Morton's blue VN Executive

Does that drop or raise the running pressure? I've heard of people doing that

More oil pressure if i remember right immorality and delco have also done it.. I know it makes me worry a little less when I have it sitting at 5500 lol

Edit: btw i think it cost about 10-15 from holden so its worth giving a go

Hey i got 5 Ecotec springs From Holden Mildura, for $25 sent one over to delco, They are great, no more knocks when you get a cold morning startup and it puts your mind at ease knowing you have good oil pressure haha

I may have to look into this one will be well worth the investment if there aren't any drawbacks (like flooding the rocker covers 304 style)

Hahaha nah mate, it looks gangster ^_^


meanwhile, I've been tinkering away all night tonight.

Replaced all heater hoses and heater tap (goooood fun this job)
Replaced clutch cable and adjusted to maaad spec
Re-bled cooling system
Installed castor rod bushes with my remaining will to live

Have some eye candy:


Old bloated and gutted hoses:

Old stretched and broken clutch cable:

Shiney new castor rod goodness, these should last a while

And my little kit for installing super-hard polyeurethane one-piece castor rod bushes and tubes:

Haha cheers dude, I just wish I didn't have a full time job or I'd get a lot more done ^_^ Hats off to the missus for putting up with me

Feel free to do my car

lol ^_^ bring it down to Vic and we can discuss a price


Meanwhile, I thought I'd throw in some new engine mounts:

And I thought since the castor rod bushes were in, I'd put some new boots on the reco control arms with new pivot and castor bushes

Now I just need to get some new strut tops, and get someone with a rattle gun to help me change them over

 

[Phoenix21]

It should be rolling in a month, come around and we'll got for a burn down the median on Springvale Rd ^_^

looking forward to it mate lol i miss the days off the old vp lol

 

[Morton]

Cheers for tonight ari

Went 'round to Ari's workshop and rattled the nuts off the old strut tops ^_^

While we were in there, we salvaged the old gold Monroe GT Sport shocks from my VQ struts and whacked them in these ones Parred up with the King springs from the VQ and some brand new Superpro strut tops, it should ride a treat!! (and be roadworthy)

The old shocks were feeeegged. Didn't even return when we pushed them in!!

Now to throw them in the VN

 

[Morton]

Threw the reco'd struts in tonight, and screwed in some new tie rod ends!

Those blue strut tops look pretty nice ^_^ Daaamn they set me back a few bucks though >_>

Also got the discs machined today (still doing this project on the cheap ^_^)
