I Think the reference was to small car with a V8, not a small V8. 5000? etc

Now that's nice. A TT HFV6 in a great looking car that isn't tank sized. Where do I sign up :cheers:

Up until recently, I really disliked the local offerings. Pushrods and SOHC with no proper VVT were the best you could get. Pathetic for this day and age really. Now they actually make something worth buying. It looks like the Aussie car industry is finally getting its act together.

looks are deciving...

If they did produce it, i'm sure they would cut out all that fancy shmancy shite like tv screen. Either way, it's an interesting CONCEPT (which is what it is meant to be).

Like someone else said... The Monaro was never going to be produced... :rollseyes:

it'd be pretty quick but its not a torana, does anyone know what they do with the concept cars after the shows are over?

and PHAT32 i love the typhoon ass well but i just can't get over how stupid that name is. it would be debadged quicker than a gtr in bankstown if i got one

I prefer the old L34's.. SLR5000's... Gotta luv that hard edge raw V8 feel. :D

Still remember when my old man restored one when I was young..

Drove down the street with no doors/interior/seats & dash sitting in the back watching dad sit on his milk crate as he hooned around the block.

Went pretty damn hard for a mild 5ltr with a 500 holley sitting on top.

The idle was awesome.

Even had the old' gold hot wires if any 1 remembers them :)

Canary yellow with the black bonnet etc.. Was a damn nice car when he finished with it.

Then what did mum say "Its not an old mans car its a young mans car, Sell it!"

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
