More best wishes to Georgie for her exams.

ah, crap. Well you did a good job of that one, glad you’re still around & playing with cars.

That old Dato is awesome, I wonder if it’s still around?

haha, yeah there’s not much VR really left now. :p

I have Volume 8 (wiring diagrams) of the VR factory manuals, PM if u need something.

Yeah, H.D. would probably sue the government for Patient or trademark infringement if they quietened them down……. That said I’d say most superbikes are over the limit at higher revs anyway.

Old lawnmowers are over 95 dB from memory.

Power windows are normal in rally cars though. :p

Yeah, Touring car mmasters where on track at the time. I remember the loudest car was a little Escort, you could hear it over everything. It was still 90 dB at the fence 20??m away.

I was working at the Clipsal trackside years ago, last turn out side. There was an official with a noise meter measuring the cars while racing.

There are free apps that you can use to measure decibels, no idea on accuracy but it will be close enough to guess.

That’s clever…..

haha, yeah more power’s normally easy. :p

Put a TKO manual trans in and you’ll probably get 40kg back.

The 4L60 isn’t a light trans, I don’t want to think what the 4L80 weighs. :p

That’s still rather impressive. There’s not that much fat in the old base models to remove, even the V6 itself isn’t that heavy.

No doubt, would be a better way for subs to work though.

Only for a small amount of replies between activity.
And I don’t think selecting it each response changes anything.

I do get notifications if it’s a thread I’ve started though. (touch wood)

I don’t think most ‘retirements’ these days are happy, at least you haven’t retired from life as well.

The number of idea’s i have floating around in my head I’d need to win a lotto megadraw before I could start any of them.

Lucky bugger

I’d love to have the time and cash to build something like this.

The PBR rear brakes for the VR /VS are the same diameter as stock, just vented. Also look at doing some brake ducts for at the track.

Holmart in Melbourne are known to have surplus HSV brake kits as well.

I think I’m down to the last few bits before I take the car to Regency to get the conversion signed off.
