Your Thoughts ? I'm thinking of shadow Chrome wheels and a tiny little bobtail spoiler.... A few little details to clean up. Wiper arms repainted, etc.

Tips for new users - when mounting PBR2 C5 Corvette rotors, mount them with the Bleed nipple on the top. Failure to do so will result in aching arms, legs and much swearing, losss of sleep and brake fluid everywhere. What happens is with the blled nipple facing downwards, a pocket of air...

I thinking of trying to adapt a VT-VX Monaro reat bar to a sedan. I like the cut out in it that forms the rear beaver panel. Anyone tried something like this before ? Ta.

Rule-breakers Coast's biggest killers Local Gold Coast News | goldcoast.com.au | Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia I have been pedaling this bike so long, than I feel pretty damn vindicated by this. There is hope yet.... CARELESS drivers flouting basic road rules kill more people than...

I've been mulling over the future plans for the v8 SC and I think the Silhoutte idea will turn people away in droves. So A workmate and I came up with this set of parameters. Make the engines relevant to many more people - 6 cylinder series. Make Engine technology relevant and encourage...

Electrical Glitch - SOLVED Ok - my VT is still gioving me headaches, so I am going to try and come at it from another end. One symptom that defies the book is that when revving the engine (in neutral) to 5K or therabouts, I am getting some deflection on the speedo needle. There is no...

So the blue bomber has developed a miss. I have replaced plugs leads, coil packs and DFI. checked the connections on the TPS, MAF, CAS, CPS and all the injector connectors. Degreased the engine throughly to make sure there is no shorts. Run wynns injector cleaner through, and while I was...

I'm bored. A non sequitur (pronounced /ˌnɒnˈsɛkwɨtər/) is a conversational and literary device, often used for comedic purposes. It is a comment which, due to its apparent lack of meaning relative to what it follows,[1] seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing, as in the...

I have finally tracked down a company that will supply the yank LIM (lower intake manifold) and the Plastic bunch of bananas UIM to suit ecotecs. Only thing is i am not so sure whether it's going to be worth it. With the Manifold spacer in place to increase runner lengths, dyno results are...

I am unhappy with my VT2 wipers. Noisy and not particularly effective. The head units are aftermarket ones that frankly are crap and plasticky. I'm wondering if anyone has experimented with other model wipers - maybe like the VE units and how effective / difficult to fit they were ? Any...

I want to see this as a Gillette Ad.

Zero Blood Alcohol Laws a Possibility ?? This is a tender published by the Queensland government. they are considering paying for research into Zero BAC for Motorcycle riders. If effective in reducing injuries, we could see it spread to vehicles. Bring it on !

I've had a gutful of some drivers. I see the cow driving this Car almost every day. I've seen police bikes ride bhind her, seen her indicate just once in about 60 lane changes, speed, tailgate and all while on the phone. And get away with it. I've had enough. But you can't just take my...

At the top of the rev range, just on gearchange I am hearing this noise. I have just put in a new tune, with a shift in change points and rev limiter. i thought at first that it might be touching the rev limiter, but I have become suspicious that what I am hearing is valve bounce... I...

Anyone done it ? Any tips pointer ideas etc ? Cheers

hi Everyone. Drivers side external door lever doesnt seem to want to work. Central locking and manual windows Have stripped the door trim off, looked at the mech, dropped out the door lock itself, and nothing appears broken. The vertical push bar that the door handle operates travels...

Ok its a reasonabley well looked after with a few mods. Insert key, turn to start position, engine does a half rotation then pauses for about 3 seconds then turns over. Only does it on odd occasions. Battery is about a year old, and starts normally about 2 in 3. No other glitches, faults...

Anyone know how I can improve the drivers seat in terms of Lateral support? I am happy enough to swap in a different front seat - if anyone knows a decent one that fits (later model maybe ?) Iva installed SS seats in my acclaim, and like the standard seats, the side bolsters fail rapidly...

Ok So I finally got my act together on Saturday and spent some time putting the CAI from Mace in. Dead easy installation, as usual I didn't read the instructions. If Greg had included an Allen key, the kit could have been straight from IKEA. Things I learned from the job - Install the...

Does anyone know where I can get a deal on a rebuilt ABS Diff with 3.73 gears ? I'm in Brisbane but I dont mind shipping it up from out of state and bolting it in myself. I don't really care whether it's and LSD or a one legger, as I don't do burnouts. By the way are LSD's a bolt up to a...

Hi Folkses. First a word of warning - do NOT build the same engine combo I have, unless you have also improved your suspension. This is a serious word of warning. Theres a combination of circumstances and action that would catch a novice by surprise and cause heartache if not grief. Read on...

But there is light at the end of the tunnel, with intriguing possibilities. Chrysler was forced into bankruptcy protection Thursday but President Barack Obama insisted the troubled automaker could emerge as a stronger company through a partnership with Fiat. The aim is for Chrysler to...

Hi Peoples. Some of you may have seen my other posts about a shake that comes in at about 120 KPH. It's not a real problem as I rarely get to that speed - but when I do it's on the 110 KPH freeway section that runs for about 60 km north of Brisbane. Anyhoo - I'm having the gearbox rebuilt...
