A new happy owner

[Ciscas]

Hi guys, I just got a 2004 Monaro LS1 and all I can say is wow. It just puts a smile on my face every time I drive it,- which is very often. It's got a sports pack, not that I would feel the difference really cause all my previous cars were quite "normal".
Anyway I'm not gonna bother you with things you already know. Instead I got a little question about interiour parts, where to find them? I had to take of the panels on the back of the front seats to fix the tilt mechanism and unfortunately I broke the white plastic clips which keeps them in place. Tried to search websites but no joy - yet

Thx mate.
Well, I'm Danish but living in London primarily because of work. However my exwife is moving down South to Ringwood with our duaghter so I'll probably be based a bit here and there.

[Well_Fans]

the part numbers you need are listed in an earlier thread on here iirc. Someone was explaining how to grease up the seats to stop them squeaking, pretty sure he broke a couple of clips and had to order up replacements and included the info on what to order.

Hello and welcome to the forum, or should that be Hej and Velkommen

Nice to see people chimming in with helpful responses. That's what I love about this forum.

As I usually say to new members, get some pictures of your car posted.

Welcome mate The retaining clips you require are GM part# 92140918. They come in packs of two, so a pack for each seat.
Edited to say the clips are designed to break when removed so you'll need spares if you ever do DIY on your seats and you just need to order them from your approved Monaro/VXR8 dealer, they're about £4 a pack.

Nice, thank you very much. You've made my day. I'm glad you say that because I thought I was getting really clumsy when I broke those. I don't know wher you guys get this information but I am seriously impressed.

[Ciscas]

OH yeah Tempy, I'll get some pictures.

Very nice However be sure to give the car petrol, they're not keen on cups of tea

[Ciscas]

Yeah, I fill it up about twice a week

I can see that what you guys do to your cars is wwaayyy out of my league. But I am very impressed with the knowledge you have.

Welcome Ciscas! Good choice of colour - not many of us Impulse Blue CV8s around in the UK.

I'll wager that you're into the modding game within 6 months

P.S.
I see you upgraded your brakes - good move!! The stock brakes are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I went straight for APs and they are quite, quite awsome

Naaa, i'll give him four months

[Ciscas]

Yeah it sure is something I started thinking about. Actually I was already looking at Monkfish' website before I got the car. Those AP brakes look very nice indeed and maybe a remap, suspension, CAI, ....
Then I started reading this forum and I have realised that you guys are playing a totally different game
Bloody superchargers and engine rebuilds, sigh....maybe one day.
