My Perfect Blue SV6 Ute

On a side note, I've seen VZs in my area with old VK-VL rims... that look must be coming back

Does anyone actually bother reading the tyre placard and tightening the wheel nuts to the correct newton meters?

I doubt it, I just go tight, but not over tight.

I actually saw one of those VE Blue Meanies today, looked stunning, If I wasn't driving around the carpark looking for a spot I would have gotten out and checked it more

I know I dont, I just Do what AlanRobert said tight but not to tight.

Was it a sedan or a ute. I have seen a ute in Ferntree Gully/ Lysterfield area. When I see it I get so jealous. Do the VZ's look good with those wheels ? I cant see the Brocky look on cars other then red, black, blue and white.

I always do my wheel nuts up to the correct spec, and any time it's had the wheels off by Holden or tyre joints etc I re-check every wheel nut.

You cant be sure with just the kit they give you with the car can you.

Btw would you be able to give me the details of putting a catch can in a V6. Pretty sure it was you I was talking to in a thread the other day

Oh thanks heaps mate, I just realized who you are too

So is it the hose that goes into the center of the intake manifold that you go through to the catch can then into the the intake manifold ?

I know ey, its made of plastic. I'm planning to one day make a cover for it. Basically I will hide the intake manifold with a cover styled like the SS manifold but with 6 instead of 8. But its only a maybe.

I had a look at it but I'm only 95% certain its the same line.
