General Xander submitted a new Showcase Item: 1996 Holden Commodore Read more about this showcase item here...

So, Just thought id put up an update. in the latter months of 2013, i lost my license (silly me haha). As a result i had my best mate drive me around every now and again. this was good until one day he managed to take the car through a fence into a paddock, through the same fence further down...

i was thinking that given the supercharger, its probably doing more restricting then pressurizing haha, less air means less fuel. = good economy haha

After a look, all the wires in the back of the barrel and the wires in the back of the head unit are fine, so I'm leaning towards a new barrel then :( any other advice?

Thanks for all the replies, I'm pretty sure the acc wire hasn't grounded since i put the remote wire for the sub in, but then again mabe that's me being lazy and not wanting to pull the car apart again haha, the key doesn't feel funny when turned but it's a possibility, Ive heard stories about...

Hey, went out for a smoke before and noticed some lights in my car were on, that's odd I thought as the key was in my pocket, so I went down to find that the radio (and subsequently the amp and sub), cigarette lighter power and foot well lights were on (as they run off the cigarette lighter...

Put a new radiator in and serviced it, no more oil light under braking :)

so much trolling haha spose i asked for it making a mini spool thread if i can get a true trac for under 400 ill save up, no question the only reason i considered a minispool is coz theyre cheap. im not about to go out and chuck hectik burn outs everywhere, im just sick of the single spinner...

lucky i had my flame shield up haha, id love too but in reallity theres no way im gunna pull 2 grand outa my ass when im goin to uni and struggling to get by, im really just after a bit of cheap fun but as i drive 1000ks a week to uni and whatnot im a bit hesitant as i dont have the money for...

Ok, so im pretty much decided that im gunna get a minispool. Im just looking for some tips on driving one how much more difficult are they to drive, how much is the turn in affected are they more difficult to park with? what else changes just general tips for driving with one thanks

Yer I've got blue ones. Cop pulled me over, let me take em out and drive off, if only I could do this with a v8 Haha "here let me put the 6 back In" Haha Sent from my HTC Tattoo using Tapatalk

coup de grâce: Ok so you wan't to really #### with him. First, get a bunch of people. Then, go to the wreckers, a wreckers, any wreckers, and look and look and look. You're looking for a similar model car, same color. It can be as ####ed up as you want, the more the better I would say. Then...

no. car will retune it self to suit any minor changes you make, like the exhaust. the only problems you will get is from the cops coz of noise.

no, just to key the surface. it needs to be some what rough

as said above, the convoluting it to let the engine move under load with out pulling the pipe out thats why i used a stretchyer piece of silicone hose on one joint so the intake flex with the moters movement. with out it it just kept getting pulled apart. and those 'ducts' after the maf are to...

Search Google for a tyre size calculator to find out what size you need Sent from my HTC Tattoo using Tapatalk

haha yer and a $20 chip off ebay haha To OP, as i say to everyone, if you dont need a tune after doing a mod there will be bugger all difference. may as well do the cam, the rockers and mabe the heads, then do little things like the exhaust and intake. and if you do a normal tune instead of a...

IMO, 10 psi pulley, High ratio rockers, and a stage 2 cam. then a nice tune to suit

Vz had the alloytec. Although the Eco's had more down low, the alloy can rev cleanly past 7 grand. The computer probably won't let you but they can. Dad used to work in the v6 plant and he had them reving high as on the engine dynes. Where as the Ecos would be on valve thrash from 5 Sent from...

Look at it this way. Unless you'll need a tune after the mod, there's going to be bugger all power increase. save, get hr rockers, a cam, mabe a stroker, and whatever exhaust you wanna do, put it all on at once, tune, then you'll get a decent increase. You shouldn't need a bigger throttle body...

Yer my dad (who worked at holden for 30 years) had the chance to buy one from one of his work mates. it was just sitting there either getting scrapped? or sold. i cant remember, and he considered, but then didnt want it. i was like WTF!!!! when he told me. i cant belive he didnt want it. it was...

Yer I get ya, good point, I guess I'm lucky getting tunes basicly for free, i guess the best option would be to do it all at once

Yer I agree, glad I didn't get flamed. But all the other mods by them selfs will just turn the cam into a bottle neck so you may as well get the cam first coz you'll start out with more power and get the other stuff later. If he spends a few hundred on the intake and what not he'll be disappointed

the pontiac ones. the monaro ones look **** on any car imo. ruined the monaros completly. i dont mind the new ones though

farcking lol

$600 camwould get you more alone than all the above mods, and eve more with them

hang on, just looked at the pictures, lol, yer i see what you mean, mabe a head on gutter mount, by the look of it it looks like it may have happened over time and thats why nothings broken, just stretched. mabe a new Z bar?

well my mates car, when its on flat ground and you look closely, you can see its on a very slight angle, mabe sat on a hill or gutter all the time or something, yours may have done the same thing

yer lol, mines named Sarah. dont know why. lol

the suspension couldve just sagged on one side

I meant they're only made to handle 150kw. Especialy on vr back, they used a stamp to put an arrow on the piston right at the thinnest point. It made it prone to cracking when more power was being made. Especialy when your boosting it, more preasure

Thanks man. nah i love the door handles. coz the guy that i bought it off re painted the car, he also did the door handles, and IMO, it makes the car look cleaner. about the exhaust. its good, alot better than stock and it costs 50 bucks. its different to a cat back tho. its a 'smoother' sound...

you might just wanna change pistons, stock ones are only rated at 150kW and your already making 140.

That lucky bastard.

Yes, win, its the same here in vic. This bypass would've been put in at least 5 years ago now and its still 80 "to let drivers get used to the new road" tis bullshit I say

Sorry bout the dig but yes I do

Considering there have been no posts on this thread for exactly a year and a day now, i thought id update it with some history. Well since getting the car, ive loved it to death. and as such i managed to put it up the back of a 2010 Nissan Maxima. F*cking $80,000 car. And, stupidly, neglected...

Thanks mate happy to help. Strut bearings are only like 30 bucks anyway.

oh, and you forgot wayne-o. and that "'goin on c*nt" is a perfectly acceptable way of greeting a friend
