Ahhh go the VP vacationer spec, mine's a vacationer too. Love the cruise control, but the fact it comes standard with power windows in the front only kinda sucks.

[azkwazere]

yeah power window thing annoys the **** out of me sometimes.... nothing a few regulators and some spare time cant fix i guess!

Cruise is out cos the manual conversion and i cant be assed making a clutch switch.

As for you geoff.... my mate lives in that estate, was there all night pretty much. came down for a few days.... i remeber the magna hahha

he lives is sharsha court or whatever its called....

Stockies are cos i cant afford tires for 18's

aZk.

Oh and pics will come when i wash the mofo... its so dirty, yucky and messy, i hate having a messy car but i dont have time to really detail it, its gay.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Whoa...... i got a mate in that street too, whats his name? would be pretty random if its the same guy LOL.

[azkwazere]

His name is chris... i dont think you know him though...

but maybe..... but prob not!

aZk.

[Wagon_Wheel]

WHAT THE HELL....
As in kitch..... and he has a little green nugget austin a50 and a mega homo excell that is white that used to have a red bonnet...... and he's goin to india soon.....????
Same chris???? LOL RANDOM

[azkwazere]

hahaha nah, weird they have the same name though lol....

lol.... mines mozza....

hahahah

same area, same name//// lol weird!

aZk.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Ohh damn, that woulda been crazy weird though, pretty random though, same name and same street. Ahh well.

[azkwazere]

wow, really suck at updating this lol....

Did Intake Manifold gasket + rocker cover gaskets and thermo stat gasket too...

New coolant all round + full service and new 8.8 Bosh leads.

Just bought a climate control unit from here + stato center console.

Also bought a new calais international boot lip spolier from T-ROY to go on as well.

The car will ket a complete make over all at once ive decided. Kit + two tone + 18's back on + boot lip + chrome stripes all at once. Make it go from ok to **** hot! lol...

looking for some 3.45's for diff... plans are Gears + lokka Centre + new Billet axles + paint + seals. That should keep diff happy till forever.

Brakes will be 5000XS Rotors from DBA + Vt hub adapters to fit them + 6spot calipers from PBR + new 1" master + 2spot rear upgrade with slotted rear rotors + braided lines everywhere. Sick of solid lines, ****ing me off.

Need rear window regulators for rear power window conversion.

Also planning to replace ALL guages with after market speco setup within orignal cluster custom pod.

fully adj. twin blade sway bars are also on to do list aswell....

Few things on the go with the baby.

long time no update!

Sweet setup, though I reckon the billet axles would be a bit overkill! - i don't know anyone that's ever snapped a 28 spline stock axle, even with a completely locked centre!... and guys are running 10's day in day out with them!

maybe save on the billet axles and put the money towards the other planned goodies!

The adjustable swaybar setup will be ace

and if you end up doing aftermarket dash instrument conversions, make sure you document it all!

lol you dont know me then luke.... i put them in my diff not cos they break... but because they bend and gives that damn brake squeel

[azkwazere]

just never wanna touch the diff again... suppose ill assess price difference between new for both and see how much i really want them...

the guages will be fun, ill make there is lots of pics and words

just need that money stuff now!

aZk.

[Boonz]

hey azk... just so you know roughly... i paid $330 an axle with new bearings already on...

for peace of mind mainly

[VN_Luke]

lol you dont know me then luke.... i put them in my diff not cos they break... but because they bend and gives that damn brake squeel

I only ever seen them bend when bashed against gutters - "when drifting goeas wrong" style ...followed by that horrid squeaky squeak and premature brake pad wear!

Do the billet axles come with the long studs etc? who makes them? Moser?

[Boonz]

lol 3rd gear donuts broke mine.... i got them from queensland performance axles and centres (qpaac). not sure on what brand they were tho and they didnt ahve studs i had to put new ones in

[azkwazere]

330? oh crap lol... thats like 700 just for two axels... although they will never break... hmmm... well see.... so far its like

$100 for gears
$600 For lokka centre
$700 for axels

how much are studs?

+ seals + oil + paint... this diff is gonna cost a ****ing fortune! lol..

aZk.

[Boonz]

lol studs are like $1.40 each from memory

well when you think about it standard axles are $120-$150 depending where you get them from....

[azkwazere]

i need to sort out, am i really gonna need billet axels?

i seriously wanna setup the diff and NEVER have to touch it again.... will the lokka centre cause undue strain on the axels? hmm... tough call

aZk.

ps. thanks for the prices peanuts, very helpful!

[Boonz]

no worries... i only went with billet for piece of mind.... they are probably overkill but like most things they still got put in just incase

[azkwazere]

see mines not even a 5litre, itll be ported six with ~6 pound... hmmm... might ring around i think.

aZk.

[Boonz]

its up to you tho, cos they are pretty strong diffs from factory...i snapped one form being a twat... and as VN luke said people are running 10's with stock axles with no problems
