If I had the money I would fly over to the west coast, purchase this and drive it back across the Nullarbor 😎

@78Giddo 2 года назад

I'd happily deliver it. 😃

That would be epic! I wonder how much fuel is per litre at Norseman and Nullarbor these days.

I've always loved the look of VE's and especially HSV's (Except for the HSV E3 GTS front end which looks a little overdone)... Manual is always the way to go with cars like this though the Auto is decent in the VE/VF series... Great video as always

Couldn't agree more! cheers Martin! this is definitely one of the best VE's i've had on

@Dan-rg7jj 2 года назад

You keep saying that the steering is doughy in these commodores. The fact is that almost no one upgrades the front sway bar to an adjustable one. When you set link pins to harder holes the best way to describe it is imagine if you're going along a freeway. Try to change lanes and the touch is so minimal you have to be careful as you can overseer. I'm used to it and like it much better in these long cars. It's also better for cornering too in terms of body roll and just grips and transfers the weight to the cornering side. The adjustable link pins are beefy too and help along with a strut brace. Will never drive another commodore without a bar fitted.

@pirateh00kar 2 года назад

What brands do you recommend?

@Dan-rg7jj 2 года назад

@@pirateh00kar Not sure how much difference there would be between brands but whiteline is probably the largest and been doing bars and links in Australia the longest. There's also superpro. Harrop also do a larger front knuckle for vt to vz cars. Comes with a suv/lt truck bearing and was orig designed 4 road racing, it even relocates the tie rod end 4 less bump steer and correct geometry on lowered cars.
