There are still a few glitches to be sorted out with the transfer to a new server, Kylie. It's probably better if you create and use your own account with Photobucket or something similar and link to your gallery in that...

I actually like the look of the new Commodore wagon. Looks very Euro, which is fine in my books!

:(

There is nothing good looking about any of the Commodore range :)

Call me what you like :laugh: but i quite like the look of this Dodge Magnum SRT, 6L Hemi V8 grunt has some appeal to me. It really is just a Chrysler 300c wagon, but has a much more aggressive looking front on it. Pretty cool yet still wacky

see that would of been alright, IF they didnt make it look absolutely retarded with extended roof height at the back, if they had of kept the same lines it might of been quite nice, but no, they turned into some sort of honda crx/skyline bastard child lol

Agreed!

SUCH an awesome opportunity gone to waste ;)

If they had just put a little extra work into the C pillar and last window, that could have been something pretty special IMHO. I would love to know where that tailgate came from. (the height of which, is obviously why the roofline was raised)

Oh, and did away with those stupid looking guard cutbacks.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
