is anyone else getting a tad over seeing commos on the road with chevy rear/front badges?

fark theres more holdens with chevy badges here than there are actual chevys in america!!

are they factory optioned or something?

i know its coz of the v8 engines in holdens but theyre GM engines, theyre not built by chevrolet they just happen to be used in them aswell :D

arent the americans meant to be the "less educated" ones? i bet if you went over there you wouldnt see a single corvette with holden badges on...

ive decided to get a 2jz transplant and stick toyota badges on my car. screw this shit :D

/end rant

I was over it 20+ yrs ago, when every 1 tonner had one, a mate back then even had one on his HQ sedan...

Admittedly it had a 327 in it but still I hated it like I would a ginger headed step son.

Wtf is with commondorks with Pontiac bonnets and Chev badges though?

Some sort of identity crisis.. They're all ugly, that's all that matters.

Lexus Soarer ... Toyota Soarer ? any different ?

i've seen Toyota Soarer..... then a few months later same car has Lexus tags on them

I see a lot of that too but to the Toyotas boys credit, other than the badges they are actually the same car most of the time

oh god ive seen this soooooo much lately - was speaking with some mates about it and they all were sick of seeing every 2nd commo with a chev badge - put a f**king vauxhall badge on it you sheep!

ive seen one with a Lexus badge on the back and a Toyota badge on the front.

I purchased my Calais with the chevy badges already on it. Can't say it would be something I would have done myself but the Idiot had removed all the Calais badges which I put back on. I've removed the chevy badge from the bonnet and left the boot garnish & wheel centres as chevy. CBF changing them.

i dont see what all the fuss is about.. i mean is the world really coming to an end if people put a better looking badge on thier car?? (which kinda makes sense for the LS1s ect.)

i see nothing wrong with having a bow tie at the front or back of an SS, clubbie or the like so rimon find something else to b!tch about mate... lol

p.s. i havnt done it

It's a bit Michael Jackson when you think about it, no matter what he does he'll never be what he obviously wants to be.

Mmmm chevy badged comms will now be know as thriller edition comms.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
