    Neuton tyres

    i realise this is a thread dig but i wanted to add my 2c. There was a full review conducted on 10 different performance tyres. The most expensive didnt exceed as well as you might think, in fact a middle of the road priced tyre came out on top regarding stopping distance. So Minux's comments...

    3.7's in my vs ute,good upgrade??

    I have 3.7's and LSD in my VS Calais with a supercharged V6. Best thing i ever done, most performance from any mod ive ever done. Mine is auto though so rpm at 100km/h went from 1750 to 2100 which is nothing in my opinion. In a manual however it will be roughly 2500rpm at 100km/h

    Yeah ive still got the tank but its not on the car. I think i got a bit bored with it and didnt really suit what i was trying to achieve. Im really 50/50 with the drop tank. For you however, my drop tank wont suit, the tow bar will have to be removed and there is absolutely no chance of...

    VS calais

    Well this 'Calais' is a little different. I like it alot champ. That silver looks alot lighter than the Shadow grey that Holden used on its two tone models. Have you driven a super6, there pretty extreme bits of gear, when i was planning my conversion i thought about a V8 but the super6...

    Litte bit of an update, Got my VE SSV rims back from Alliance Rims Repair, they did a acceptable job on machining the centers however they have chipped the paint of the edges where i assume the machine clamps the wheel down (only on 1) but the others have marks where they have been clamped...

    My Vr L67 Project

    I also require an upgraded exhaust, becasue mine is IRS i will be going a twin 2.5" exhaust from headers all the way back, dont know if i will have a x-pipe in it or not. With yours however it is most likely live axle so your best bet would be twin 2.5" that merges into a 3" just before the...

    My Mrs bought me a voucher for a Performance Driving Day at the AHG track near the airport. She thought it was a massive skidpad where you could go nuts.

    Cheers mate, yes the 3.7's have been by far the biggest performance gain ive ever achieved. Funny you say that about the VY SS's, there being swapped this sunday for VE SSV 19's without tyres though, but the VE's are real and my VY's are fake i think.

    Cheers cxcx, Ive already decided on the XP-Hot Cam from ZZP, its basically the best performing cam without any headwork, or so im told. My 60' times of 2 seconds are pretty good, they seem pretty dominant over 60'. Although i havent seen a Evo or STI's 60' times. It certainly lacks top...

    Here is a picture of the speedo correction kit when i had finished soldering it together and wired it into the car. $54.95, much better than $220, $295 & $350 that i was quoted to supply & install a correction kit from performance shops. By upeted1, shot with Canon DIGITAL IXUS 500 at...

    [1MMACUL8] 1995 VS Calais - L67

    There is a violet/white wire running from PCM to speedo (C5 on the wiring diagram). You simply cut it and wire it into the correction kit, then give it 12V & Ground, then follow the tuning instructions that come with the kit. To easy, however i strongly recommend reading the PM i just sent you...

    Hey mate, yeah there should be a difference. 3.08 doing 100km/h - 1750rpm 3.7 doing 100km/h - 2100rpm Before i put my speedo correction kit in the speedo was doing 127km/h when the sat nav was reading 100km/h. So maybe your gauge is saying 100km/h when your actually doing 80km/h. The diff...

    Power output is listed in the first post. Power: L36 = 154.6rwhp L67 = 210.6rwhp (Before intake was done) Torque was the biggest improvement with the L67, Pete ran an 11.9 second 1/4 mile with roughly 290rwhp. Dyno figures are not as good as track times:yeah:

    mint vs calais

    Hey champ, i love VS Calais's. In the second picture it looks like the fog lamps arnt there? I would therefore suggest a supercharged V6 conversion because once you intercool it the intercooler pipes hit the fog lights, sooooo seeing as there already not there its begging for it. :w00t...
