was it hard to find it in manual? did u buy from auction?

 

[Nofan]

It took along time for me to find a manual at this price. So cheap too! And this was from melbournes cheapest cars.

The only other manuals i found were all S pack's priced at 17K or the SS's which are alot more in condition.

I litteraly looked at hundreds of other commodores at different dealers and i found none. After driving this car for a week the clutch and eveything seems to be running incredibly smooth. But the only problem i had has been the ABS failure warning popping up twice randomly but that goes away and i don't think it's the actual abs but rather the electronics stuffing up.

Damien at melbournes cheapest was great, he even chucked in floor mats, detailed the car and a set of tyres.

Yep that was the same with me two, spent about 3-4 months till i found my buggy. Blue SV6 with a 6spd, low ks too.

Nice pickup btw. Looks the goods in red!

Cheers mate, love the blue sv6 too. Both bright colors. Though I've always seen Holden more as red. Do you think having manual's will help retain the value of our cars in the future? I mean of course manual's are cheaper but in 3 years when i sell it , there will be more p platers on restrictions therefore more of them will be looking for manual v6's.

 

[Farax]

their both crazy cars, yeah i got me a 5sp vy aswell for cheap 8K
and yeah easily their demand will be high in a few years and you can make you money's worth and a lil profit. thats my opinion

 

[Nofan]

8k? Where'd you go Farax thats dirty cheap! wish i could of got one that cheap. But yeah.

A little update, picked up a Ryco A360 Air filter last night, might install, not sure if it will fit. Also gotta buy some tools. Pity payday ain't till tuesday.

 

[Farax]

yeah Nofan i bought it with front bumper damages, i juss change the front bumper and one headlight and it was good to go, they flyyy too

 

[Nofan]

Nice, Yeah I've noticed it's a VERY fun car to drive. I would of put on a clubby front if i was you Farax but thats just me

A little update guys bought a Sony double din head unit. I'll post it some other time. Ripped out my stock head unit. Its going to eBay soon. It was quite fun. Following some instructions from i believe a post by Phreddy? I got a coat hanger chopped them up with a hack saw and it worked first go .

I'm still trying to get a double din surround a Grey one to match, so if anyone knows where i can get on shoot me a pm or a post, they only have black atm in stock at bendigo .

I'm having trouble deciding what to do next. Wheels or 6x9's 6's , amp and sub + amp. Or exhaust. I want to decent exhaust system thats not just all for show but some power behind it.

defs go wheels first. this car would look shmicko with rims and a bit of lowering. youve already got a stainless exhaust tip that should do you looks wise for now, and std. sound system on commys is still pretty good
