I saw an undercover bike once at a traffic light... either that or this guy carries a gun around with FAR too many bags attached to his bike

i got done by an astra turbo diesel undercover... best Ive seen is a toyota avalon undercover and hyundai I30

mine changes at 6400... i should really look into that

if you get extractors paint them with heat treated paint... a disgusting random spray job with black and a rusty brown colour should suffice lol... The boys in blue arent that dumb either... they could open your oil cap and take a look inside and see alot of black... yet some really nice...

theres a guy on ebay selling kits that fit gauges in that area... but my problem would be hooking up the gauges themselves

i put roller rockers in last weekend, as well as a mace manifold insulator and the results are amazing... definately start with those...

looks great... whats the induction sound like? and what sort of ducting are you using because I want to upgrade to 4" but dont really want to pay 100 bucks for the one advertised online (i forget where) I want to buy one but i can see freight being alot cuz im in melbourne...

white or black?

yeah it was chirnside... I definately dont think its cool what I did... I was a horrid kid... and I was only replying to this thread as this episode is the one that sticks out the most in my mind... I wouldnt call it boasting...im 20 now and im not saying the sun shines out of my ass but I have...

depends on your budget and how much time u want to spend on it... Take a look at one of your local papers for automotive ads where its like $99 for a service there should be a list of things they do and should work down that list spark plugs, check all fluid levels, air filter, fuel filter ect

my uncle told me to tell the teacher to go F herself if she tried taking my freddo frogs off me (back when health STARTED to be an issue).. That was my last day at rolling hills primary' Edit: I was five back then and my parents never argued or swore infront of me

i had my hyundai excel wrapped in 2k of industrial glad rap... that weekend i bought my vs commodore

monster thread dig vs acclaim 3.8 i get 275 a tank general and 950 on country. yeah im a fan of the longer pedal on the right

are you sure your driving a commodore? because I hear of these self blowing motors that a rival company makes... 4.0 straight six... it sounds like a jet engine winding up when it works and then the temp guage goes high but thats simply fixed with a piece of black tape... after a while this...

yeah plenum spacer is next on my hit list... but whilst dismantling the plenum i noticed some gnarly cracks so im going to replace that before I make my next purchase... 25 mm manifold needs some extra hosing (as noted on his instructions) and I wanted my engine cover to fit nicely so i chose...

I have been digging and cant find much on how to tell whats good and whats not so I think we should compile a list of things to look at when buying a commodore. We all know to check tyres body and how it drives but there are many more areas to look at to help decide whether or not it needs work...

My mate and I put this into my car yesterday ... He is not mechanically minded at all and I can name engine parts but thats as far as it goes... his first words were "how can this 12mm piece of wood make your car better?" and at that point to be honest I had no idea and was hoping it wasnt going...

i got 1.8.4 (or .3) at the YT sale the other weekend... would have liked to see a higher ratio but im very happy with 1.8

My first car was an 88 telstar... it had a bad paint spot on the bonnet (hottest area) so i asked a mate to pick my up some silver spray paint and to help me spray it... so he opened the can shook it up and i lit a smoke and took a few steps back (i was worried id catch fire due to a bad...

the pod would only gain air if it had more area to get air from... so you can freeball it and have a nice yellow sticker and 100 people on here with pitch forks chanting about pods and hot engine air... I would suggest a good panel... or a full CAI kit that was made for a pod... growler and such

all depends on how often it was serviced, how the ks were done (highway or suburb or city)... also if its a ute... what was usually carried if anything as 250k of constant heavy loads would give it stress..if youve got your heart set on it get one of those checks (in vic its an racv check) and...

hopefully you havnt got white goo under your oil cap... keep a watch on the temp guage and good luck

Please for your sake... when considering your next upgrade.... roller rockers and a MACE manifoldnext insulator should be high on your list. I was a bit skeptical to be honest as not many of my mates have done these mods (they jumped down the diff gears and larger cam route, one of them even...

i just put yt roller rockers and the mace manifold insulator in.... believe me they are worth it... my vs pulls SO hard from take off now... they are both easy diy mods... i mean putting those in was the FIRST time i had ever done anything to my car on my own... it took a few hours (with me...

i would say its going to be an expensive venture... someone correct me if im wrong but i believe for a larger capacity motor you need an engineers report as well as upgraded suspension and brakes

back when I was like 10 and had pokemon red i beat the elite four and after it started saving... then battery died and it wiped my file... I went to kmart... left the barbeque section.. and slashed all the plush pikachu's with a meat knife...

*remembers his vs on the dyno... 240,000... water pump locked up mid flight, sprayed boiling fluid everywhere, extractors were glowing a deep purple... a fun time had by all* how on earth did ur car stand up to it at 300 thou

could u post up some pictures.... since ur left hand wont be changing gears... simply use it to karate chop anything that may get into the shifters path... I really wanna put a piston as my shifter...

Any one else read that there was no water in radiator and no oil in motor? i need to get my eyes checked and stop sniffing fumes.... on a serious note good luck... my girlfriends VT blew a headgasket by sitting still for a month... no joke she reversed into a tree... and we put it in the...

it would be great if someone could post up a cheap way and install instructions on a supercharger for an ecotec... If i had the cash i would go raptor kit but put simply im not spending 5k on my vs when i bought it for 1500... waffen do you have any info on what tools are needed and...

HowStuffWorks - Learn How Everything Works! that taught me alot about combustion engines, clutches, gearboxes, drive trains etc when I was your age

my mates vs has like some country suspension pack... its no joke... about 20cm higher than my vs on ultra lows

cold air intake then move onto cams and roller rockers... yella terra had a sale last weekend it may be worth giving them a bell to see if they have anything left over for you...

carby motor If you run out of fuel... and manage to get a jerry can in and it still wont start (usually takes like 10 litres of fuel but I only had a 5 litre mower can)... take the air cleaner off and cover the hole with ur hands (not completely) just give it an asthma attack so it chokes...

it looks rather crappy compared to the rest of the system... like all rusted and small compared to the rest of the piping... but if your saying that it wont make a difference if its replaced with 2.5" like the rest of the system ill save the money and have a better condition stock one put in...

I took a look on his profile and it says he hasnt been active in a while... does he still do chips for ecotecs?? I hope I havnt missed out :( only heard good things about his setup... Anyone got any way for me to contact him or get him to pm me on here? Cheers

mine ended up being a power steering pump... turns out im always turning whilst I change from drive to reverse (whilst parking etc) ... my p pump was on its last legs and struggling and all the extra load made it conk out.... i cant say for sure as it only happened occaisionally so i thought...

ive experiemented with a few setups i find a no rear muffler set up has buckets of drone... but seems to pick up in the higher revs... as for a muffler it tends to be alot better in take off... but then again hearing the car scream could make it sound faster in the higher revs... I...
