Rear only, fronts have 60% tread still left

They are the same roads I've driven before at the same speeds and it never use to kick in, road is not wet, car has new tyres so there is no actual slippage

I have a 2006 SS-V and when going around 80-100km/h right hand bends the traction control briefly kicks in, not always, but often enough to be of concern. Any thoughts on whats causing this, left hand bends are fine?

When the car is cold and usually when trying to reverse it stalls a lot due to the pulsing of the cam I assume, and I have an auto which doesn't help. Is there any way to stop this aside from a retune?

I've got the dongle already which I've tested with my phone and it works great, just the display on the phone is way too small and I'll be using android as that is what my phone is.

I'm looking at purchasing a tablet which will be used in the car for media playback, gps and OBDII using one of the android apps e.g. Dash Command. What is the minimum size display I will need for ODBII so that its still readable? Would a Nexus 7 be enough with a 7" screen?

Is the problem in clearance due the diameter or thickness?

Is there any risk in over writing my custom tune when I upgrade this software or are they completly seperate?

Is there anyway to tell if this is happening? I'm getting power drain but I have a feeling its from my extra stereo amps

Every now and then the text on the HIVAC display becomes distorted and unreadable like an old school TV that isn't tuned into the channel correctly and then after a while it fixes itself, has anyone seen this before and whats the most likely cause?

How does the anti-theft on it work?

I'm running SSSL on all 4 corners with Monroe shocks, no problem whats so ever

Will a tune be able to replicate the same thing?

I've added a couple amps for the stereo but they turn on/off using the speaker output from the head unit. What was the charging issue?

Yes, underdrive pulley

Usually shows around 13 or 14 on the display

My car had a smaller lower pulley already installed when I purchased it and I have noticed that the battery loses its charge after a couple days of sitting idle. Could this be due to the pulley mod not charging the battery fully when the car is running or more likely a battery/alternator issue?

How much work is it to drill out the knuckle for the 6-pots?

I'm wanting to upgrade the brakes on my VE-SSV and am trying to decide if 4-pot or 6-pot is the way to go for the fronts for purely street use? From what I've read the 4-pot are a straight swap while the 6-pot requires some modification if I'm using CTS-V calipers

From memory I used the middle nut as the other two are fused for factory electronics and putting a amp on there would trip the fuses

sounds like a plan, thanks. How have you found the bit 10, did you tune it yourself?

I'll be using a bit 10 as well. How did you wire everything up?

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the factory amp thats in the boot on my SS-V? I'm after a switched 12v for remote on for my replacements amps

For those guys who use their commodores as a weekend track car, what is your suspension setup?

Thanks, got any better pics of just the front or progress shots of it being done? I really like the way it looks and wouldn't mine trying it on my red SS

Are the black parts on your front bumper vinyl wrap or plastidip?

Holden dealership didn't have any in stock and wanted $19 each for them

I'm after a couple of the white clips that run along the bottom of the front doors that allows the door lining to screw into the door itself, anyone know where to purchase them from?

Whats the price on that combo?

I get quite a bit of understeer which is very noticeable when going around a round about in the wet. I'm rolling on 245x20x35 which currently have no-name tyres which were on when I bought the car, SSSL King springs and Monroe Shocks. The first thing I plan to do is upgrade the tyres once the...

Is anyone aware of any good black Friday deals coming out e.g. brake packages?

This is located by each of the front seats, anyone have an idea what it does?

Do you have any pics from the side?

I have a pair of Hertz 165's, they have a fairly wide basket on them and if I open the existing housing up there would be nothing left to screw the speaker into

I'm wanting to put 6.5" speakers in the front doors but they wont fit the factory housing as its designed for 6". I then planned to make my own mount but the surface isn't flat so that ruled that out. Has anyone been able to do this?

Are the door actuators the same for various VE models or will I need to get one specifically for a SS?

Has anyone experienced the inside door lock on the doors sticking? My driver door lock sticks and I can't unlock or lock the door, no matter if I use the key, alarm fob or centre console lock. The only way to unlock it is to come in through another door and manually force the inside latch on...

Any idea of cost?

Thanks, the springs and wheels were already on the car and I recently added the shocks. The suspension doesn't feel stiff when hitting bumps in a straight line, I would actually prefer it to be stiffer

I'm running SSSL springs with Monroe Sport GT shocks on 20x35x245 wheels and if I corner the steering feels very twitchy, its even worse if there is a bump mid-corner. A lot of people recommend sway bars as a worth while upgrade, will this solve my problem?
