definetly gut the cats, they are shit anyway

 

once where warriors now are scaffolders

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Is there any welds on that at all ??

 

best fuel system around these things, so glad someone still makes quality products

who reported me ?? Lol must be xr6t guy with a bit of but hurt

 

if it’s just the tread on the back tyres breaking off I will be happy Gary lol

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

That’s exactly right Gary

 

if the cats are breaking that much better then the rear axels that where breaking last time lol

It’s never run that rich at all, we had the old tune and tuner to be able to make a base tune for when I fitted LS PCM and it ran pretty dam sweet straight away,

 

slightly rich but nothing enough to distroy cats

 

couldn’t really care to be honest, when I installed them I really did think about putting flange on both sides of cats for when this day comes but then I decided against it as less joins means less leaks so my cats are welded to a 900mm of 3.5 inch pipe

 

ill just go from 100cpi to 1 cell all up, luckily e85 burns clean

Metal core

 

Magnaflow i think they where

 

Just can not handle the flow

 

Heard of lots folding over,  even my mates cammed ls2 folded over twin cats

 

Think they where x force ones

So the manta has been running a little off lately, mind you Iv only driving it a few times since it was last tuned

 

but it was down on power and felt like it was shutting down

 

anyway I removed cats yesterday for a inspection

 

So these are 3.5 inch 100cpi cats that have done less then 300km total driving distance

 

1 was jammed down the pipe and caved in and the second could mave back and fowards about 150mm and also caved in

 

100cpi cats do not flow as good as people have told me, if you haven’t guessed the last cats on pacemaker extractors I was a little smarter and may have removed some parts to make them flow better so I never had this problem

yeah eBay galvanized surge tank and twin 044

that would work perfectly and only cost about $200 total

 

good to see you got the best of the best though, very smart choice

 

you will be supprised at how quite it is

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Good stuff

 

a couple of ebay 044 would of done the job nicely  but  a serge might work better

Or am I a complete novice to the Monaro seen and the kits all the same from 2002 to 2005 ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Ok so Iv found a place to make the kit

 

next question is there any body difference between a 2002 Monaro and a 2005

 

reason been is I would do the last vz style GTO kit

 

only difference I can think of is the head lights, is there any others? Are the body’s the same ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Iv certainly got Robert valastro asking me every day to bring myn on the 2800km road trip to this event with him

 

still undecided yet

 

very very tempted though

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Ok dam genuine

 

coming in at $600 a side skirt and $400 for the rear window piece I dont think I will be putting down $2500+ for a genuine kit 

 

Looks like I may be staying factory kit then as only thing Iv found is some kit that makes a Monaro look like a Tumor

 

 

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

And coil overs and full rubber bush change

 

maybe a few things might get wrapped in leather or suede

 

thats still classed as stock isn’t it ??

 

Well i class it as stock anyway lol

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Ok there’s a slim chance it may remain but just on the off chance I do what I want to on my own car and not what the majority want does anyone know where i can get the GTO or GTS kits to fit a Monaro ??

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

Just a set of them clear tail lights that I left on for about 8 months intentionally to annoy cava lol

[vs manta 218Participant Vs hsv manta View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 796]

No the tail lights have been sold off and I will never fit ones like that again lol

 

they now now live on a GTS though
