Ok so i plan on lowering my tsx just with the a-spec springs soon but the problem is my tires rub with 235′s on the rear. Now i have considered in getting the fenders rolled but i’ve heard it could cost anywhere from 75-120++ bucks per fender! so i just wanted to know if anyone would be of interest of renting it from me if i were to purchase one

Answer:

Here in CA you can have all four done for $150U US or less. Thats why when I saw one for sale locally, I bought it. I have never used fender roller but I can’t wait.

Can anyone help me with my central locking problem, as of like 3 days ago, it suddenly stoped working, and fuse is still fine, battery is fine, no clue where to begin from here

Answer:

If you follow the metal rod it will come to a black plast rectangle thing, this is the central locking motor. The Master one is on the drivers side and slave on the passenger side.

If you have a volt meter you can test if there’s power going to it when turning the key. If there is then its the motor thats gone. Would have a clue how much Holden will charge for it but it wont be cheap. Try a wrecker.

I have the v style grill on my cail any suggestions how to opelise it? Also my air con does not work. when ya press the button doesn’t click on – compresser ?

Answer:

It’s probably outta gas. When the gas level is low the compressor won’t engage. If you get the gas replaced get it dyed so you can find the leak.

Yeh call the place that re-gassed is and ask if they dyed the gas – if they did use a UV light to look for the bright green dye to find the leak. Either that or it’s an electrical fault – you can check the compressor clutch by connecting 12 volts directly to the wire going into the compressor. If it clicks in then maybe one of the pressure switches is faulty.

havent actually taken notice and measured.
what is the standard speakr size in the front doors? and is there space to go bigger without modifying the door cards?

Ive noticed that the boot is rather shallow, so my original plan of 2 15′s is gonna be a tight squeeze..its gonna be a custom setup though.

Answer:

fronts you’ll fit 6″ easily, rear you’ll fit 6.25″ easily. i have 2 12′s in the boot, you wont fit much more in.. you could do 15′s if you really need the extra 3 inches.

If you take the spare wheel out, use that cavity for a nice sub……

It’s probably the best place to mount one, both for looks and sound quality/effect

In my Calibra, I’ve installed Alpine 5 and 1/4″ splits up front on custom made bases, inside the door cards, but as stated above you can fit up to 6 and 1/2″ speakers.

Only problem with these, is that the hole on the door card will be too small and to get the best sound out, it would be best to enlarge them, otherwise you could just mount the speakers on the outer face of the door cards

Does the front quarter window need to come out to fit the drivers side window? Am having problems. The manual says to manipulate the window away from the lifting guide, then lift window out back end upwards. When reversing this procedure the rear guide rail attachment on the window will not fit in the window slot in the door (the slot comes in at the end) also the guide on the front quarter window gets in the way. It appears to need to be put in, over the window after it is in place.

Answer:

Yes, you remove the mirror, take out the front quarter window (is attached to main window guide) and then put in the main door window. Is a two person job as it is a bit fiddly.

Put the main window in and then rear guide rail. Finger tighten screws. Put front quarter window assembly in. Finger tighten screw.

First align the front quarter window with main window down. (test by shutting door, you will see a mark where it sat previously).

Next adjust the main door window (loosen the two bolts on the bracket attached to the window lifter, move slightly, tighten and test the window sits properly when the door is shut.) Check the other side window as a reference as to how it sits in the door seal.

Took two or three shots to align each. Saved $170 on fitting.
