Yeah to run one in the middle your car would have to be very high ride height or start chopping some steel and foam out of your rear seat and box it up a bit

Iv got 2 3 inch varex muffler on the rear iv got pics on my thread witch is couple done the list in the vs manta build

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

Fitting one in the mid muffler will be a tight fit

They are not small exspecially if it’s a 3 inch or twin 3 inch

In got twin 3 inchs varex mufflers on the rear and yes they don’t sound as good as the manga flow mufflers I had before but they do shut it up a lot

They should come complete ready to bolt in

But if your running adjustable top plate you need to remove the top bearing plate on the strut

This is fearly straight foward, just undo the locking rings for bottom of spring and undo them so the spring is free and has movement

Then undo the top nut and the whole top bearing will come of in a heap of pieces and then just slip it Into your new top plate and wait till it’s all installed before tightening up the rings on bottom of springs and top plate

Hi mate

Car is goin good now, after my rear axel miss hap but honestly I think it will happen again but I like a breakable link other wise it will shatter my gear box and axels are so much easier to replace

It’s making insane power and torque, it’s about to under go a new type of tune, currently is tuned with tuner pro but is getting changed will probley leave it till it’s all finished to show them results.

But it’s making 430 rwkw with more left in it and water meth to turn on yet and that on 98

The hours iv put into it are insane

Think I’ll change the leather inserts on door trims as that wasn’t thought out very well but apart from that the car really is just sitting and been used every now and then

Roll cage in order one day and tidy up so me loose ends but it really does look complete now in my eyes as far as building goes

I don’t have my build threads on others forums any more just here and my own fb page witch iv added a few car mates onto

How is your mental manta goin ??

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

That awesome

I seen a white adventador drive past the front of the crown (on spencer st is it)on about Monday or Tuesday

Was breath taking looking machine

If i planed it better I would do a full day getting to drive a few, I seen a full day with 6 supercars but don’t think there was a track involved

At the end of the day you only live once and chances of owning something like these isn’t great yet along a whole different bunch of them over your life time so really unless your a billion air this is the only way to experience a whole bunch of them

Did you notice a noticable difference between say a 911 compared to a gt2 or rs or gt3 depending on witch you got to drive ??

Like did you notice $100K difference or just a little better in every way ?

It’s actually called

born from joe gibbs racing

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

Just google joe gibbs

Every where in the states and also you tube

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

Most oils are pretty average, well there good but not great as they make them comply with emissions and stuff

Drag racing teams realise this and make there own oils

Watch some joe gibbs things on you tube as they have great segments explaining what to use, as what one recommends in QLD where it’s constently above 10 or so degrees might not be so great in SA in winter in -5 degrees

Problem with these oils are they don’t last a long time not like 5000km anyway but I don’t see Gary leaving his oil much over 1000km

Joe gibbs
Brad penn
Lucas

Joe gibbs makes a oil for the LS engines and is LS30 also read lots of guys using BR30 in there LS engines

Me I use nothing but joe gibbs or if I carnt get it second choice brad penn

Pavtek sell Goe gibbs oils

Can you hear coming from a side or is it apear to be ever where with out been able to pin point it

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

Iv seen a loose rocker do weird things before

Check before discounting it

Along with any other suggestions that is a simple check procedure

Things arnt alway like they seam, I know it seams like it should make noise all the time but myth busters have been majorly supprised before as well

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

Check a rocker hasn’t come loose

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

Awesome stuff

Big thumbs up to that

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

Nice, and I take it they bolt straight onto a vt-vz

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

Looks good

Iv never seen of these with boost, I’m waiting for the day some one pops up with a boosted vp GTS

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

Yeah aftermarket industries do the best serge tanks ever

The quality is second to none

But also think moving fuel lines further away from gear box and bell housing and wrapping them in heat wrap has helped and also all the Hpc coating has reduced heat, every thing all adds up for a better round system

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

Very nice

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

Carnt want to be beside this at a brissvagas power cruise

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

Yes fuel is all sorted

Goes like a rocket but still behaves like a retard down low rpm

Fuel system is silent and can not even hear it prime up, can only tell because I can hear fuel squishing through regulator

Doin some road tuning first as I have a new tuner now and wants to get it driving nice, then dyno for some power runs then find some quite roads to fine tune anything that needs touching up in 1st, 2nd And 3rd under power

Iv got my 2 boost limiter valves fitted now witch vent anything above 15psi and also think I’m goin to run water meth constently from what ever psi it is at 4000rpm and progressive till 6000rpm at witch point it will run full till 6800 top limit so I can drive and mostly not use it only under hard throttle will it come on

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

Oo and all the screws used on door trims I just cleaned with a nylon brush like a wire wheel thing that is used in a drill and then painted them as well

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

Can see in this pic every piece around the windows on the out side have all coped this treatment and now has a extremely clean look

All painted in jet black gloss 2k paint

Some may say it won’t stick blah blah blah but I’m over 2 years in and every piece is exactly like it was when I painted it and looks 100% better and looks even better then factory in my oppion as it’s not dull, gives a shiny show car look
