    Time for some new tyres

    Any one used Dunlop sport max Tyres? I can get a set for $280 fitted but havn't heard much about them Tyre shop said retail is usually around $500 and they rate them. Brad

    Time for some new tyres

    I have Bridgestone potenzas on my ssv and I have been running on the max inflation pressure their whole life and my Tyres are worn on outside edge exactly the same. I don't do burn outs or drive stupid and have got 32,000 out of them with regular balance and wheel alignment. They are a good...

    Oil consumption test

    I'd go to another dealership, just be careful they are just not trying to stretch the warranty out and if the do manage to sill repair it it may not have as long left on warranty to ensure it was fixed properly.. I have heard of them doing this. I might have to go through the same thing...

    VE Commodore International

    Yeh I'll second that, both ssv's I bought had poor wheel alignment, it was out of show room at to tyre place.. Pretty poor by Holden to let cars go brand new without a good alignment.. At least you found the problem..

    Brembos off a redline worthy upgrade?

    I nearly bought one of them, but I don't think they look as good as the one I have, this is steel frame with fiberglass insert. Brad

    Brembos off a redline worthy upgrade?

    They do but where it matches up with front bar the lines will be different (nothing much but) would be better if it has bumper and bonnet, but that's big $$$. Cheaper to buy bonnet. That way it is made to suit SS bar.. If you don't know what I mean look front on at a SS then front on at a hsv...

    Brembos off a redline worthy upgrade?

    I bought the bonnet and got it painted and fitted. Yeh air passes in two scoops at front and out 2 vents at rear. Yeh bit overloaded but it pulled 3 tonne worth of truck and trailer 150kms home, and brakes were great if u were wondering.. Brad

    What? SSV redline rims? IMOP they look awesome on my wagon powder coated dark grey.. Every one has different tastes in these things..

    No they don't, if he said ssv redline then they are what they come out on.. Ssv brakes are smaller

    Worth upgrading Headers & cats on VE SSV?

    Not sure If it was mentioned but if you go hsv cats/ headers will it bring on the check engine light like other cats/ headers do?
  18. brad VE SSV

    Brembos off a redline worthy upgrade?

    19" or bigger definately but not sure of offset as I have the ssv redline mags powder coated so they arnt chrome, but I have heard not all 19's will fit, so maybe someone else will clarify it

    Worth upgrading Headers & cats on VE SSV?

    With what you wrote, did u use the hsv cat as well as headers or just L77 cats with hsv headers.. Cheers brad

    I have a series 2 ssv redline with the brembo's and find the brakes great!! I regularly tow my 1 tonne boat and even with the trailer brakes off the car pulls up awesome, even long windy down hills hard on the brakes there is no smell and doesn't seem to get overly hot.. Doubt standard SS breaks...

    VE stock cats

    Is your car force fed or N/A, Wouldnt the gain be very small and only noticed on a dyno, I can understand if you are running a big cam or turbo/ charger where alot of gas is getting pushed through but Going from pacies to 4/1 and cats would be hardly worth the gain.. For the price you could put...

    Ve sportswagon taillights

    Does any one know why someone hasn't made a after market tail light for the wagon? I noticed even the HSV wagon has the same taillights as an omega, to me if you are spending all that extra money for the HSV it seems a bit strange these didn't get changed. I love the look off the ssv sedan...

    ss series 2 sportswagon manual interstate trip best milage?

    I had a 2010 ssv redline ute which I did 9000kms in it before trading it in for the wagon and it never went below 10's too.. Now the wagon has 22,000kms on it and it's the same economy..

    Yeh that's not too bad.. About what I am going to spend.. The cheaper turbo setups struggle with quality long term as I found.. So much easier going a charger

    Supercharger vs Twin Turbo

    I done ALOT of research on this and wasnt sure which way to go at first. I came to the idea of a supercharger setup as its cheaper and simpilar and more discreet then a turbo. I struggle to spend 15 grand (at least) only to get pulled over and defected coz it stands out. Start...

    Should I trade in my 350km VE Equipe Series II with 6000km SV6 series II?

    Especially when the differences between the equipe and sv6 are so minimal.. I can understand if going to a V8 but to stay with a V6 just mod yours and it WILL save you heaps n be a better car..

    Should I trade in my 350km VE Equipe Series II with 6000km SV6 series II?

    He has quoted can't afford a v8 but can afford to trade in a car that hasn't even burnt a tank of fuel.. Then suggests fuel savings when the above comment is being sarcastic about not being able to afford a v8.. You can't see that? Just the way I read it..

    Should I trade in my 350km VE Equipe Series II with 6000km SV6 series II?

    Change over for what, sounds like u are meaning you'll save fuel going to a V8???

    Should I trade in my 350km VE Equipe Series II with 6000km SV6 series II?

    Before going too far into it by Just talking, go and test drive sv6 and SS and see first hand what u prefer because it is the only way for u to see.. And little/no difference between Brand new and 50,000 kms they are both under warranty still

    Where To Start?

    You honestly won't notice much of a difference with just an exhaust or just a Otr cai.. But collectively with a tune you will. IMOP get it all done in one go, it's not a huge hit of power any way and will be fine for the mrs n kids, as for exhausts.. There is massive amounts of info on these...
  35. brad VE SSV

    looking at this power package upgrade - got some questions

    If you go tri-y style extractors they don't sit as low as the 4 into 1's.. But as you mentioned it's cat back so no need to worry bout how low extractors n cats sit when you have stock ones..

    Traction in the wet

    I have Bridgestone potenzas on my v8 and it barely spins in the wet.. But with traction Controll you wouldnt slip too much anyway, I can go full boot around a corner in the wet and it will not slide much or excessively spin.. Could not see how you'd loose controll
