I need you at work mate… Great presentation

What sort of vibration mate? Is it there at certain speeds or is it rpm related, under accel or decell? Not questioning  the diagnosis, but have you tried putting it in neutral at speed to let engine return to idle rpm?  May help in separating driveline vs engine vibration issues.

Very nice mate. Keep the updates coming

Wasn’t it Enzo Ferrari that said horsepower sells cars, torque wins races?

Good to see a good paint guy / finisher here.

I have a question, theses waterless cleaners like F1 and McGuires.  Do they work or am I’m not using the shit properly.

I’m just talking about just dust removal here.  When I use these, they leave swirls in the wax.  I use a new rag too.

What’re are your thoughts on these waterless products mate?

Congrats mate.  You have done an awesome job.

Starter motor issues with heat!!

Yeah.  Buy the right stuff, don’t use compressed air. Works well

Over the Westgate mate, Altona. I fuel up in Hoppers Crossing and Point Cook. We have heaps of E85 out this way, but I reckon I’ll stick to the Westgate Bridge United.

Morning,

Engine had done maybe 3,000km.  Half on PULP, the other 1500 on E85.  I noticed when swapping out a Come Manifold to a TP ProPaw.  Then engine out to put a bigger cam, up comp and change ring pack.

Didn’t realise it was down too much on power.  10.8 @ 125 on PULP vs 10.7 @ 126 on E85. It should’ve gone better on the E85 than it did, but…[Read more]

Agreed.  Get it done FLI 355. You won’t regret it and you’ve got a car thats definately worthy of this engine.

Street friendly is something you could deal with every day in all traffic conditions on 40 degree days and not worrie about it in the slightest way and not get pulled over and if you do the cops don’t blink a eye at it and defected it because of it’s noise or illegal stuff

Good thread.  Manta, what is the definition of street friendly?

FLI 355’s engine builder is pretty good at what he does.  This is not about bragging, it’s to back up FLI 355 here.  My Holden V8 has a big SR cam, high compression etc.  FLI 355 has said $ is not an issue, which is what stops people doing this to a Holden V8.

I painted my flexible t-bar slide.  Comes up like new.  Not much can be done about gear indicator and it’s hard to find good ones

Only me, but I would replace them mate.

Very nice.  What type of scoop is that mate? Any pics of the underside of the bonnet?
