Well, the green SS has been sold to make way for this new VF SSV that I picked up on Saturday. So far, the verdict is - loving it. Haven't had too much of a chance to drive it yet but the interior design and feel of all the touch surfaces are streets ahead of what I stepped out of. Seating is...

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, apologies if it's a repost... http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/new...-1226416122151 Sergio Pininfarina, the man responsible for the design of some of the world's most iconic cars, died yesterday aged 85. Even though he was no longer involved with the...

Just a heads up - READ YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS! According to mine, I was entertaining a hooker in Luxembourg (it's wedged between Brussels, France and Germany to save anyone having to google it) on the same day that i bought an ipod for the girlfriend at Castle Hill in Sydney. The bank DID...

Just came across this while looking at service centres online - So if anyone in Sydney is looking for a bargain on a Redline sedan... White Redline Sedan Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Hi guys and girls, Just thought I'd share an email I received this morning for anyone interested. Supercheap seems to have a bit of an oil sale - not sure of all the details but.. Mobil 1 5w30 - $67.96 for 5L Castrol Edge 5w30 - $45.98 for 5L I only have these details for the...

Item: Stock VT head unit Location: Sydney, NSW Condition: Used Price: Free - just come and pick it up. Delivery/Pickup Information: PM me for details Payment Options: N/A Other Info: Not sure if or why anybody would want this but I found it while clearing out my garage. Came...

Just a heads up - Repco is selling 5L bottles of Mobil 1 5w30 for 60 bucks this weekend. Bit of a saving if anyone needs it.

A bit random... but I'm considering the effort vs result factor - thoughts? Only a subtle change (it's the front bar if anyone missed it) Too much of a wank?

Right.. figure I should edit this first post and do this 'show off' bit properly. Model: MY8.5 SS Ute Colour: Atomic Engine: 6.0L L98 V8 Gearbox: T56 (up to my 5th replacement) Mods: Nothing mechanical until all the issues are sorted Tint: ummmm.. 15% (shhhhhh) metal tint

Can anyone with a better understanding than mine of things mechanical (that isn't hard) think of any issues that could come up with removing the fog lights and surrounds, and replacing them with plain (proper) mesh? I don't think I've turned the lights on in the 2 1/2 years I've owned the car...

Hello hello, It's no secret that the ute has been at the dealers seemingly as much as it's been with me over the last 6 months. There's been a number of issues, mostly centred around the driveline, and without going into mundane details of all the issues, suffice to say that the gearbox...

Hi guys, It's no secret that I've been having my share of gearbox/driveline issues. Obviously these are slowly being dealt with which is time consuming and frustrating due to procedure and red tape. However, since the new gearbox went in, I've noticed a loud, metallic rattling sound which...

Hey guys, just a quick question. Has anyone else experienced a loud, mechanical whining noise coming from the air con(?) during extended periods of low speed driving - ie school zones, peak hour, car parks, etc? No idea which part of it (I'm driving it so I can't stick my head under the...

Hi All. Just finished giving the ute her weekly wash and noticed what appears to be paint flaking from behind the front bar on the passenger side. Has anyone else come across this? It doesn't seem to have happened on the driver's side. Where it's lifted, there doesn't appear to be any primer -...

I'm about done with the planning stages of all the goodies I want to put into the ute... Now it's just a matter of getting it done, bit by bit. I'm looking at getting a VCM OTR intake (MAF) and I'm wondering if it's essential to get a tune done now or if the car will run ok without one until...

Hi everyone, Just curious if anyone has fitted the seats from an E series HSV into a VE SS? Is it just a straight swap, ie bolt them in and re-wire the adjustment controls? Or is some kind of bracket required? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, I've just signed up to this site in the hope that I can learn some things about my ute. And since you all seem to know what you're talking about, I thought I'd throw this out there. Has anyone else experienced quite a loud 'crackling' noise on a cold start in a VE SS? It's...
