well cleaning the filter didn't help. it misses more and more under load. will have to try injector cleaner tomorrow.

plugs and leads just replaced. coils swapped around. just found the air filter clogged. cleaning that now. see how that goes but just in case may it be the o2 sensor or afm?

hi. have a vt v6 that only misses while driving. while in idle there is no miss but when you start to drive it misses. mechaninc 'thinks' it's an injector but that should miss in idle too!? maybe afm? or o2 sensor? should i reset the ecu? if so how do i do it? thanks for any info!!!

JUST LETTING YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN ISSUE OF TOP GEAR MAGAZINE WAS RELEASED THIS MONTH. MY WIFE BOUGHT ME A COPY YESTERDAY. IT'S A GOOD READ SO FAR. HAVEN'T FINISHED IT YET. IT'S BLOODY BIG. :w00t:

I'm just wondering if they are a good car or not? My mate has offered to sell me his next year. It's in immaculate condition. Only has 57,000km's on the clock at the moment. Red in colour. Well maintained. He'll probably want around $15k for it. Is it a car worth buying?

here's a pic of them both..................

well i just got a dog..... well 2 actually. I went to the local RSPCA this morning and there was a car sitting in front of me. we were just sitting there waiting for the place to open when i suddenly saw a dogs head pop up in the back........ A GERMAN SHEPHERD! A went up to the owner and asked...

you'll need the v8/turbo rotors to fit the calipers. plus the 1" master cylinder.

well i've watched it. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great storyline. great SFX but needs more. I can't wait to see more episodes. KITT is hot and is voiced by Val Kilmer, but doesn't have the sarcasm of the original. all in all a must watch show.:thumbsup:

Knight Rider 3000 KITT IS BACK!!!!!!!!! :bow: :w00t: :dance: :thumbsup: so many emotions running wild, i think i'm getting horny too!!!!! I just got myself the movie length premiere of the new series. K.I.T.T is still known as K.I.T.T as he is Knight Industries Three Thousand now. I'm...

427 is enough for me. Same as the corvettes. I worked with a bloke who put a 454 in a statesman. Had to put chains across the motor to hold it in. Then everytime he changed gears he'd have to hold the steering wheel almost full lock to the right or the car would change lanes or run off the road.

Isn't seagal a 7th level dan in his chosen martial arts? I reckon seagal for the win.

I'm very sceptical of cross breeds, mainly when it's not known what the cross is with. The only problem with pure breds is the cost. Worth it for a good dog. I've seen German Shepherds around $600 - $1000. Not too bad I suppose considering a working kelpie can be in excess of $2000, not that i...

well my kids are 4 and 2 years old. I was thinking of a kelpie, but they need a lot of exercise. I know most dogs do but kelpies are always on the go. My parents had one and so did a friend. I really only have an hour a day and all weekend to spend on the dog. I'd like to take it in the truck...

I don't trust dobermans or rotti's, although i love rottis, with kids. Boxers are too stupid and active for my liking. And i don't want a dog where i have to tip slobber out of my shoes :p

i'm planning to get a dog soon, but I'm not sure which type to get. I'm thinking of a German Shepherd. I love Blue Cattle Dogs too. I want to be able to train the dog to guard property and family. Must be good with kids. Not overly destructive. I like medium to large dogs. Good temperment...

i just found out the bloke is allowed $400 a f/night for whatever he wants, which i know is pretty well all spent on drugs. But he hocks his possessions to get more. His wife then pays the next week to get his possessions back. His daughter got an iPod for her b'day and a week later he hocked...

yeah i'm pretty tempted to dob them in. Problem being that these government depts don't do bugger all about kids who are beaten up and end up dead, what are they likely to do for kids who aren't beaten up. I have no faith in child services.

i just heard a bloke i know and his wife are expecting another child. The problem being that he's somehow on disability pension when he's only had surgery for gall stones. His wife has never worked a day in her life and is 28 years old. He hasn't worked in over 12 years but has only been on...

try some of that spray to help fan belts grip.

why is everyone saying HD-DVD is ceasing? All I've read here is that Toshiba aren't producing anymore players. Doesn't mean no one else is.

You should only use Royal Purple on new engines ONLY after the first service. I had to research the stuff for a customer. It'll create leaks if you suddenly start using it in a car that's already done some km's. And if you use it on a fresh motor befor it's first couple of services then your...

i still think Blu-ray will die. History will repeat itself, remember Beta video? Microsoft will incorporate HD-DVD into computers. Whats Blu-ray got apart from movies? Also Pixar has left Blu-ray and gone to HD-DVD from what I read.

yes he's a good bloke to know. He keeps getting offered a job at Rocket Industries but he doesn't want to move back to Sydney. He wouldn't be popular on here though as he thinks the 5.7L and 6L are absolute crap.

It's all who you know. A friend of mine builds engines in street and drag car for $1000 plus parts. He also resprays cars in acrylic or 2pack. For me he'll do a car in acrylic for $1000 plus paint or 2pack for $2000 plus paint. Twice that for others. And that includes all straightening. He...

for non turbo applications put the head on. if you are going to turbo then don't put the head on, stay with the single cam head, it'll have better air velocity. I researched the arse out of this idea for myself.

all older v8s run 20w-50. being stroked and oversize pistons makes no difference. you can't go thinner oil now as it'll affect the gaps in your big end bearings. stay with the thickness you are using. you can try different brands if you have to but if you aren't using oil and the car is running...

it would have been cheaper to build it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here's mine. the one of ned kelly is a work in progress. he is getting his arms put on with twin pistols smoking and getting the waist down done too. plus a singed aussie flag behind him.

i'm the same. i have a new kitchen and the bathroom just needs a little face lift which i'll do myself, new vanity and toilet cistern and new shower screens. I'm doing all internal work such as cornices and painting. and i'm doing all rendering myself. plus paving, tiling, and landscaping too...

my mate just built a twin turbo V8 VL not long ago. off the clock in 3rd gear. estimated top speed just over 300kms/hr. loses traction at 180km/hr. hell it loses traction every gear whether you go up or down. he sold it to an older rev head who only drove it for a week and is now too scared to...

just incase you didn't know, the name of the silver paint is Asteroid Silver :)

umm yeah. about 4 hours away.

I am finally in the process of buying my first home. It is the most nerve racking and stressful thing. I got knocked back for a mortgage from one bank because of the interest hikes they didn't want to take a risk especially considering the POSTCODE! Then i had to wait for assessment from another...

I also had the nickname Red Neck in school cos when i got embarrassed my neck would go red. Also Chaffe cos on a school hike around Mt Kosciusco i got chaffing on my thighs and had to walk 25kms in my underpants. Not my finest hour i can tell you. But got ladies attention!!!!

a mate lived in a suburb on the central coast called Wattanobbi.

Grinspoon Killing Heidi Machine Gun Fellatio several others but too trashed to remember.

my mates last name is strappazon......... you work it out! I had the nickname Pearl for a while cos I gave a girl a pearl necklace *cough*.

i lived on Bogan Rd.

with AWD too. HELL YEAH! That'd be a beast.
