Anyone think its hypocritical that the new ads from holden or show aspects of reckless or hoon activity.

First you've got the SV6 in the testing area with the guy absolutely redlining the shit outta the car.

Then you have the SV6 on the road with the guy revving it and smiling the more he revs it hmmmmmmm do that in northbridge for a bit and bam reckless hoon activity.

Now i just saw the latest SS V8 ute ad and its got him doing a wild burnout. Even though you can't see the burnout in the act but damn listen to the noise its not hard to guess what it is.

Now don't you think we could somehow say look ads on tv promoting bad driving should be taken off. Maybe then Holden might weight in on the hoon laws being crap since their cars probably make up the majority of hoon behaviour.

yeah like we need more babying and censorship on tv.

Lets honeycoat the roads even more....they already assume that all drivers are retards that cant handle anything other than 1.8 N/A's going at 60kms per hour.

Angel, yep..the thunderstruck ad was toned down.

the commercial TV advertising rules are quite restrictive in terms of what can and can't be shown.

my current favourite is the sportivo "body-rollo" spamry that weaves all over the road to avoid LSD inspired attack-cones.

then hangs a sweeping left hander, again on the wrong side of the road.

moral: don't drive on LSD, and if you do, make sure it's in something inconspicuous like a camry. no one would suspect a grandad of taking acid.

yer i agree PHATr32 if you see next time his speedo, its only at just under 60km/h, its all sounds and movements and camera angles/shots

but yes it does resemble maybe a hoon, but remember unless you under 25, your not reagarded as one, as what happened with the 36yr old man caught doing 184km/h, but no hoon law inforced.

haha i guess since it's under 60kms per hr it's all good... ok then next time i'll rip it to 60 in 0.01 seconds with a bit of camera angle / lighting and it wont look so hoon-like :P

but it's a pretty ironic commercial though i'll agree for sure, fcuking burning it out like a tornado means i guess it's ok to do that / can be done with a car like that. it sure does convey the wrong image.

the holden thunderstruck ad was taken off because it was supposedly irresponsible or whatever. i think the new holden ad with the ute with "power to burn" is great coz its just a dig at the governments ridiculous laws. you'll notice at the beginning of the ad you see a private property sign. you can do what you like on private property so they can show what they want.

always gotta love the ****wit comments when a topic arises about holdens.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
