    Default What should i expect to pay

    As the title suggests for what i would like to do to my stock vs 304.

    I'd like to rebuild the motor cos its done 220kms Just back to factory. Or some minor work depending on price.

    I'd also like to rebuild the trans and put a stage 2 in.

    Mini Spool the diff or rebuild it, does clunk sometimes. i'd like lsd.
    Cheers for any responses in advance.

    possibly working to a budget of around 10k
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    they'res so much you can do man,

    first up 220,000km dosnt warrent a rebuild mate.. these motors will do TONS of K's my uncle still has a vn calais (owned since new) thats done 780,000km still going hard

    first up, get a tune into it, weather it be a hsv tune with a knock sensor disabled (unless u install the knock sensor aswell)

    put a corvette servo into the trans (will make her chirp with a good tune)
    put a cam in it, do some headwork, get a CAI,

    with the transmission, unless the clutchs are slipping i wouldnt worry clunkings normal, get the lsd for sure, spools are fun but your tyres will hate you for it, and RWC will be a bitch if u get defected etc..

    n/a you wanna get it flowing nicely, the right sized exhust, not the biggest one you can fit..

    if you still want to rebuild your engine, go pick yourself up a stroker kit, 355 kits are going for as cheap as $1100-1350, thats bearings, rods, pistons and a steel crank,

    why go stock spec when u can go 355 or 383
