love the mods you've done to your car, sounds like a V8! And returns awesome fuel economy.
cheers Kuzman when you gunna put up a thread?
when I take some pictures lol, I dont have much done to my car really as well.
hey, very nice car mate, if you dont mind how much did the clutch set you back? i think im in need of an upgrade and also can you put some photos of the brakes up i like the sounds of the slotted rotors might also get that done on my sv6
i'll get some photos of the brakes up for yas. my GF lost the camera cable though.
Clutch kit will set you back about $1515 + fitting i managed to source one for $1200 + $400 fitting. Castle Hill Exhaust now do one for about $1700 fitted that they've pieced together themselves they will probably supply it to you and you can have it fitted else where.
the problem with the sv6 is the hole clutch assy has to be replaced. you can go for just a clutch plate and pressure plate but the dual mass flywheel is the main issue with the stuck clutch system they fail if you abuse them to much and when they fail it's tilt tray home. not like a worn clutch you can baby around when the DMF fails you get zero power transfer from the engine to the gearbox.
Cars booked in at CHE for Saturday to get a powerbond 20% underdriven pulley, plus some new tips for the exhaust.
from CHE dyno day.

Oil catch can has arrived will fit this weekend is a baffled can i want to put in between the breather that fits between the maf and throttle body. hopefully this will stop the maf getting oil back spray.
Nice ride man. Your first few pics don't seem to be working.
So you're pushing out 160.5rwkw...
That's f'ing impressive mate.
Thanks mate, got the Catch Can in yesterday arvo. engine bay needs a clean though. gunna trim the engine cover a bit to fit back on next weekend.
Trimmed the other engine cover so that it fits with the oil catchcan. looks factory under the bonnet again.
ur engine cover is heaps dif to mine what year model is urs?
built april 08 is early my09. i think they changed to the large 1 peice cover with my09.5. i'd run the motor with no engine covers but the alloytec sounds aweful without engine covers t have a very noisey top end with all those valves. they sound like diesels without the engine covers. but i don't like all the heat they trap around the ignition coils.
