Not today, but tomorrow the old girl will be get a new radiator and a full set of pulleys and belts.

My VX Berlina needed a new key / remote setup as I ran over my old key with a lawn mower :doh: I've never had an issue with my main key or spare to start the car. I called the local mobile locksmith to come out and setup a new key / remote. I noticed while he was onsite (my work) a second van...

My old girl's paint went to ****. Not only the clear coat failure, but the base coat was failing. This meant when I re done the clear it only lasted 6 months before failing again. Back to bare metal to remove any bad paint, and a respray in Midnight Blue (purple base). The 4wd springs have...

Thanks for the write up, respraying my car and this article made the job easy

refer my post about 10'hrs before your one?

In your case diff gears would be my next thing. They make a huge difference to the off the line times. Not sure if you have a LSD, but after diff gears you will really need it. What ratio you pick is open for debate. From a stock 3.07 (I think you have an A4?) all changes will make a good...

You should be able to get 0.5 sec of that. My VX has ran a 12.59 @ 111mph with bolt ons. What are the current mods?

Painted the sons car, looked pretty decent until the stupid cat jumped on it. btw it looks orange until the paint dries, then it will be red.

Remounted the speaker crossovers in the front doors as when I mounted them I didn't allow enough clearance.

mate, that is ugly

and the spring doesn't even line up perfectly to the bottom of it or the shock bottom changes from chrome to black in another pic or the pan hard rod changes color? or the wheelie bar missing in some pics? or the exhaust tips alignment is different in every pic? ... photoshop?

chopped: car handles like a piece of ****, even though every bogan thinks it makes their car handle better. Try and find one fast track car with chopped springs. Also go over a decent bump and your springs fall out of their seats = fail. chev badged V6: it doesn't even have a chev engine... V6...

It's got to be a V6 :help:

I'd say it's definitely trying to over compensate for something. :embarrass

lol, I spent 5mins checking her ass out before I even noticed the spoiler on the car

They suck air from the bottom of the box, where the 2 hole mod is, then up through the filter and towards the engine from the top of the box. They are an ok mod, but not as good as a true OTRCAI

Which oil do you use?

Got sick of the aircon venting to the windscreen, and it was not the standard loss of vacuum. So I pulled it apart and cleaned up the vac solenoid pack where the foam had deteriorated, bench tested it and put it back together using a bit of an old sheet as a filter. All working perfectly now...

Looks good, how long before the exhaust and tune to unleash those extra horsies that are in hiding. QldKev

If your running the standard thermostat and settings. Running around from 88c to 95c If your giving it a hard time up to 100c 3/4 gauge is where things start looking grim at around 115c Alarm setting is 120c Low speed fans come on at 98c and turn back off at 92c High speed fans (hopefully not...

Have you checked the actual temp the engine is running at, maybe it's only at 88c and it's just where your gauge sits for it. Just check it on the dash display. In case you don't know about it. Key OFF Hold Mode + UP Key ON to start car Let go of Mode + UP Then use mode button to get to the...

Took it out for a spin, first time since about a week the floods started up here. Air bag light came on, just hoping it is from the humidity, so I gave it a good run :w00t: Now to wait until I get a chance to check the codes.

Not a rice pic, but worth watching :rofl2: JapaneseMuscle - Overnight Parts from Japan - YouTube

Drop it into a clean bucket, and then strain it before reusing it. QldKev

till it blows

Being Armadale, wouldn't it normally be up on blocks in the front yard?

To the tune of Ice Ice baby Yo, VTEC, lets kick it, Rice Rice Baby, Rice Rice Baby... Alright stop - collaborate and listen, Rice is back with a real' bad invention. Chopped springs, they hug tha road badly, 6 inch tip flows really loud nightly. Will it ever stop, yo, I don't...

It's not a Group A, it's a walkinshaw Totally not rice... QldKev

If you hit the grill with paint stripper there is chrome underneath. The chrome looks excellent. Mine is also a series 1, the same as yours. I think they look nicer than the series 2...

oops double post

Had a look today. Looks like the vac solenoid pack must be dead. I ran the black vac feed line straight into the white 'face' line and I have face level vents. I strapped it into place for now, and will look at another vac solenoid pack later. At least I have air con again. It's 3.30pm and...

I may give it a play with this weekend, thanks for the idea of what next to try. Will post back how I go.

You've already worked it out, but I'll agree, going from 3.08 to 3.45 is the correct factor for what you have found. Not sure on the older cars, but I know on my LS1 to correct the speedo my tuner just updated it in the tune. If you want to play with ratios I have some info on my website...

Yet another VX with the aircon/heating air going to the windscreen all the time, without caring what mode the climate control is set to. I've checked the vacuum line on the back of the intake manifold and all appears good. No cracks etc, no hissing sounds. With the engine off if I remove the vac...

I think next paint the power steering reservoir. I've been going to do mine chrome, but to match your other colors either red or black. Also get a DUS OTRCAI QldKev

Took the old girl out for a spin (VX), car showing 28c outside I need to get the aircon fixed before summer gets close.

Do you think the spray sound deadener makes a difference? Also what brand did you use? Been thinking of doing it to the car for a while. QldKev

Resprayed the bonnet due to clear coat failure. I took it right back to get rid of some stone chips etc pretty happy with the result!

I've got the premium sound deck and cd stacker from my VX. pm me if your interested. Buttons 3 and 6 are a bit stiff on the deck, but still work, the stacker has always worked excellent. I don't have the PIN for the deck. QldKev

Nothing, but I got my HR truck drivers license today :driving:
