Just FYI.... the first Texi in Sydney is June 12, and it's only $30 if it's your first time with us.

It's not *too* much of a shitful drive from here as Quakers Hill is just off the M7.

should be fine, how much power do you have?

Smoke-worthy power?

Im not sure, would be 140kw at the rears (ish) and about 390nM torque.

Enough for a 400m speed of 189km/h

Might bring a few sets of spares to see what gives good grip.

Hopefully I will have Pinky back on the road for the April local Motorkhana.. If all goes well, got my side indicators half installed, new mirrors on, will have my front indicators soon then get the front bar fitted and sprayed and all ready to go!

more details on the cressie kthx

Bought it as a finished project, built for daily duties and long cruises. Came with a trailer load of spares, literally.

When its washed up a bit I'll get some pics and maybe a mini-build/ fix it diary thread.

Currently waiting on the USA for cool-flex radiator hose couplers. (1.3/8" rubber joiners for the custom rad hoses)

So its not running.... missed very much too. The Holden Cruze/Ignis just doesnt do it for me :(

    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
