    engine noise when amping speakers

    by the sounds of it this is a similar issue to the alternator whine whilst listening to iPod through Aux cable whilst the ipod is charging from memory some of the guys were saying that a putting a resistor on the alternator gets rid of, or helps with cancelling the noise....but i may be wrong :S

    what colour should I paint my calipers

    gloss back as mentioned or a glossy grey, something subtle that makes you take a second look without being outrageous and in your face disgusting

    VF Release date?

    95% of these posts have been off topic but i have enjoyed the read regardless what I'm really trying to get at though is whether or not to wait for the VF to come out or not spose i could have a series 2 for 2 1/2 years and then trade in...IF i like the VF's when they come out, i sure as hell...

    VF Release date?

    agreed! i think there's also alot of money to be made by holden with the "supposed" turbo 6's that will be introduced with the VF's to challenge the xr6t, that's if there's any truth to the rumours

    VF Release date?

    yeh, so like a year and a half pretty much, hmmmmm decisions! it amazes me how long they are keeping the VE around as the max most other models were around was 5 years.....the series 2 VE got released after 5 years of the VE being around already so say the VF comes out close to 2014 then the...

    VF Release date?

    this may be a cardinal sin to post in the VE section, but does anyone know when the VF is going to be released? i just know it would burn me if i upgraded my car to a series 2 and then the VF came out 6 months later...

    VE SV6 help

    ssv tail lights? a must in my opinion, if you drive a sedan that is slimline plates, bee sting aerial, hsv steering wheel are also options also, for power, as mentioned underdrive pulley system, mace manifold insulators, CPR6 manifold... good luck with it all

    aftermarket car stereo dash kit finally here

    agree with you on the buttons, they could do some wor to make it look a bit more presentable iphone integration is a great thing, but is it really worth that much money if you have an aux cable anyways another positive is that you now have a better head unit for audio if it was me however i...

    VE SV6 Cats

    agree with kuzman, no point really unless you purchase a pair of 200 cpsi for better sound IF you do extractors etc at the same time 100 cpsi are too free flowing and will sound raspy not too much to be had in terms of gains though
  26. SteveHatz

    VE SV6 Cats

    400 cpsi.....ceramic....ARE considered to be high flow, but not really in comparison to some of the good stuff that is reasonably priced on the market now

    E85 Anyone?

    interesting....more power from e85 if tuned accordingly....but is e85 worse for the engine in any way? Some say that 98 keeps the engine internals clean and in good condition etc...how does e85 fair in this department?

    King springs for the ve's

    shocks wont change the height of the car, they will accommodate the lowered springs much better though i cant comment on which shocks are best out of monroe or pedders but the boge shocks i have i would highly recommend and you will probs pick em up for cheaper from GSL Rallysport who are site...
