ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok.

see what i dont understand is why people like getting VL's and VN's and do them up with performance and looks, why waste money?

i mean there everywere now dayz, why not settle down with a nice looking car that will have more power or the same as the done up car stock and better looks like a sports import? and it wont cost them as much or cost them around the same price as blowing money on trying to tune on holden up?! =

sounds good, has anyone subscribed to the monthly thing?  

is it worth getting that then getting them single from newsagents every month?

were do they sell the dvds?!?! wouldnt mind getting my hands on one of those =D

Yeah I have just signed up 4 a subsciption with HPI

Was $50 for 6 issues - so save $4 + you get HPI No.9 on DVD

I thought I would grab it as this was the only HPI DVD i didn't have & I buy HPI every month without fail anyway..

..so by the sounds of it would definitely suit u too!!!

like ill admit some holdens are fast like statesman and SS arent to bad for a holden but even up against a TT import.... in a way its the same challenge but in other ways its like theres a hidden speed in the TT's. in issue 46 theres a NSX VS SUPRA competition and they were both stock cept they had like body kits and etc, but nothing was touched in the engine and the NSX got pretty blown. so maybe people like the big room of non sports cars thats why they tune them... i still think there dumb though =D

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
