Keen to read your thoughts after the test drive. From what I’ve read though the hybrid is worth the extra over the base 2.5.

Funny you say that and I can’t believe I’m going to say this, I think the Camry is going to be a far better buyer option than the Commodore. Good engine choices (V6 and Hybrid), Lexus looks, good spec and decent pricing. I even think I could own a Camry SX V6.

Good write up. So what model/spec did you buy (still getting my head around these)? Edit—> looking at the pic I’m guessing it’s the Calais V V6. For the cost of this thing the issues you’ve already identified (rattles etc) are very dissapointing.

No problems, thanks Simmo.

I’ve got a set of VF2 flanged BiModal Sedan mufflers and a module to drive them from the Corvette Forum design. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-tech-performance/3643906-npp-reverse-engineered-full-open-close-non-factory-npp-retrofit.html I’ve sold my car now, I’ve not tested the above...

Thanks Poor Old Dad, they’re now sold mate.

If anyone is interested I’ve got two of these mirrors surplus to my needs.

Here's my thread on the exact same thing 2 weeks ago https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/service-steering-soon.267604/

There’s bolts across the top and the bottom, as mentioned in the guides around the place, remove the trim piece above the glovebox and the bolts will be visible on top. Bottom one can be accessed as is.

Some discs can be. If aggressive pads are used like the genuine ones the rotors will wear comparatively quickly. Without knowing the OPs driving style it’s hard to judge if 30,000kms is reasonable. 4mm is getting down there though. As to the quote, for info the trade on the front pads alone is...

Update to this, dropped my car into Holden this morning and it’s a replacement rack for me. Fortunately as my car is now out of warranty it’s being done as goodwill for free.

Nope, heard the dings from the dash and had zero power assistance, I was going through an 80km/h roundabout too. Steering is damn heavy when it shuts down.

The ADR speedo tolerance used to be (may still be) +10% -0%

GPS, pretty standard, original wheels were the same 4km out.

I watched that this morning and came here to post it too.. Was pretty moving and made me angry and sad at the same time. Look at what we’ve all lost.. I even wrote to Elon Musk 18 months ago to suggest he takes over the Holden factory to build Teslas as he did the Toyota factory in...

Shouldn’t be but they are all the time if the media is any indication.

Yes, mine is still reading 4km/h high at 100km/h after swapping redline wheels on.

Driving home from work Friday I had the message “Service Steering Soon” and I lost all power assist to the steering, doing 100km/h at the time, threw the car in neutral turned it off and back on and all was good again. Is this the infamous known steering issue with the VFs? Mines out of warranty...

Unfortunately the cause was bigger than just the governments inaction.

It’s a travesty. I’m speechless, feel like I’ve lost something in my life. The many Australian built new car lead ups including media rumours, sneak peeks, media releases etc that I’ve enjoyed through life are no more. How I loved “being involved” in the next new Aussie built car, whether it...

The police brake setup is the larger rotor and larger single pot calipers that was an option from the factory for about $500.

T3 is how I’d go with decent pads. Will look better but I’d be surprised if you see a lot of improvement. My stock brakes were pretty good for street use to be honest, my Brembos were an improvement but really were an aesthetic mod.

It’s because pressing the accelerator means you want the car to move, accidentally pushing down the park brake (maybe by a child) does not.

It’s a documented feature but the owners manual recommends you still release it manually.

The large spoiler has different springs and also struts

My V8 doesn’t drive off in second.

Another trick with the Tasca website is if you fill your cart and enter your PayPal address, go to PayPal and then close it without confirming the purchase, Tasca will send you a 5% discount voucher to complete the purchase. I found out when I went to PayPal, saw the shipping estimate and...

So basically for what I paid at Holden for 4 bolts you got 24. Crazy really.

No, the struts and lines move with the steering, no stretch at all.

What did shipping end up costing you, they wanted $70 when I checked out a few items.

Yes, but mine touched the bolt head so I wrapped them in plastic spiral wrap.

That posted a few times. Hope the forum gets fixed soon. Can you clarify what engine you’ve got?

Still bad, really slow and lots of double posts.

Is there an issue with the forum and double (triple) posts, I’ve seen several lately and now I’ve got them.

30 ft/lb plus 90 degrees off the top of my head.

That’s what his already done.

Does anyone know exactly what the VF2 BiModal mufflers need to work? What exactly is the specs of the PWM signal they are expecting to cycle open and closed?

Yep, was an excellent read.
