Yeh my mistake. Will my existing vt fog lamps fit a vx Calais bar/are they hard I mount on a vx?

anything guys?

hey ive been offered a 2008 ve clubby 6spd manual with 160k on the clock for $15 000. the reason it is so cheap is that it was purchased as a statutory write off from NSW and is now unlicensed in Perth, WA. the bloke selling it is unaware as to why it was written off as the car is perfectly...

hey guys ive been looking around at a few other calais and i reckon the VX series two front ends look so nice with the genuine tinted headlights and the full grille. I have a series 1 L67 calais and im thinking about chucking on one of these vx front ends. is it possible to cut out/modify my...

Sweet as, i can still drive on the 40r's yeh? illl just have speedo troubles and maybe scrubbing on the front strut on full lock?

About how much will they set me back and where can I get them from?

sweet thanks heaps guys, i plan to lower the profile when i get some money but for the time being im going to need to leave the tyres they come with. If i lower the profile what is the widest i would be able to go on the ssv rim fatmoe?

Hey guys i know this has been covered bulk times but ive come across a set of 19 inch SSV wheels for my calais at a dirt cheap price in brand new condition and i need a direct answer straight away. All i need to know is will they fit onto my VT Calais with 245/40R19 tyres after I machine the...

hey mate ill take the foglight switch off you? pm me asap!!!!

I'm having the same trouble but on a VT, did you find where it goes?

Sweet cheers mate how much did the painting of the number plate bit set you back?

Hey dude, when you changed the garnish over did you need a fill in panel or something. like behind your number plate is covered by the VT garnish but on the VX garnish it is the colour of your car. Was this section already painted or do you need to get another little section from somewhere?

KEEP THE STOCK LIGHTS, and if you decide on the cv8 lights get rid of the whole garnish dont leave the middle bit.....and sell it to me!

This is happeneing to me except mines a Calais. Behind the supercharger there's a vacuum hose on mine that's perished. I assume this is the problem with mine but I haven't fixed it yet. There's a small thin nipple behind the supercharger just where the air line starts to turn, my hose has...

Hey someone told me that you are supposed to run the L67 motors on premium fuel. Is this true? Or do you think the extra cost of premium will be justified with the extra economy opposed to the cheaper standard petrol? Cheers

What did you use to take them off?

Hey everyone I've got a l67 vt Calais with the dual climate control and the mode button(selects like face, feet, windscreen) is permanently stuck on windscreen. The display reads that it's changing position but it's constantly on the windscreen. I've found a hose that was perished and is since...

Did anyone work out if these would fit number plate lights and fog lamps as well???

mmm sounds like you need to get a supercharger and leather interior, or next option just burn the hunk of ****

yeh i was going to do this. i bought my vt from a bloke that replaced the battery in his after holdens rediculous prices. he said that they actually fuse the plastic together so you actually have to break the key casing to open it up. i just put some old tyre tube in the case to press on for...

hahah yeh of course it has to be supercharged. if it was a standard executive or a standard 6 i would have wrecked it but being a calais and supercharged, i couldnt part with it. also to find a supercharged calais in the condition mine is in would be near on 7k, maybe just a few less kms. this...

thanks guys, hes already started doing the job so not really any turning back - should be home by friday. he said itd be around 15 hours of labour, as he is checking over the whole car for me. little costs such as a full radiator flush with new coolant, all new oil and the labour costs of these...

yeh sweet as cheers mick, you dont by anychance have a suitable diff, and a front left hand exterior door handle in raven mica? hopefully hes on my side, who knows, everyones out to make a bit of extra money at others loss. As i said dads paid for it and my baby should be back at home by next...

yeh thats what he sort of said that the cast irons are far stronger and can be rewelded, but its a hassle and the price would be a tad cheaper but not enough to justify getting new ones. also hes a family mechanic and weve known him for years, so he wouldnt do a dirty on us anyday, dad brings...

caprice for sure, how much did you pay out of interest?

yeh its a series 1 so thats no worries. how much do you rekon i should be paying for a diff? and is it a job i can do myself? cheers

this sounds exactly the same as my car! had it for a week then i took it to the mechanic for a check over and the heads were destroyed, needed a full rebuild $3000 later.... is yours a supercharged 6 or standard 6?

Hey guys i bought my first car which is a 1998 VT calais supercharged. i got it pretty cheap, but ive since had to rebuild the motor. the car has 230k on the clock, and the diff has a rather loud whine. the mechanic that is rebuilding my diff said itd be near 1000 bucks to put a recond diff in...

Hey guys i bought my first car, a 1998 Vt Supercharged Calais with 230k on the clock for $3000. Since then (about a month) ive had to rebuild the bloody motor for near $3000 because of the sly turkey that sold it to me. When i purchased it i was aware that the diff had a loud whine, anyway...

Hey after scrolling through numerous forums for what to watch out for, i purchased my first car! I bought a 98 VT Supercharged L67 Calais for $3000 with 220k on the clock. The car itself is in pretty top condition so I was stoked with the price. I was aware that id need to spend a bit of...
