I have it, I dont have it on the car tho, I like the idea of a POD, so.. I figured we shall see if we can make a pod as affective as a K&N and a Cold air.. But knowing sh*t all means I wont know if it's as/more effective Anyways, you can pick like a cold air intake up off ebay for like $90.. One on there now for buy it now.. Same guy also offers chip and cam packages and what not Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah the last one from the guy that has the buy it now one for 90 sold for 120, so Im guessing the others will go to around 100.. From what everyone says it seems to be a good price.. But meh

Go to your Holden dealer, and for a stock V6, give the man behind the counter $60 and tell him you need the V6 Supercharged Cold Air Intake minus the bottom of the box. He will give you probably $5 change. Works like a treat, and only needs minor cutting of the air box which an idiot could do.

OK, PODs are legal, atleast in Vic so *shrugs* I asked the man that does the work to my car instead of CD player this week had to spend $400 on getting all them stupid little things fixed up. Panhard rod brush, Stabilizer kit, Waterpump, then got all new seals and what not, she's running better now she aint leaking coolant everywhere :roll: Only prob is I havnt had time to mount that temp sensor anywhere, so it's still on the air filter, only thing that seems to happen is when I start up the engine light stays on for like 10 seconds then goes off Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha it was only like 2 months ago now that i did the water pump in my VS. Bloody thing went back and forward to the mechanic near work and he couldn't pick a thing, i replaced the thermostat and gasket, thermo housing, radiator flush and about 50 bloody drains and refills with a full bleed each time. Turns out the wanker mechanic didn't notice the fact that the water was leaking from the pump. I had to tell him... which would explain why the water was just sitting there in the top hose getting red hot. Anyway V6's use water pumps and alternators. Soluble mate if ya ever cook an alternator, let me know. In about 30 seconds i can tell ya how to fix it. P.S. Only a week and a half to wait now. All new panels, bonnet, and headlight are on order.

Latest News Car will be ready on Wednesday. All the parts are in and painted in PPG paint and baked as per usual, they just have to put the bonnet back on now and re-allign the bumper and 1/4 panel to it and we're laughin. They were even so kind as to repair the damage that the ex did when she decided a good parking spot was a rock wall. The second i get it back, i'm goin to town on it... oh and SKIDS!! (on private property of course) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
