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.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
