My poll vote is on basis of the question. Coaxial pointed straight up from shelf so treble reflects off rear window works well. Real question is what speakers; -magnet size, -cone and surround material,- -resonant ffrequency, -sensitivity etc. etc? It has to be horses for courses to suit...

I have a spare copy of VL workshop manual volume 5 (PN M39434E) -Electrical, in excellent condition- and am looking for volume 3 (PN M39434C) -Gearbox. If you are looking for vol. 5, make an offer. If you want to sell vol. 3, let me know. Even better, if you want to swap your 3 for my 5...

Another megasquirt link http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/megasquirt/

Megasquirt pages Have a look at http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html too. There was an Australian megasquirt forum and they used to organise group buys of kits -don't know if they are still going. This is probably the cheapest way to get a programmable EFI system and can be installed on...

I know it is not Commodore but try and find a decent forum lately for earlier Holdens! I need an 8"x14" mag (HQ pattern) to complete a set and will pay good money for a nice one matching this... Let me know if you can help. I will also consider 7" of the same type but would prefer to have a...

$1,500 (negotiable) would get the lot but call me quick as I have listed the wheels on ebay and might get around to starting to pull bits off this weekend to list. I don't really want to let go of the flywheel if I keep the motor -it would be good for a panel van I might do up. However, box...

Check my ebay listing for them-Commodore SLE mags -full set of five Item number: 7967295759 . I had five at $50 and didn't get a bid. I relisted at $35 (and found a sixth wheel that I will throw in) and have one bid at $35. I can't think of any cheaper way to go 15" on an early model...

I have no idea what they are worth so give me a call and make an offer. Jeff

Give me a call 02 6374 1730, and we'll see what we can work out. Whereabouts are you? Jeff

If you want a high flow cat get a standard cat and cut the ends off and weld a bigger pipe on. True! that's all it takes -the standard cats have more than sufficient flow rating for any modified motor that is still driveable on the road.

If you want it to work properly it needs to be designed to suit the speaker and available space. Send me the speaker (full) details as per the Thiele/Small guidelines and the dimensions of the space it has to fit and I will tell you if it is worth using. If so, then I could do a design for the...

A typical '12volt' solar module actually develops peak power at around 17 volts; so divide power rating by 17 to get amps delivered in optimum conditions. For example, a 40 watt module will deliver a maximum of 2.3 amps and will be around 660mm x 550mm x 50mm, weighing about 4kg. Actual...

I have an adaptor here that was bought to fit XE type weber to blue/black six cylinder manifold. It is a 'Lynx KC218', described as 'Adaptor kit Weber DCD 1-238 to GM 4 cyl'. Price marked on it is $38.50 but I paid less than that. Any speed shop should be able to get one in for you. regards Jeff

VB being stripped All original and very straight panels. Interior not much good. SLE wheels. 10 bolt diff, disc brake (probably 3.08 but I haven't checked yet but it is V8). Reconditioned 253 -23,000km since exchange long motor- and 4 speed. Tacho dash cluster. Full body kit -flares, wing...

Maximum resistance of tank unit is 30 ohms with tank full and short circuit with tank empty. If you short sensor to body, gauge should read empty regardless of actual fuel level. If you disconnect sensor wire, gauge should read full regardless. (Note that gauge is heavily damped and may take a...

3,55 diff (standard 6 cylinder ratio) but 5th gear in nissan box gives overall top ratio virtually same as 3.08 diff (V8 ratio) with 4 speeder. Would probably pull 3.36 but these are fairly scarce; definitely wouldn't use 3.08. I also have a 4.44 -came with 202 and trimatic in another vehicle...

If it's still going fine don't touch it. If it needs reconditioning as the others said do it yourself or get a good wrecker engine. If you want to chase more power then a good rebuid is the starting point but make sure you find someone who knows what you want to achieve and knows how to do it...

Jober as a Sudge And how do we do that? A little test when 'Submit Reply' is pressed, or maybe the button jumps around the screen -like the 'neko' cat- or perhaps some do gooder could legislate for all modems to be fitted with breath tester. Personally, I find that sooner or later any drink in...

Dash lamps And if you pull the dash to replace a blown lamp do the whole bloody lot of them at the same time. If one is gone the others won't be far behind and you don't want to repeat the exercise all over again next month. Make sure you don't miss plugging in any connector when you put it...

V8 supercar engines The only other common pushrod V8 available has to be Chrysler. Would be interesting to see a hemi in the series but I don't really think it would happen. If a Jap manufacturer was let in they would want to use an OHC motor -no? Imagine the parity arguments then. Jeff

Why get an amp? For very little money you can pick up a new (or near new) head unit -even with MP3 capability and reasonable 4 channel outputs to around 20 watts (genuine). Check out ebay. Buy the most efficient speaker you can find and the difference between this setup and one with a 100 watt...

Movies I think the original Italian Job is as good as anything. Pity here wasn't a sequel -the ending certainly lent itself to another go. The Mini Car Club had a weekend here (Gulgong) recently and on Saturday night showed DVDs of both Italian Jobs on the big screen in our heritage opera...

Worn injector I would have thought a worn injector was more likely to let through more fuel so causing that cylinder to run rich? I suppose if all injectors are similar wear then the O2 sensor will pick this and injector duty cycle shortened to compensate? Any comments? Jeff

Innacurate gauges Many stock gauges (and a lot of aftermarket ones) are not accurate and need to be checked if you want any confidence in them. For temperature gauge you need an accurate thermometer. Stick it in the radiator filler -make sure level is up- and idle motor until coolant flows...

Two products I have found handy for this sort of thing; -CELCAST PERMANENT PAPER PHOTOCOPIER FILM. Looks and feels like paper but can't tear it and is not affected by water. Doesn't print well in an inkjet but laser printer should be OK, or photocopy. -CELCAST ST400 ADHESIVE FILM PHOTOCOPIER...

A newbee refugee The Holden Discussion Forum has died so I hope this is better. At least it is showing signs of life (even if you don't actually recognise real Holdens) -just kidding! Jeff

Rb30 What I want is more torque low down (even if it means sacrificing some top end power). Why? Because my RB30 is in a HZ one tonner! A set of extractors, 2¼" exhaust and K&N filter helped a little. Anyone got any suggestions? -I know, all you VL drivers just want heaps more power and...
