    ACL Rehab

    Hey guys, I'm curious to know if anyone here has done an ACL before? I've ruptured my ACL, PCL, Medials and torn my Calf muscle Wednesday night playing Indoor Footy, not liking the shock of not being able to do anything. Got the MRI Monday to confirm all this, consultation with the surgeon...

    Question about Tyre Wear

    If any mechanics/tyre people can help that would be great. Had a quick look at my old man's car yesterday (2002 Avalon) and saw that the two left tyres were worn quite considerably more than the two right ones. Is this a wheel balance or alignment issue, or something to do potentially with...

    Heel-Toe vs Rev Matching On Downshift

    Who does what?? I personally struggle with the Heel-Toe, maybe cuz I have big feet or just unco, but I rev match on downshift, which I feel I've got down pat.... Here's the thing though, is either one worse than the other for the clutch and/or engine??

    JC cheated on his wife.....with his former wife??

    TOP Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson tried to stop his ex-wife from claiming they had sex after he remarried. Clarkson, who has made a name for himself as a man who refuses to be silenced, denies the allegation but took out a gagging order against Alexandra Hall last year. The claim can now...

    A (Minor) Ethical Issue

    So I just got back from the shops, where in the CarPark I found a $20 note, that looked like it had fallen out of someone's pocket while they were getting into their car. I pick it up and go to the Security Office only for them to be closed. Wasn't sure as to what to do, but I ended up...

    Squeaky Clutch On VZ SV6

    My car's just ticked over 100 000km, and almost as soon as that happened, I've developed a squeaky clutch when releasing it. It is quite noticeable when Reversing and holding friction point. I'm of the belief it could have something to do with the Clutch plates wearing out or having shifted...

    Neutral While Cruising?

    Just got a question guys. I was told by a rozzer a while back that cruising in neutral (manual or auto) on a flat surface, downhill or coming to a stop is considered dangerous driving under the law, as you lose control of some braking power, as well risking warping your brakes. However...

    [VIC] Registration And Insurance

    Vx ss

    Hey guys, Thinking about trading my VZ SV6 (selling, whatever) for a V8. Was looking at some VX SS's, quite like the look of them aesthetically. Was wondering if there is anything I should be looking for problem wise, and what price range do you think a reasonable one would be? If I can...

    Macca's Fail

    So I just got back from the Macca's Drive Thru at EHSC, cuz that was the only thing open. Ask for a Chicken Deluxe meal with Water instead of Coke. It takes the dude at the window like 5 minutes to figure out how to change it, then he says Im sorry you have to pay for a coke but we'll give you...

    [VIC] Waiting At Lights

    I always read that if you're car's gonna be idle for more than 60 seconds, you're better of switching the car off and then turning it back on, because it consumes less petrol. Because I read the traffic lights at every intersection and don't just sit there like a clueless goose, I always turn...

    BCM Issue

    Hey guys, I'll give you a background of my situation: About 3 months ago, I started to notice my SV6 having a few electrical problems, especially when starting up. I've got aftermarket HID Xenon's on my car, and when I unlock it, I notice that one of the globes doesn't light up, and its...
