Hey, Yeah I’m in SA, Mount Gambier to be exact. A long way from you. but a few guys from Adelaide traveled down for the event.

It’s a motorkhana inspired event, where drifting/smoke is the key. unlike motorkhana.

It was the first event of its kind here. So I…[Read more]

I had an ecu that was claimed to be for a 286 + Blue tops + Extractors.

Currently don’t have blue tops. That ecu would barely idle, the IAC was wide open and wouldn’t hold constant revs under 4000rpm it would just surge and after that rev high. Runs a lot better with the stock memcal.

Entered a local Driftkhana event. Failed hard, but had fun.

Recently decided to steal all the stereo gear out of my other car i haven’t driven for 2 years.

So now Has:

Rockford T1 6.5″ Components up front.

Rockford T1 Coax 6″ in rear doors.

Kenwood 600w 4ch.

Kenwood 1ooow Mono.

Unsure what to do with the parcel shelf holes.

New one is definitely faster. haha.

Had the calais for 1 year. minus a week.

Thanks. Changed The rear cradle and Control arms etc to VZ ones for less negative camber and toe adjustment.

Also changed the leaky diff while i was there (new diff twins). and rear shocks.

Done boring things like the rocker cover gaskets and ac belt (now has working aircon)

Sold! Now have an LS1 WH.

Final pics of interior and it driving off haha.

Thanks. Will get more pics soon. When its cleaned up haha.

Changed my driveshaft boots finally.

Next up is inlet manifold gasket. Rocker cover gaskets. Injector o rings. Fuel tank. And front brake pads.

“Apparently” has a crane 286. Not sure how true this is. Any way to tell without taking the cam out?

Went with that clutch to be prepared for anything in the future.

Maybe twin throttle bodies. Different cam etc.

In the small distance I’ve driven it so far the clutch seems pretty easy to drive with.

SC. that is all.

Looks very neat, great first car.

Any plans on changing the grille?

Getting some ideas for my 5l conversion.

Great job!
