Vlad's rides thread

wlel it is a berlina and still has a lot of sound deadening in it, but yeah going off what you said above for the VR its not that surprising.... and hes probably 80kg or so, so your looking at 1160kg without driver.

[vlad01]

that must have been hard to do dude.
any chance you want to part with that cruise control module?

not really, my tools of choice. angle grinder, steel cable and my brother's ute made quick work. It was quite fun actually.


I might have some modules in pieces. The one in this car had become dodgy in the last few moths getting stuck on coming over hills. The shaft is probably missing teeth inside it.

[vlad01]

how is the VR driveline heavier than the VN/P ?

its interesting to see though, my brothers VS Sedan stripped of all interior and only race fuel tank and such, and with 202 and trimatic, plus nos bottle, it 1240kg with him in it!!

No my VR's driveline is lighter than the auto VP yet the VR still ends up heavier overall.

VR been manual?

[vlad01]

yeah its manual.

ah OK. should have drilled some key points in the crushed area, hitched it up to a 4-by and tried to pull it out (because you can - redneckz stylez porta packz)
...........shame about the CC module, am on the hunt for one. pinch-a-part has a few and they seem to be getting light on the ground now.

[Holden202T]

yeah your not wrong, I have one from a vn/vp and a VX and they all have some sort of issue!

[psyolent]

k............my VX and the wifes VX - both CC modules are great - work awesome.
seem to be about as rare as VN V6 Calais L3 clusters

[vlad01]

I have heaps of the cruise control holdens, all been perfect. My vacationer one is the first one I have had start to bugger up. worked perfect 99% of the time, rare occasion got stuck on in recent months.

Done extremely well considering the unit has over 400k of use.

I have some working ones Greg if you want, they are just opened up. I did that so I could pick the cleanest parts of all of them and paint up one for the VP.

I also bought a 100 pack of M3.5 screws just for the covers

[psyolent]

vlad, yeah i'll grab one if thats OK dude. can come for a drive.
