good to see there is still a VQ keeping that garage from being totally gaids.

Quiet in here today. people must be doing family shit eh?

Yeah, Evan & I have been cruising on our bikes; but we had a storm & had to come home.

Now he's recovering the ammo after a Nerf war...

Hey guys, just wanted to get some feedback on something I came across yesterday.

Went to check out a S2 Stagea in a local wreckers, was quoted $1500 for manual conversion kit. Box, clutch, pedals & handbrake.

I think this is reasonable, but would appreciate any comments.

Cheers,

Ian

yeah if that is complete (ie including console etc) it is a reasonable price. Could probably be done cheaper if you want to stuff around collecting all the bits seperately, but that could take a while

Console was an auto hack job, might take it and see if I can make one out of fibre glass, better still fix the hack job one with fibre glass so I dont have to destroy my own.

Hopefully I'll have this early next week at the latest, then the fun begins

In the words of the late BIG KEV - "I'm excited"

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
