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.

nah don't like golfs or your typical looking hatch

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.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
