Also keep in mind your ancillaries when looking at a rebuild/conversion.

Will you need a new/secondhand alternator, power steering rack/pump, water pump, belts/pulleys, radiator, the list goes on.

I’ve been looking at rebuilding the lS1 or going an LS3 conversion, and when you look deeper there are small costs that all add up. Little things like…[Read more]

paying stupid money for X amount of horsepower isn’t necessarily going to make a car fun to drive either, people who actually enjoy driving will pay attention to things like the balance of the car, tyre and wheel choice, suspension and bushings, throttle response and and where your power band is.

This sums up my love for cars. Anyone can read all day about how “this VE put out 1000hp”, but I want to know HOW it works.

What parts did they use and why, what made certain parts more suitable than others, how do those parts actually work together and what dramas did he have trying to put it all together? Are there any new…[Read more]

our server at work needs a MYOB update…

Cant do that because all existing orders have to be processed first…

Still wouldnt work because new MYOB won’t run on any of our computers with windows XP…

Cant upgrade to windows 8 on some of them because they’re too old…

Will also need new versions of Microsoft office because old office won’t…[Read more]

if there ever was a magazine dedicated to home-builds/in-progress-builds, that went into more detail regarding the build and timeframe, problems that arose and home-made fixes, dramas about roadworthy and/or emissions tests etc, i’d susbscribe three times over.

It would crap on a bunch of half a page write-ups about trailer queens and their $20k…[Read more]

wow this is well done

I hope im allowed to post this link, sorry if i’m not :(

CONVINCE BLAKE TO COME HERE!!!

Do a write-up (or let us know if there is one already??)

this thing sounds insane, and looks awesome, very clean cut

it might also be worth noting that (most) LS motors are more “streetable”. boosted 600-800hp LS motors are often roaming the street, and you’d never know.

They handle traffic fine, they idle smoothly, if anything they drive as smoothly as a std one. So if it’s a daily application i’d seriously consider that and the fact that given a good tune it…[Read more]

Surely they wouldn’t call a 2-door a “commodore”??

would still be awesome to have a LSA powered rwd Cadillac or the like come over though

JEREMY CLARKSON GOT FIRED :(……

But to paraphrase one of his quotes of wisdom:

“undertaking someone should never be illegal, because logic dictates that if I had enough room to undertake him, HE HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO MOVE OUT OF THE FRIGGIN WAY”

It’s a testament to how strong the commodore/holden scene is, and how completely useless the owners of SC were….

It’s a shame that an enormous amount of useful info might die with SC though

Running My dad’s business, selling Data and networking Equipment, cabling, cabinets and everything in between

I think about a thousand people all crossed their fingers for you mate, watching with much anticipation….

topped up the oil in the LS1, changed the power steering fluid, no more whine at full lock

Still piston slapping, still the best car in the woooooooorld (jeremy clarkson accent)

Sucks to hear about the break-in… Hope they didn’t take anything too valuable :(

New forum looks pretty schmick, well done congratulations on the emissions test, glad to hear you’re a huge step closer to enjoying your hard work!!
