Yeah thx man . I was thinking about the rain could be a problem, I am in melbourne after all haha.

Ok Thanks for your opinions, the idea was only for getting cooler air into the engine bay not for the cai .Seems like it would just be a waste of time then anyway. And for the school comments ! Im old school not school age. I was building and racing cars 25 + yrs ago, some you prob were still in...

yes mate. but trying to keep it sorta stock looking. otr dyno figures look good at wide open throttle . but small benefit when its mostly street driven keeping low profile these days lol. too many speedy tickets in the past so need to stay under the radar if you know what im saying lmfao. :beer...

Has anyone found a nice looking scoop for the ve ? Only thinking about it to get cold air onto the manifold. Other considerations about this is the obvious dust,dirt,water . But a good filter should help. The walky scoop is the ugliest thing ive ever seen, looks like an alien has landed on the...

If you like them go for it mate. Dont matter what others think. Your car ! Do it how you want it . Ftw ! Haha.

If your towing anything bigger than a 6x4 trailer id invest in the deep pan trans kit. Still waiting for mine to arrive but everyone tells me its the ducks guts for the 6 sp auto.

Thx snowy i hope so. Will get a tune for engine and trans soon as i can afford it. Too many things i want and not enuff $$ . Hmm google bank robber as career oh wait, the banks and govment have beat me to the " robbing innocent people of their savings " damn !

new ****. Just Installed CAI, got it cheap so not a rotofab ...but this is not a high performance street racer. been there done that long ago lol. just cruiser now. Wow I understand what some u guys say about the induction sound . Sound is awesome haha. Pic of some new bling stuff for under...

fyi... $153 usd converts to $183 aus. still will be happy if this fixes the way this spastic transmision works. The 4 speed auto in my vyss was so much better !

Greg at Pace has mailed me back. will send this kit to oz for $153.00 .... ordered and waiting delivery . :beer chug:

Zactly why im cutting the centre section out. love to have an almost invisible slit/opening in bonnet to let cold air in to engine bay ! mebbe im dreaming but see what i can find lol.

Hey pal. i think painted cover looks ok, will be doing what i did on my vy ss and cut the centre section out to show the manifold but yeah it needs to be cleaned. cant justify too much cost for something i wont look at very often lol. Difference between vy/vz cover is early models had a...

Thanks Zerone , just waiting for a reply from pace and will buy and do this mod.

Post pics if you think your wheels look good, cant be arsed googling them. lol . i love my vf ss wheels esp for the price $1200 wheels n tyres.

Good choice mate. I have those on a white ve ss wagon but i reckon they would look good on alto grey too.

Sitting Pretty King springs installed and im very happy with how it sits now just nice , not too low not too high. Ride quality is good although a little bouncier than before. Guess coz i kept the fe2 shocks, might upgrade them later. Not sure if the fe2 were extra heavy duty as i just found...

Hey pal. Will let you know in about a week, got fe2 in ve ss . ssl king springs delivered and will be fitted thursday. will do before and after shots and let you know about comfort. theres a heap of threads on this already if you search a bit.

Hey bud , feel for ya . I know what its like to lose what feels like everything . Just 1 point that hasnt come up. If your insurance knocks you back , do you have to pay for any damage to the other guys car ?

Hi mate . a lot of good info here. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/deep-pan-wide-mouth-v8-a6.223063

Haha cool mate, you have just given my car its name " stormtrooper ". So on that note , removed the grill assembly ' very simple ' to see how hard it is to remove the chrome lips, wow too many jesus clips . Stopped before i break something ! Had a thought , is anyone in melbourne with a plain...

Those coil covers look awesome . Are they only available stateside ? Price ?

Engine bay. This is mine so far, not much but plan to replace all the caps ,power steering res,fuse box lid etc. Hopefully in next couple months will have a Rotofab CAI.

Cosmetic changes Still waiting for my ssl king springs to be delivered ! Hopefully soon. So while waiting i been doing some small cosmetic changes , removed afm,holden badge and series II badges. replaced with a modern holden badge " not trying to make it look like a hsv ". Painted engine cover...

Well said rumple. What everyone should remember is why we are here! We all like modifying our cars to suit our own taste! Imagine how it would be if everyone had the same style/taste ! fcking boring!

and fyi i dont call chevy badge commy owners " wankers" its your car , do what you want. just saying my personal preferance .

Its still a holden badge ! Im guessing you might be a baseball backwards cap wearing low pants show your jocks wannabe yankee ? lmfao.

debadge Looks nice and clean. going to do this today. im with you pirate, no chev badges ! going to replace old holden badge with the hsv one.

Looks great ,nice and clean. whats best way to debadge ?

Can you send me a link where to order this kit ? I want one ! Lol.

Ok soong, wondering why you would want to remove 2nd battery setup? Would like to have this option. Pm me for a price. Assume its a switchover setuplike 4wd have ?

Wtf ? You have speed bumb issues with fe2 susp. ? Fe2 is only 1 step down for ve im pretty sure mate. I hardly need to slow down for bumbs with fe2. Just line em up right. Ssl springs getting delivered next few days so will see how i go then.

Just googled for some info on the caddy pans and found pirate has done this and put up some info on ls1 forums. Not had any probs with my trans yet, just wondering if doing this mod would extend the life of tranny even if only doing normal day to day driving with a bit of spirited stuff...

Excellent write up guys, anyone know what kays the 1st tranny service should be done at ?

Yeah nice mate, thats where these j pipes are from and just noticed they are adjustable.Dont want it too loud but want to hear the v8 that i bought, sounds like a 6 right now! The noise level from my vyss was perfect,had pacemakers,2.5 in system. I leave for work at 4.30 am so a real loud car...

Sounds like a good plan cruell, let me know how it goes . Hardest part is finding a sleeve that fits to do that,im sure an exhaust shop would have a short peice you could use.

And curious to know where the cold air comes from. far as i can see ..feel, the stock intake finishes just close to inner radiator support. is there a way of cutting open a hole there to let fresh air in that i cant see ? not a lot of area to do that , but im all for getting down n nasty with a...

Sounds good pirate. who do you recommend getting the " intake system and EFILive AutoCal remote handheld tuning unit " from ?

Love to know where you got a 3" catback for $595.00 from cruell ? best ive seen is $795 and its diy install !

Also didnt realise it was mafless and needs tune. would love to be in the group buy but if im going to pay $900 + for a tune/computer download i want to have a few other things done so as to only tune it once such as the exhaust mods etc. cheers mate.

ok yeah I get ya mate, looking closer the roto has a nice smooth bend and thats the point. where does it get the cold air from, Ill have to look closer in the engine bay and see where the openings can be enlarged ? did all this on my vy ss with extra holes and pipes to direct air but seems like...
