Morning all. Had my 190 alloytech on a scan toll yesterday running a fault code fuel trim running lean at idle. Does any one know an area i can start looking at like cleaning throttle body,vac leaks etc? Other then the engine light showing up you would never know there was an...

Ill take the street commys

Cool thanks for that.how do you find out what year and month

How come the tag lists two paint codes? And no year and month? And the other tags up above have one paint code and also have a year and month?

This is what I ment.not sure if this is what you explained.this one has two paint codes and no year and month as the one in post1 has a year and one paint code

So the two tone sle's come with two paint codes or one or both?

Red vh ss....

Not looking to flip it.just seeing what a rolling body like this would be worth.ive got to build trans, exhaust and paint vl so theres 7k there.was thinking the vh would be a cheaper option

Heres the car...

Yea its in melb.i thought the same thing about the op

Yea thats the one

Nope it is $2500....not a bad deal I would think

Morning all. I am half way done in building my vl calais.have built the eng and all that's needed now is transmission, paint and exhaust. Witch got me thinking and looking around out of curiosity at rolling shells and came across a vh that had been stolen and recovered so its missing...

If its something you love keep it. Im in the same boat ive found a red vh, grp3 kit, grp3 trim etc but former stolen recovered so no tags etc so I cant confitm if its genuine

If any one is interested theres a 1980 black/shadow tone sle on gumtree for sale $2500 grey trim, electrics rear head rests etc..

Is your car turbo, na or v8? Any mods to eng or diff? Is it a street car or race?

a little tip for some people if they cant find one is to go to a wreckersand get one from an r31.

its mf5 not mx5.and the size of an mx7 is bigger.bigger fly wheel to

thanks darren.i ment 5700 not 5200. from what I was reading they fit with a vn rack.but would like a more direct fit. I found some genies .the seller said they are a direct fit but im very cautious .

sorry to hijack the thread. ive done a inj 304 into a vl before with manual steer with minimal effort fitting the headers. im now doing a vn headed carby v8 in my vl and am wondering the best extractors to fit? from what ive gathered is the the pacie 5200s fit if I put a vn rack in the...

well something is not correct.

pulled manifold of no damage to the eye. pulled cyl head off and cyl head is ok. but found this scratched bore and damaged psiston. so now going the 355 with vn heads thats in the shed.

I done front half of the donor shaft with rear half of the vl.

my mtr in shed is vt gts.but I really would like to keep the car in spec with the parts it came with and also retain the trimatic

true.i had a small camera down in there.no obvious damage but still a leak down test would do.but I still better check for oil pressure

cheers.not much has to come off. well I still never pulled the cyl head off.i was still not 100% on the head has to come off idea. so had a good mate come around and suss it out.i better put on a decent oil pressure gauge as we ran it 3 or 4 times at short periods of time and not once did...

as what munz said.ive had 326rwkw through a n/a engine that was converted to turbo.its all in the tune. also my berlina I have now is a high comp turbo convert and its sweet as

i thought ill keep updating this for future googlers in search of a similar issue.i know how annoying it is to google stuff and no one ever comes back with the answer to there problem. although i have not pulled that cyl head off just yet i did put a little inspection camera down for a...

also im considering separating my berlina turbo aswell as i purchased a 5ltr calais s2.so if you need turbo conversion or anything.

getting there mate i have all those exterior parts if you want.pm me for my number because i need to clear out my parts lol.

hopefully not much damage. but I spoke to an eng builder today and if worst comes to worst im going to be dropping the 350 crank, rods and pistons, vn heads from my other motor into the vl 304 engine. so he said $200 to clearance it etc.and he will measure all components etc for nothing so...

yep time for the head to come off im spewin.hope theres something worth saving.i really wanted to just keep this eng in it
