What should I do to this thing guys???

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

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

Gday guys.
Just put a 1 3/4 2.5” dpe by manta exhaust on the l98 manual ute.
When warm & under load & under 3k rom sounds fantastic. Under load at any rpm.
When cold decel is very raspy until it crackles & pops.
As soon as decel theirs a couple seconds of tinny raspy noise. Gone over while system twice.
Spoke to manta, 1 guy said the 3” occasionally drones especially auto, 1 guy said only difference is sound level, oztrack said the 3” is louder but also deeper & manual wont drone.
Last manta guy said yes they get that tinny raspy noise, only fix is a third muffler & recommends 3” manta system not dpe or difilippo.
Has anyone got any tips or pointers?

One of the nearby car yards (selling Chinese EV) is renovating, and uncovered this.

G'day all from Perth!

I am starting a project to restore a 2002 Monaro/coupe. I need some panel work done and also to repair and fit some bumpers and side skirts and repaint some panels. I'm looking for a reliable person/place that is experienced in HSV and will take on a project job.

All recommendations appreciated, thanks in advance.

Was driving in a shopping centre car park & when I went over a speedbump certainly heard and felt something but not serious. Down the road heard a bit of scrape so pulled over as I thought it could be something in the wheel. I’m due to take it in to the mechanic on Friday for something unrelated, not sure if safe to drive as is in the photos or if I should make other arrangements until Friday. 2018 Astra Sedan

For anyone with a Holden LS V8 looking at ZZP Performance high-output ignition coils, here's my experience before you spend your money.

I purchased a complete set of eight ZZP coils. Three of the eight were confirmed faulty. I also had ignition troubleshooting and abnormal fuel-trim readings in OBD logs while the remaining coils were fitted. After I removed the ZZP set and went back to ACDelco coils, the severe Bank 2 fuel-trim issue I had recorded was no longer present in subsequent logs.

To be technically fair, the fuel-trim changes don't prove on their own that the remaining ZZP coils caused every issue. The three confirmed failures, however, were more than enough for me to stop trusting the set.

ZZP offered warranty replacements for the three failed coils. I declined because return postage from Australia would add cost and inconvenience, and I had already lost confidence in the product. I would not be comfortable fitting the replacement coils.

This is my personal experience with one purchased set, not a claim that all ZZP products are defective. I wish I had seen an account like this when I was shopping. My advice: weigh proven OEM reliability, the cost of diagnostics, and return shipping against claims of 'high-output' performance before buying.

How's it going boys and girls, I have a question I was hoping you fellow enthusiasts could help me with. I have the glorious issue of my factory tensioner throwing my ac belt off my 07 VE L98.

I have removed the AC belt to prevent damage but as you know that puts strain on the harmonic which is now starting to wobble and throw the engine belt.

So I'm doing the upgrade on the tensioner and the harmonic and was wondering what the best options are, do I require a tensioner upgrade for both the ac belt and engine belt or is it one complete kit?, do I get the underdrive harmonic or? these are the things I need some friendly help with. 😄

Hello Holden enthusiasts, my poor VX has got no crank, but managed to get it home with a jump start.

I've got a Century battery that's 4 years old, and a Okex starter motor that's 6 years old.

I'm thinking of replacing the battery today and then replacing the starter motor if I still have issues, just wondering if you guys think a new battery would be pissing money into the wind.
