Hello! Up for sale is my RED 1986 VL SL 5-speed manual commodore. It has a 3.0L 6-Cylinder engine with 2.5inch exhaust system. The car is lowered all-round on King Springs, with 17inch rims. Registered to 11-12-2011. ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO, THE 5-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX WAS FULLY RECONDITIONED...

lol yeahhhh, shut up. hahaha. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Any helpful tips on adjusting the handbrake anybody? I can't seem to adjust it on the RHS wheel and it's extremely frustrating! Whichever way I turn the little wheel, it doesn't seem to be making any progress whatsoever!

SOLVED! I feel so stupid now... Turned out it was actually the wrong relay. Went up to Repco, got myself a 5-pin relay and all is fixed! Except; now: 1. The interior light flicks on when high beam is turned on 2. Can't flash high beam

Okay thanks, I'll spray them all with contact cleaner and see if that helps... If not it can't hurt to be done anyway as it's probably pretty bad :/ Then I'll check earths and get back to you all!

I have tested the voltage from the relays, yes...

I'm thinking this now because I can't seem to find anything else wrong...

Hi everybody; So my VL's headlights are playing up and I just can't seem to figure out the source of the problem! On HIGH BEAM, all the lights are on as they are supposed to be, on low beam only the park lights are on and when only the park lights are turned on, they are as supposed to be...

Well I haven't been on here in AGGESS! Been reading about and decided I'd come back here and update you all; About to run out of rego and I'm going away for the Christmas holidays to Europe! Seeing as I have no money, no job and my parents are refusing to pay the rego; it seems i'm pretty...

updatesss? I'm keen to see this thing!

Yeah I agree that 3" is too big; I have a n/a with 2.5" and it sounds pretty damn boss....

I nudged a wall the other day in a carpark :( Nothing major, just fked the front bumper which is kind of annoying, but as you can see from the pictures, it was already stuffed. Been getting my hours up a bit recently, hopefully get in lots of driving before the end of December as I go away to...

Well ! I haven't been on in a while but now I have a bit so say; Took the gearbox out about a month ago, took it to the place to get it reconditioned, to then find out that pretty much, it was well and truly ####ed! So after $1000, new synchro's, bearings, two or three new shafts and all...

Well! It's been a while since anything has happened, but finally I took the gearbox out yesterday. Took a while and got a fair bit dirty, but it's out and cleaned now, ready to be reconditioned! Will be inquiring tomorrow regarding quotes and things for it, then taking it in on Tuesday for the...

I bought my car through eBay and it was all sweet. I sell quite a few things on eBay fairly regularly though, just random bits and pieces and I do lots of looking at cars on eBay for future projects and things. The problem with most people is that they do not take into account that EBAY IS...

new signature quote. thankyou!

the exhausts on those Japanese Bosozuku cars make them look like pikachu...

same problem, done!

Well today is a great day for me! Was just talking to my Dad and he said that he'd front the $600 for the gearbox now and as soon as I get a job I have to pay him back half. I think I'll talk him into letting me pay him back the full amount as I feel I would owe it and it would be much better...

okay, none of you will really like this, but listen to it anyway! Confession - I am the nightrider Confession - Chewed up and spat out Maybe not the type of 'bass' you like, but give that a blast! If not, there's plenty out there! Just search Youtube for a while and you will find trillions of...

yeah, but I'm thinking that it would be good to get a working condition box for cheap now which will last a few months or a year or something, by which time I will have a job and some money saved up to buy a reco'd one... Problem is knowing who to buy the s/h box from and knowing what condition...

yeah I've had a look, they seem pretty good.. I'm pretty good at eBay window shopping. Need to get my gearbox sorted first, dad reckons it's better to spend the extra money and get it reconditioned than buy a used one.. He's going halves with me though, so that's roughly $250 from me, seen them...

I'm not saying perfect condition, but good in that it doesn't crunch or make the whole car shudder as my current does! Anything that doesn't do that, is good condition for me.

bump bump bump

it's all broken as you can see, once I get some money coming in and it's all running sweet I'll buy a whole new bumper set

ahuh! thankyou all very much! one last thing though, any ideas on how much a full set of them will cost?

does anybody know the proper name for these things?

so there is plate things there! do they just glue on, or what?

okay, this may sound extremely stupid, but here goes! On my VL as you can see by clicking on my sig, you can clearly see the side trim bumper thing stick out from the main body of the car. On this car below however, this is not clear and almost looks as if a plastic plate type thing is glued on...

please delete this.

I was thinking about it before, what might be better is just to fix up the dings and rust, then get it resprayed the same red again, just all fresh again.. much cheaper to do this too!

So, I've been doing some photoshopping, seeing what my car will eventually look like in a nice blue over silver. I'm definitely not the greatest photoshopper, but you get the idea! Thoughts?

Yeah I guess I'll need to get a new door then, Looks like somebody has hit it with a battering ram.

seems I'll be saving for a while, thanks!

Pm sent Michael.

Yeah, did that the other day, it's not the problem. Made no difference whether it was plugged in or not. So, I now know it's not the following are all fine: - Distributor cap - Intake piping between AFM and throttle body - Air filter - AFM Leaving possibilities of: - o2 sensor - Leaking...

thankyou very much!

Hey all! just wondering, some people have a small comment under their avatar+name in every post they make. Can I edit this so that I have a comment like that too? Can't seem to find anything in settings, Thanks
