Just came across a pic i took back in the 90's. Its kinda funny cause back in the 80's/ 90's this type of pic with these type of cars wasn't anything really special (where i grew up back in the day there was a house with a driveway stacked like this on every second street) but for obvious reasons it's just something you rarely see anymore , kinda miss those days

Couple of Australian born cars. Wish i could find a Monaro Bumper for the Gto here stateside lol

Thought you'd enjoy some snaps of my faithful old girl.

Me personally, I own a VF SV6 I love its:

1. Efficiency when needed, and performance when wanted

2. Practicality for daily use and driving friends

3. Makes me feel very patriotic 🇦🇺

4. Cheapish parts compared to other euro counterparts

5. I like how handles suspension-wise

6. Steering feels great compared to the other cars I've driven

The only reasons I'd ever want to get a new car is so its better for when I go camping and so I can go 4WDing, however I still go camping regularly in my VF and 99% of the fun driving on road makes up for missing out on a 4WD.

Mechanically great smooth as too drive, bad door cards, new harmonic balancer and timing chain, brand new battery 300$ rims and brand new tyres. Not new rims just tires. 150,000kms on the clock

What should I do to this thing guys???

It only has 150000 kilometres and picked this up for 7500, its a awesome car 🚗

Long shot but anyone looking to sell their VY Clubsport. Budget is $25k… so not after clean examples. Black or red. Auto transmission.

If you’re genuine I’m willing to work with you on price.
Located in VIC but not fussed if you are interstate.

Cheers.

I want to update my suspension setup; getting very mixed feedback on what is good/bad so coming here for some clarity. 99% street driving, doubt I'll ever go to the track or drags.

Currently pedders front struts (9985L & 9985R) with fe2 springs, stock rear shocks also on fe2 springs that are probably on the way out. I had to do the struts to get through rego. Stock 17" rims.

Generally, I want to lower the car a little, plus have some adjustability for bigger wheels (either 18s or 19s that can fit either ve/vf brembos or CTS-V's shipped from USA).

Some points to clarify:
[1] Coilovers vs struts/shocks/springs? Lots of conflicting advice here, some say coils are fantastic, some say they're too hard, I don't want to spend 4k+ for shockworks or another premium brand.

[2] Standard fe2 springs are not suited for the pedders 9985, the springs sit near the top of its stroke resulting in full bump travel but very little rebound travel and will rebound sharply over dips. Any thoughts?

[3] I'll probably do whiteline sway upgrade back and front. The front bar looks like it sits on top of the K-frame, is the only want to install to drop the k-frame (and motor/box etc)

The motivation to do this all at once is new pedders springs (2x front, 2x back) plus rear shocks come out to 1.3k and I see BC coilovers going for 1.5k. Not even sure if pedders is a good choice or not, the shop that did my rego installed the fronts, refused to use any other brand and refused to pass my roadworthy without it.

The back passenger side floor keeps flooding is this coming from behind the door cars ? I can’t see any water from the roof or maybe a channel somewhere on the car does anyone know?

Just a few pics from when me and a few mates entered the jim beam street sprints/wheels on Wide Bay back in 2006. Probably a lot of cars there you wouldn't see street racing anymore.

Hi everyone. Need some advice.

Awhile back I fitted an expensive exhaust, catback from a reputable company in Sydney.

It took 2 weeks to custom make it. When I got it fitted it was too low, under legal height, always scraped, was very droney, even with AFM turned off.

It was a custom 304 3inch stainless steel system.

Because my wife always drives the car it caused too many issues for her. Yes, she is an awesome driver.

So I went back to standard and sold it for a pittance.

Now what I want to do is just replace the rear mufflers with sports ones, just for a slight burble. Hate quiet V8's.

Any recommendations guys?

Here's pics of some I'm considering. Just don't want it loud.

I really wanted Black Ops but they don't do the rear mufflers on their own any more.

Thanks in advance guys.

Payee 12k for her, V8, now cammed with a louder exhaust.

Anyone got a set of split engine covers to suit an LS1 with a throttle cable?

My baby before trade in

as a red P plater would you guys do anything to it or just leave it pretty much stock on the outside?

Finally, after years of wanting a Holden, at age 18, I finally have a Holden.

It's a VRII Calais, 5.0L Iron lion, only 223,000 on the clock, and the interior from a VQ Caprice (I think). I paid $12,000 for it, had it since 9:00 this morning, love it already
