you reckon the BA was no good?

it was a good step forward for ford

new build, new engine from scratch, drive by wire, performance range

before the BA they were really lacking any decent performance models

280 tends to leave them crying in ur dust so....

maybe from stand still to ~70ks, but after that i doubt the SS would be crying...

That is at the flywheel.

i meant @flywheel

i want a hsv opinions?

dont gimme the its not jap shit, whats actually wrong with them

kgo.

*insert funky rage here*

HSV coupe/monaro. thank me in a few years when they're worth a pretty penny.

What's wrong with HSV? Nothing, if you like cheaply made family cars.

They're not a sports car and they never will be, despite what all the bogan racers say.

cheaply made yes, compared to an Audi. compared to a Nissan/Toyota? lol dont think so...

This.

Also getting an e46 m3 is kinda taking a backward step in that dept. I have easily seen off a couple of them.

Alex look into a GXP, full fat motor but a bit more subtle styling and cheaper

there's more to an ///M3 than just power/straight line speed

Alex, if you're going down that path, FG Typhoon, black on black

this.

I'm sorry did I logon to the wrong forum?

yes.

I know, thats why i qualified it with 'in that dept'. Don't doubt they are a decent car.

Also I've reduced a few SS bogans to tears in freeway-type situations. I think you're overestimating them.

lol i was wondering where mohsen was with his 2c on ford vs holden, then remembered that I banned him.

Thanks for that. No bs lebo stories

hmmm i might be. maybe those were the older 5.0/5.7 litre ones?

What'd he do this time?

Ask about 300ZX then achieving something... Then all I see from you is "Banned, kthxbi"

Thing is the weight of them increases with the newer models as well as the power. So the newer ones aren't heaps faster. Forget about the 5.0 though, even holden fanboys say they were rubbish.

My mate has a VE SSV ute and i honestly thought it was nothing special

Hahah

:laugh:

Haha!

ok i was overestimating. just looked up for specs, ls2 ss 0-100 5.5sec 1/4 ~14.0sec

I believe Nissan achieved a time like those, if not lower back in 1989...

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
