Yeah nice mate. I'd say drop a nice set of ultra rear and super front then see if you like it. Kit or no kit it won't look too bad I reckon :D I just finished some minor engine work to my car, hence why it was at powercruise! I just got Jake at Jakes performance to cam it, heads. Basically the...

Don't listen to the blokes putting down your car mate. It's YOURS, you do what you think looks best. Just don't go bogan spec. Do it properly the first time. I have the same wheels as you on my VX SS, they look mad I reckon, but probably more mad because I got my wheels for free. Red walls...

Heyo, It is most likely an SS but an EX police car. If it's manual it wont have traction control at all. If you have a little isolation switch or in normal terms another "off" switch for your lights behind the steering wheel on the left, it is a police car. Another way to tell is, look at the...

Thanks guys!!! I don't know for sure but with the gear in it not including charger and cam it would be anywhere between 220 and 240rwkw! After charger Jakes rated it at about 390 - 410rwkw.

Got walls done on the SS yesterday, in time for Powercuise in Sydney :D Big thanks to White Walls deluxe in Canberra for the awesome job for cheap!!

Thanks for the reply mate! Yeah i'm pretty fail with updating :P just thought I might as well bulk update :D, I know exactly what you mean about the spoilers, I originally was going to go no wing, but too many P platers do that, so senator spoiler it is! Also jake at jakes performance in...

Sounds like the Oxygen sensors have had it mate, doesn't know how much Oxygen is hasn't burnt so its telling the computer to dump more fuel in, running rich.

Bit of an update to my HUGE audience :P 3 New things, got new engine covers. Got an SS inductions growler system. Last but not least I got a supercharger :D :D :D

Lowered a mates car, order'd the package your looking at, SL king springs and monroe shocks and struts, $600 bucks and a week later they were here.

Very nice man, gotta love the red leather interrior hey ;)

Hey mate very interested in the Cluster, I'm in the ACT. PM me a price, thanks mate!

Location? then me and my big tow truck will sort the rest out haha :D

Wow not one person gave you a simple bit of info... Well if you have standard springs its not crazily important but it does matter. For the time being cut of the bit thats hanging, but replace the bump stop asap as if you hit a deep enough pot hole itll hit metal to metal instead of rubber to...

Well if you get no hits on it and snag some time I'm always open and have the cash ready!

Guys no need to be so harsh, he is right let me explain. Firstly his mates would've got two of the "big bottles" as he needed them by tonight harry, then strapped them to the rear main seal. While the nitro was getting loaded into the crank case the cam shaft was spinning the rack ends making...

Hey mate got a VX S2 SS and thinking of bagging the rear, would you not post to ACT? as it will be hard to get time off work to come pick them up. PM me with details mate!

Haha thanks mate, I can't get over the red leather and how many people compliment it! The red cluster facia is sitting down stairs minus the old cluster :P just need to find the time to put it in the white SS :D

All pics fixed guys, story should make some sense now! :D

Hey all, I can't say I'm new to the forum at all really :P I just struggle to find a lot of time outside of work and weekend commitments :P So any ways I had better explain myself and the tittle for "Daves VX History", It all started back in late about August 2009, when I became the proud...

Excels are in the list because apparently they only made a few different sets of keys for the old bubble style ones, back in the days of production that is. So basically if you had a key for one you had a 1 in 50odd chance of being able to unlock another one no troubles. Also... its a hyundai...

Man, I used to own a tungsten silver VX acclaim a while back, fell in love with the colour and the car. Man this is an awesome build mate, really really impressive! Good work mate it just keeps getting better!

Fantastic man, just read the whole thing. I have a lot of respect for your patients with cars and your taxi mate! :D

So tempting, pitty the exhaust shop just took a majority size chunk of my money :( Good luck with the sale mate, they should sell like hot cakes with the new tyres!

The rear main, if it's not completely pi***ng out oil, don't stress too much. By memory you can do the rear main with the engine IN, transmission or gearbox has to be dropped though. As for the engine touching the cross member, it usually means engine mounts have crapped them self, and the motor...

That's exactly the same as mine mate!!! My new SS since the black one got written off is white!, One thing i can tell you, they are not VX GTO rims, they are knock off's. I have a set of VX gto rims that I bought straight off of a VX GTO, they look slightly different to those.

I would go with what Goose said, link pins or strut tops, I know for a fact if you've lowered your car and haven't put brand new strut top bearings in or even if the car has a few KM's on original strut tops or BOTH, the bearings in the strut tops wear out big time, and have a tenancy to Click...

I bought a SP roll cab and top box tool box full for $1700 about a year ago, I think it was 320pc set or close to it by memory. Me being an apprentice I'm not the most... experienced with tools so they haven't had the best life, Never once had an issue with them, great tools, they feel solid and...

I'd go the 4000's, got them for the front of my VX SS cost me 90 bucks a disc from Repco, they have a lot more bite and look a whole lot better than the stock discs IMO.

I own a 1949 Wolseley six eighty ex police car, don't drive it because it's not rego'd!

I took the rear lights out of my vx ss masked of the indicator and reverse part of the unit and sprayed 2 coats of night shade, looks fantastic!

Very VERY tidy mate, looks great. The rims set the silver off. Now time for some side skirts ;)

This is my new baby, done a little work to it :) Still a lot more to come!

Yeah I don't want to damp your spirits but, I am a third year at the moment, I love it now, after 3 years... all they do is treat you like pure s*** for the first few years, I also recommend you do it in the military.

Hey mate, i know its against some of your options but i have a white VN S pack manual sitting downstairs gathering dust. Never been touched just needs a good wash. 260,000kms 1988 model. Email me on [email protected] if you are interested.

If all else fails get a VN transmission... or a auto vn's computer! I've been told no matter how much you rev them, if you've manually selected first gear they wont budge off it.

I agree with the Christmas decorations and silence to remember who gave the ultimate for us to walk freely. If some races don't like it, leave or deal with it. We don't go to Russia and say stop drinking vodka because it tastes like s*** do we? :P Why should they tell us or press a choice on us...

Not an expert on cooling systems but I wouldn't be worrying too much mate, just so long as it's not running hot and the radiator cap doesn't burn you badly when you touch it after a good drive. Make sure there's no air locks in the system and make sure there is some fluid in the overflow so it...

Two words. 'Massive Headache'. All the best with this car mate. I can't wait to see it finished!

Try it out, put them on see if you like them or not. Personally I love the plain green with the back lights and rims looks tough.

My VX was lowered 3 inches all round (King Spring superlows) and I had the car like that for 13 months, until I sold it. Didn't get defected at all with 5 people in the car or just me. I had a federal cop look at it, the pits, and every RBT that pulled me over look at the height of my car. They...
