So I’m currently finally coming to the end of doing a WH full cream leather interior conversion into my VX Berlina. Seats, door cards, dashboard, dual zone heater box, the whole lot. I started this early last year, but due to having to move out of my previous workspace and find a new one, and...

Hi all, I’ve picked up a VX factory spoiler and a VX boot lid with factory drilled holes for the bolts that I want to put on my VX Berlina, however I don’t have the bolts to secure the spoiler to the boot lid. I assume I can get bolts from Bunnings that will suit, just wondering what ones I...

Hi all, I need to replace the CAS in my VN Calais “Series 1.5” (Series II car with Series I engine). About a year ago I replaced the harmonic balancer with a new Powerbond one. When I removed the old one I used a puller from Supercheap and got the correct bolts and washers from Bunnings and had...

Hi all, Been a while since I've been on here, anyway I picked up a VN Calais V6 yesterday, its in relatively good shape, completely grandpa spec, and my plans are more or less to just drive it and enjoy it. First time behind the wheel of a VN and I'm loving it. Anyway, some questions: 1. On...

Anyone seen the new ad for the Holden Colorado? At the end it has in big print, "THINK COLORADO TRUCK". WTF? This is Australia mate....its called a UTE!

Just today it seems that sometimes when I'm driving, for example when going over a speed bump, or any bump in general, my amp (which drives my front speakers) and my sub (self powered) will cut out, and I'll just be left with my rear speakers. My initial thought the first time it cut out was...

With my rego expiring in the coming weeks I decided that the time had come to re-register my car in NSW, given that I am now living in Sydney permanently. Had an AUVIS inspection earlier this week (despite what people say, that was the easiest part of this whole thing), got a blue slip, green...

So I was at JB today, they're having a sale on CDs and DVDs. I bought Houso's vs Authority, also decided to stock up on some iTunes credit while I was at it. Didn't realise until just now that the guy at the checkout forgot to take the security thing off that prevents you from opening the...

Well that title got your attention, didn't it? :) Anyway, a few months back I upgraded to Windows 8. At first, after I got used to the interface, I liked it. Seemed quicker than Windows 7, and some of the improvements (such as having the taskbar on both my monitors) were nice. After a couple of...

So as some of you know, I used to live in the Bundaberg region, which at the moment is still getting its ass whooped by Mother Nature. From what I understand this is worse than the 2010/2011 floods. Given that I'm in Sydney, I'm obviously fine...though I'm spending my public holiday basically...

Crown Casino ejects disabled man, wrongly believing he was drunk | News.com.au Disgusting. And its quite a shame to say this...but things like this are pretty much why I've given up on going out. (apart from the fact that I'm saving for a trip to the US) Honestly, if I had a dollar for every...

I'm looking at sticking a sub in my Astra. Given that its only a small car, and I like my boot space, I'm looking at going down the slimline route, if I can get one thats powered, even better. I'm looking at getting this one: BassLink - Infinity, which can be sourced from the US for about $320...

On Christmas morning a cop on horseback is sitting at a traffic light, and next to him is a kid on his shiny new bike. The cop says to the kid, “Nice bike you got there. Did Santa bring that to you?” The kid replies, “Yeah.” The cop says, “Well, next year tell Santa to put a tail-light on...

So I was out and about this morning and saw a van marked as a "Juice Detox Ambulance" or some bullshit like that. Long story short, it nearly put me in an ambulance...but anyway, it had on the bonnet in big print, "AMBULANCE"...even though it doesn't look like a real ambulance, I would have...

Check this out: The Internet map We made it on there, and if its anything to go by, apparently we get more traffic than ls1.com.au!

I took my car (2007 AH Astra) in for a service today. While they had it I got a call saying that one of the rear engine mounts has actually snapped. When questioned I was told its just normal wear and tear. This car is just coming up to 5 years old. While it has been driven on some rough...

Jeremy Clarkson accused of racism AGAIN after Top Gear Christmas Special goes to India | Mail Online When will people realise that complaining about Clarkson does absolutely nothing but spur him on even more? Either way - personally I say good on him...the one thing that always amuses (and...

Man dies after Queensland scooter crash | News.com.au I really do wish that elderly people would realise that while YES, a mobility scooter is a wheeled vehicle with a motor, just like a car, it is not a car, and belongs on the footpath, not the road. I've lost count of how many times I've...

Woman killed when street sled hits rail on Mt Cootha in Brisbane | News.com.au So I wonder if the Police are now going to have a crackdown on luge riders? (to be honest I had to Google it as I'd never even heard of one until now) Either way, if I were going to strap myself to a sled designed...

Anger at Aldi's booze for a buck | News.com.au I would love to know - why is it that with the regulation of alcohol in this country, that we still have so much trouble with alcohol-related crime and violence, yet other countries that don't have the regulations we do have far less trouble...

Thought some of you might be interested to see this - apparently Holden have just finished restoring their first ever concept car, the Hurricane. Climate control, rear vision camera, 4 wheel disc brakes...so far ahead of its time. And of course, such a beautiful body. Such a shame that they...

Found this on another forum. I think I am in love:

Have they remade Back To The Future yet?

A couple of weeks back I installed a Pioneer DEH-3350UB in my car. Its a great head unit and I'm really quite happy with it. Given that my car doesn't have a standard DIN size slot for the head unit, I have it installed with a dash pocket that has a compartment underneath for storing stuff...

Brunswick Semi Trailer Accident Leaves Man, 23, Dead Now who in their right mind could possibly think that running underneath ANY moving vehicle could possibly be a good idea, regardless of what speed its travelling at, or...anything, really? Ah well, natural selection at its finest I guess.

Pedobear appears in America's Favorite Coupon Book spruiking for CP Distributor | News.com.au How unfortunate...either way - it gave me something to laugh at on what was otherwise a terrible day. :rofl2:

The right A pillar on my Astra has a tiny dent in it...only ridiculously tiny, probably about a millimetre, but of course to me it stands out like a sore thumb since I know its there, and thus I want it fixed. I went to the local smash repair place today and they took some photos (the guy who...

Saturday night I had a mate over. Nothing out of the ordinary, we talked a bit, watched some movies, got on the drink a bit, and ended up going to bed around 1 am. I had 7 cans of Bundy and cola, something I can normally do in my sleep. Yesterday morning I woke up at around 7:30 am...was...

Dad rapped for taking on bullies | QLD News | Breaking News in Queensland | Ipswich Queensland Times While I think he might have gone a bit too far saying "I'll kill you", other than that I think this man should get a ####ing medal. Its all well and good to say "he should've gone to the...

So last weekend I went down to Gympie to do a defensive driving course. It was really good, I learnt quite a bit, had a bit of fun, got to know the limits of both my car and myself, and as a result I've come back as a better driver. My question is though...why don't they make it mandatory for...

Just wondering what albums you like to listen to when you're out on the road. :) Mine are: - the Top Gun soundtrack (its very 80's, but I love blasting it while cruising on the highway) - Deep Purple - When We Rock, We Rock, When We Roll, We Roll - Talking Heads - The Collection - Live -...

I'm after a glove box air guide (little doodad that clips into the side of the glovebox and routes air from the HVAC system into the glovebox, for keeping drinks and stuff cold) for my AH Astra. From what I've read on the Astra forum I'm a member of, I need Vauxhall part number 13115964. Is...

My first car - 2007 Astra CDX! (crashed :() So finally I get a chance to create my own "Show Off Your Ride" thread :) Anyway, its not a Commodore, but still a Holden (sort of), its a 2007 Astra! I wasn't really all that keen on getting a FWD car at first, since the other buzzboxes I've...

So the time has come, I'm looking at getting a car. Sadly, since my parents are involved, its NOT going to be a Commodore. At the moment I'm looking at a 2007 Astra...i really know SFA about them apart from that they're an Opel, and the one I'm looking at has the 90kW 1.8L engine and is auto...

My Dad has a MY08 VE Berlina, recently he's noticed that the plastic trim on the side of the driver's seat is cracked, as can be seen in the attached photo. Just wondering, is this a common issue with these seats? I checked the trim on the side of the passenger's seat, and its fine, although the...
