Probably, no doubt it'll be worth something in a while. But I'll get bored of things before that point and want to step into something else for no real reason other than something different.

This is all based on the fact it'll actually sell, the market may not have many people looking for a gas guzzler big v8 sedan these days? not sure had like 20 favourite the ad I guess! No calls yet

In your pics do you have stock wheels or the concaves?

I think your only market is enthusiasts and people who can't afford the newest FPVs.

Black concaves on it yeh. Basically waiting for a P plater to get off Ps, take a loan out and get a fast car that's already mildly modded. Or an old guy that had a GS back in the day and wants a midlife crisis car, good thing is mine has all the FPV options all the others in vic have the 'pov pack spec'. 

i got invited but didnt go. If I had of known it was a Northside meet I wouldnt have even considered going.
Mighty Car Mods made a 9sec Barra car, wheres your 9sec pass Leigh? you got 2 more cylinders and bigger guards.
Or are you all about those 2 wheel cars now? gonna sell the ford and move to a smaller, lighter and less fuel efficient subaru?


I enjoyed that one. It didn't contain half the video as moog talking about balls.

But no real sleeper has a straight pipe on it.

That power curve though. The barra motors just make power so effortlessly, pitty they weigh as much and are as large as a house.
Pretty good episode wasn't it, as if they didn't do a barra like this earlier.. bit disappointed it was only one episode though [emoji20]
Shows what the barra is capable of once you blow more air into it, the internet comments exploded with discussion of the 2jz being a better/worst engine still. 
Lol barely been riding 2 wheels lately due to shitty weather, that's the only problem with bikes.. track day in the wet means you need wet set of tyres or risk snapping your shit up. 
Ford is for sale, one of those 'will sell for the right price but may be selling for 6 months' sales. Generally FPVs holding decent value these days though anyway. And yes, might buy a decade old, shitty engined Subaru, unless you have better ideas for around the 40-45k mark [emoji14].

And sound like ass. But as a 6cyl it can't be helped. I didn't enjoy how much they glazed over the details like any many and his dog can do it.... Gives idiots ideas. Solid rear axel and huge diff? Oh yeah just chuck it in

Are you trying to imply that changing from irs to a 4 link setup with a 9" diff isn't a quick, easy, and cheap modification you can do on your mum's driveway?

Bought parts off a guy who had an EA Falcon he bought for $700. He'd put a Chinese eBay turbo and manifold on it, no tune, just running low boost off the actuator as a burnout / pig with a welded diff. It actually went pretty well all things considered. I guess the logic is blown engine = buy another car and swap the bits over in a weekend.

At Barry's the other day and a customer had a VR Commodore he'd bought for $300 - saw the cash receipt for it. Thing was awesome for a runaround daily; so much car for the money. I mean, I remember when you used to get shitheap VK Commodores and Pintaras for $500 15 years ago, but they were proper pieces of shit. Could be 90s kid bias, but the 90s Commodores and Falcons were when Aussie cars started getting powerful 6 cylinder EFI engines, power steering / air con, ergonomic interiors with tons of space. My counterstrike knife skin is worth more...

That being said, we once paid $1500 for a V8 Soarer and that is a lot of car / paperweight for your money (perspective).

i'm more thinking doing some drags but if that not work out, yeah burnout pig.

they had barra motors for 79$ recently on ACM parts   too cheap not to

That's ridiculous, and that they even allude to some sort of warranty...

One of the more surprising sleepers I've come across was a POS EL Wagon on the way to work, with a ladder strapped to his roof racks. Fluttering away, it gave me a pretty good run.

Or in a little, 5L mustangs should drop into that range, currently available for low 50s

do like them, but going from a 5 star ancap safety rating to a 2 star, no thanks. also the same engine with no supercharger

$158 8.0 V12?

Nah inline 12 is where it's at.... i'm sure it cannot be hard to weld the output of one to the input of the other.....straight enough is good enough in these jobs.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
