As its been said, Just start and drive normal...Remember its not just the engine that needs warming up, Trans, Engine, Diff, tyres, and other crap......

Hmm I am not a fan of it.......

What did it cost you all up Foggsy?

Hey when you pick up your new wheels see if you can get them to spin all 4 up to check for warping...Yeah they are new i know but it does happen...

I use semi synth purely because my goto guy was telling me it is much better than the fully synth, Something to do with it wears out cam lobs quicker..... If you can use semi synth, Holden will prolly just use recycled oil...hahahaha

I have Tein coil overs on mine and ive never looked back, fully adjustable and well worth it....For memory it was around $1650.00 fitted...

I don't get why you want to DE-Badge your car....If it had a Chevy badge on there would this post still even exist?

My rant, why do people put a bow tie badge on the SV6 and have quad exhaust ?...... Why cant they be proud to leave the dinner plate holden badge on the car...? I had some assclown in a SV6 chev badge try take me from the lights so im thinking its just a wanna be syndrome ....

I like others here changed from 2.92 single spinner to a 3.45 LSD, Used to sit @ around the 1700 rpm now sits at 1900ish @ 100kmph, if you do it you will have a big smile on your face after launching from the lights.... Only thing you will have to do is get the speedo re-set which is easy...

Do yourself a favor and get rid of that turtle cover....Its keeping your fuel warm....

Well i am going off the figures that i have on the sheet, If you like Grennan, ill say i lied and got 122 rwkw if that makes you happy...

WTF Is a Disney Dyno?

Id say more than 310rwkw, my engine is stock and making 275rwkw with only otr and exhaust

I think its a good idea to have two filters IMO, just means you can take your time to wash and dry it properly ...I just had VCM OTR fitted to my car and well worth the coin...slight induction noise and alot sharper response with the throttle .... its a bullet off the line.. Making good power...

It does suck big time Jim, with the mild steel ones they should at least put some kind of coating on the inside of the system to stop it from rusting....i never had any fitting issues with my....

Thanks guys...i think after this ill go after market cats, or just replace with a different system altogether because the rear mufflers are starting to rust where the welds are too. The exhaust joint said he has replaced heaps of these mufflers for this reason, they rust and fall off...lol

Hello too all.... Just wanted to know why the right cat has completely melted and the left cat is fine....Full xforce system and 3 years old approx.... on a VE V8 obviously.... Left hand side of engine has a manifold leak which is getting fixed this week along with x2 new hiflow cats...

Youll be right mate, Absolutely nothing wrong with xforce, i got it and no complants with droning etc etc...

SSext-1, once you have the full system on it will sound something like this..........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DNWnhJuc64 FYI this is my beast...

IMO Raise the car 15mm then put 22inch rims on to give it that visual affect of looking lower than it is....If you dont want to buy bigger rims and tyres just raise it...simples..reow

I have no idea what the difference is between the projector headlights and the reflector ones...Did the 07 VE Calais V come with them as standard?...Just so i know what the diff is.. Cheers.............

Yep i agree 07GTS, but i had to ask the question to know the guts of it and what others opinions were, After all thats what forums are all about...:beer chug:

Nice upgrade clubby...:smoking:

That would of been off the chains on take off....

Ok cheers guys, Going to leave it stock as later on i plan to install twin turbo OR a blower...For now will just drive it like its stolen..:cool:

Well now that has just thrown a spanner in the works.....:-/ Maybe i need to wait a bit and gather every single bit of info on this...0 to 100 would surely be quicker with 3:45 LSD set up than standard 2:92....Surely..... In regards to the shift times ive had all the gear changes sharpened up...

IMO....Nope, Leave it Standard Its a shame you dont like the V8s...Its a 3.2 V6 and i dont think the "big Boys" will be too concerned even if you did put a blower on... Each to there own i guess but id save ya coin..:beer chug:

Hi Sanchez, ive just been here, done that, and brought a t-shirt.... Christmas just gone i got new battery installed @ battery world, They checked the alternator and was ok...Drove from Melb to Albury to Canberra to Batemans Bay then back through omeo and Lakes Entrance to home...Car sat for 3...

Thanks Foggsy and everyone else for your valued input...3.45 seems to be the sweet spot here..think its time to start getting quotes on all this... I may need to increase tyre width too, 245/45 R18 are on there at the moment.would 265 or 255 fit in there?....

Sweet Mary Mother Of Josef, 2.92! No wonder they take a bit to get going...Cool as bro..I was told even with 3.7s in @100kmph it will sit on around 2100 -2200rpm... As far as fuel consumption goes well i dont really care but kinda steering towards 3.25 at this stage...My old VN went from...

Bummer man, Hope it all works out for you and not much coin involved :thumbsup:

Thanks Snow, Sounds like a plan, PIR4TE it is an auto, i dont think the Calias V come in a manual but i could be wrong.. And last of all Prenty, Cheers for your thoughts mate,However after increasing the ratio you place LESS pressure on drive train or so i was told by someone in the know, 3.25...

Arvo all, Looking seriously at replacing diff gears in my 6 speed V8, Now im thinking 3.7 ratio Thoughts please.... Cheers in Advance

That sux big time man... Get some quotes from Paint shop before the rust sets in....

Sounds ok man, check this one out too for those who are looking at systems...This is mine http://youtu.be/6DNWnhJuc64

I rang around and got a price of $390.00 and that includes a full flush of the system. Will be going to them next time.

Thanks guys for your replies. It was a spear of the moment thing and did not shop around. My fault I know. I watched them do it all. Drop oil, pan, and filter and just replace filter and bolt up pan and fill up again. I tried to negotiate price but he said the oil was fully synthetic and was...

I think he seen me coming when the transmission place charged me $550.00 for a service to a 07 ve v8. 6 speed auto. Does this figure sound about right??????

Bog stock headers unclear on meow meows

Just a quick question, How accurate is this display in the pick ive shown????....Do you guys use this method of finding out the temp so you can add or check trans sump levels at between 30 and 40 degrees or do you do it another way...? Cheers in advance... Steve
