I have some questions as I have had the VZ SV6 for a few days now - so share your knowledge please guys!
1. On a mate's VY and my VZ I have noticed the handbrake, if pulled while moving (slowly!) really grabs suddenly, almost like it is hydraulically assisted or something. Anyone know why? This is more for my interest than anything...
2. I have been reading about airbox mods and it seems the 2 hole mod is the one I want to do - comments? Most of the stuff I have read seems to be from V8 owners... the standard intake doesn't look tooooo bad - nice big pipe going to the radiator shroud, so should i leave that and add a second hole or remove it and haave the full 2 hole mod?
3. There's these frickin spots on the wing mirrors, look like water spots or similar and they don't want to come off! is this some sort of know issue with the glass used in the mirrors or something? Or do i just need to try harder.....
4. The gear knob (manual) rotates clockwise and anticlockwise a few mm...not a huge amount but enough that I want o fix it if possible - is this just normal play in the system? I'm pretty sure it is, as it just doesn't feel like the knob is rotating on the thread, more like the linkage that goes down thru the floor is rotating...and it's not a big deal, I just don't have any other SV6 to compare it to!
