this is Holden V8 porn!
love it

it will be 1/10th scale so about 15-20cm high.

I haven’t got the model yet, still looking around for the right one, but that one is fairly close to what I’m looking at. The really fine details aren’t an issue.

I will send you a file once I decide with the one I’m going with, see what you think

cheers

I was thinking something more along the lines of this, in the correct pose of course
Is this model too complex to print ?

it’s not car parts, but I’ll be building up a scale RC Huey Helicopter soon – long term project!
It’s around 1/10th scale.

Can’t seem to find pilots in the right scale, so was thinking about creating a couple of pilots with something like Daz 3D or Poser, export them in a 3D printer friendly format and find someone to print them for me.

that’s Holden porn 

I’m hoping to get myself a set of COME 590 heads in the not too distant future

Wish my budget could also extend to one of those Grp A manifolds… will just have to make do with my Trickshift copy

Did my apprenticeship as a mechanic at a Holden dealer, spent about another 10 years in the trade. Got to road test a few brand new VL Walkinshaws and VN Grp A’s, which was fairly awesome, especially for an apprentice who was a huge Commodore fan. That was about the only perks of an otherwise unrewarding career.

wow… that’s a worry
I’d also be looking at your injectors (if you are running EFI)

awesome, good to find another person loyal to the Holden V8. I live and breathe Holden V8 as well.
LS engines have their place, but not in first gens IMO

there’s a few clear plastic restoration products you can buy that might sort out the yellowing and fine scratches from the gear indicator

Something like this ?

although it was better than Fords idea of sticking at the front of the engine. As soon as the car hit water, the fan would blow the water straight into the distributor lol

the damn things block up all the time too. Mine are way past their used by date
Rare Spares wants nearly $70 for a pair…..

it certainly launches & tracks straight for something doing sub 10’s. I think it’s one of the big reasons it manages such a good ET.

You might be surprised to know it was still running a Commodore rear end setup in that run- no 4 link last time I spoke to him. One of his priorities is to keep the car reasonably street legal and driveable. Even h…[Read more]
