CommodoresPlus

Depends what year Vette, the newer one use a transaxle mounted unit. So flange is great. Shifter setup, not so much. Would still be more expensive anyway. Personally I’d have extended the adapter to the split in the gearbox case with the bigger bolts.

Why use the existing unit, easy …. cost.

Yeah, Atlas trasfer cases and the like can be installed remotely. 720 dato’s I think are factory divorced cases???

In this case the problem is actually on the gearbox side. The T56 doesn’t have a removable tail housing like the T5 & 4L60 etc boxes do.
So that leaves 2 options, cutting the end of the box off & welding a flange to it or doing…[Read more]

You could always mount the winch to the back of the tonner and run a couple of rollers on the trailer.

I think you’ll be well into a waiting list by then.

If you want to do Mt Alma you’ll need to get in quick, there’s been waiting lists in previous years.

Aero will probably help too :p it’s a quick steep hill.

Yeah by about 50:1 :p

I’m pretty sure the Lexcen shares it’s guards with the statesmans. The Commodores are different at the indicator cutout as they’re shallower.

Probably but he’d also have cut 300kg out of it and made it barely strong enough to last. :p :(

In other news, congrats on getting it running. Will look awesome out on the dirt.

Industrial Springs in Adelaide also make Automotive springs, If you know what you’re after.

Either from their catalogue or full custom if you can tell them the build specs you want. (length, dia, gauge, etc)

You’re going to have to pull the steering rack out to get that drivers side one in. There’s barely enough room to fit a set of V6 headers in there without pulling the rack off. (and isn’t for some header designs.)

Great work :D

One little thin I’d do to make life easier in the future is put a band of red or black heat shrink every few hundred mm’s on the battery cables. that way you don’t have to trace them back to figure out which is which from the middle.

Ok, I’d probably have bought red & black cable but that’s just me. :p

Ah, Club sprints.

Gary, both WACC and SDCC do them here.

Switches on the switch panel?

Lazy engineering does have advantages. :D

I love the Porsche engineers, changes from 996 to 997 seems to be head & tail lights.
