Makes me feel even lazier reading IJ thread yet I actually do more car stuff than workmates or friends lol

Holesaw on the reinforcement bar & under bonnet save much weight?

All good got both early vh bulky & slimmer vs p/steer setups…want to go manual rack for lighter weight,extra exhaust clearance & most importantly sick of them leaking.

Bought vs 5 litre driveline dirt cheap yet still can’t find the parts I really want in Sydney.

You want to make me an offer on those vl seats or wait untill find parts?

Wouldn’t say I enjoy wiring although do like end result mind hiding all wiring etc in engine bays & getting it all to work nicely.

They some pretty pistons…what cr you aiming for?

Most people end up bending their own m/cyl bracket or try modding stocker.

Probably better off buying fibreglass bonnet with 4″ reverse cowl already done $700-$800 but can’t use bonnet struts or they bow…bonnets look better without scoop if car doesn’t need them.

Think that was their 1 7/8 pipes lsa kit with chassis drop kit & trans member for a customer..roughly 4k

Most end up on blown ls cars…those nice engine bays usually their handiwork too.

Really nice work,often booked out for months in advance grr

Some dudes cut or dent top cover of shocker…most just go rear drums…can also go later ford calipers apparently they can be made to fit down low to clear rail.

Lot of stuffing around for fat-ass sidewalls aint it lol

Looks like making good progress dude.

Think it might be a promatics already…I’ll have to check.

Maybe gave you the 3k stally just in case with a cam & pulley kit the extra torque will raise it higher lol

Have you seen any with ls9 tops put on them or too exxy compared to caddy top conversion?

Like the calais steering wheel better tbh!  Rarely see them on cars now.

Could knock up your own mace-style airbox or look for vt 5 litre airbox if want it to look more factory neat’ish.

vr series 2 v8 top will do the trick also….look neat with curved top although small/restrictive for a 5.7,some dude was selling them $40 new on ebay…[Read more]

Nice!!!

Was thinking of sending my trimatic down to him next year,seems to offer great work for the coin.

Thought you’d be wanting 3500rpm stally like most lsa conversions seem to have?

Most take fuse rail out of fusebox to mount them on L brackets so they poke through inner dash part that’s on left side of glove box when it’s opened…just remember never cut slot on right side or dash does 360 when opened lol

Haven’t touched nor had access to ghetto vk in so long can barely remember how I hid it all.

Have you got enough tyre clearance to tank with big wheels?

Will look good with the big wheels & fuel tank out back…reckon ot’s a better look than twin pipes on commo’s

Too hot up here also to go in garage lol.

Had a look at those fibreglass doors on fb by looks of them you could chop up your existing metal doors to weigh nearly the same…looks like windows get screwed into frame on their doors

They’d be ok for rear doors but not being able to wind windows down would peeve me badly on a cruise.

Liking…[Read more]

Bugger,it would be much less weight saving for a vp ute unless they do tailgates instead of 2 rear soors lol.

Never noticed could get decent aftermarket parts for th350…finding good case is hard enough.

Usually just see th400 or p/glide parts advertised

Engine harness & starter motor/batter power cable harness are separate plugs off main harness with fusebox.

Alot easier to re-route & hide under dash without factory heaterbox etc otherwise it mostly goes on between dash & factor heaterbox which means repeatedly fitting & removing dash parts.

You’ll laugh when you realise you spent…[Read more]

Tempted to go fibreglass bonnet too but looks like they bow if keep bonnet struts although 2.5k for 100kgs is steep lol

What are the doors like in weight saving & can they still take winder mechanism?

Nice!

Try it with larger air filter or without it to see if it gains that last 10th you want in top end..a scoop with isolation plate would probably get it there but would ruin how it looks now.

Cool to see it driven & raced.Well done mate.

I’d rather go simple cable with th400 box or atleast those adaptors that allow you to connect cable & speedo sensor.

Can also go cheaper method of buying obd2 display screen off ebay although jaycar gps speedo I had barely lasted a year & had to turn it on/off from switch
