The smooth pulleys are idlers. They don't drive anything, so there's no rotational load on them. (except for the bearing friction which is negligible). On the ribbed pulleys you are running an alternator, ps pump etc. If this were the case your tensioner is stuffed because the rotational...

Isn't it just usually you don't shave I don't shave? Should get people to post up their mos

The 18s are also probably a higher rotational inertia which is reducing your acceleration. I noticed the drop in acceleration going from stock 17s to aftermarket 18s on the misuses bmw

New belt? There's no load at the smooth idlers so it won't be slipping there.

I found my short. Looks like a factory problem

Or sells it to someone else who isn't wasting her time? If you want it just buy it.

Can't find it online. But type r is geared towards spl competitions. Type s is geared towards SQL. For example type s components are bi-amp able

If you want all one brand. Go for alpine type r gear (loud) or type s (not as loud but better sound quality). Decent components(in the front) and a sub are plenty for a sedan. Will be fine in a ute. 6x9s effectively do what a sub and some read fill do, but not as well. They pointless of you...

You will always get inconsistent results unless the engine is warm when you test compression. Usually you also have a minimum compression (100psi). I'd say your fine.

I've bolted rings to my back seat and use a strop.

Was this parked up at darling harbour yesterday in front of the motorshow? Looks awesome!!! I told the missus I'd seen that car on jc

Don't fit a sunroof. Buy a new car with one from the factory. They have to strengthen the roof around it. Not sure about on newer cars but cars from the 80s and early 90s they're a major source of rust

Check voltage over battery terminals with the car idling. If its under 13.5 the battery isn't charging

I agree. Although you have plain packaging over there now so it's in line. Was loving the vodafone commodore painted to match the old malboro cars though

You shouldn't let it sit on the auto box in park. The park is a small solenoid which locks the gears, it's designed as a backup when your handbrake fails. You should always select neutral, pull the handbrake. Release the foot brake and let it set then depress the foot brake and select park.

How longs he had it and how cheap is it? Gearbox is every 80k

On grass if your stuck you need to turn it off to get out. As above don't bother fitting it it's crap.

Found the short. getting ready to sell it served as motivation. Appears to be a factory issue. The wire to roof is mounted under the drivers seat belt and has worn through. All working now.

Cheers guys. I can handle the same just less would be nice. More hoping to get some capital out. Manual ss's are still worth 18odd grand with about my ks, (I paid 17 2 years ago). Can get a supercharged Calais for about 12, or am auto v8 Calais about the same. (in nz btw). I drive pretty...

Hey I was wondering what fuel economy you guys get from the factory supercharged 6. And maybe with a tad more boost than factory. I mainly do city driving on a day to day basis and am getting 15l/100k out of my ls1. Was looking at a nice supercharged Calais but wondering of it'll do...

Even if you manage to mount it the alignment will be out. Replacement bulbs aren't expensive on eBay $15 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=220797657328&index=8&nav=SEARCH&nid=99096690679

Perfect for p platers

Turbo lag is a very real thing. Yes the turbo can create a static pressure but you don't have static pressure the volume of air is flowing into the cylinders. Increased restrictions, such as an intercooler generate greater turbo lag. A second is also quite a long time

You can but you'll need to buy some h3 hid bulbs. should be pretty simple

Piece of cake with the rack in place. Take off the boot and unscrew it

Smash the right quarter light not the left. Lefts are harder to come by as it's the one thieves break

Not all. 5% tints are created equal. Some professional grades you can see out of much better. The way they get around it with jap imports is its tinted glass not a film

What brand of master cylinder are you using? Try either oem or from the clutch place. Rather than Repco/eBay etc

Probably is Google is your friend. Fuel log https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.simonmorgenthaler.fuellog&hl=en

Vy too. They went back to them for some reason on the vz. Be careful flushing with the hose in Australia, your water is quite corrosive

You could paint them

Factory wire is fine. Connect this to the x-over input. Then connect mids and tweets to the x-over.

Close but not identical

Other way round. Lower diff ratio will cause it to rev higher for the same speed and gear. Lower ratio will improve acceleration.

That's a good write up. Almost identical process for an ls1 ps pump too.

The way it should be. I don't like the Pontiac grill anyway

Belltronics sti is all but undetectable. Assuming they can't see it or you buy this one: http://www.radardetectors.com.au/catalog/item/6337416/6184701.htm When I bought mine (they're legal in nz) I was looking at the sti and valentine v1. There was talk at the time of making them illegal. I...

Does it rev quite high at 100 in 5th/6th? What ever you have? Utes often have an LSD and different ratios so it could be factory

Bouncers are licensed thugs. For some reason they are also above the law.

Are you filling up earlier? Only way those two statements could be true. Fill it up and reset trip odo. Then next time you get gas fill it up again. Then work out your avg manually. Liters of fuel / km travelled x100
