If you could also do a pic of the rear slightly lower with the white rims on my vz, just tucking the rim. If you need better pics let me know and il...

    issues with headers/cats on 5.7

    Thanks for the input guys. It is just a warning to service at 150 000 kms, thats what it says. I will clear it when i service it. How much can i expect to pay just for a touch up tune to suit the mods, not going mafless and not looking for massive power increases

    My Black on Black VZ ss ute

    Put a diffilipo twin 2.5 cat back on, happy that it is an impovement, a little louder and a nicer sound. Still would like a bit more out of it, it's actually not all that loud. I've heard bits and peices on resonator removal but could result in drone. Hi-flow cats and/or extractors, expensive...

    opinions on these LED headlight globes

    Hey guys, recently came across these LED headlights on ebay. The current 'Xenon' ones i have in my vs ute suck to be honest and give off a dull, yellowish light, even on highbeam. I was wondering if anyone has any idea how the LED headlights would work and whether its worth giving a shot for...
