Hi all, been a hot minute and I need some advice. Haven't given much love to Shya (life has been a rollercoaster this year) I have been trying to start it and let it idle every so often but one day it was just cranking and cranking without firing. I thought it was the immobiliser but after...

one of the many times ive pulled this thing off. had to get that lip around the front welded on the last time i took it off

interested to see how the astra pump goes - i remember Mazz telling me he put one in ADM1RD stato. not sure if it was done incorrectly or what but he said at 100ks if you touched the steering wheel slightly it reefed the whole car asif the variable was set at low speed only. not sure how it all...

im going to need the details on the battery box and iso set up. I absolutely HATE my plastic battery box. its junk. and i love the idea of having an iso switch to not drain the battery as my stato sits.. I've got some gilmer belt drive noise, not by choice. its still loose as hell, I had it...

when are you free to smooth my engine bay :D

A driver that is in a vehicle that is no longer in control and maneuvered in such a way that looks like its in complete control IS skill, no matter what event it is.

keep her alive mate - they arent making them anymore. and enough little dip shits writing Holdens off on tiktok.

I emailed a guy thats about an hour and a half drive away to give me a rough quote after seeing his videos on youtube of his shop installing bags. he seems like a real genuine bloke thats why if I was going down the route of using him I would have full trust in him and his work. I don't think...

wish I could do all 4's but the kit alone is 5k haha. im not doing it for the looks to be honest. I've always loved the height it sits at now. its more the practical side, i've always worried with the DiFillipos hanging the way they do especially the way Victorian roads are - and to make...

Not a whole lot of updates, life has taken me on another journey building a home. I have been weighing up the idea of drop in air bags for the rear. I found this kit and although its on the higher end compared to other bag kits, these guys seem to be very reputable, and I like the idea of the...

whats the plan for the exhaust now? patch or ?

Couldn't agree with a comment more than this. I was so heavily into the car scene, and I really enjoyed it from tackling things myself, to calling shops and speaking to them about different avenues to take to even all the stress when things just weren't going right. but I'm so far out of the...

damn thats looking really nice - will need more pics with larger quality

Yep the worst part, it wouldn't start again. got stuck at a car park for awhile one day. Was the sensor in the dizzy itself.

mate... seeing these pics of it all done is how I feel doc brown felt seeing the delorean go back to the future absolutely blown away

so YOU are the owner of this powerhouse - you would not believe how many people have sent me links to your tiktok videos. Your car is definitely turning some heads on the ol' interwebs, and for good reason, shes an animal.

July last year in NSW we had a serious accident which involved a driver running over another driver that was carrying out safety checks on the change over trailer. Cost would be one thing but change over points also create a whole new OH&S risk.

i was looking for my brothers VL a 304. when I was looking before covid, a bare motor you could get one for $600-$800. mate even picked up a solid one with all accessories for $800. look on marketplace now, they're all $3k its crazy!

looking forward to the install photos. how was the move? new house have a good garage/shed ?

Always had a big soft spot for VR/VS utes and if I had the room, id buy one in a heart beat. Mik you already know I love this thing. Great example of one and an awesome buy. not to hijack Miks thread but im the lucky bloke that was able to purchase the Caprice. Definitely had a few gremlins...

f**king hahahaha that killed me

cant just tease us and dip like that

i want it..

Been wanting to fix up my inner rear bumper for awhile - its got a million drill hole from when mudflaps were on it. I went to supercheap and got J073 Heron White - 4H046 Shadow Grey mixed up in some pressure pack cans. I sanded and filled the holes and primed up the area. I sprayed the area...

incredibly impressed with the way it came out - the colour match looks spot on. the grey does look lighter than S1/3 greys thats for sure - once its in the sun youll prob notice it more

definitely got a nice rumble to it

on to other news, someguy360 has inspired me. I've always hated my front bar, mine is my factory S2 front bar and back in the day I bought the lower lip extension (and S3 rear bar, number plate insert, lip) from GM Holden. Took it to a panel shop and they absolutely butchered the front. In the...

they light up a warm white aka piss yellow lol but I dont mind it

Thanks to a mate, I was able to get the bigger AC Delco battery for only $205. Didn't take any photos of it but the thing weighed a ton, but it sat in the battery box perfectly. Mounted everything back up and put it on charge and waited until it was fully charged again and cranked it, was strong...

I think we are all waiting patiently for gauges install Carbon Fibre automotives are by far my fav autometer gauge. rate them more than my Phantoms lol

haha all statos/caprices I see these never line up! even mine are sagging down

absolutely awesome job! I dont know why they had the darker grey on the S1 and S3, the light grey does look better IMO. but at that time, all the statesmans/caprice lower half had a splash of the body colour in it. what paint code did you go with?

Ok so the Optimas are close to double the price over the AC Delcos. Not a fan of Century batteries lifespan with the ones I've had, so Delco it is! This is the battery box I have, their website says; Projecta Battery Box - H: 200mm - W: 190mm - L: 330mm My current battery is - H: 225mm - W...

Got around to having a look at the battery - ahh stupid young Jecs wanting to stick it in the boot.. had to move the sub and amp out the way just to get to it.. Always hated where its mounted. I originally asked him to mount it next to the CD stacker but it end up back there. never knew why but...

Took her out for the first time in awhile. she still makes my heart race a million miles an hour. Unfortunately the battery has become a bit tired in its old age and I wasn't able to get it started at the supercheap car park - there was a staff member on his day off who could see I was in...

I remember when I did the 355 motor with the standard banana manifold. could definitely notice the power, but once I changed the manifold it was like a totally different engine - felt so much more angrier. You are going to be blown away with that first drive

how did the swap over go? any issues? loving the updates, keep em coming

sooooooo happy you re-did the interior. the grey looks spot on mate. new cats sound great

old video of when the exhaust was first redone - the iphone speaker really does a bad job with audio, doesnt sound right here in the revs but you get the idea

from the middle of the front bar its about 200mm, front the lowest point on the front bar its about 160mm. but these bars dont hang anywhere near as aggressively as a VY onwards
