hey guys, put simply, i want coulson seats (leather if i can get door cards otherwise cloth). im sorry if this gets brought up every other day aswell :thumbsup: From what i've seen and heard they are damn near impossible to get 2nd hand.. So what im thinking is go the NVU route and buy the...

20's are the way to go man. if u can find a set, get them instead, much cheaper and easier and look a hell of a lot better. just to make the 20's fit the guards had to be rolled and even then it still scrubbed untill i "clearanced" it a little more (with a 2.5" lowering jobby), fine now but im...

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the LS1 guys use for filters on your OTRCAI setups, my mate got really bored at work and happened across a spare ECOTEC manifold and is converting it to a forward facing TB and plans to make up a OTR setup. I was wondering what yas use for filters? are...

theres half a chance its from those little bricks that holden and some service centres tend to add to the coolant to "help lube the water pump seal" thats coming through, some of it may have settled and when u flushed the car its come unstuck from where-ever and come through the radiator...

as was said before, always check machining. My brother has just laid waste to a set of kb hypers due to a seemingly reputable business botching the machine job, not only were bores machined with too much clearance, the deck is all over the shop and more-so isnt even at the height that was...

2 Hotdogs sounds VERY VERY good. a couple of mates have done this on their cars (VN and a VS series Statesman, Both V6's) and its relatively quiet at idle but stand on it and it sounds beaut!

Bolts should be taking very little, if any of the twisting force on your flywheel as its held in place by primarily the friction between the flywheel and the crank created by the tension on the bolts. Higher tensile strength bolts allow you to put more pressure on the flywheel granting more...

Hey guys, sorry if this has been brought up many a time before but i couldnt find anything in the FAQ about it. I want to convert my povvopak VT to a notsopovvopak and fit up some electric windows all around. Im just curious on how exactly i go about it. Some ideas i have rolling through...

speaking of body kits, i had a new Genuine GTO front bar priced up on friday. 2K without the mesh inserts, which were 300 more, 1400 trade. for a VY Clubby front bar it was ~800 i think.. but yeah, thats unpainted. And after having a glass bar i can honestly say, if you plan on keeping the...

Diff is done, i dunno what LSD's are normally like but this thing is tight as, just going around tight corners and she gets a little chirp/scuff on the inside tyre, its cool. Also as was predicted, massive difference in acceleration, considering the engine/trans is still stock its a very...

Camembert in party pies. OMFG! if you get a chance, try it! sooo good.. and i dont really know cheeses, i once had a cheese that smelt like my socks if i wore them for 2 weeks in a row... and it tasted... just.. like... the.. smell!

thats what japan did didnt they? i always thought they were 12A's they put in the kingswoods? Also, i think somewhere in a street machine they were saying YT were looking at getting back into making ally heads for the holden sixes again, really lookin forward to seeing how that develops. And...

hahah ^ Or, buy it, re-remove the roof, strengthen the body back up and do a lil work to the motor, and hey presto, u have yourself a motorvation cruiser that can lay skids on the pad at will :w00t:

Not a real fan of fibre glass kits either. i do have one on my car (GTO repro one i think) and yeah, even the slightest knock has cracked it, from several little bumps and scrapes (damn bumper goes LOOOWWWW even with std springs.. or FE2 or w/e they are in my car) the rear needs has a couple...

yeah iv seen that ad too, i think i saw an article in an early SM about that motor, the ignition module is stand alone, just plug in the + and - wires and its good to go, with the carby manifold though your could go with some form of aftermarker managment system for the fuel or even a...

how long was the car sitting? could stale fuel be a part of the cause?

hehe cheers. Hoping to have all the driveline bits i want done, done by about june/july though that might either A:Blow out cos these jobs over east dont fall through or B: Come in much much shorter because said jobs come through :D But yeah. once it goes well i get to fix the outside up...

yay! even though im now a tradesman

New diff is going in on thursday :thumbsup: 3.91:1 LSD and speedo re-cal. should feel like it has a hell of a lot more balls after that. then i can start doing the small and tedious things that grant only minor changes untill the whole synergy side of things kick in. cant wait till...

i think its just idiot that have gone from the barinas and festivas of an instructors car to thrashing something else and they think its SOOOO fast they can beat anything... but yeah... its like wow.. u know how to put ur foot flat in your automatic camry, congrats! i dont understand why people...

oh yeah... /facepalm.. cheers on the interior advice too :D

This is my baby.. bought it almost as is but theres a lot of work i need to do to get it back up to scratch... My brother missus tried to park infront of a fence when she forgot that the little pedal on the right is NOT for stopping... None too shabby.. i think the kit is GTO? not too sure...

i both agree and disagree with this statement. but i can relate the way insurance companies roll to how minesites are... a few f*ckwits do stupid things and injure or kill themselves and the people who arent totally mentally retarded get the arse of it by the way of new regulations, rules, SWP's...

good on him for getting a root so young but damn... his kids gunna be starting school the same year he is leaving it... lols.. 10 bucks that 10years from now he goes.. **** what the **** did i do that for.. least, even though he may fail to understand just how much work raising a kid...

hahahahahaha... Its like.. Hey man thats a nice car... Does it come in hetero?

man i wish i had the skills and knowledge and tooling available for me to be able to do stuff like that. cant wait to see it finished given the quality and pure good looks of your past work :thumbsup:

i think gas needs the use of different rings to normal for bedding in purposes. dont quote me on that but iirc chromoly rings wont properly bed in on straight gas. maybe look into that. i could be wrong.

theres also the option of zip lock bags (labelled and stored away in a corner ready to be used again) or one of those flashy segregated boxes, incase u dont like fish or chinese :p but yeash... planning planning planning is what it takes for any successful build. even if you spend a few weeks...

yeah but you wont get as much "doof" factor. just for that pure bass to make music sound better keeping the seats up usually works a little better. thats from my xp anywho... my setup was pretty crap though.. edit: the seat also helps to filter out the sound of the subwoofer moving, which is a...

HK munro.. OMGZ now thats a head turner.. whether its clean as a cucumber or looking like the bloke who owns it should sell it to me... NOW... oh wait.. the latter is all of them :p anything that can be counted as a muscle car... as long as its clean is a head turner.. with the exception of...

i remember one night fitting me, my mate and 4 random females into my tonner... if u can squeeze 6 in im sure u can squeeze a baby in.. gogo bench seat, they are cruise control for cool.

kinda wish i knew these newer cars if i know how to steal it i know how to better protect it.... all i know how to steal are kingswoods... mainly from once or twice when i lost my keys and had to break-in, semi-hotwire it (i put a switch in to the coil :p ) and then pull off the steering wheel...

gogo new 3.91:1 LSD for mee!! tho i have most it saved so im guessing ill just join the crowd and blow it at the knockers.. why not hey?! i get sumin.. they get sumin.. then they can spend it later down at a flashy clothes place.. where it would then go to china..

Another lane on the kwinana fwy would be very very handy. but with people being people it wont be a clean cure for the cancer of poor merging, and people too up themselves to realise that one car ahead here and there doesnt make THAT much difference.. hell... if people are in such a rush then...

incredibly clean looking car manski. wish mine was as clean :p just curious as to how much of a hassel it was getting the SS interior in there? i would like to do something similar but not too sure how all the vents on the front trims and centre console will will go? if its from a VX or even...

im happy cos i know that by the end of next week im going to have my 3.91:1 lsd in my vt. YAY!! Im also happy that we arent getting totally nutted in the cricket tonight for once...

Vortex 98 for now. mainly cos its cheap atms... and the bp is over 1km away where-as the caltex is just around the corner.. havent noticed any real difference between Vortex and Ultimate though.. So i'd go for ultimate if it was closer :p
