And the water pump is gone too.......holdens cooling systems are shite. Once one component goes it seems the others follow. Had the same problems with the wife's executive
thanx man. not in my eyes, not at the moment anyway. still waiting for parts, paint has defects. ahh the list goes on. im sure ill be happy with it oneday on another note. cooling system has been fixed. next will be suspension to go in and HID kit :yahoo: then maybe i can finally get the tune done. thats if i dont have to keep replacing parts lol. will keep the updates coming as they happen. sorry about the slow progress guys
Parts are starting to pile up. Got to pick the springs up tomoro and still waiting for the evotrac2 kit to arrive then the bushes and suspension can be put on. Was away for work for one week and when I came home my battery was dead flat. Need to take it on a decent drive to charge. Just hope the electrics are fine
how's the beast going? we should get a pic one of both of ours one day. Edit: lol as I posted this so did you!
lol thats funny, ahh the beast hasnt been playing nice lately. yea man def need a photo shoot done. my side skirts and rear look like ass atm tho. hows yr ss coming along? got all yr parts painted and fitted yet?
that sucks . your lucky you got the hardest part to find the front bar xD. They are so close to being done I can taste it. I will probably do an all nighter Tuesday night to fit them and get some pics up.
thats good man, cant wait for the pics. yea i dunno if i shud just get the sides and rear or do something else with the funds like a tune and new otr. hopefully ill be on a 2x1 roster in newman so the funds will be flowing nicely :yeah: then i can do all the mods on my list lol
The guys at nolathane failed to send me the strut mounts and bearings so I'm currently waiting for a reply from them.......hurry up already I'm sick of the as looking like a rav4 On a brighter note I could have some cv8z wheels
Ok so I'm still waiting for the strut mounts from nolathane. I was meant to get it mafless tuned this week. Car broke down over the weekend so back to my mechanic she went. So I got a call yesterday as I was getting off the plane. Turns out a couple of valve springs broke.......FML The rate this bloody motor is going ill never get it tuned
Na just gonna leave these ones in it eh. Mechanic said they are still mint as. Ill just wait till I have to rebuild the motor or something. Maybe drop another motor not sure where stand ATM. Just want the damned thing fixed. It sucks not having a car
Yer man I no what its like having so much money and time put into a car and just when you want to do something new something old brakes haha. But hey that's modified cars for ya. On another note am I going to see this thing at powercruize
Not sure man. Depends on how much of a bitch the car is going to be lol. Also if ill be back in Perth or away at work
Valve springs are done. Got my mechanic to give it a mafless tune too. First dyno read 344hp. Not too bad I suppose Will see if he can squeeze anymore out
Looks like 260kw or 350hp is all he could get. Not bad considering its a really small cam. Not sure if I wanna spend much more money on the engine. Still need to sort the body kit and suspension. Also been looking at the vf r8 sv clubby......very tempting. After about 9-12 months saving I could have the money for one if I sell the ss. See what happens
