Turned out very good uni..wouldnt even know it had been repaired...

are the rims and tyres a new addition? if so your tyre height/ profile might be incorrect for a 20 inch rim which should be 245/30/20 ( width, profile, rim size) or even wrong rim offset can bring tyre too close to strut..otherwise something has bent or collapsed after your accident!

Uni..u need some parking sensors m8..haha..used that supercheap paint on my sons pulsar ( metalic blue colour) where he did the same thing as you..they did a good job colour matching it..after i filled, sanded, primer and top coat x 4 it blended in so well i could not see where the new paint met...

I'd keep that transaction quiet from your future spouse until after the wedding...haha...good score though..cars looking extremely clean..

Never had issues with alloy rings on wheels that needed them...the plastic ones just got brittle and broke..a tiny smear of grease around the ring makes it easy to slide off when required.. Don't need them any more as i have gone back to correctly bored out 19 inch vessv black rims...

Looks good m8..Harrop supercharger must give quite a bit more grunt than standard..careful with the monaro bonnets with the nostrils as i know that sometimes they wont clear OTR intakes and might be the same with your supercharger? Nice brakes too..careful here too if you change wheels as many...

Cheers afstruct spent alot of time and effort getting it to where it is today. Yes its my daily drive. The cats clear speed humps since i raised her from super low springs to low springs ( so in between FE2 height and super low) which is perfect now. Also now clears carpark wheel stops which...

Mitshitbishi..

try olsen automotive lonsdale and speak to Daniel Olsen..he should be able to help you

bad battery earth check, clean, secure first and/ or also try disconnecting battery for an hour or bad relays under dash /under steering wheel will click or on bcm which is soldered..try replacing the under dash ones first with new same type.

thats an excellent ride..id keep it as original as possible except for maybe a tad lower only on low springs ( they are about 10-15mm lower than fe2)..the upgrade bug hits though and can be hard to resist...some inside pics would be good...cheers

thanks gaiter...these tyres make the cars handling and ride how its supposed to be..there is a massive difference between the atr sports i used to have and these...you pay twice as much per tyre but its well worth it..reminds me of the yokahamas i used to use many years ago, soft rubber and...

cheers m8..hard to keep black clean but a hell of alot easier than the multi spoke 20ees i had before and you can get in behind the wheel between the fat spokes to clean it and calipers with ease.. makes the old girl look tuff too..

thats a heavy duty tool there Uni...watch your digits!!!

Subbie now will wait until i sell house and find another with big garage at back a few years down the track as no room for an extra car in our driveway right now. So update on car..sold the 20 inch wheels and went back to the ve ssv 19 inch wheels this time in all black..new tyres too with...

3.08 to 3.73 is the best upgrade i did for instant performance gain...not so much going to 3.46 though.

Not much to report here lads...changed out radiator and thermostat as radiator split open, thats it.. Looking at another car (second car - not getting rid of the VX) - looking at a 2012/2013 WRX so can have best of both worlds in regards to power delivery and having the wrx being a turbo and...

Wrong part or incorrectly installed.. Get them to give you a refund if they cant fix it. Go see Daniel at Olsen Automotive Lonsdale. He will do it right the first time.

VX commodore - your only option is PCD 5 x 120. With ET stay around 42 -48 to be safe. Bore size as said above is 69.5mm. If your wheels centre is smaller like VE wheels you will need to get the centre machined to fit a VX. If larger centre bore on the wheel then you need hub centric rings to...

Gday..havent been on here for a while and just happened to see your thread. When i had the thunder rims the tyres were 245/35/19 with no scrubbing even lowered so you should be good to go. Tyres were Achilles sport 2..ok in dry but not great in the wet for my liking.. The rims were predrilled...

Always liked this model especially in the cherry black or just black..looks very tidy for its age..nice score m8.. If I had the room I'd source one also ..maybe one day.. Diff gear change to 3.73 would wake it up a fair bit..

give the vin to Holden and they would confirm...maybe original seats were shagged out and got replaced with standard exec seats..

Not much happening...car hasn't missed a beat...nothing ever breaks on this thing....touch wood.. Had the rear guards rolled..good job..no damage or paint cracking etc..found that with 3 hefty people in the rear and with the newish wheels being a bit wider it would slightly touch the guard going...

Just a side note..had a new key programmed last week by a mobile locksmith and it wouldn't work..we were stumped as to why it wouldn't unlock, lock or open the boot..after much frustration and reprogramming attempts, the reason was that my wife's Bluetooth hands free in her car that was on at...

Thanks Uni...your like an eBay Wikipedia for car parts..

With 7 G you should be able to get a cam upgrade including all the associated parts ( lifters, springs , bolts etc etc) should be somewhere around $3,500 to $4000 Inc labour or so depending on how many assoc. parts you replace to do a proper job. The full exhaust and otr plus tune will chew up...

Door Edge Moulds Not bad as can't really see it on a black car..Do they come in white? Would not use chrome..looks tacky.. How's the broken English in the eBay add...hahahaha

I had an xforce cat back on the car for only one day..I removed it cos the droning was intolerable. Got a custom made 2.5 twin system made with pacemakers and the difference in sound and quality was miles ahead of the x farce..

I was advised that some vx paints don't have a clear coat such as white. So if it's white you don't have a problem.

Any plans for it? That front guard looks nasty!

If I had my time again I'd do diff gear change first for best bang for buck performance upgrade then the exhaust , otr and tune.. ( 3.7 gears for auto is good all round for highway/ city and 3.9 or 4.11 for manual..) Changing diff gears really Wakes the car up ..

A lot of rooting around where there needn't have been if they got the order right the first time...at least you got a refund but it still should have just bolted up without mucking around in first place. Glad it sounds good ( might change though when you bolt on the longer tail piece and add the...

Bit of fixing up and will be good for the $$$$$. Like the wheels.

That's crap service...id name and shame...even my crappy xforce cat back (that I removed the same day because it droned like hell) bolted straight up at least.. In the end I got mine custom fabricated to suit with no issues..hope you get it sorted m8.

Like EYY said, could be pinging..has it been tuned to run only on 98ron and someone has used lower octane fuel? Try adding a bottle of good quality octane booster and see if it fixes the rattle..at least it's cheap to try it..

Yeah, thanks, forgot to mention that it was for safety reasons..like brakes, lpg leak etc..

Tried to search for this answer but no go. How long is a vehicle manufacturer recall valid for ( in general for all cars) And if a recall has not been carried out on a used car, can you still get it done at no cost by the relevant manufacturer/ dealer.. Thanks..

Run a scan tool first for any codes. Has the car had tune where it's been tuned to run only on 98 Ron ? If so running it on anything less will cause it to mis or ping under load..( pinging noise sounds like a tin can with marbles rattling in it)..
