Pretty simple question. My knowledge of car modification is very limited, so I figured I'd ask people who are more educated about the subject. I have a 96 VS Statesman with a 5L, I'm wondering what kind of mods I should go for to get a bit more power from it, my budget is limited though...

Haha, I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago, the entire town lost power, shops, residences, traffic. It's scary as hell because you don't know who is gonna go and who isn't. You just have to give way to your right and get through the intersection as fast as possible while trying to...

No, I said you need to know how to control your car. You don't need experience to do that. I can control my car, but as a P plater I wouldn't say I have much experience.

The most retarded thing is if I were under these laws I couldn't have my Stato which is 168kw factory. The new Commo SIDI's as everyone knows are 210kw, and a P plater can legally drive one. That's where I have a problem with it.

Beer, because I don't drink it and can't stand it. If I've got sex and a car, I'm a very happy man. :rofl2:

lol at people getting worked up over this. I got my Statesman last March, 22 months after I got my P's and I was 19. Haven't had any problems with driving a V8 and I had a V6 before that. It's got nothing to do with road respect or experience really. You just need respect for your...

Someone should put a Buick badge on their 3.8L.

Show us 'yer, erm... Purple bits? O.o looks good, nice to see you chose a kit that actually designed for the car. None of the VY/VZ bodykit on VR/VS ****. Smart girl.

I'm not bothered either way. My Stato is an auto, but I've got my manual license and I drove a manual ute to make deliveries at my last job. I'm comfortable with either, though I'd probably prefer an auto because I'm lazy. I just had the elitist numbnuts that take the "Manual cars are...

Only one I've seen in my area is a green VE SS Ute, it's got lights in the grille and just at the bottom of the rear window. They occasionally use it for radar, I don't know why kind of waste of resources, gives it away when there's a guy standing 50m from it on the side of the road with a...

Whoever the Stig is actually has a clause in their contract where they have to keep their identity a secret, if his identity is discovered he automatically loses his job, that's why they changed from the Black Stig to the White Stig. "James May claims that there is a clause in the Stig's...

Big Pun ft. Joe - Still Not A Player

Failed L's twice, got it the third time. Failed P's twice, got it the third time, won't have a test to go onto opens in May. :smoking:

I got some help from my folks, I had saved $1500 towards a car, but my rents got into some debt and Mum asked if she could borrow the $1500 I had, so I did, then just after I finished school, Mum gave it back and gave me another $1500 on it out of appreciation that I had lent her the money (it...

That's pretty awesome, the split flag on the gloves looks sweet.

Your daughters boyfriend has fake tits?

Yeah but how many chicks drive Commodores or Falcons, or even utes in general? They usually drive either an Excel, a Getz, a Swift, or some other Japanese hatchback.

The SS or the Statesman. The non colour coded bumpers ruined the VR Calais imo.

That's why it's kind of retarded advertising a car in regards to how safe it is. You could have 10 airbags or no airbags, you hit a tree sideways at 180, you're not walking away.

I swear I was just flicking channels. I swear!

Best idea ever, lock the kids in a cupboard.

Obviously British Airways believe that no one with a vagina can be a sexual predator.

Why settle for just a jeep, when you can have a Holden Statesman Jeep? 1999 Holden Statesman WH FREE 3 YR WA V6 Blue 4sp A - eBay, Passenger Vehicles, Cars, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 18-Jan-10 10:54:05 AEDST)

That was Dr. Phil you heard that on. :rofl2:

I agree with majority of what has been said in this thread. I think one of the biggest factors is knowing your cars abilities, knowing how far you can push it, knowing whether you can get across a road in time i.e pulling out of a drive way to the other side of the road. A good driver...

Damnit. I lost the game like 4 times yesterday. Stupid facebook.

Haha, yeah I had a similar situation happen with my old VP Exec, it had a fibreglass Clubby kit on it, and I got rear ended, but the bumper held on because the fibreglass wrapped around the towbar thing and got stuck (it was a flimsy bumper, wasn't installed properly). Stayed like that till I...

I think so.

I loved the one, it was on a show, I can't remember which one, but a guy was showing his mate a GPS, and he turns the voice on the GPS to Smirnoff, and it says "In Soviet Russia, car drives YOU!"

A. Your shitty rims aren't worth the amount of the house. B. If for some retarded reason you did set fire to the house, there could be women or kids in there, good luck living with that on your conscience. C. No one on here thinks your tough for trying to get revenge on an asshole act by...

Lol at the piping needed to flow the air to the throttle body, what a mess. I do like the black exterior and red engine bay though, very classy.

So if ever I have a black friend and we go to KFC is it wrong for me to shout him? Cause he's black and I'm giving him chicken I mean. Same principle, no?

Sense. This post makes loads.

I fail to see what my own car has to do with anything. And I wasn't comparing it to anything. I'm just saying, if this is like the E2 HSV's it'll be what? around 80k or so. You can pick up a decent BMW or Merc for the same price that's a much better quality.

That article is interesting right up until this. Makes me shudder just thinking about it, while you guys are bitching about how Holden makes no changes or development in their V8 range, at least they're not desperately trying to revive models from their glory years like Ford are (well with...

Ah, I see you don't pick up sarcasm very well. Better luck next time.

YouTube - Oversized exhaust I win.

This, shame they don't make it in big bar form like the cadbury/nestle ****.

LMAO. I haven't seen that in ages, pure gold.
