Yes well…ahem…..century it is lol

Just wondering if battery monitoring systems on lithium car batts have progressed to where we can now consider using ? On my zx14 - the lead acid was 6.2kg and the lithium was 600 grams…I thought at the time, whSt have I done, but the CCA spins up the high comp motor better than any lead acid...

Dynos all read different - ask to see some other car runs, they may be running low. Even a tiny bit of drag or a poor operator with inaccurate correction values on the software and you aren’t making advertised power or same power as others. It’s more important to check the curve AND the AFR. If...

That’s why yours reaches the extra -it doesn’t fit series 2 properly. Only minor changes but enough to make it not fit….

That is an awesome - how/why…so many questions lol. Yours not only reach’s but also doesn’t look to sit as proud as mine was. Also update - I did receive a hard fought refund, so that says something but I’m still down $150 for painting. If it had have fitted like yours I’d have been happy!

I think there’s a superflo and hyperflo- I’m wanting to try and fit the 2 piece like this one ; https://www.originalpartsgroup.com.au/genuine-hsv-vf-genf-genf2-superflow-spoiler-for-gt

I did search but many of the same threads were old, so hoping someone has done the swap.. Thinking of replacing boot lid lip spoiler with a R8 or GTS type spoiler colour matched to car. I’ve read various issues - mounting holes in middle of existing will not be covered, swap the boot, swap...

The RD would be perfect at basky!! Would you believe 12 years ago, you could go out to track, if nothing on, pay $80 and track was yours? No ambulance and you sign your life away but still safer than road - It was heaven. The more powerful bikes suck at basky for a fast B grader at least...

And so many pollies crying about hooning and ppl doing skids everywhere - but they can’t offer anything towards a solution by helping Powranna out…and of course, still nothing in the south either….

South now - saw your comment about Powranna. That’s fukn ****.

Can’t imagine the brakes on a car at Symonns, have ridden their 20 times and pads were new at the start of meet and glazed by end of weekend. That fast right got all the attention, but that little hump into turn 1 was so much fun, in weighting the bike. Baskerville is technical as - I’ve done...

Geezus - inflation sucks

Yes, just realised what I wrote - not going to happen lol.

I can accept the little things along the way, it is what it is and pay to play etc - the builder tells me the ls3 is over engineered to buggery and rods would be fine to 800kw - I have no idea… it’s the larger driveline items that add to the cost that worries me, ie if the gearbox / diff /...

She’s been babies…only 40k kms, last set of rears fitted 2019, full and over serviced history, etc… The SC kit includes injectors, fuel pumps, etc - but yeah, thought diff was going to be a question…

I’m Recently the lucky owner of a series 2 VF SS that has considerable money thrown at it. 3” stainless, crow cam, upgraded springs, stringer pushrods, new heads, etc a dyno readout says 360 rear wheel - don’t know if accurate, doesn’t matter. Thinking at some time, I’d like to bolt on a SC...

If it had a chrome or stainless exhaust- it’s likely to be in the advertised material ?

Do you have any pics, details of the advertised car ? If it’s advertised with 3” mantra but during getting things done now sports something different - it’s theft, and police need to be involved.

Had a ve Ute with similar mods - about 7 years earlier, exact same situation. Was written off in an at fault. Their first offer was of a standard VE (about $20k at time) and when I pointed out all the mods, they upped their offer to $31k - so I’ve got no issue insuring with them again / their...

I got prices from Shannon’s, youi, RAC, AAMI, Cole’s and NRMA. Yes, I shop around lol. To make a potentially long post short, I went with Cole’s. $50k even market 2016 SSv, they know it’s modified (didn’t ask to what extent), very limited use (-5000ks a year), no drivers under 40, excess $750...

Absolutely! When I took this stance with Mr B - they “pretended”? To not understand and replied that they didn’t follow what I was referring to (several times)…so I broke it down in pics and steps to make it crystal clear and advised - you can’t have it both ways with the fitment lip, it either...

You got it !!! If that lip was flush - there’s no argument. But the fact it almost clicks in place behind the bumper (which it doesn’t reach too) means it cannot fit properly.

Wow, so this has raised some excellent points and whilst I’m recovering from surgery I’ve done a bit of research. One thing that most ppl have over looked - if the design IS to fall short, that’s fine, it is what it is…I believe that they would win that argument. But by coming up short, the...

Absolutely agree - I’d almost go as far as saying some photos were taken at angles to give false impression and then when confronted, the real fitting photos came out as “these show you it doesn’t fit”. It’s hard to explain as well - that even if I was ok with the shorty spoiler, there is no...

Tripped over a Mr Bodykit lip ?? Nah…lol.

Thank you.

I’ve walked “the path” a couple times, and I’m usually a bit more hands on with screw ups like this - it’s just at present I’m dealing with a few things making it very difficult…

When you put it like that…. I’ll ask them one more time and if no joy I’ll start the process… I’m not only out the purchase, but also the painting and I’ve now got a few holes in the bottom of the cars bumper where we started fitting it…nope - you are 100% right. Cheers. Appreciate the kick up...

Do you really need the blade? Under the lid of console is an emergency start access - even if fob battery goes flat, can start from here?

Interestingly, some photos on their web site do show the spoiler being correct length and no gap from raised lip

The problem is their terms clearly state to return in original condition….by painting it, I think I have screwed ACL rights….not sure. I’ll email and specifically ask for a refund….see what they say.

And just to update everyone - Mr B has gone to ground on this matter. I’ve emailed a few questions highlighting the problems in various ways - it actually seems as if they are purposefully trying to confuse the issue by saying things like “the lip extends along bumper, over the first lip, then...

Posting up so people can manage their expectations. I bought the chin spoiler from Mr Bodykits for my VF Series 2 SS. Had it painted / cleared and prior to fitting it looked like it was going to suit the car really well. There’s a small 2mm outer lip that guides placement. Friend from...

I now wish I took a photo - it looked awesome.

Saw a 2015 SS VF parked up the other day and something really caught my eye in comparison to my 2016 model. The plastic bonnet vents were black but the inserts "louvres" were chrome. This looked better than the idea might sound, because it matched the front guard inserts. It also only caught...

Exactly - you get it!

They are nice wheels, not over stated but still classy. Those little cross hatches - I could see them a deep black or even car colour but I think there’s a fine line

Exactly - was wanting to brighten the underlying character a bit to better match in with vents etc - the clear cost is not gloss and machine finish looks to be a dull silver…but, I’m rethinking my approach and may retain the existing silver, but darken the inserts. Sounds fiddky I know, but prep...

Thanks for reply - will rethink my approach.

New owner of a 16 VF series 2 SS with walkinshaw 407 kit. Cars is red but wheels are silver alloy with black accents - so they are stock as far as I can research. Wondering if anyone has attempted to polish the alloy / silver parts of the wheels ? Leaving the black side accents ? I feel all...
