    ended up going for 8k Uni... but I had nowhere else to store it so it had to go. the plan is to either keep my Impreza as a daily and buy a VK to build a grp 3 mock up with a L98 or buy a VE SS

    It was diplicolor high temp paint Kanga. Roughly just looking at it there is about 2k worth of damage. Needs a new loom, injectors, coil packs, throttle cable ect

    coil packs set fire due to the paint on them, I was told it was safe and it clearly wasn't and now the company who told me it was safe if excepting no responsibility because the staff member who told me it was safe if now saying he warned me not to use it but I did it anyway

    Cheers kanga, still has a bad lifter tick so I think I might put some tie bars in it soon and upgrade the hot side of the turbo kit and go a gt42

    1000hp between the 2 cars kanga haha Finally got it started but there must be a vac leak somewhere because its idling at 3500rpm... I did manage to finally upload a video of it though from before it left wa https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QiJdBGlC_yA

    that was the plan Uni but I just really want it back together, but to paint the rocker covers ect its just a matter of a few bolts for the turbo and dump pipe so I can do that later. the whole motor is together again, manifolds are on but just need to be tightened... so all that's left is to...

    the ss is slowly getting put back together every 2nd sunday, gaskets are changed, heads are back on, just need to move the abs line (it was starting to melt under the manifold) and fit the turbo/exhaust and its hopefully all good again. a mate of mine is currently polishing the turbo too and...

    since half of my engine bay is out of the car I decided to get rid of the aircon :)

    new daily - vx ss

    that's the thing, it went back with the same issue and I was told it was fine just general ls1 lifter tick... its getting done properly now because im doing it myself. I had to laugh because I posted it on a few facebook pages and had a few fordhold fan boys going off trying to tel me I was full...

    new daily - vx ss

    yeah it pissed me off! heads are off now getting machined, head gaskets are here to go on, ordering new head bolts and pushrods today and it should be back together next week

    new daily - vx ss

    the motor was ticking since I bought it off Justem Brown at Fordhold (same guy who owns the skid cars wanna go and struggling), lacked a heap of power and was even smoking and was towed back to them to sort out the problem while under warrantee and I was told the car was fine and its just...

    Zared does awesome work but gets really busy. the car is sitting in a mates workshop on the central coast about to be pulled apart in the next few days to replace the head gaskets after it over boosted to about 28psi and blew the gaskets out... just hoping my heads are still fine

    hey SlammedddBleh I was living in Mandurah but moved to Sydney a week ago. a few thing have happened with the SS, it was finally finished and put on the dyno to be tuned but ran into a problem with a stuck exhaust valve so I have to sort that out before it gets retuned, Al Gibbs and Zared Fox...

    new daily - vx ss

    slowly getting the SS put together, not much left to do on my end. The SS goes into a workshop next week to get the last of it finished like the oil lines, fuel system, finish the exhaust and tune it. this is what it looks like as on tonight

    new daily - vx ss

    Since I started to put the SS back together today I thought I should share the new plans for PSI DV8. I had a lot of trouble selling the vortech kit because I refused to sell it for 2k! so I ended up finding a guy who wanted something different from what he had so he agreed to swap my blower...

    so this is how the SS sits at the moment, no exhaust, no blower, no front bar lol hopefully I will be able to start piecing it together again next week

    new daily - vx ss

    it's been a little while since I have posted anything and that's mainly due to the fact that I haven't touched the SS in a while, but that is all about to change as of next week since I finally got rid of the blower! I'm not going to spill the beans yet but the SS is going in a different...

    new daily - vx ss

    it started before we started to retune it, it eased up a touch after changing things and messing with the tune but when you hit 3k and hear BANG BANG BANG and have flames shooting out of the exhaust there is an obvious problem. so far kanga I could have bought a ve ss and then added a cam and...

    new daily - vx ss

    it started backfiring and I thought it was just the plugs, then it started to not rev when I hit the throttle but no codes or anything came up. we changed the plugs, leads, coil packs,tps ect but it still had the throttle issue and was miss firing... plus there is a vac leak somewhere that I...

    its an awesome clutch Dirbatua, lighter than a standard one! ok guys time to let you all know whats happening.. I picked the car up from getting the clutch done and the car was awesome until I pulled into my street and the car died! I didn't think much of it and thought it was just the plugs...

    [/URL][/IMG] so this showed up yesterday and gets fitted on Thursday, I kind of don't want to fit it now though, the thing is a work of art :D Kanga im not overly worried because the car gets driven once or twice a week usually, if I get a yellow I will just go about getting it engineered

    thats my reasoning for the twin plate Tones, my hd clutch still has probably 70% left on it but I might as well upgrade now while the box is out

    new daily - vx ss

    tick performance Tones. I got 2 quotes before I started looking towards the USA, a single plate that can handle the power (but is way to heavy for my back to deal with) was 1200 and a twin plate that had a standard clutch feel was 2200... both not fitted

    spent a bit of time on the ss today, managed to fit the new K&N pod filter, put the cooler pipe back on properly and connected everything to make my oil pressure gauge work

    just got the deal of a lifetime! a brand new McLeod RST twin plate clutch good for 800rwhp and feels like a stock clutch for $1080 delivered to my door :D

    new daily - vx ss

    Cheers tones but it doesn't look that good at the moment, when the cooler pipe came off it pushed it towards the blower pulley and the bolt that holds the pulley in has cut into the pipe and has sent shards of metal all over the bay... gearbox is fine Uni, its the slave cylinder, $2600 and it...

    went for a drive yesterday to pick up some semi slicks, came out of the street normally, started making boost in 2nd and then a chain of events happened, clutch slipped bad, the rpm hit 6k (has a 4k limiter so im stumped with that), boost gauge hit 10psi... after that happened I had no boost and...

    My tuner gets back on Friday Tones and I am getting my new set of extractors/cats fitted on Tuesday I think but the road tuning will start before the weekend and will not only be going better but will sound a lot better too :) The sway bar links were removed on purpose Tones! All I can say...
