    Where to get brackets for aftermarket seats?

    If a cop wants to issue a yellow sticker he will always find something. Can get a yellow sticker for anything these days. Depends on the cop EDIT: and the driver.

    Where to get brackets for aftermarket seats?

    That's not too bad I do keep the car in the best nic possible and when a cop pulls me up they generally check the engine and tyres not so much the seats. Maybe seat covers could help retain the stock look but that would sorta defeat the purpose they don't look too radical. Besides it's only 4...

    fuel consumption, whats yours?

    Simple answer : too much. 9.5 is lowest I've had country driving 20.2 highest I've had being a hoon. Stock ecotec ute. (V6) It's on 13-14 normally. I have a "spirited" driving style tho so it's my fault I have had it down to 11 nanny driving round town. I don't do burnouts ever as I do love my...

    Where to get brackets for aftermarket seats?

    Will post up pics when I get around to the job. Planning and ordering parts stages ATM. Maybe do a tutorial when I get around to it. The seats do recline. I plan to keep seatbelts stock. No side impacts.

    Where to get brackets for aftermarket seats?

    Don't need lube if you have a chastity belt in the form of an engineering cert. Permits make good lube tho they can still #### ya pretty hard. EDIT: so they can't be sourced? Trying to avoid welding coz it take's the viscosity out of the lube and thorns off the belt

    Holden and HSV relationship??

    I think they can do what they want so long as holden approves so at the end of the day holden says yes that will be ok or no you cannot do that to our cars look at what happened to HDT, Peter Brock with the holden director when he went against what holden said. So long as they don't go mad...

    cooling system

    Well if your car was sold without seatbelts as new you might be able to pass a roadworthy without seatbelts, not sure. but if your car came with them then they must be installed and functioning properly. Same as airbags same as heater same as windows same as anything on your car pretty much...

    cooling system

    Possible easier fix ( maybe) there are two hoses under the bonnet going into the firewall one flows coolent in it goes thru heater core and exits in the one next to it you could pull them out and connect them effectively bypassing your heater core but this deems your car unroadworthy as you will...

    can you change back from a thick oil to thin?

    Yes you can. So long as you use an oil flush and drop the oil while its still warm (not hot) also be sure to change the oil filter at the same time. If you just did a swap without changing the filter or doing a flush it will still be okay but the viscosity will be higher due to the old oil but...
