knead it works surprisingly well on exhaust pinholes…tried it out on vp ute with rusted out factory exhaust.

So tp turbo b/housing for trimatics wont fit ls? How come?

Early girl on a diet with ls/trimatic/borgwarner would haul ass down track…big fan of trimatics!!!

Rear arms like to bend at spring perch…although mainly happens at track with slicks whereas streeters like to unpick top mounts off chassis with spool diffs.

Heard of guys welding rods inside the arms while others put them in lipped part of arm.

Remember this with tunnel; rammed 308 I think.

Got measurements for diff/wheels/tyres?

I like to see how other blokes do their diffs/wheel combo

Ol trick with convertor is slot it in & keep spinning untill get the 3 clicks..by then it’s usually lightly rubbing on inside of bellhousing.

With a mate or two to help you + those adjustable levelling things you can use with engine hoists seems much easier these days.

Clearing vt booster & fitting extractors will always be a b@tch with…[Read more]

Fairly simple idea as it’s just thicker plate on top of bootfloor that has larger surface area for weight of tank to pull on for support.

Put your tan in with straps it will show you where to drill hole then just just high tensile bolt welded to plate as above.

You can just see spotwelds inside the red circle..that one in pic looks like…[Read more]

Can’t see a pic but guessing you mean stud passenger side tank strap bolts to?

If so replacement floors have like a indented square near where boot floor meets inner beaver panel..you drill out original plate with with stud & weld that to indented piece after drill hole for stud.

Replacement floors easy to spot as usually don’t have holes…[Read more]

Agree we do mods for performance but doesn’t hurt to neaten up the engine bay while we’re there…hate ugly messy engine bays which caused a mini-rebuild grr

I spend heaps more time tinkering on cars than driving them so do like to make them neat as possible but do draw the line at buying shit just for looks.

That being said when roller door…[Read more]

Yeah seppo’s have dyno sheets proving it but who cares when can keep the stock bonnet & heaps of other ways to get power back & then some.

Told Dale @ CHE only buying an lsa if we find Caddy top….instead found my 2 tone sle

Gary these caddy tops make them even uglier lol

Don’t forget it’s got the very much wanted power killer Caddy top

Looked at buying lsa very closely when CHE did the black vh that needed chassis spacers & caddy top to keep it all under stock bonnet.

Damn Caddy tops

Decent job considering it’s been in garage with very cold weather.

Might only need rub back & buff on doors?

Neighbours would call the cops if I tried that lol

Had a line on cheap vl manual rack but no steering link but tosser just doubled price.

I’ve got vp ute too.

Rack is leaking rack & possibly clunking so I’d rather have gone manual rack than reco powersteering setup.

These would be perfect if we could do historic/60 day rego

Haha no doubt that would be impressive…that the dude had lpg turbo from SC forum?

Would love to go 6 litre in shitbox vp ute one day.

C’mon Cav maaa’aaate we just tryin’ to help ya spend money in right places…..really just saving you time on shit we’ve already bent or broken or mistakes lol

With plate inside car for the top control arm brackets you can still fit seat easily enough.

If you run a 9 you’ll only want to try for an 8..it never ends haha

So lower vl link that gets swapped over are all same whether powersteer or manual?

Any more progress on this?

Did a search on vl steering this thread popped up.

Just to clarify if using vl manual rack can I get lowest link off any vl then get pressed onto vp steering link for it to work?

If it’s enough to scare actual shit out of ya then it’s 1hp too much 

Gary..the anti-rollbar usually end up looking like upside down swaybar setup & very effective,does make streetcar feel more like wheelbarrow haha

Cav..stitch-weld toparm plate to floorpan from underneath then put decent sized plate inside car on top…can stitch it but not necessary.

Then back from underneath drill say 4 holes,use high…[Read more]
