You mig headers IJ?  I thought you would tig?

There you go, I would have said off the bat, all VS were IRS.  Good info.

^Pretty much exactly what Canton said to do with the sump they supplied.  Once I had it all going, first oil change (not filter) I used my catch pan that has litre graduations on it and wrote down how much drained.  When I did an oil change and changed the filter I did the same thing and recorded the amount so next time I knew either way how m…[Read more]

Thanks very much all

So have been giving some thought to troubleshooting this bad boy.  Tbh it has been an issue a couple of times.  It’s so angry/loud at idle it can be difficult to tell if it’s firing on every cylinder etc, or what the source of an issue is (at least to my untrained ear).

I think using my old school timing light I s…[Read more]

Well there is that, at least its done now…

Yep sure is…

Happy to design and make one of these up for you (or anyone else).  I would just charge the regular cost ($140) and do all the 3D modelling etc for nothing, but after would offer them on my website.  I actually think it would look super neat.

That makes me sad, if only I had stuck with the stock LS3.  I paid a number of times more than that just because of the bloody emmision testing.  This thing will be a weapon mate in a little, light, 1st gen.

Cheers IJ, appreciate that.  It is a bit of a peaky moment seeing it in it.

Wow, I am daunted just looking at that, and I am not doing it!!

Well, sort of feel like after how much it took to get to this point I may as well

Good stuff, interesting about the welding certification, mine didn’t need/want that, just goes again to show how it can vary subtly between engineers on what they accept.  Looks like no surprises there though, well done.

Looks like I am enjoying my 15 minutes of fame

Looking great

Just playing.

Actually, look nice I reckon with some slim line rocker switches either side.  Just a very rough mock up.

(Sorry for the thread hijack btw!!!)

Always good to give yourself a deadline.  Looks like you have the bulk of it sorted.

I bought something a bit like that a long way back (can’t for the life of me remember its name) but was pretty clunky.  And you had to touch buttons on the back of it to enter.  So it made it so you couldn’t build it into the dash or whatever.  So this one looks like you could, say the din pocket under the radio in a VR/S for example with a co…[Read more]

If you can IJ, take lots of pics along the way, please.  I think making your own headers is out of reach of most of us mere mortals skills wise.  I for one would love to follow along as you go!
