    excess noise notice

    Highly recommend the varex mufflers. Even if you're not a fan of x-force, just use the varex mufflers on the rears and modify to fit your system. I got them fitted up after a cam install as I live in a quiet street on a hill. My cam is 234/112lsa/600lift and when the rear mufflers are shut it...

    Buying used/road worthy

    Yeah I totally over looked that. So in summary, it's certainly not worth buying one all ready 'done up'? I think most sellers won't be providing the RWC as they probably know the hassles :/ It is a pity, I'm moving to the US permanently in around 6 months time and was hoping to cruise...

    Hey all, Been looking for an old group c era ford or Holden. Anything from Xd/e to VB/Vk (not so much Vl) My biggest worry is getting these things road worthy (victoria) as I'm looking at ones in the 10-15k range so they do have some modifications to them. Nothing wild but enough to not...

    Hey guys, last night when I got home turned left into the drive way and I heard like a click sound from the steering wheel. It didn't change anything noticeable when I straightened and parked it. This morning when I left I noticed the steering has gone quite stiff when I turn left, and then...

    Mechanics worth $80+/hr?

    Fair enough guys, I wasn't having a bash, I just thought it sounded steep but with your arguments I take that back. Didn't think to factor in just the dollars to run the actual shop and employees and such. All I've really heard about the mechanic trade is that they get **** pay unless they own...

    Mechanics worth $80+/hr?

    Whats the going rate for fitting an EFI 5L cam with lifters and springs valve locks etc? I was told $1000, equating to $80/hr with a bit of cream. Sounds rich to me but what would I know.

    quick question, insurance write off? question =S

    If the chassis is twisted x amount of degrees or its too much damages to repair then i think that's when they write it off. If you had a good agreed value, I'd smash some more **** in, make some more dents and make it a write off :P

    I use about 5 machines in my whole split. Uncle (ex- Mr Australasia) and his mate (current Mr Australasia) are the same. Free weights are far better, more range of motion, uses stabilizing muscles etc. If you cant get the last few reps out, just drop the weight. I've never been told off but i do...

    Dam Flat battery and deadlocks on my Bimmer

    I liked my old cleveland, whenever that needed to be jumped, i popped the hood and the battery was right in front of me :) no covers, no bs. needed some decent sized leads to kick her over though. also broke into my XE many times with some wire :)

    I doubt you will get the compression required for the 286 by only touching the heads. 284 would be the largest. 286's sound cool :P

    Love doing these on the incline, great for inner/upper pec development. With any fly movement, IMO weight does not matter so much, its a squeezing exercise. I can flat bench 140kg (+20bar) 160 total and all my fly movements with the dumbbells don't break 30kg dumbbells, mid/high reps and slow...

    good work. i remember starting out when 25kg felt like a ton. now low-mid 40's un-spotted and high 40's almost 50kg with a spotter. Far better off sticking with flat bench DB;s instead of a barbell bench. by xmas u will be smashing the mid 30s :P
