So that gearbox that took 4 months to source and a shitload of money got put in today.... AND IT IS F*CKING SEIZED.

Unlucky

$2500 from the US, plus shipment which would be ridiculous.

I talked to the guy that sent me this one though and he said it was tested before it was sent from Japan and ran fine. So no idea what's going on.

Just gonna have to pull the box out again and replace whatever is causing the problem. Might actually be the diff (yes they're in the gearbox on transverse engines)

Either way, labor costs will be insane. Thank goodness for credit cards.

Camaro ss faced ute spotted in melbourne. thoughts?

http://www.caradvice.com.au/92019/holden-commodore-ss-camaro-ute/

looks sweet. mind you I've got a soft spot for camaros having owned a gen 2. I'd probably get the frontend conversion kit if I ever bought a VE wagon (probably the only VE I'd buy).

also, nga's in oz have no probs grafting an S15 front onto a clapped out piece of shit S13 but think doing something similar on a bogan sled is wrong? you and your high horse can both fuck off.

You still need 'Spark' to get power... I assume the bigger / better the spark, more so, the car runs smoother, rather then more powerful.

no.

there's a limit to how much power your sparkplug can discharge, so no matter if you pump 11ty billion amps down it using your overpriced splitfires or just pump the necessary amount using brand new factory ones, the sparkplug is gonna spark the same. Once you have a spark, you have combustion, which generates your power. Up until then your car generates 0 power. In fact it just consumes it.

Put it this way, if a terrorist was to blow himself up and had 1kg of TNT strapped to him, and had the option of a $2 switch and a $200 switch, both of which work properly, which switch do you think will give you the bigger explosion?

Half the time people start sporting boners for splitfires and rave on about how much extra power they're getting, it's because they've just replaced their factory ones that are about 10-15 years old with brand new ones.

you can wire up a cheap MSD transformer setup for about $200 that will give you the same spark as any splitfires, any day. fact. not quite as simple as unplug and plug, but it's possible.

No, it's $117 and no demerits. Trust me, I got done twice.

I got 150 fine for that, and that was even when I had my re-test booked in f**king good for nothing police cant give you a break.

Reminds me when I got pulled over, around the corner from where a lady got killed at a servo. (Remember that guy that decided to light someone on fire)

The only reason people buy splitfires is because brand new factory coils cost a fortune. Don't think it has anything to do with power lol
