Yep, stock Sportwagon Tare is 1.89, then double sized AGM battery, and a massive Odyssey all-lead military spec., proper dual battery management gear, spare wheel, 45lt fridge freezer, 12 bottle Vintec, Class 4 tow-bar, decent amp and sub, extra soundproofing… and that’s before two full sized adults, luggage, and… stock and trade: at lea…[Read more]

Yeah the last generation Commodore and it’s powertrain (the last of the LS) cops it for being fat, dumb, inefficient and outmoded.
Basically a bogan wagon that’s fair game for the great unwashed, who simply don’t get it.
I am lucky I guess in that I get to travel to interesting regional country locations, hence after evaluating all potentia…[Read more]

Hmm I am not sure about standalone processing power of that unit, is the same processor as used in the original Mac Plus 30-odd years ago, so I think it may need a co-processor to handle flex calcs.

Yeah, what ECU are you running? Strictly speaking it is a belts and braces precautionary measure – you don’t need it at least not when running e38 or e67 with EFILive custom OS. Possible for ECU to calculate ethanol percentage based on O2 reading in any case but dedicated sensor is probably worth the $120 if ECU has the pin free.

That’s better. I was meaning the mobile layout where it all cascades under the one menu button, the main bit of the site – the forum – doesn’t expand as a matter of course.
So to many the nested sub menu under the most important thing is hidden, showing latest post, members, garage, sponsors, etc., not really obvious where the forum and more…[Read more]

The ideal combo from GM right now would be the ATS-V (Alpha platform), and apparently it will be here in a few years.
It is a three litre twin turbo:
For me the last line sums it up: “I wanna hear a V8”.
