Hey y'all, I'm looking at picking up a Series 2 SSV Redline in June next year, and I am starting to think about budgeting for it, and was looking to get an idea of what the general consensus is on how much a car with higher mileage would be worth paying less for than a higher mileage one. For...

My regular mechanic is solid, saw the old radiator out for myself, so it shouldn't be that. I'll have to hit up the mechanic I've lined up for tomorrow, or see my regular on Monday, after idling for 40 mins (20 with AC on, 20 without), I was unable to observe any sort of leak apart from an...

I was skeptical too, but they did indeed confirm over the phone they’re open on a Sunday, pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I’ve had the idea I could be overreacting and it could potentially be condensation from the AC being on, currently parked and idling with the AC off to see if I can still...

Hey all, Last week I had my radiator replaced in what seemed to be a failure of it, which caused a coolant leak and engine overheating. Symptoms then included rapidly fluctuating engine temperatures, a slight leak coming from just behind the oil closer towards the transmission, and what sounded...

Geez, sounds like those OEM wheels did their job pretty well!

At the moment, $1500 is kinda my top end of what I'm able to spend, was just mainly wondering if these wheels I plan on buying are gonna end up in the scrapyard the moment I hit a pothole, or if they're up for more of a beating. I had my second cracked rim replaced today with a 20" Simmons FR1...

Unfortunately the wheels have been discontinued for a fair bit now it seems, and they've been with the old owner since god-knows-when. That, and I don't have any receipts, proof of purchase or anything, that was all the old owner. So I don't think I'm getting any replacement for these exact ones.

Yeah I was speaking to the people at the mags shop earlier, employee said he has my exact rims for his VT, and all 4 of them cracked on him, and when I brought up that I was planning to buy Hussla branded 20" wheels he started praising how their work vans have Hussla's and they get thrashed...

I bought my VF about 2 months ago and it came with a set of 20" PDW wheels, 5-spoke, nice looking, good overall wheel... except for the fact I've had my rear left and front left crack within a month of each other. I'm ordering a new 4 set of Hussla Billz Gloss Black to replace them as they're...

Hey guys, I was looking to get some scuffs on my front bumper repaired, and a couple light scratches on my car fixed, and I’m quite surprised with how much I’m being quoted, which in my case is $850 + GST. Judging from the pictures provided, is this too much to pay for how much damage I’ve got...

I didn't get any time yesterday to consult any tyre shops for spacers, so I've gotta wait until Monday for that. As for me with no torque wrench at the moment, I've just done up my lug nuts as tight as I can.

Yeah I've currently got it on the rear left, I was suggested to use a torque wrench to do up the lug nuts to 100nm, would this be beneficial to my situation? And I reckon I'll consult an engineering place on Monday once they open up to see about getting one down

TL;DR, the shop I bought from won't return the wheel for a variety of reasons, told me I should have known they were drilled for pre-VE before buying, etc etc. So I'm not getting a return on this. How bad would it be for me to keep driving on this until I can get my hands on something that...

I have now been made aware that the wheel, was in fact machined to fit pre-VE o_O I had driven around for probably about 20km before finding out and didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary. I've been suggested to use bolt-ons to secure it, could that help with my situation? It was...

Hey guys, I was in a bit of a predicament recently, with a cracked rear rim on my VF that needed replacement. So I chucked on my space saver, and am ordering a new sit of 20" rims for my car. As I drive every day and fairly long distance, the space saver isn't going to last too long, and is too...
