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

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.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
