If I was banned I wouldn’t be expecting dead links to all, especially when only a member of SC. It is working at work now.

I can’t get access to emgroup, magstore or 4wdaction. Who knows..

All still here, also have:

-VL V8 fan shroud $50

-VS V8 long range fuel tank $150

Location?

I have the Lunati Voodoo 237/242 similar to the Texas Speed. With the stall, I wouldn’t worry about a smaller cam as you’ll be in the powerband when you want to be. Mine was behind a T56 and was a dog off the line. 2sec+ 60ft times but crossing the line at 115mph. If it doesn’t sell, it will be a similar stall to that listed but with a 4speed auto.

A 9 inch can easily be done but people want twice the money, the centre in a 9 inch nearly weighs as much as a “VLT” diff, and the weak point can end up being created by converting a 9inch. Personally, most of my friends have had axles fail over centres, none have had billets fitted. Another problem many have with a nine inch is tailshaft…[Read more]

Looks like a great runabout. Just like a weekender, it’s easy for the daily hack to cop similar love. One of the guys at work here would be on the same forum, he just plasti-dipped his matt black before getting sidetracked with a twin turbo soarer. Can’t work that one out as he already has a worked XR6T lol.
Any real bang for buck performance…[Read more]

That is awesome. Nice clean old school tones with a retro heart. Good to see you finally found a forum open to new members and look forward to updates ;)

Yet to touch Victoria’s offerings lol. 5L was from SA, 4.2L was from ACT, green SLX was from Sydney. Couldn’t tell you how many VB-VL’s I have parted out since 2001, close to 40. Most were damaged, some i’d wish I kept. Green SLE trim never sells is all i’ve learnt lol

Last update as of a week ago was I got a set of VL heads cheap to save molesting the B cast set. VL heads are identical in valve size, already have hardened valve seats, and are only missing some light porting to make them the same as Brocks offering. The dash is out, just have to swap over the air con setup as mice have lived inside of it and the…[Read more]

The car come with what i’d class as a bodged up diff being a wagon 10 bolt with sedan shock mounts welded on. After going through the hunt for a replacement diff housing and being dicked around by two pricks who couldn’t take pics but were “sure it was a sedan 10 bolt”, one was found at a mates place I had forgotten about. Another item for the…[Read more]

There is a little bit happening now that the garage is free of excess parts and there is some room to move. The interior has been cleaned of 30yrs of bull dust, trim has been reinstalled, dash is yet to be pulled out and replaced but will be next on the agenda.
I pulled the engine yesterday ready for the heads to be removed and sold. From there…[Read more]

Got all of my trim back from the detailers in the last day or two. Had 2 sets of carpet/front seats/kickpanels and 3 rear seats/sets of door trims shampooed and detailed, come up great. The best will be fitted to the 2 tone when dry and the second best is already reinstalled into the 253 not in the picture. Now just have to offload 1 set of door…[Read more]

Not much of an update at the moment ;) I’ve done about another 1500kms sourcing bits and extending the collection to 5 VH’s :S
Another SLE was sourced for blue velour trim in better nick, but it may stay in the garage as well and replace the green SLX. It is a 253 single tone in Tahitian blue ;) It even had some “Reebok inspired” pump up lumbar…[Read more]

Facebook buy,swap,sell score. SLE rims with decent tyres and caps, no rash $100 ;)

Edo spec pic of inside. All electrics except fan work. Some issues to rectify are dashtop is cracked, usual vinyl lift on console, carpet needs to be refitted to cut out slack and seats need a clean. The tint has some scratches, so that will be removed as well for now. I’m tossing up whether to source best of old parts or get Pro-Stitch in Carlton…[Read more]
