A road user can only change lanes, open their door, alight from their vehicle etc etc when it's safe to do so. If a bike is filtering and a car hits them, the driver is at fault because they have changed lanes (even partially) when it hasn't been safe to do so or they have failed to give way...

Have a read of this and let me know what you think. Motorcycle lane filtering to be legalised in NSW to reduce traffic congestion, says Roads Minister Duncan Gay - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Here's the content of the link: Motorcycle lane filtering to be legalised...

Hey man, I saw that you had some seat covers from Proseat installed and that they send you the install instructions. I'm considering getting some Proseat covers but can't find out how they are attatched. I know they don't use straps and ties and I was hoping you may be able to email me the...

I reckon you need headers to get any kind of decent sound out of an alloytech...almost every combination I've heard sound like crap without them.

UPDATE: After a wheel alignment, the ESP fault has vanished and hasn't come back for weeks. The front wheels were 24mm out of whack and the steering wheel wasn't lined up properly when the new tyres/wheels were fitted by the tyre place who fitted them...so that seems to have solved the problem.

If you have headers they will be a different design and most likely, colour than the factory headers. You can get under the car and measure the width of your exhaust. Roll into an exhaust joint, get them to put it up on a hoist and they can tell you what's factory and what's not...they'll do it...

Don't take this personally Atomic but to my ears that sounds rank. The mic on the camera breaking up doesn't help either. No doubt it sounds much better under driving conditions though, which is what really matters. You should maybe post an in-car clip or a drive-by clip if you have one. Like...

The service I had the other day came up with no faults on the tech2. But the car is lowered and on 20's...and it's been retuned so there're several potential reasons for the ESP fault to come up. Buggered if I know what it is and the mechanic hasn't got a code to clear so I don't know what the...

I agree with ^ I had my last install done at my local autobarn and they did a great job...$300 to install a pair of amps, all the wiring, an iPod adapter ect and tuned everything really well. I could have done it myself but to be honest I couldn't spare the time and really couldn't be bothered...

My 2010 VE does this as well...it's going in for a 45,000 service tomorrow so I'll see what they say. I'll get them to clear the code and hopefully it won't come back. On stinking hot days I sometimes have the aircon running pretty hard for a long time, the thermo fans would both be on for ages...

Why not just post the link all that came from? Auto Exhaust Science

Wow. You're overthinking this I think Sherlock 'Don't call me Johnny' Holmes! I emailed them the other day actually. I don't necessarily maintain an iron clad chronology of my forum posts champ. ;) Why would I keep a reciept for an item I bought several months ago? I buy lots of stuff. I...

If that were true then all the plastic inside a car would warp and melt...which it obviously doesn't. The quality of ABS plastic SS Inductions uses in their gauge binnacles is inferior, otherwise it would stand up to normal summer heat like all the other plastic components inside the car. And...

Yeah, via email and on their FB page. Nothing.

DISCLAIMER: I know there are rules about not slagging of a company or product on this forum, but this isn't a whinge or slanderous mud slinging. It's a statement about the performance (or in the this case, the lack of) of the VE gauge binnacle manufactured and sold by SS Inductions and how it...

Finally found some rims that I like. With a set of Falken tyres, they stick like **** to a blanket too :) I likes 'em!

They are 8.5 inches all round. That way I can rotate and get plenty more life out of them. The rim is pretty flush with the tyre and doesn't stick out...although like most aftermarket wheels sloppy parking will end up in some serious gutter rash.

Here ya go :)

Yeah, ummmm...righto. I was actually making a joke (of sorts) and was referring to when Superman flew around the Earth really fast to make time go backwards so Louis Lane wouldn't be crushed in her car after Lex Luthor fired a missile into the San Andreas fault and...oh forget it! Imagine a...

Or maybe, "...I'm tryin' to make time go backwards with the power of VTEC. Y'know, like what Supra man did in that fillum?" Cops would beat someone silly if they tried that on I reckon!

They're PT722...which retail for anything from about $450 to $220 apiece depending on where you buy 'em. Haven't got big brakes Dr HaxZaw, but the slotted and drilled rotors deserve some exposure I reckon. :) Have to paint the rotor guards in silver VHT now...they look all rusty and quite...

I love how cops are required to ask if you, "have any reason for exceedig the posted speed limit"? I mean, there isn't an answer you can give where they'll say, "Actually mate...that's an excellent reason. Alrighty then, off you go." I've always wondered why they are required to ask at all.

Aaaaggghhh! Forgot the pics!

These are going cheap atm and are being sold as a package with 4 average quality tyres (can't even remember the brand to be honest) fitted, balanced with lock nuts and one of those Bob Jane buckets with cleaning stuff in 'em a a promo-type thing...all for $1599. That's option one. Option...

This may have been mentioned already, but simply ask them, "Am I under arrest or am I free to go?". They have to either arrest you or let you go, once they've finished searching the car they have no reason to keep wasting your time unless they arrest you. This work when you're a...

Leap out the car and run while screaming, "No bastard copper's takin' me alive!" Always works for me ;)

Sorry man, I should have paid more attention..:) cheers for clearing that up. MACE cams are around $1500 eh? Hmmm...how much to get them fitted would you reckon? That's a pretty reasonable price for a set of four lumpy cams. I wonder what the kw/hp increase at the wheels would be? A bloke called...

Are the CPR6 manifolds just for non-SIDI Alloytecs? Ahh bugger...that's not what I wanted to hear. I assume clearance is an issue? :( The MACE cams are $2500 you say? Sheesh that's pricey...although there are four, which would ramp up the cost considerably. Y'know, it's times like these...

Just get a bottle of that adhesive remover stuff...they sell it in art shops. That'll do the trick :)

I was wondering if anyone had fitted either a CPR6 manifold and/or cammed their SV6. I'm weighing up whether it's worth the expense and was hoping some SV6 owners who may have fitted either one or both and could share their opinions/thoughts. From the rough calculations I've done a CPR6...

Looks alright I reckon and good on you for doing it. Personally though, I reckon it lacks a definate edge around what remains of the original plastic and is 'all mesh'...if that makes sense. If I was to do it, I'd glue the mesh to the inside edge of the plastic. That way, the grill would still...

The OP has 39 posts an joined in October 2011...saying it's an SC troll thread is pretty stupid. How'd you come to that conclusion anyway?

Here ya go ShowStopperG :) http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13453705365481 In-cabin clip...Sounds alright

Just use tint film and replace your globes with LED's. Simple. Most cars have a mounted brake light either in the spoiler or the rear window anyway...so there's no problem with people behind not seeing a brake light. Honestly, some people throw opinions around like they're gospel without...

That sounds the goods Jarp :) How much was the cam all up? And what are your thoughs on the improvement over the factory cams?

Nice ride man...reminds me of my car :) Those photos are awesome too. As far as lowering goes, I went with Kings SSSL front and SSL for the rear. Shocks are standard and are just fine. Check it out if you're interested. :) http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/ve-wm/202258-2010-black-sv6-sidi.html

Cheers for the kind words blokes. I had the headers and X-Force resonators fitted by Ringwood Exhaust for $1600.

Yeah I know what you're saying...in fact now that I think of it, I'm not sure if the pod on a Growler even needs oil. I'll have to find out...

Here's how some headers, Growler CAI, mufflers, a big MAF pipe and a tune sound. Got bored today and thought I'd make a clip of how the car sounds from the inside. I couldn't get too stupid, what with there being speed limits and road rules and all that :) More of an excuse to make another car...

The inner diameter of the pipe is 102mm and the outer diamer of the MAF is...well to be honest I'm not sure, but pretty close to 102mm. A ring clamp is all you need to get a tight seal. The Growlers do have an oiled filter, which reminds me I should wash it and oil it up.
