    Don't worry about my grammar when you spelt "int he". And I'm in the process of updating my website content anyway so those photos will be removed and replaced with current ones. And I'm far from upset, I can more than handle what you had to say, most of it I found quite amusing, some...

    Looking at getting into a DSLR but I'm totally clueless.

    Ok a few things to say here Firstly Imoengnr, it does matter if you are clueless or not, as no matter how good the camera, in the hands of someone who doesn't know what there doing its as good as a paperweight. Secondly Minux "The DSLR is coming to an end fast, no point getting on the band...

    Cheers guys, like I said I think she has had some abuse in the past as theres over 300ks on the clock. Would love a v8 but think that this time round it looks like the turbo will get the early nod. Maby once I join the mines down the track I may end up going the coveted ls1 conversion. LOL...

    So what your saying is that if I kept the Rb30 and turbo it ( abviously adding extras aswell) that I will be able to get the original 300+ rwkw's that I was looking for. I guess that could convince me to keep it even, will have to rethink that one. Finally took a picture of it tonight and will...

    uwishn- what kind of power are you getting from your worked 5lt? Do you know if you would have to have it engineered by putting in a ls1?

    Vl Project

    nasty1- I had thought about the RB30, and putting a turbo on it, but just really love the note of a solid v8, and I ashume the cost to get the power output from the Rb30 would be about the same once I strengthend internals and purchased a turbo kit.

    Vl Project

    Hay guys thanks for all the info. Nasty1- what makes the ls1 conversion so expensive? is it the engine and componentry or the engineering side of it. As ive been told I would have to get it engineering certified. I have also been thinking of stroking it out to 5.6lt (I think or is it 5.7...

    Thanks detox_nath83 for the forum tip I will post there later when I have a photo to upload. Ok...............after much convincing from some friends of mine in the know I have re-adjusted my power output to a more reasonable 200+k/w, and being in a vl it will still be more than enough ( for...

    Was looking at the injected v8 option, and would probably stroke and supercharge it. But maby the ls1 would be a better option.
