The Mad Max music was a nice touch.

I popped the bonnet of my 06 VZ SV6 today and noticed that one of the pipes has a leak of some sort. I am not too familiar with the more modern engines so I was hoping one of you gurus could give me an idea of what you think is the cause of this. This is the Alloytec 190, down on the drivers...

Looks great. Take off the license plate cover though.

My first as an 1990 EA Ford. Cheap as hell to fix if it had any issues. I think the main thing I miss about it is that I didnt care about it. I didnt care whether a mum with a baby swung their 4WD's door into it. It already had plenty of "shopping center" dings. Now I drive an immaculate VZ...

YouTube - Pissed off Aussie Calls DMV (wait till 30 secs in, thats when the good stuff starts)

Some rather interesting Russian car mods: English Russia Heres just two from that site:

They also deliver in New York City in the US, China, Thailand and a few other places Ive been to. In Europe (i was in Germany), they are even licensed so you can get a beer instead of a coke with your Big Mac meal :)

Not mine, but ouch.

You need to let us know your budget. Also might help to know what your friends are driving so we know how far your car needs to go to beat them. There are cheap mods that make small amounts of difference, then there are big expensive mods like superchargers and whatnot. All depends on what you...

This is by far the best video of the flooding/hail from that day that I have found. Watch it all the way to the end, it gets pretty crazy: LiveLeak.com - AMATEUR VIDEO: Incredible Hail Storm And Flash Flood In Melbourne (March 5, 2010) YouTube - Incredible Melbourne Hail Storm & Flash...

Was just curious whether all of those changes put you above the price of something higher end. Obviously you couldn't get a Clubsport with good KMs for $18k, but you could get an SV6 with around 80,000-100,000kms on it. Sometimes its just cheaper to start with something higher end rather than...

How much did all the mods set you back?

Being that its in the For Sale section, it may not show up on search for them if they havent been a member long enough (or whatever the requirement for the For Sale section is) Here is a link to the stickers...

I have been checking the legality of various mods and I found a handful of useful guides from various government sites stating the laws regarding car modifications in Victoria. I thought I would share them with you: Vicroads Modification Guide (dated 2003 but there isnt an updated version as...

If IE works its possible the webmin was created by a retarded web developer who doesn't know anything about cross browser compatibility. Though, Chrome was most likely made long after the webmin for your router was coded. If it constantly works in IE then its most likely a design issue.

Looks mean! How much did the twin 2.25 X-force cat-back exhaust set you back? And please, get that video up

I second that too. Get third party fire and theft insurance. A poster above me used the example: You would be lucky if you only do $6500 of damage. If you write off a new Holden you are up for $40,000 to $60,000. A write off doesn't even need to be a really nasty crash either, goto the...

Computer Technician here.. If you can access the routers web interface, but cannot click around and do things like look at other pages in the router, then the router is faulty. Sometimes good routers can freeze and after you reset them they run for years more, but since you said that you reset...

My only complaint with the VZ's is the howl from the air conditioner under acceleration, drives me nuts. Im pretty anal about these things though. I guess we should ask the OP, what are they looking to get out of the car?

+1 to that. Im also a bit biased too since I drive a VZ... but I could have afforded a VE but I just felt they were trying too hard. I think the VZ just looks sleek :)

When I was shopping for my VZ SV6 I saw a bunch of them at around the $15 mark, but just about all of them had 100,000km plus. In regards to what VZSV6 above me said about cop cars, aside from the mystery fluids in the car, the cops FANG their cars. If you have ever been pulled over by a cop...

I once ordered some Maccers for myself and my girlfriend and the total came to $16ish (dont remember exactly). I gave the employee a $20 and they gave me $4 change... plus the original $20.... and then the food . I got free Maccers and paid $4 to eat it :/

You could fill in the gaps and buy a VE and the future VF when they come out too. Dont get a VD though :)

Shush, they taught this stuff from back when I was in highschool. :P Looks like your right, I hadnt even heard of it until now. Looks like it has some interesting specs: "A 2.8-litre V6 with variable valve timing is available in some General Motors vehicles and generates 151kW at 6800 revs...

Thanks for that, a good bit of Commodore trivia right there. Yeah, a VD is definitely a bad name because of Venereal Disease as others hinted, but I wouldnt put it past Holden naming a car with the same name as a STD. I mean, HSV is short for Herpes Simplex Virus. LOL, yeah, I suspect they...

I excluded the VQ from the list because it was a Statesman rather than a Commo

This was something I was just curious about. Why did Holden go from the Commodore VZ to VE? They did VB, VC, VH, VK, VL, VN, VP, VR, VS, VT, VX, VY and VZ. Its obvious they are just increasing the letters, but why did they choose VE? Other than the fact they ran out of letters after VZ? Was...

Im having this issue too. I use either regular or premium and always give the petrol cap two clicks if not more. Appears in the cabin, usually with the Windows down. E10 is also somewhat of a false economy. Even though its cheaper, you use more of it bringing you back to about the same price if...

buljak09 and System. How many Kms were on the clock when you bought them? Was it a private or dealer seller? Just curious about how much they go for now.

I know you sold this, but do you remember what model the head unit was? Im looking at something like that for my SV6

Talking to the guy wont do anything and the ACCC is a toothless tiger. It'll be worth talking to some higher ups. This is the person listed as owning the ExpressTinting.com.au domain: Michelle Buchanan michelle [at] expresstinting.com.au The business registered on the domain are: Express...

Nailed it Kal123. Definitely a Chevy Lumina. Looking at this page , this Chevy Lumina is completely identical to mine with the exception of the Chevy badges. Same dash, same color, same rims, everything but the badges. Thanks for that Kal123.

Any idea what the type of Chevy it was? Regardless of where it was released?

Ive been lurking around here and spotted an American Equivalent of the VE SV6 on these forums. I was just wondering if anyone knows of an American VZ SV6 equivalent? or even any of the VZ's? I know they definitely have a Monaro equivalent with the Pontiac GTOs.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! I just bought the DVD "Tiger Woods Best 18 Holes" and it's all about golf. WTF man...
