it is a constant whirring, the whirring/whining sound almost has a pulse to it which increases with speed, it's very dull and can hardly be heard at standstill or with your foot off the accelerator.

Hey guys, looking for some help with my brother's diff. All is standard and it's done 113,000k's. The diff has been whining for about a year or so and now the pinion seal has carked it. What causes the diff to whine? Is it stuffed? Can anyone recommend a shop around the eastern subs...

Changed the leads with GMH ones and it is perfect now, just as good as when it was first bought. Thanks fellas, I really appreciate your help.

Leads are next then. Like you said VT Berlina 07 it does happen often up hills. I'll replace them and give an update :D Thanks guys.

Haha thanks :D

Hey all, I find myself on here every now and again to find out about a problem my brother is having with his VX. The car in question is a VX Series 2 S pac with the supercharged V6, stock as a rock. The problem is a hessitation in acceleration, you put your foot right down and it...

Hey guys, Every time I take a left hand turn at moderate speed the steering seems to get stuck half way through the turn. There's no noises and it doesn't exactly get literally stuck, it requires actually straightening the steering wheel with effort as opposed to when you turn right and the...

Hey guys, I know, it's a ford. It's got a mitsubishi alternator in it atm and it just died (probably from trying to run 1000wrms thru it). I couldn't ever run the sterio at more than 30% because it would cut out. I'm looking at a bigger one, the one in there is either 55a or 85a. I was told...

I remember reading somewhere about a cable you can make up to hook up a VX to a computer and perform real time diagnostics and tuning... What's involved in it? What kinda software will I need also? Any information will be a big help, Thanks in advance.

ok 2.5" is cool, any brands or places I can get em? What kinda price range should we be looking at from the engine to the boot?

What causes catalytic converters to crack? We've ruled out heavy impact due to no damage on the exhaust system. The broken cat egg smell has been around for a very long time, only now is the inside of the cats rattling. Holden has quoted my brother $1400 per Holden Cat installed and we...

Your engine wouldn't happen to be Supercharged by any chance? They whistle...

Catalytic converter and muffler, ROFLMFAO! Good theory but seriously LMFAO!

lol I asked a girl at maccas once and it was a genuine question but I couldn't help but think dirty.

Do you like pickle in your burger?

Agrhh this argument is stupid... Standard WRX beats standard Commodore 6 or 8... All this 'but wait if you take this off this and add this to this" crap is ... crap.

I did mention that in one of my previous posts. Lets for arguments sake say there is a computer driving both of them... Subi should win, no?

check the counter... 12 second beetle... I loved that launch. Even thorpey would say that launch was Fully Sick.

Personally, I love it in the car, especially my bro's car, something hot about the black leather interior. I feel good because I christened that car, he doesn't know it and never will... although he did see a couple of stains I managed to miss during cleanup... Apparently one of my friends was...

My house... I'm pretty lenient with my address if I have good intentions... I live with my mum and brother, they were 'sleeping'. This is my second first date getting some, first one happened in the car.. the clean VX, wasn't so clean when I was done with it. My mum is cool, she wants all the...

Lol, date was last night..... It's been 7 weeks right? Lets say it's been 7 hours now.

Hehe, good one...

I'm not arguing here all I'm saying is in my opinion if you race the cars how they come out of the factory and the Forced 4 will beat the NA8.

I'm 18... I've gone through 4 cars since I started at 16... F**D Falcon 87 XF S-pak S/Wagon Sold $400 with $700 sterio system. Broke head. 91 VN Commo, bought for $900, was lemon, sold for $1500 F**D Falcon 91 EB S/wagon, Bought for $2200, broke head, sold $4100 Another Falcon 91 EB S/wagon...

lol my car has more decibels than kilowatts..... Supposed to have 139kw... Feels like 70 or so to the wheels. Surely 1000w RMS Produces more than 70... Surely it would get close to 139?

HAHA GTR v Commie... LOL!! ROFLMFAO!!! ME LAUGHING!

lol Curls get the girls... If I had a dollar for every time I've said that... Just so happens by coincidence, I have a curly wogfro. I'm not a playa. I'm the owner of the team. If I was a playa, would I be sitting here complaining that I haven't got any in 7 weeks? Then again, I guess I'm...

That's what I'm talking about. Chicks love a guy who takes special care of his automobile. Tonight's the night, Sunday, Dinner with a hottie in Chapel St. Gonna make sure I clean the car shmicka shmick. Mo$ka's gonna get some! :w00t:

Yeah but c'mon, like you said, WRX comes standard with turbo. Commodore comes standard as a standard 6 or 8 (maybe a S/C 6, but S/C 6 still doesn't compare). You take a V8 Commie out of the Holden factory and a WRX out of the Subaru factory and if they were racing to a Cafe 400m away from the...

Blonde is good, they have more fun. I think those blondes with a bit of brunette at the roots really have the most fun, best of both worlds. I prefer blondes, they're dumb enough to get in the car with me and generally (no offence) they're easy... Not because they're actually easy, but because...

OK I love cars... But dogs? Isn't that only legal in New Zealand?? Oh wait.. no.. sheep..... TASMANIA! that's where it's legal to do dogs... cuz basically they're all dogs over there. Lol sorry. Really, if i've offended anyone... GET OVER IT!.. no seriously, say so and I'll take it down :D.

Hehe and the one important girl gets the optus number so she can always reach me and whenever I'm with her the Vodafone gets switched off. I also manage to never have any msg's saved on my Vodafone... strange that...

I love how it's turned into an argument. When I said 80% sure I was thinking 80% sure of WRX being 6 not VZ. Turns out the WRX is 5. Also turns out all he's changed is fuel and intercooler, turbo is stock. You take the WRX and fill it with weight so it weighs as much as a VZ SS. Then add...

I got an early EB 3.9 that goes pretty good (considering it's on gas) 0-100 though, god, 10-12 seconds? I'll check... Next time I'm near a 100 zone.... After I get a RWD....

I'm 80% sure it's 6, I'll confirm with him next time I see him.

It's not alternator whine through the speakers? Maybe the undercar neon's are messing with airflow causing a whisle, I remember on a ford I had, above 80kmph the drivers side mirror would have a loud whisle. But if it happens with accelleration I would have thought alternator whine. A mate...

Is there a problem drilling through the firewall? I should have asked this question a long time ago, I've drilled through 3 or 4 different firewalls around the drivers footwell and soon enough I would have done it again........

Yeah there should be a wire coming out with Earth, 12v, Accessory, Speakers, etc. on the same connection. Mine's solid blue, but mine's also Pioneer.

Hehe yeah a mate of mine came up with that, well not so much came up with it... me and another mate said something about WD40 and the other guy butted in with "yeah they should make that legal, my girlfriend could probably use it" me and my mate just crack up laughing...

lol I tried licking my elbow (as far as I remember, first time I've ever tried). I can tie a snake and a cherry stalk into a knot with my tongue (I did once succeed in putting 2 knots in a cherry stalk). I don't know if that makes me a good kisser or being a good kisser makes me able to do...
