Did yours still have the rear muffler attached?

Hi Guys.

After some of the expert’s opinions when it comes to exhausts for the old 304.

I currently have a Manta (Redback) 2.5″ single catback (as pictured below) paired with a 200 cell high flow cat and Advance Tri Y’s.

While it does have a nice note to it from the outside of the car, it’s damn near silent inside. I have both the slip on…[Read more]

Like above, a loose rocker could cause issues like that.

I have also seen rockers tap against the rocker covers at certain rpm too, the 5L rocker covers if not tensioned correctly can slide down slightly causing contact between the tip of the rocker and the cover.

So do I, thats what drew me to it originally.

This is about as new as my taste goes, but it still makes me feel like I am driving something much older than it is. (especially with essentially 50 year old engine technology haha)

Cheers Sen.

Decided to get away from it all for a bit, safe to say i’m going to be spending the public holiday tomorrow detailing the car now, i’m finding dirt in parts of the car I never even knew existed.

Maybe give ULX a call and see what they recommend in the ULX range being in SA.

Most of the really high performance race car and track car guys in SA either run Royal Purple or ULX oil.

I have run penrite HPR30 for years, I love it, mainly because I want something with high zinc for the flat tappet cam etc

Hi Guys.

I was looking for ages for something different for summer cruising (after selling my old weekend warrior) I looked at some some VK’s XD’s XF’s then looked at VN SS’s and VR/VS SS’s and I couldn’t find anything that suited my pickyness when it came to condition. Then by chance I ended up finding this for sale after I had stopped…[Read more]

Hi Guys.

This is my weekend cruiser, those on the forum who know me from other forums (JC, SC etc) know I don’t do LS engines.

Hi Guys.

This is my weekend cruiser, those on the forum who know me from other forums (JC, SC etc) know I don’t do new cars, I would much rather pump my hard earned into something with character than something that everyone else on the road has (like a VE).
