Some pretty big numbers claimed by Circle D if 6 speed is important to you. I think a couple of auto shops in Aus say around 800hp at the crank, so Circle D's 1000hp/1100hp at the wheels is a huge claim! If I was ever in your position, I'd be capping the HP to keep the box if those claims were...

Fast forward to 8.20 for a 98 vs e85 N/A dyno.

And the steam from the exhaust in winter is outrageous!

According to dyno's I've seen, not a great deal, though I have no doubt I'd be able to tell what mine is running on if I didnt know what it was filled with. Engine feels more lively and a bit more powerful. I'd run it all the time if it was a bit cheaper. Seems to be rapidly diminishing returns...

Pump is different. Recently had my L77 pump replaced at 270k km's, when it failed me on the first day of the year!

I've consulted with the Oracle. It's your fuel pump!

I had a similar issue. When I pressed the release button, I could hear the motor trying, but it just wouldn't open. I replaced the actuator which solved the problem.

PM'd.

More semi pointless info - Stock S1 auto wagon 2.92 diff, 243kph on gps, early 250's on the speedo, somewhere around 4000rpm and climbing at perhaps one km/sec. Could have probably gone 270kph without a limiter. I had it promptly removed but never tried again, praise Jesus.

I wish that I'd never read 9 years ago that lifters need doing by 100k. That statement whether true or false has had free rent in my mind now for 253k! L77 is getting a little noisier these days, but no knocking on startup or anything crazy and it's fairly quiet when warm.

I can't help with your question as I bought genuine, but here is a pic of what mine looked like inside. I wonder if you have the same issue? https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/projector-headlight-lens-damaged.290490/

I still see them driving way to fast to jobs, lights on or off and every time I think, "you had better be chasing a terrorist in the act, or worse". Any less of a crime is not justifying to me that excessive speeding in suburbia is worth the risk to them and more so the public. Up until 2 or so...

I'm on my 3rd pair of Eagle F1 Supersport's (245/45/18). I have also rotated from front to back a pair of PS4s. For me, the F1's make me a better driver in the dry on the legal(ish) limit. PS4s a very close second, but for different reasons. I think F1's are a love or hate kind of tyre. Can't go...

I've had the wrong grade of oil put in by Holden. Don't remember if it was Dexos or not. Needless to say, I complained and had it redone with their Mobil 1, which was apparently reserved for HSV customers at a $100 premium.

Whats it reading at idle, not in drive with aircon off? Regardless, your getting good economy based on amount used. The fact 07GTS has bought up a potential reason as to the ultra low displayed usage, why not speak to Russo and get it checked. It's obviously not going to change what's important...
