Nah my money is on the aircon actuator.... mine needed replacement after about 12 months. Common problem apparantly :/

Also I believe 3-4 ks/hr to be normal as long as it's over stating your speed. New car manufacturers can not let a speedo understate (say you are going slower than you really are) so they put an error into the calibration to say you are going quicker than you really are. My car says 63kmh when...

Been done to death (self included :D ) but they do look good on a hazard VE Also , if you don't have big brakes or want to get them, Bob Jane has a neat spokey type wheel promoting some racing series at the moment , I would have gone them but they don't clear big brakes :/

I have sssl's on the rear of my ute and last week had a set of 20 x 10 KMC Rockstars fitted. Place who fit them didn't roll the guards but instead used a grinder with a flapper disc to remove about 5mm of the lip. Reason he did that instead of rolling them is that they have had bad experiences...

No probs :) .... was directed at someone else though B)

And the wheels keep the whole lot off the ground!

pfffhhhhttttt ..... keys and buttons are so mainstream.... I'm going to put a crank handle on the front of mine :p

I didn't think utes came with spares? hmmm.... anyway , unless it fell perfectly flat and didn't hit anything on the way out, you would have most definitely heard/felt it... imagine it falling on an angle with the leading edge of the tire hitting the ground first >.< ... bongo drums anybody :O

Best way for me to see the rear blind spot is to use my rear view mirror on the windscreen, just lean a lot closer to it and you can see pretty much everything. Kinda hard to explain but yeah , lean close as you can and to the right a little and you can see the spot on the drivers side easily...

Heh , back in the 70's I could always tell how many years my old man had owned his cars for by the amount of stickers along the top of the screen :)

Not sure I'd be talking about my mum like that 0_o

There's two rules I hold near and dear to something being classed as a sport and both must be met with a yes. 1: Do you need to practice it? 2: Do you need to train at a gym to improve on it? What the op has shown is a big fat yes for both....... To the people saying it's just jumping on a...

Just out of curiosity, people saying it affects the cruise control? How would it do this , I thought the cruise control would simply look at pulses from the speedo unit and then maintain whatever speed you dialed it in at?

Wow, your mates are champions :D

hmmmm 39 huh...1 year past the lowest possible age for a 19 yr old to get his boiler ticket :p .... never got mine and at 41 I sure as to hell ain't going looking for it :S

I hates stickers.... and get off my lawn while you're at it!

I've met some real fruit loops off dating sites , to the point I'm not looking anymore on them , and whatever happens...happens. Most don't get past the msn chat routine... me: are you a holden or ford girl (just to make small talk, dont give a **** either way) her: I don't own a car me: how...

"No you may not touch the car"

I agree, as long as you don't put a HSV badge or Maloo sticker anywhere near it :) I believe this has already been done , GXP? hehe

+1 for gloss black, I'll be lookin a set up if available

That Camaro front end is hot , actually looks like it was meant to go on the Commodore. Always thought the Pontiac front end was just an over exagerated uglified/americanised version of the standard unit. Different does not always mean better.... (IMHO) :)

hsv_r8, they look real good on yours :) , what did you end up doing with your originals? I toyed with the idea of getting the dealer to put the originals back on but the more I saw them the more I didn't like them and prefered the sabres.

Not the best pic but only one I really have... need to take more :/ Took this a few days before I picked it up a few months ago while it was out the front of the dealers.

Yup, my redline came fitted with them from the dealer , definitly clear the Brembos on this model anyway. Toyed with the idea of getting them powder coated black but I think I'll leave em for now... I prefer to refer to them as 'wagon wheels' though :)

Maybe try getting a screen protector for an iPad and cutting to size (try the cheapest you can get first) this may make easier to read. Be very careful cleaning any touch screens with any type of cleaner as it can damage the touch part further and rend it inoperable. I killed my daughters...

If you really want to then evoke but blended in , If it was me I'd get another bonnet though and change them as your mood desired. How do the blended in ones go with regards to cracking nowadays? Back in the day a fiberglass/plastic scoop/flare/wing would always crack without fail....

Any chance of a pic side on from about door handle height and or lower? Getting mine lowered soon and was going to go ssl front and sssl rear (advice from suspension place) but not sure on the sssl rears because of driveway etc...

Lol , it doesn't matter what is done to a commodore, basically they are all just riced up Omegas/Exec's.... it's just to what degree it has been taken. It's like the good ole days when guys (chicks drove geminis back then :P) tried to pick up statesman and prem front ends for their...

A piece of blue gaffer tape would look better than any of those stickers :p .... but that's just me Seriously though , Get a mat that you would use at the gym (or any thick dense foam kinda thing) for stretching etc, cut a relief for the boot lock mechanism and let it hang out over your rear...

Yeah I went looking for second hand utes one day, started at the ford dealer looking at a xr6 with 8000k on the clock, new one was ~3k more , started looking at new ones. Long story short , went into Holden dealer to look at sv6's new, ended up driving out in in the car that's in my 'ride' up in...

Leather seats and rear parking camera (for sedan but not ute) are another 2 things in the redline afaik. As far as Stereo goes, yeah it's ok for 'listening' to music but there is sfa down low, volume has to be up a fair bit to get any bass out of it. I dearly want to disconnect the center...

Just got my redline ute last week but haven't had that problem but when the digital speedo is reading 60 the analogue reads about 3-4 kph higher.
