  1. Yup, The bushes will twist when you lower it if you tighten them when its in the air.
  2. Should be ok then. If its an auto your doing skids/giving it a hard time it wont last long. I killed 2 auto's. Go a manual or build a decent auto.
  3. One wheel skids will kill it quick. I smashed 3 corona diffs with a stock 3.8 and auto, They are slightly bigger than a ke70 diff.
  4. Fender mirrors, I'm pretty sure they are illegal because your bolting a metal/plastic bracket and a piece of glass in the crash impact zone and that will hurt pedestrians more than a flat bonnet/top of the 1/4 panel.
  5. Stealthy till he starts it up. I'm suspect of any clean looking VL these days. What happened to the Calais front end ?
  6. Mine didn't have a passengers mirror.
  7. What sort of consumption does your Ae71 get ?
  8. ^^Lol There is more but i can't find them, I think Jip has a few of the brown wagon. Stripped on the foot path much to the dismay of the local council.
  9. 8000 rpm from my old Seca and a lot of high speed runs. Mine would keep up with a AW11 MR2 but it was very rattly and smokey but meh i still kept up. Mine ran a 16.9 down the 1/4 mile, Full weight with subs n shit.
  10. Bump. These things make good tow cars and highway cruisers. I can get nearly 800km out of 60L on the highway and around 500km around town. You wont find a cleaner series 2 AU falcon for under $5500.
  11. What about CSX alloys ? I don't mind the hubcaps but it's like there is something missing.
  12. I have a few of those hubcaps. Are they originally from an MX36 ? Ive been using them as nut/bolt trays in the shed. Any leaks from the jack ?
  13. No engine, Organizing the box and conversion gear right now. Mine is going to be a slow build till i get signed off on my Apprenticeship.
  14. About $1070 to rebuild them, Linkages, soft mounts, fuel line fittings, Manifold, filters, fuel pump, pressure regulator, pressure gauge and a detailed tuning book. There is more but i can't remember the lot. Everything to get it ready to start and tune.
  15. Yeah and we have both have started with automatics.
  16. Don't have a car as of yet. Should be arriving on a truck soon though. I'll start a thread soon though.
  17. I found a really good dealer in Melbourne that sells Weber parts at a reasonable price. My cart is up to $760 so far. http://www.weberperformance.com.au/index.php How much did you pay for your 40's if you don't mind me asking ?
  18. Looks good mate. Do you still have the Cheviot turbo wheels ?
  19. Yeah, Awesome for burnouts and the drags, That's about it though. It will handle like shit and burnouts will kill a stock auto reasonably quick. The ke70 diff will shit itself pretty quick too.
  20. Any updates ?
  21. What porting was done to the head ?
  22. Extractors, 2 1/4 exhaust with one hot dog and one offset muffler. Nice note and not too loud. Didn't drone at all.
