Let's be honest: while Volkswagen owners aren't the only auto enthusiasts in Australia, they can proudly boast that they're members of one of the most fabled factory-performance fraternities in automotive history. From the impishly quick Polo GTI, to the demonically fast Golf R, VWs are revered for their rock-solid reliability and almost effortless ability to double and even triple their output with the right selection of components and proper tuning. Ultimately, it's a testament to how VWs are natural recipients for aftermarket parts, and this is especially true for exhaust systems.
Gearheads love to boast how fast their cars are, how much horsepower is under the hood and all the upgrades they've done to have cars that stand out. Until they've skipped a regular battery replacement and realise that nothing happens when turning the key. That irritating clicking sound and the short silence that follows has happened quite too often, leaving drivers stranded. To avoid the hassle and ensuing electrical problems, car batteries need to be regularly checked and maintained well before their expiry date.
Your car seat covers play a bigger role than you might think. Firstly, they improve your vehicle’s style, giving the interior a fresh and polished look. The right material also makes a huge difference in comfort during long drives, protects your seats from wear and...
Utes are an inseparable part of the Aussie lifestyle. They're equally adept on and off-road, have enough storage space for work or shorter bouts to the bush, and can be accessorised any way you want. But if tubs and trays aren't big enough for your purposes, time consider viable alternatives. Roof racks, in the design and capacity suitable for your gear, are the cheaper option and are as easy to install as they are to remove. While canopies are what you want when remodelling your ute into a mobile workshop, or need all the extra space when exploring the Outback for weeks on end.
Both storage solutions are meant for different use cases. Racks let you use tubs or trays for bulkier and heavier gear or equipment, but provide the extra leeway for accessories including tools, spare tyres or jerry cans. Varying designs, such as cage roof racks, double as durable and safe baskets that let you carry and tie down smaller items while offering better access and organisation. Moreover, they help with camping duties, providing the foundation for awnings and tents. This complements other camping accessories, such as annex matting for longer trips with friends or family.
Canopies have more design variations, but considerably up available space. They're best on a specially appointed tray (factory or tray conversion), use the whole tray length and width, and being enclosed and made of thick metal, offer better protection. Which of these you choose will be based on the gear you carry, where and how you'll be using your ute and the allotted budget.
Dirt bike enthusiasts in Australia know there’s nothing quite like hitting the trails on a Husqvarna. Whether you’re navigating rugged bush tracks, sandy dunes, or muddy trails after a downpour, Husqvarna dirt bikes are built to handle it all. But as any seasoned rider will tell you, maintaining your bike is key to keeping it performing at its best.
Utes are Australia's second-best-selling vehicle category, just behind SUVs. Their popularity boils down to the go-anywhere and pack-anything capability, and thousands of aftermarket add-ons to make the vehicle your own. They also deliver unmatched towing performance for week-long getaways with a trailer, campervan or boat at the back....

Although downsizing and efficiency are now the trend in car engines, they’re becoming more powerful, even when working with lower displacement or fewer cylinders. Engines that we used to frown upon just a few years back are now churning out 300+ horsepower in small 4-cylinder guises and rivalling big V6s and V8s that we've come to love. So, what do car makers implement to bump up horsepower figures, and can you do it too?
