    CAI into L67?

    Hey guys, I have an L67 vy. Currently its setup with a pod filter, and some piping/ It has no surrounds, so Im under the impression that the pod is just sucking in a lot of hot air from the engine. The car is very responsive at higher speeds, but no so quick off the mark, unless I well and...

    'Fuel Gauge Error - Contact Dealer'.

    I have a VY storm, it sits really high on stock FE2 (I think) suspension. I want to buy springs, preferred king springs, and have measured from wheel to hub and want to lower it about 35mm on the FRONT and 65mm on the BACK. Just wondering what others are running on their utes? I've searched...

    Hey guys, I have a VY storm ute, and want it lowered. I don't trust myself doing it, and was wondering what sort of shops would SUPPLY and fit springs. I've called pedders and they wanted $730 to supply and fit just springs, and I think thats crazy. Are there any tyre/suspension...

    VX SS Oil Leak.

    Hey guys, I have a pretty amateur question to ask. I have an oil leak, coming from just above the extractors on my motor. Its hitting the extractors, and causing a bit of a smell and smoke when I drive. I've been giving the car a bit, just to test its capabilities. The better part of the leak...

    1989 rodeo holding gears.

    I have a 89 rodeo, automatic transmission (I know, terrible). Anyway, the ute holds gears for waaaaay too long. First gear is okay, but second onwards holds gears until I let go of the throttle completely (not just back off). Considering its an older motor, what would you guys assume this...

    VZ Thermostat Issues - Does It Sound Right?

    Problem #2 with the VZ, three months into owning it. Just wondering what you guys think about how this all sounds. Anyway, I have a rather small leak (which only appears when running at operating temp), it is coolant and drips off the steering rack area - originally I thought it was PS fluid...

    VZ overheating, and temperature going crazy.

    Look, I know this has been stated before. And I've spent the better part of the last 2 hours looking over old threads, and I've taken what they've said into account, but I need some more specific information as my situation seems a little different. So please, no 'aw use the search feature'...

    I recently had my 05 VZ overheat on me, rather rapidly after only a short drive. Its always been fine, always serviced, and had relatively low kms.

    Holden Rodeo front suspension issues.

    Hi, I have a 95 Rodeo dual cab, 2.6L 2wd. The front is really bad on bumps, and bottoms out (as if the shockies are completely gone). Upon looking under the car, I can see no front springs, and cant even see any shocks, just a solid metal arm? I havent jacked it up, so cant see too well...
