    A bit of a mongrel but I like it.

    Kick arse engines the Supra V6's but I've know idea of their dimensions..Grab a tape measure and fined a Vl to compare. I think the length of the engine with all the turbo gear hooked up would be the only possible issue...The other top engine swap is the Nissan RB30 into the Commodores. There's...

    Here's a couple of new pictures..One on a day out with the Street Wagons people in Vic...Also a pic of the B&M Quicksilver shifter I had grafted into the VS console. (The cover is not on in the pic) It works well, I like it.

    No!..It was done by a mate and Scott at venomcobras in Brisbane. If you want to do it yourself you should be fine as everything slots in quite well. venom could do the wiring loom for you..You can also get a lot of information off lextreme.. A lot of parts are on the market now in NZ and a few...

    What the **** now thats a blower

    This is actually real, It's off a train..When he fired it up it ran for about two seconds and blew the head gaskets..:rip: He talks about it near the end off this video. The beginning of it is an interview of him talking about his drag car. (which he stacks on the start line.) Half way...

    Sheep vs. Wife

    One night a man barges into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and stands in front of his wife. "This is the pig I screw when you claim you have a headache," he says. The wife looks at him, half shocked and half confused, and replies, "That's a sheep under your arm." "I wasn't...

    Imported beers getting bottled in Australia

    I agree totally, not to mention the shops who try to sell these cheap copies off as imported and charge fully imported prices.

    engine overheat

    Does it just heat up at idle, traffic lights etc or is it also running hotter at freeway/highway speeds? Does the temp keep rising or does it level out? What level on the temp gauge does it reach? (Somebody here might say it's normal) Does that model have electric fans. If so start the...

    my new 2004 VY Wagon

    Sweet as, I love those chopped wheels, The door trim is brilliant, a spot on combo with the door locks. Very clean rig. "Wagons rule"

    Any one tried this

    You assumed correctly. When it's working as a speedo the orange warning light flashes continuously which is a bit annoying. When you turn the ignition off it resets its self to the speed warning mode.

    Any one tried this

    It's going well, great fun. No times yet. I've been driving it like a nanna, (Well I'm not completely flogging it.) as I'm moving interstate in a few weeks and don't want to risk breaking anything that might hold things up. Touch wood etc. :)

    266rwHP Supercharged VS Ute

    Play around with your tyre pressures as well. Increasing the pressure will decrease your rolling resistance. Decreasing it increases your rolling resistance. So if I've got that right you should run a high pessure in your front tyres and a low pressure in your rears. One example I know of is a...

    A bit of a mongrel but I like it.

    Thanks for the info. I've just been reading an article by a bloke about his Dynojet explaining that they measure horsepower well but not torque. "This can happen because inductive and optical rpm pickups may not be perfect, and/or your ignition system may make things go a little haywire." and...

    A bit of a mongrel but I like it.

    You may be right but I still can't get traction. I'm modifing the ecu and changing the exhaust cams in few weeks time and it will be tuned on a different dyno so we'll see what results. The cams are only mild so they shouldn't bugger things up too much. Check out the torque figures from...

    Leak in Passengerside Footwell

    I've have the same problem with my VS wagon but it's only a problem if I take it through a high pressure auto car wash. {CL's} I thought it was the heater box but all seemed okay. It came from somewhere under the dash because I had some junk on the floor that was wet on top. I suspect a vent or...
