Yeh, I love the Grange wheels too... I'm pretty fussy when it comes to wheels... Can't be too popular, can't be too wanky, and have to look good! HAHA!

Looks good mate. Nice photos as always. What are you standing on to get the 'semi-ariel' views?

Thanks mate, just held the camera high in the air and shoot... First few times you get it, you don't get the car central.. But practice makes perfect... Im getting good now and getting it first time! HAHA!

What crap photos!

No wonder you cant get it in Street Machine! hehehehe

I know! Practice will make perfect i guess!

makes me sad that im selling mine, you better get some cutting compound on those headlights there starting to go yellow like every other VT VX commodore

The headlights are already a bit pitted and ordinary looking... Photoshop made them look a lot better! HAHA!

very tidy, well done.
Love the black vt/vx, i got a vx berlina in black but the bastard is too hard to keep clean!! the yellowing headlights are a real pain in the ass

there is a mob on heatherdale road in ringwood that sells all aircon stuff you might be able to save some bucks through there possibly even rebuild yours seems a lil expensive to me

Hi there - I have identical car...calais VT, 5.0, black and on gas.

My air-con has failed. mate who knows stuff says aircon compressor seized...certainly made a huge bang when it let go.

Tossing up if to fix....quoted about $1300-$1500 all up.

I was not overly impressed with its 'coldness'...a mazda 121 I hired at the time was far colder.

So - assuming your air con ok...how cold does it get? When on does the compressor outlet pipe ice up a bit? At all?

..... cheers

Matt

Hey Mate,

Yeah, mine does get pretty cold... Enough to cool the car down to a bearable temp.... Not as cold as my GF's VT though, her car is Silver with a new gas system. It is instantly like ice!

She had her Heater core replaced and got a whole new air con for $1000.. The heater core on its own was $600... This is in a V6 Though...

This was at Ferntree Gully Radiators.

Yeah, I reckon the Silver/Black thing is the biggest thing.... My old SS Ute was black and the air-con blew cold air but never got the cabin cold (Like other cars of lighter colour can do)

I think my compressor/ gas etc etc is old and probably needs a service when compared to the brand new system in the VT. But its not that much different for me to warrant spending money on, it cools me down enough, fast enough...

I dont run the A/C all that much as its gutless as when on gas and with the A/C on! LOL
