I just got back from Adelaide.
One Saturday night was just heading hoem from the city to my brother's house to the south east.
Came across a whole heap of Commodores heading the same way, then I realised it must've been a club cruise or something.
Problem was that I was driving my bog stock BA falcon ute (company car) with no hubcaps. Ok, it's bright red & has an LSD, but it also runs LPG which means it's only got 156kW instead of 182.
Couple of the SS drivers wanted a run, so I only took off normal.
But there was one VN V6 (a pretty rundown stocker with a muffler) with P plates (of course) who just kept on annoying me cutting in & out of my lane & generally getting in the way.
We were both at the front of the lights, so about 5 sec before the lights changed I started a burnout (proper duallie not any of this single spinner crap) then took off when the light went & lane changed in front of him (didn't take much time to get there).
For some reason he drove onto the centre median (dunno why, I was completely in front by now).
The guys in the commodore behind pulled up beside me at the next lights & had a good laugh with me. Said he was a bit of a stirrer & had said he'd done things to his car & how good he was. 
Now they had a story about a stocker Ford reaming him to put him in his place.
It's mainly these I've found who are the idiots, there are some pretty good guys amongst them too.
BTW, Nice looking Commodore Gary. Is that legal?

Chris Davey, thanks for standing up for the Soarer. Also this post started out saying I have a problem with commodore DRIVERS and the way they ACT in G'd up cars,
|
same could be said for jap cars and if its got a turbo it must be good  well thats wat 90 % of the driver say. jap and commo are just as bad as each other they both think there car is top shit

Holden motors out of holden cars are fine.
There is sum1 here who has a 308 powered celica i think
My dad put a red holden motor in2 almost everycar he has owned in the last 13 years (like 3)
A VW combi van : after we took it around australia he got tired of it being gutless so he put in a 202 red motor .
The truck : The fj45 landcrusier 235 red V8. it was mainly my car but he help and i did buy if off him b4 we did the conversion.
Datsun 720: This car was the most gutless desil ever . We did a trip around oz and we had a top speed of 90kms an hour.
when we got home he put in a few 202s a few 186s and had a 253 in there but transport wouldn't approve it.
The 202s would let go of pistions 1 and 5 under hard stress so they were shit but the other motors r fine .
Just my 2 cents worth

I wouldn't mind a 1jz powered VN Calais... With some proper suspension mods.
It would weigh a fair bit less than a soarer or supra.

My 202 Blue motor was very reliable even under hard stress you tell me having a it at 70km/h in 1st gear 3-spd colum shift manual isn't going to stress that motor? that thing copped a hiding at times and is still getting around TODAY with the same motor and hasn't been touched, so I think your wrong I also know someone to get well over 600,000kms with his HZ 202 red tell me thats a shit motor?
my 2 cents
gary your Commodore looks sweet

Well explain y we had 3 of them and they all had the same problem ??
They are well know for having this fault as the 186 and the 202 have the same block the only diff is the 202 has a longer stroke.
The last of the datsun was sold 4 $500 after i blew a hole in the side of the block pulling trees out of our driveway.

Does anyone think that maybe some commodore drivers aren't aware they are being wankers? 
This could be because most of the bagging goes on in forums other than Holden forums, so they will never find out, and all the while we drivers of high quality japanese technology get fustrated.
Alot of the commo drivers I see on the road think their cars are flamin' ferraris, but they may not realise, that to other motorists, they are tools?
Maybe we could make some bumper stickers and put them on commos, just saying something like "Just because you drive a Commodore, doesn't mean your king sh*t". 
Just a lil sumden sumden for you guys.

some of the Commodore drivers were really starting to shit me a few months back, so I was gunna get a sticker made up for the Camry, "I'd rather drive my Camry then push your COMMONWHORE!" but thought it would offened the decent Commodore drivers, there are some decent drivers with Commodores who don't go constantly thrasing there cars and harassing other people who don't drive Commodores, but still I don't see the Commodore as much of a sports car, it's like my car, a family car, I personally think the same, having a Commodore doesn't mean you have the right to go driving like a tool, it doesn't matter what sort of car you have there will always be something better in some way, I think some (not all) Commodore drivers think theres nothing better then a Commodore. Well I have bad news for you, there IS always something better

lol.... i thought these forums where a good change from my usual ccc (commodore cruise club) forums..... guess i thought wrong... im not bias in any way... well maybe a lil when it comes to fords but if a cars quick a cars quick.... watever ur name is with the soarer u really have to relax mate and realise people look at the way u are and say the same shit bout u... there this soarer i see al the time goin to n from work. just cos my commo's lowerd he looks at me like he wants to run every time... i guess he has a commodore for a weekend car :S for someone who cant even spell commodore right i spose i dont really need to argue.... u do realise that there are many many many faster commodores then ur soarer, there are even faster soarers then ur soarer. there are faster fords, rotorys,diahatsu's then ur soarer... that fat pipe hangen out the rear of ur car is just an invitation for run's.... i sometimes is the driver of one of those commodores with the carload off fools, im guessen u dont have enough friends to fill ur car n go out n have fun on a friday or saterday night... its all good each to his own.... maybe u should de-rice the soarer if u dont want the attention....

Is the HFV6 the twin cam pushrod or is it quad cam?
Perhaps I'm thinking of the Gen4 which is meant to be twin cam pushrod.
I'm sure it will have a lot of power and good torque throughout, the valvetrain is the biggest problem with the VN> V6s, so as long as they keep their tolerances down (I'd like to see that), use some very cool alloys and get some timing variation, it will probably be a good motor.
As for being up to a Toyota standard, I know the song's getting old but I seriously doubt that could happen. Maybe Holden need a Formula 1 team.

the v8 soarer is more expensive because of some of the extra options it has over the TT but I certainly wouldn't be calling it better.
TT's shit all over them for pace. my old gz20 soarer was faster than a v8 soarer!

hahahaha, are you serious!! vns have to be the biggest barges ever!
the 3.8 is comparable to a 4ac except 4ac has ohc, mine has 325,000, crabs has 350,000 plus, and a bloke who lives near me had 450,000 w/out rebuild! rockers rock: not
i drive a VY once a month, it is a piece of shit, the terra trip is the only good thing in it ( government car ) you cant even do standstills in em ne more! shit box
as for v8 4 cyl etc, horses for courses, 4 or 6 for me!

new v6 is quad cam,
to get a vy to do a standstill u need to fade the rear brakes a little first... u manage to get them hot once n from then on it should do em.... u need to bounce on the brakes sometimes.
by the way in reguards to the ohc v pushrod argument... it is alot easyer to implement an ohc setup on a strait 4/6/8 then on a v configuration engine.. the ecotech motor is just an evolution of the old buick v6 (vn thrugh vr) which was used in buick grand nationals.... there was a buick grand national released in america in the mid 80's... was quicker then the corvette of the time... oh n timing chains are much better then timing belts but thats just a cheep shot.

Ha ha, chains vs belts, yeah perhaps, if a belt breaks you is f--ked... unless it's a non-interference engine, like some Toyotas are...
I'm gonna stop now though, and do some research on this HFV6.

TT soarer 2.5L will beat a 4L v8 soarer quite easily.
cheap mods on the 2.5L are good whereas the v8's can't be modified on the cheap that well.
my gz20 soarer had a 2.5" exhaust press bent and 10psi instead of 8 when I beat the v8 soarer.

I like both model soarers, the TT now becuase I am getting one of those motors, but you can go past the sound of a Quad Cam V8 at full throttle, gets me hard every time.
And you have to admit, there is a lot more room for potential in one of those motors, considering the capacity and ease to bolt a S/C on... 
Not bagging the 1JZGTE, sweet as motor, just i feel that Jap V8's are all class with effortless power and monstrous tourque

Um Holden, I don't know if you realised it's 2004. Toyota have had Quad Cam V6's since late 80's early 90's in camry's.
Holden with a new V6?
Big deal. They are merely catching up.

Not to defend holden or anything becuase i am a firm believer that they build poo for a living...
But people say that Toyota and mitsubishi have had items like IRS and DOHC and QUAD CAM for ages but that really doesnt mean shit when you put all the power through the front axels...

The fact remains your opinions are soo biased its not funny so lets drop the topic right here, no one on this forums is ever gonna say that a commodore is a better handling car than a camry, which is designed here i might add...

I'm not biased. I've driven them, read alot about them, then formed a opinion. If Japanese cars were crap (and some are) I don't mind stating it.
The link was to let people read and form there own opinion.
Go to http://www.carsurvey.org and read about how great these Commodoress are. Check out the VT to VY, they are best.

1990 Toyota Camry CSX from Australia and New Zealand
Previous Next
A great practical open road performer
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car it was incredibly in need of some serious TLC and due its high kms it has had many problems:
2 broken windscreens.
Blown head gasket after 330,000kms, engine replaced with a higher output RAV 4 engine.
Oil leak.
Broken gas stays.
Seizing throttle pedal.
Front shocks are stuffed.
Rear suspension bushes needed replacing.
Anti-sway bar came loose.
General comments?
Even after many problems, I think the car is totally comfortable on long trips, lots of room for passengers and luggage, and with plenty balls to drag off boy racers.
But the controls are very straight-forward and it tends to handle like a truck sometimes. Though my car is very quick I reckon, cause I've pulled a 180kph run and it does mean handbrake turns.

Performance/handling / reliability
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has had alternator, idler pulley, and water pump replaced. Also the frond and rear suspension was upgraded to FE2 with urethane bushes. performance was enhanced by a sports exhaust, cold air intake and power chip!
General comments?
The car handled and performed excellent with these modifications. 215/65/15 tyres, directional are a must if you need traction and cornering at speed. Seats have a problem twisting and can be fixed by placing washers underneath rear center seat mount. Keep these vehicles serviced well and you will be rewarded with excellent reliabily! My Vn has been punished, but has been looked after and my friend is getting a great run out of it still!

I'm assuming from that thread, your trying say that Camrys are just as crap as Commodores?
If that's the case, have a look at the kms.
The camry has obviously had a hard life (the dude mentioned it was in need of TLC) when the dude bought with 300,000 plus kms on the clock.
The VN acquired his with 130,000 kms.
Your post doesn't prove Camry's a bad car. It just shows that a badly looked after car is going to have problems, which is expected
What my link to the carsurvey site was supposed to illustrate, was that while other cars can have their problems, Holden Commodores have more problems that occur more often.
PS I don't own a Camry
PSS I love cookies

i would much rather a commodore over a camery too... mind u look at the difference in price for some of the parts mentioned.. an idler pulley is like 3 dollors from the wreckers (if they charge u) a water pump is like 100 brand spanken new and an alternater is a couple-a-hundred.... my commo has just clicked 210,000 kms and has a pretty hard life. it started as a fleet car carrieing around 300 kg's of gear on the back for about 100,000 kms. then was driven like a baby untill 170,000 now i got in it and killed the thing.... untill i owned it all it got was a tranny rebuild due to my dad towing in Drive instead of 3rd.... i have replaced sway bar link rods, w/pump, f/pump, radiator, flex plate sence i have owned it.. it is currently in need of a LSD diff rebuild as im way past starting to lose 2 wheel action on burnouts but that can wait.... i dont wanna say this cars better then that etc but when i look at wat i would have to pay for the same parts for a camery i kno im better off.. i have also put a 2.5" cat back zorst on ($210 brand new) and lowerd it in the rear ($50 bux 2nd hand)... the range of performance parts availiable for my car is amazing compared to a camery plus the fact that holden/hsv make some of the best looking wheels u can buy.. although i think my car is shit and i hate it i would much rather drive it then a camery. btw is it the v6 camerys or magnas that u need to remove the inlet manifold to replace s/plugs??

Are you quoting the cubans from vice city??
And according to my previous statement i would take a commodore over a camry any day...becuase of that simple fact.

I went home last night thinking about what you said about FWD and then came in this morning and saw the above post and I think your right.
I drive a FWD car and it is GHEY!  On the weekend I'm going to buy myself a VN Commodore because it's got RWD. 
No I'm going to buy 2! Yes 2 RWD Commodores. One VN and one VB because their the best ones! Yes! The Billy has made a decision!
Thankyou for making me realise that FWD are GHEY and all that matters when choosing a car is that it's RWD. I seriously don't know what I've been thinking all these years and suddenly, one sentence, and it all makes sense.
Thanks again. 
You da mang mang!

Time slip ? i dont have one but i can take a photo of me standing next to my car with all the listed mods with a sign saying "gary is a winging vagina" good enough? and What i meant was where there should be an avatar Photo it did say "Necomer" " now he has posted on the account a few times and it says " Occasional Poster"

UMMMMM look at what you are buddy you are also an "Occasional Poster"
maybe people try run your car all the time due to the fact that you have fully sic CANNON MUFFLER
commodores do what they are intended they are a family car but as they get older/cheaper people can afford them and do them up
sure there are some people that act like wankers but ive seen wankers driving soarers
people also treat soarers like they are a sports cars by putting big GT wings and shit they are also not intended to be a true sports car they are a cruiser sort of car why would such a big car be a sports car? they maybe be able to handle alright but why would a sports car ajustable suspension????
YOU are also a wanker like the majority of commodore drivers that think they are the shit
thats my 2c

Ok cool thats for the advice. Just as long as it's RWD.
I want the cred mang. When I'm with my Haitians mangs under the Harbour Bridge checking out each others rides and comsuming fresh cookies and ice tea on a Friday night, when someone comes up to my VB/VL or VN (have to decide which one ), I want my fellow street racer to go;
Street Racer: "Hey mang, dat ding powered from the rear hoops?"
Billy: "Mang, which cars aren't mang. Ssshhh, you know nar-ding dawg. Front hoopies are ghey"

Don't tell me that commodores aren't drift burgers! I just put a deposit on a VN, pick her up this Sat-dee.

or go 1 better n sell it n buy a s13/s15...
nah it aint hard to make a car into a drifer, just strip all weight possible then add a little where u need it (commodore in the rear) make sure u get a live axle rear end one n not an irs one (irs is poo) get a mini spool and a very touchy clutch, coilovers front n rear and ur just about set... ohh n u need stockies on the rear cos that seems to be the fasion now a days wif drift.... would smoke the tires alot more then most drift cars

what company do you know of that makes adjustable coilovers for commodores???
And once again, why farken bother, no one will ever accept it as a decent drift car becuase people live under the little ghey cloud that to drift you must have turbos or an N/A 1600 if you dont have either then you cant drift, which is bullshit if you ask me.
