I don't know how many guys here play racing games but Mount Panorama was just announced for the upcoming exclusive Xbox One racing game Forza Motorsport 5. Forza Motorsport - Bathurst is Coming! Just waiting for confirmation on HDT Brock Commodores, Toranas, Monaros and GT Falcons..

Stall was bought off someone so don't know who built it. Running standard cooler. Dizzy rebuilt by Hume Performance. Here's the thing about the timing. No one knows how set the damn thing properly. Took it to a dyno tuner but it felt worse than before the tune. The engine has been dieseling...

I don't know if my 308 is overheating or if gauge is playing up. It's mildly worked with big cam and 3000 stall Trimatic. The needle starts to rise about half way in 20 30 minutes of driving. Then, it starts to rise right up to red if I continue driving. The motor doesn't ping or feel...

That's me mate! I haven't been on any holiday in my entire life. I'm 36 years old and haven't even been interstate. I decided that I would like to go overseas and funds would've been needed to go hence the sale on ebay. That lasted 1 day as i just couldn't bear to see this go after so much work...

Probably look better with the silver centre mesh instead of the gold, but wanted to try something different. The springs are King superlow front and back with shortened KYB shocks.

No, bought it from Melbourne. It had the SLE wheels on it but I had my own Simmons and put them on instead. Yeah, the quarter vents both are held in by screw. Trying to find some on Ebay :)

Did pretty much everything. Paint,suspension,motor..etc

Motor is a 308 with flat tops, 10:5.1 compression, big cam, Brock heads and manifold, modified quaddy and dizzy, 3000 stall, VL diff. 200rwk. I've intentionally left the engine bay looking factory. I don't know, I just like the look of factory with added performance. Interior is original...

Alright, so I've almost finished the project. Went with no flares lol. I've also stored the 253 and went with a 308. Left the engine bay looking factory, but built the engine to Group 3 235kw HO spec. I'm glad I did.

Ok, so, I've found out that the VH Trimatic has the blue 9 teeth drive gear and 21 teeth green driven gear. For my tyre and diff ratio specs, I'm going to need the 24 teeth yellow driven gear in order to get to 97/kph@100 which is the closest i'm going to get to being correct and safe. Thanks...

VH SLE

My VH had the small salisbury 2.68? ratio diff. We swapped the diff for a VL diff with 3.45 gears. Now, when we took off the speedo gear, it was the green one with 21 teeth. We then installed the blue 22 teeth drive. The speedo is now reading is way off. So, can someone please tell me what the...

Material? You mean what paint?

I've used bumper bar black paint, VHT plastic trim paint, acrylic high heat..etc So, you think 2pac should work?

Ok, i've painted a load of **** in my time but this is just shitting me. I'm trying to repaint the door mirrors on the VH in black, but every time I apply some paint, it just dries off in minutes and returns to it's tired looking state. I've gone through all the usual prep, washing, wax and...
