Pretty spiffy Acclaim you got there!

FINALLY gave the WH Stato some love.

Replaced the ailing standard front brakes with a set of AP Racing 4-pistons calipers, complete with 330mm HSV rotors and a set of pads I know nothing about.

Kit was cheap as chips to buy through a friend, and came with a braided hose already attached for each caliper – winning.

Next on the cards is:

You sure that rear seat is from a VZ? Looks like ‘Pewter’ in the photo, which is VT-VX1 … VX2 onwards got ‘Anthracite’ which was a darker, blacker leather.

If you REALLY want a set of seats, I’ve got a full set of leather seats to suit VT-VZ in Pewter, but I’m in WA

AH! … but I thought LJ’s had a color-coded metal part between the headlight and the centre grill area? I know LC’s were all one piece.

Edit: I also spy a color coded metal section between the grill and the bumper… still looks like a HB front to me? LC and LJ did not get the color coded bit there.

Work in IT as a Systems Administrator. Have held a range of jobs in the past – pallet stacker at TNT Express, landscape co-ordinator (glorified hole digger) for a local government agency, part-time call center operator (not the kind that calls your house, actually the kind that takes calls from lonely ladies!), property manager for the state…[Read more]

Clean as, and has some of the mods I’d also do – Stato dash, cluster upgrade, VT seats, chrome window surrounds, etc.

The HB looks pretty tidy too!

My aim with this originally was to just give it a spray can respray after hitting the rust with the orbital sander, clean it up and drive it till it dies… look where that got me!

I might end up putting this up for swaps in a few months and get another V6 Commodore to bash around in. Love little FWD Econoboxes however I miss having a larger car…[Read more]

In my old VR, I had the same issue with 2 of my windows – turns out the motor that drives the window mechanism was just about dead, purchased a complete set of new window regulators and replaced the lot, nice fast windows again.

Bang for buck, not really as it’s only a little 1.3L donk. It is possible albeit a little expensive to replace the little CG13 with the much more ample SR20, using bits and pieces from the Pulsar. I had considered it, but too much unrequired work was needed.

There are also turbo kits for the 1.3 (in varying stages of kit – ranging from just a…[Read more]

PM sent!

The 17s were way too big for the car, handled like a skittish mountain goat on cocaine. The SSS mags are a good compromise, and my options for decent tyres are almost endless!

Replaced the entire sunroof in the car last night, as the exising one did not wind open to slide back into the roof space – the replacement can/does, however it needs some…[Read more]
