sif buy a jeep.... dont' you have youtube? those things'll kill ya :P

lol thought that was just new ones...

Jeeps are rated well for off road capability, interiors are a bit cheap like sitting in a plastic bucket

not too fussed about interior quality/luxuries

How reliable are older jeeps? Say early 90s

Obviously they're no toyota landcruisers but how do they compare? Also, old cherokees ever come in manual?

Xoxo <3

Which model specifically and for what use? A girl I knew, who practically stalled everytime she moved off the line (dat cringe when 300rpm launch), managed to get her daily driver Wrangler to 250,000km before it developed engine rattles.

???

Just laughing at the fact that they actually have to cut the bonnet, to make it function.

Or people just buy the bonnet bulge for looks.

ignore him... he's just that asian kid from "From Dusk Till Dawn" trying to get another 15 miutes

LOL! Fucking this guy.

well clearly you are going to have to cut the bonnet for a vent to work lol

Was more so pointing out the fact that the stock bonnet has to be modified to make it function...

Where as you buy a JDM car, like an EVO, there is already a functioning vent.

Or remake a whole entire bonnet, like the Nismo Z-Tune bonnet, for example.

What's the point in the bulge though?

The bulge goes back to the oldschool SS's where the engine didn't actually FIT in the engine bay

Edit: It's either purely for looks (Surely the OEM bonnet wouldn't overheat the engine, so it requires a vent for cooling) , or it is to accomodate a Walkie Top mount supercharger kit or some crap like that...

Edit 2:

WALKINSHAW PERFORMANCE POWER HOOD SCOOP SWB

The Performance "Power Hood" Scoop has been designed in the heritage of the original Walkinshaw Commodore from 1988. The Hood Scoop is the perfect sports accessory for the new VE range.Very aggressive appearance.

Looks like it is mainly visual only...

I don't mind the E2 Intake Scoop though...

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
