    Calling on the Shannons (or similar) insured V8 crew, can I have a price check please.

    Didn't think of that part. It is agreed for approx. $10k above market.

    Calling on the Shannons (or similar) insured V8 crew, can I have a price check please.

    As per the title. I'm currently up for $2,700 garaged, extreme limited use, modified HSV. I have had a couple of at faulters. I know these threads come up from time to time but would like a current comparison if anyone is willing? Anybody VE, VF V8, please comment with your insurer, price and...

    07GTS Build Thread

    5psi is a decent kick. Agreed it's annoying but better than having both running all the time. I get a 3psi kick when my 2nd 460 kicks in. I've been leaning at one of those aftermarket controllers to replace the hobbs switch on the 2nd pump. It can take a map signal and allow you to tune the...

    Running E85

    You guys are getting farked over. Be nearly cheaper to buy it in 200L drums from BP soon the way that price is heading. Was $2.2xL last time I filled up a couple of weeks back out here in regional Vic. Might be worth ringing up the racetracks to see what they're charging. They're usually more...

    Running E85

    What's the power gain between 98 and e85 on a N/A LS? Reason I ask, it is considerably more expensive to run a car on e85. You're at around $2.20ish per litre then approx 30% higher fuel consumption on-top of that.

    cams and timing chains done! cylinders misfiring though.

    Check the workshop manual too. No experience on your model, but other ones I've done some bolt holes are open to water and oil passages. The manual will call out thread sealer for those ones.
