Cheers guys, yeah, Gumtree is great from what i've seen, but most ads for parts are from wrecking yards anyway, there are a few that are guys doing their own dismantles tho. Yeah, that was my thinking too Acarmody, thanks. thought there might be a seat specialist in Sydney somewhere that would...

Hey guys, I'm up for rego and just broke my drivers seat in 2 spots, I'm thinking of replacing the seat completely, aside from wreckers, does anyone know anywhere that has SS or higher trim seats for sale (and is there anywhere that will fit the swap for me?) I can do the work, but need it...

I've had a miss only at idle for 12 months on my '05 its ever so slightly getting worse, but nowhere near undriveable. Changed the plugs cos that was easy, and it went away for a little bit, thought maybe coil pack, it was due for a service so I put it into holden to check it out at the same...

changed plugs, ran magic for a 15 min run to the shops n back, and then a 40min journey to the city. on the way home from the city(after watching a movie) the miss crept back whist sitting at a set of lights, it seems smaller now, but more regular rather than the erratic/staccato that it was...

ok, thx vtman

some other parts would also have to go with the panels, bonnet garnishes etc as they clip into the panel parts. lights etc, then the wiring for those parts (lights/mirrors etc) I would imagine. depends on what you keep and what u change too.

Anyone know what Holden usually use? (I realise may vary from dealer to dealer depending on who theyre in bed with)

hahaha, this thread reminded me of putting cheats into video games at the right screen/time or the cheat wouldnt work. very informative tho, please dont think I was trying to make light of the dash problem experienced or the level to which the question was answered, but rather that it was also...

If it was me, I'd probably just keep it off until I wanted to sell it, then clip one over the scratches/dings.

whilst manifold is up/off, and going to replace plugs, is it worthwhile changing coils anything while I'm there? dont want to put the manifold back on after doing plugs only to pull off again when it doesnt fix my problem.

Battery is brand new a month ago (end of a long life). key fob? is fairly new also, approx 12 months ago, and I have 2 different keyfobs and it does it with both used.(what is your line of thought here?) going to check plugs and leads today. it is due for a service on monday, but just trying to...

Hi guys, I have had a small miss in firing at idle. It has slowly gotten worse over the past 6 months to the point where it shakes and I think its going to stall when I pull up at lights. Where would I start to diagnose? Spark plugs/leads? there are no visible leaks anywhere around...

best of the HSV's from what ive seen so far. this should be the base clubby then beefier GTS the spoiler on the boot is so much nicer than the others its not funny. and the maloo R8 should be beefy like the GTS, not like the clubbies. still, lets see how they look once they get series 2/3 etc.

love the interior, and that the grille is open, (not like the maloo/clubby.)

interior looks mint tail lights look way better than the holden ones. that rear spoiler tho, not liking that at all. must say, absolutely love the new range of wheels. (I always love the new wheels when they come out tho.)

Cool, great to see something different here. Im sure these will grow on a lot of people. I hope they sell heaps of em. Styling issues aside, these things will be rockets out of the box.

lol, not chrome covers. but the fact that there are aftermarket mirrors for the VE that have the led indicators built in, they dont make a VZ version, considering there are no VZ's that I have seen running around with LED indicators in the mirrors, I thought it would be a pretty trick little...

Didnt they already come out and say that the "driving light clusters" were being dropped in favour of a bigger air dam/dams??? I think this is just another artist impression.

wow, all this debate seems to make Gen-F into Gen-F.U. ;) Love the fact that HSV raises the bar continually with what they do. It might be a slight power gain between series or like this a whole engine different. Despite cost, their customers continually will come back and be happy with what...

Good to hear how something that has been driven for so long and hard stand up and what to expect should I decide to keep mine. When you say "gone through a couple of engine mounts" how do they fix that?

Rear lights help take the focus of the less flattering scallops.

That would be a dream, drifting round Nurburgring in a beefy ute. Closest thing we've got is Bathurst!

This is true as, brothers mate looked up details when he was first mentor partnered up at his 1st post, he had something done against himself and his missus that was pretty low, he had some details so rather than do it and get busted, he asked his mentor what he should do about it, his mentor...

I'm all for protecting your investment, but this (and car bra's) dont seem worth it, unless you like the look. It doesnt look bad, just not my think aesthetically, unless of course, you can attach a bottom lip to the sports armour, and then screw to the car, so that its like an extension of the...

I remember seeing a (I think Street Machine, but couldve been Street commodores or something.) That had taken funnels and attached wide ducting hoses to focus air flow from the front dams to the brake rotors for use at track days. that seems to me a better idea than the pod filter. Is a mod...

You could do black on black with the big rims and neon/led light under so that it shows off the wheels and gives you a higlight colour. some of the led style lights you can actually change colours with. so change the highlight based on your mood, do the same to the interior. oh, and lower for...

I do agree with cost of petrol being the last thing people should be worried about with day to day driving. tho, friday morning when you have had the alarm go off on the way home the night b4 and u jump on the freeway and it says 0L left on trip comp, you start to go... shi -it do I NEED to pull...

I think im gonna have to read the books, the wait of each episode is epic anxiety! lol such a big world with so many good characters that your favs only get 1 5 min scene every 2 episodes, everyone needs to get closer and have more battles n **** together so we dont have to jump around so much...

TinSnips :that would be great (not really into copying ideas, but havent seen anyone here that had done it and I love the style of older utes that have had bling grilles and statesman bonnets etc and would like to translate that sort of look to the VE/Maloo look), and im thinkin while being a...

has it stopped losing coolant after the cap fix? I know when I bought mine and had a coolant leak it took 3 different mechanics and approx 3-4 K later to finally have it not leaking anymore. There were more than 1 small leaks. so replaced almost every part along the water side of things...

Like the tassie tiger number plate, why dont our states have more decorative style plates, heck, nsw has a shizzload, but nothin that looks like that tassie one!

Love the "cold air intake" pic! Karma is a pretty nice colour.

get the whole bar done with it and blacked out then Get an old school SS badge (like the HDT style SS logo's) and put the upercharged on the end in the highlighted colour of your choice, reckon that'd look sweet. (if not, maybe spray a black WP logo on, still do the bottom bar with the mesh and...

A battle of stupidity/ignorance that will outlast time itself!

Hi guys, Anyone done this at all? Would be keen if I secure a ute on my next ride to give it a go. (had the bumper etc off on my VZ quite a bit and willing to possibly undertake more work of this nature on my next ride.) Also love the beefy look of the grange but dont want a sedan...

I think the link is wrong here. have noticed this on mine sometimes too and always wondered as it seemed a strange change of airflow.(and one I didnt necessarily want)

So (forgive the noobish-ness on my behalf) What would be the main differences from using a jack or say car ramps? (apart from the fact that you can operate on the wheels/areas if on a jack/stands.

I think that they are secretly hoping the sales of the VF will be down to justify a shift to the mid size market, nothing else could possibly explain the look of this model made of recycled epica parts and flim-flam.

Yeah, what about the tail? I dislike the rear end on the sedan(those lights.) but still keen to see what they've come up on the rear end of the packhorse. You know, look at a SSV and say a Maloo and the lights/rear ends look noticeably different.

Howd it go on the 1/4 Bundy? Have you got a thread on your car/build. with having so many things done to your ride I'm sure a lot of people follow with interest or get ideas for things from that. Any way you could put it up and maybe a list of people you would go to again, and who you would avoid?
