Hey guys, I have putting this off for a few years purely because I can't be arsed following up the options, car has now hit 160k KMs so I figure it's about due. My redline has fairly significant sandblasting on the windshield and I'm curious as to know whether others have had this replaced...

Howdy Had my S1 redline tuned about 2 years ago with OTR and hsv340 headers into HSV catback which resulted in 245ish kw. Just had VCM532 added with DOD delete and landed on 269.2kw. Due to some miscommunication we didn't change the cats and still sitting on the standard HSV cats, but numbers...

Anyone running the above setup? Currently have 340 headers with hsv mid and Baillie tips, looking at a cam later in the year.

Right, so odd one.. Car went in for OTR and tune mid week (made 244rwkw for those wondering), and since then the car has been great. But I have noticed the HVAC now seems incapable to maintain temperature. I think I've had it on auto and 23 degrees for the last year which has always been...

As the title suggests, looking for some options and recomendations for shortened shocks. Will be looking to put SSL or equivalent springs in my SSVR wagon. Car has done 130k kms so I wouldn't want to push my luck with the stock shocks surviving too long wth lowered springs. Have seen the deal...

Picked up a S2 berlina sedan that was too cheap too pass up, however I think I've found the reason why. The entire back seat and carpet has had something spilt that resembles wet aviation gasket and honey. My options are to pull the seats out and clean the carpet with a wet/dry, or pull it all...

Recently picked up a VY S2 Berlina as a daily, steering is quite a bit heavier than my VF and old VT's and in lower speeds I've noticed that the spokes have separated. How do you go about removing and or fixing them so they're joined correctly. Also any options to fix radio controls picking up...

Recently started teaching my partner to drive and never realised how much of a pain finding my driving position is Has anyone put a memory seat into a s1 vf?

Have found some 340 headers and cats that have come up for a reasonable price, before committing I wanted to check I'm not wasting my time. Headers are from a Maloo, no issues fitting to a wagon? Has anyone got a video/audio clip on 340 headers paired with hsv mid section with bimodal cans on a...

Recently picked up a set of genuine smart shades as I have a little one in the back, I cannot for the life of me get the shades to seat properly in the window as it will either shimmy up when I put the window up or pop out whilst putting the window down. What am I doing wrong, anyone have them...

Due to upgrade my rear tyres shortly, slow leak and a 2000km round trip may shorten my timeframes. Looking for options to replace a 275/35/19. Currently have Continental ContiSport 6, phenomenal tyres but at $430-$440 it's a little bit pricey considering I've only got 22k from them. Have been...
