drop a ls1 in..you know you want to:w00t::thumbsup:

not a big fan if you keep the front bar stock VT, as the vy mirrors are a squarish look and will look funny in contrast with the rest of your car. Just get them colour coded if they are not already.:thumbsup:

might just have to get it diagnosed by holdens and fixed somewhere else:p

check your battery is eathed properly?? could be wrong, just an idea;)

by a Gregory's manual, tis not that hard. What colour is the car??:D

mine was slowly becoming sluggish for a while then all of a sudden the battery died, replaced it and now my car starts fine everytime.:thumbsup:

a smoking clutch does not sound good, what did it smell like? A burning clutch smells different to burning rubber. Make sure you do not ride your foot on the clutch whilst moving in first, this will burn your clucth which will mean you will need to replace it sooner rather then later.;) Do you...

hey just a quick question, im looking at installing cruise myself and was wondering how you went with your installation. Did your car have the wiring harness already their as holdens want to charge $110 just for that! my car is a VT exec:D cheers:thumbsup:

this is what i was thinking of doing, any idea how much just that part cost you??:D

VT series 2 belina or SS..........or...........VZ..personally wouldnt touch the VX or VY. but thats just me:thumbsup: :dance:

as long as you have the same or similar kit all the way around. Having a low front end kit for example will look stupi unless the car has side skits and a rear bar that all sit at similar heights

ive dropped clutches out of cars before just not a commodore, im not to stressed about saving money, more saving time....time is money!:yeah:

i recentley had to replace my idler pulley, the bearing was worn out. A another way to check what pulley's bearing is busted is using a long screwdriver and hold it on the bolt which bolts a pulley on and listen at the other end. The noise of a busted bearing rattles through the screwdriver. The...

I been looking into this for my VT Wagon 98 Exec. 3.8L I was quoted a price of $2750 for the conversion and an extra $550 fitted drive away. I believe if I did this to my car it would be cheaper then sealing it and re-buying a manual wagon. Anyones thoughts? Good price>>:p Ive also been told...

yeah i dont mine them, i once wanted them how ever went for the VT SS 17". alot of people have them though, if you want to stay with commodore rims

sounds like thats the best option :)

just do a 'search' for lowering cars/VT's and im sure another thread like this will pop up.:thumbsup:

the exec's dont have them;)

one word 'ebay'

sorry i just noticed this when reading.:yeah: this guy must have two left feet! :whistling

i think a service for my tranny is well due:thumbsup:

thats what i was going to suggest..eletrical conversion I dont listen to the radio much, so I leave mine down mostley if it does not cost too much, I would also be interested into doing one of these conversions:)

its easy to remove, however ive never realy like the colour coded dash. I intend to keep mine stock:thumbsup:

Thanks for the replies. Yeah i cant help driving it like a manual, i wish i had a manual but the rare manual sixes i saw when looking to buy my wagon we still around 16-17 grand..i bought my auto for 7.5 grand.:thumbsup: The next car i get however will be a manual!!!!:dance: A service...

dont you need the little cups which clip on the inside section of the front bumper? and the lights connect behind them some how. I am going to have this done when I have some cash on day! How much did the lights cost you, are they the original rectangular VTss ones? Does anyone know how...

Yeah the fibreglass one just clips on. I had mine just screwed on underneath, the only thing is the black rim which it now covers is not completely covered at the top. As my car is white, you can see that there is a slight black line inbetween the fibreglass kit and the normal body of the car...

I drive my series one VT wagon around alot using the auto trans gears. eg when accelerating hard and slowing down quickley.:w00t: Is this good for the transmission and should I just drive it as much as possible left in drive??? Ive noticed that recently when im about to go up a hill and i...

yeah i have the same problem, however I couldnt adjust them down either (tried using a pin). I found that they hit the middle of the window at higher speeds...so just make sure you are driving at faster speeds when washing your window.:w00t:

Ive heard that you next to plastic weld ti aswell as glue and screw them on. Or can i get away with glue and screwing them? Any ideas :unsure:

OH yeah whoops. HA you confused me when you said body kit, should be easy to take off bolted down like mistaken said

Yeah its bolted on the underside then silconed on around the rim i believe. IM in the process of putting skirts on, have not started yet but have ordered the parts! :D

Ive just bought some VT SS body skirts and im going to have a go at putting them on myself. Does any one have any pointers or past experiences with doing such things? As i have not done this before is there a some good instructions anyone knows of? :thumbsup:

I on the market for a used commodore wagon, VR-VS spending around $6-8 grand. But as never owned a commodre before im not sure what are/are not good buys. I would prefer a mannual but they are scarce, and with auto ive heard that the biggest problem is with the transmission seal breaking and...
