I know what it is, but most ppl know it has a 308

How do most people know it has a 308 when it has a 304?

[HoZy]

Correction, Most people who care/know things about cars know it's only a 304 and they'll point & s###### at you thinking it's a 308.

Wiring on your interior pic from your cigarette lighter? What is that, Looks dodgy?

Wiring Passenger side trim near door pod? Wires going over door sill trim??

[Holmez]

well ppl who dont know much about cars know its as a 308, so it will do,
Work in progress mate, gotta fix everything up when the new trim goes in.

[HoZy]

LoL... It's not a 308 though...

[Holmez]

[AirStrike]

Mate I dont understand, if you know its a 304 why would you get plates with 308?

[Holmez]

Does it really matter anyways

[HoZy]

Does your passenger help you change gears in your auto via your massive tacho? Visually impared much? Or just have wonky eyes an ur left one freaks your passenger out.

[Holmez]

Anything else????

I don't understand how most people know it as a 308?
Everyone i've ever talked to knows the EFI was a 304 and the Carby 5L is a 308. And people who don't no anything about cars don't have a clue what a 308/304 means.

Must be a SA thing. Same with the monster tacho in an auto.

How many K's and how much you pick it up for?

[fabz]

What does the blue box in the center console do? is that for the neons? I think if you fixed it up a little better with those wires will stat to look nice, Have to agree with the rest tho the tacho needs to but ripped out cos its a auto and people will just laugh at you and you need to sell those plates and get new ones. Needs to lowered to but hey its a good start. good luck and take now no notice of these other two they really are good guys hahahahaha!!!!!!

[Grennan]

I dont see why you would get plates saying 308 when in fact it is a 304. And why you would get 308 on the plates...if you knew it was a 304.

Apart from the wiring issues and a tacho the size of your rims (in an auto) the car looks in good nick.

[alexp36]

I gotta admit - before I got my commo (which is not a V8 anyway), I always assumed the 5L was a 308, cause that was always the GM displacement, and Ford was always the 302..., so I guess I know what sex308 means.

Plus his first response had a typo,
"most people know it has a 308"
instead of
"most people know it AS a 308"

- which I think made a few people here think he was saying that it is a 308, whereas he was just saying that people who know a little about cars in general, but not much about Commo's, just think it's a 308 - which in my book is pretty reasonable.

So, personally, I'd get off the guys case.
- Back on topic: mate that looks like one very straight Commo - nice car.
Wish mine was that tidy. You've got a good starting point for the mods you've got in mind. And don't worry, these guys above are generally real friendly and helpful on here - they're just passionate (read: pedantic) about their cars

I recon that if he wants his tacho he can have his tacho. Different people have different ideas of what they wanna do to their cars and maybe thats something he wanted to do. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions but you don't have to hang $hit on him just because you don't like what his done to his car.

I haven't seen many Commodores with the under car neons, looks pretty good. Got any pics of where you mounted them? How are they wired up? Your car looks pretty clean, interior will look better once the wires are hidden, but as you said its a work in progress. Good start mate.

[Holmez]

Cheers guys appreciate it.
The neons were hard to attach mate, but very easy to wire up, hard to explain where i put the, but i can take a pic of ya want,

[SSGEN-3]

Yeah that'd be cool if you could take a pic for me. How much did the neons cost you? Is that blue box on the centre console for the neons?

[Holmez]

yeah its the blue box in the middle they change colour, and stuff, and flash to the beat, preety cool, ill take some pics for ya, ill get them up either wed or next weekend, they were i think 350 or something

Not all the Carbys were 308's. Late VK's & VLs had the 304 (4.9L)

[Disturbed_vegeta]

nice engine..and about the plates..308 is just a number who ever said its the kind of engine it has...
