    [BNE] Mercury motorsports and east coast customs

    I paid around 6.5-7k for otr, cam, full exhaust. Tune might also be in this price. I got other work done at the same time so not 100% sure on pricing and it was a while ago now. Engine is L98 so can't comment on dod kit. I would drop in or give them a call. Great people to deal with. I went...

    Mine went it to Powertorque as well. Would recommend them.

    Cabin Filter VE

    I took the mesh out and threw it. No idea if I was meant to keep it or not. I removed the mesh by pulling one of the corners away (maybe with long nose pliers, can't remember) then dragged it up and out since there was crap sitting on it still.

    Genuine forged Holden 19" VF SSV Redline wheels

    http://i.imgur.com/r9Swog6.jpg?1 VF Redline wheels with CTS-V 4 piston calipers. This is the clearance on the front. Rears have more.

    Rear brembo calipers

    Yes. Mine are extremely loud braking below 40km/h. Not sure why, I've changed pads to HPX because I thought that was the problem but still noisy.

    Changing exhaust from X-Force to stock

    Hey all, On my Omega i have a 2.5" X-Force catback exhaust fitted. I'm no longer after the noise of an exhaust in the car and want to quieten it down. Could this be done by just changing both mufflers to stock SS ones? Or would I need the catback part of the SS one? Is there another easy...

    Brake Upgrade

    I did mine a while ago now. Check out my thread which has alot of info from others. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/brake-upgrade-kits.246042 I don't think those wheels will clear either. I got VF Redline wheels that just clear 4 piston Brembo's. VF Redlines have: SSV...

    2007 ve v6 auto flash tuned by oztrack

    A tune will top it all off. I did a catback 2 1/4 exhaust, CAI OTR then after a while added the tune to it in my Omega. It may not have added a great deal of power but definitely helped my torque/acceleration and felt faster.

    Wanting to change VE tail lights to aftermarket.

    This. It will probably have double sided tape or whatever (mine did) to hold it there in addition to the screws so might have to apply some pressure to get it to pop out.

    Computer build advice

    I would hold fire until something goes wrong. I would be looking at new mobo/CPU and ram (and a nice SSD if you don't have already) when things start going haywire. If you are ok with not having the latest and best then no need to as I see it.

    Not all Calais' came with the FE2. Some came with LSD and FE2, others had open diff and FE1.5 I believe.

    Brake upgrade kits

    In a couple weeks I will post up fronts and rears.
  14. M

    Brake upgrade kits

    Yeah that's what I believe. Redline's have the 4 piston Brembo fronts so their wheels will obviously clear coming from factory.

    Brake upgrade kits

    Yeah that's what I'm seeing. I'm thinking black on black with the new wheels. All the silver inside the wheels will hopefully even out the colours.

    Brake upgrade kits

    As I was half expecting, the brakes don't clear my wheels so now to buy new ones. I'm thinking the VF SSV Redline wheels. They look pretty good and from the pics I've seen they will clear.

    Brake upgrade kits

    So I've finally recieved all the parts I should need for now. 4 piston CTS-V front and rear calipers, DBA slotted rotors, Safebrake lines. Gonna take a wheel off and see if I can find out how the caliper sits with my current wheels. Don't think they will fit the fronts but the rears should be...

    I'm tempted to just get the brakes and hope they will fit. If they don't then look for new wheels.

    Looking real nice! Figure I will have to use ebay to get a better deal but should save enough on rotors and calipers to spend it on the lines.

    I was umming and ahhing about braided lines but you people have won me over. I don't want to half arse it only to regret it later on. I'll keep an eye on the rotors Snow linked as they came to around $950. There's a shop I was going to price up the engine mods I want done so might see if they...

    It would come out around the same price as RDA then, I would rather DBA over them though. These the ones you are talking about?

    Brake upgrade kits

    Yeah I found those on their website and am thinking the deal in the first seems like it might be a go'er. Probably go for what they offer for slotted and drilled rotors.

    Brake upgrade kits

    I got 20 inch aftermarket wheels on it already, cant remember the offset though can't imagine they would be a problem if I stick with 4 piston calipers. I'm not confident enough to do the work myself so will get my mechanic to do it next service. I found a kit from Empire Performance that...

    I'm looking at upgrading my brake calipers, pads and rotors on my Calais in the near future and I am wondering what deals there are out there. Currently thinking of going 4 piston front and rear calipers with some slotted rotors. For the most part its a daily driver with maybe the odd track day...

    Holden Calais MY09.5 Headlight upgrade

    Bought Phillips WhiteVision from Supercheap less than a week ago and they had a rack of different Phillips types. They definitely sell Phillips. That said, I couldn't tell you if they had the Xenon range (wasn't looking at them).

    Help finding a part.

    Basically I need a new one of the rubber things between the intake and engine, a rubber bellow if my searching is right. Anyone know what the size on either end would be? I'm assuming supercheap or one of them would stock this sort of thing. EDIT: Nevermind. I got onto the guys who made it...

    Mace VE V6 Tune Review

    Thanks for that. Got it yesterday and am going to do it on the weekend but is there some instructions or am I right to plug it into my laptop and car and it will do the rest (apart from emailing). EDIT: don't worry. All sorted.

    Mace VE V6 Tune Review

    Sent an email with a few followup questions before buying but haven't heard back from them since sending it a couple days ago but hopefully someone here can help me.

    disconnecting the battery

    Yeah I'm not worried about the clock and radio stations. Do you take the negative off first? That's the general consensus of what I've read so far.
