Everyone creaming their pants on facebook over a VF HSV Ute for $90,000.
Even comes with an aftermarket super charger and 2 speed power glide. Great for towing a jet ski.
500kws and custom drive shaft... What is that, like 100kws more than factory?

I think the utes had 340kw only the GTS sedan had 430kw 

Still slower than a tuned GS, funny when the ford GT with '350kw' made more rwkw than the 430kw HSV haha

My mates got an aftermarket charged ve gts, think the kit was around the $20k mark.. Makes 390-395rwkw I think he said... Didn't sound too impressive given the ls3 in his car was advertised as 317kw, 320 in mine... But mine with exhaust tune and cai are making around 280rwkw.. That's a '375' kit... 100kw loss sounds pretty high to me but maybe I've been out of the game too long..

 

 

Friend bought a property almost a year ago. single not-very-significant-income. House came with tenants, decides to let them stay instead of move in (sick of living at home, but who says no to rent).
He knew the tenants were filthy, no screening process because existing tenants (how does that work?). Not surprisingly they pay rent late, lately not paying at all. Real Estate doesnt notice, so he emails the agent. Few weeks pass, agent says "sorry lol been on holiday, whoops, lets get this sorted". Goes to the Tenancy Tribunal people and sits there waiting in queue.
Then talks to me about plan to use equity to buy another place in the near future. Have fun with that. meanwhile, miserable at parents place because sibling had a baby in a trifecta relationship (VWL-worthy SJW story that one) and the bread-winner wasnt a biological parent so when shit went down the parents got kicked out. Funny, but not funny.


We're still waiting on that trifecta story Liam.

A while ago I was googling to find the biggest/best quality CRT commercially available. and its like this 30" or something 4:3 behemoth. tables needing extra support to hold it up etc since it weighed in at like 40+kgs

Obviously older people and collectors wanted them so they fetched about $600 but no one ever wanted to cough up for postage (why are PC nerds usually poor? lack of career drive from disinterest in work? poor social skills to leave good impressions? poor body odour?)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
