Given yours is a V8 mate i wouldn't worry about it too much unless you're looking to pack some serious power. a double row timing chain seems to be the go on V8s (LS1 - L76) its a pretty straightforward a fair on the LS1 engines. LS1 tech forums might not be a bad place to look if you're really...

So, I did a bit of research and there seems to be some good advice in regards to the suspension setup for a track day setup, people are recommending changing sway bars, changing bushings etc. I was wondering what people did in preparation for the track? Personally I was thinking something...

Hmmm that's interesting, wasn't able to access it on my phone for like a day or two. Good to see its back up and running, now i was just wondering, i need spacers for the front of my VZ commodore, but primarily i was wondering you guys had conducted any strength testing on your product? Also...

Order a couple of products from car care products, hopefully the weather cleans up a bit by the time they arrive. Hopping to apply a sealant to the cars paint and correct it myself. Also bought a new steering rack, P/S hoses, and tie rod ends so hopefully I can get some time next weekend to...

Anyone know what's going on withAFracing? Their site seems to be down. Wondering if I could get some 20mm or 15mm spacers for a VZ commodore?

Hey mate, I used to run khrl 46sl but they used to make my guards scrub with my tyres so I switched to khrl 46slhd from the guys at GSl Rallysport.

Just a quick update, took the intake off the engine, and changed the spark plugs, god knows how the previous owner took care of the car so I thought it best to begin with a bit of a service. I messed up the vacuum lines which resulted in the vents not changing positions, but after a quick...

Hey Muke, UFO, and blackve76 Muke, you make a fair point, I've looked into insurance, and i'd probably end up paying almost the cars value in comprehensive insurance per year. Also you're probably right about me becoming a hoon in the eyes of people/or cops if i drive around in a sport model...
