Been running some IPF HID's for a while and they are fantastic - start up a little blue and then warm up to a really white light after 30 seconds or so. These are the IPF built HID's so i dont have any details on the parts used. If you do convert some spotties make sure you dont go too high in colou...

just spotted VL400 and the gemini and the usual crew down the pines as i was passing through on the way home dave Ahh that was you, was just about to say spotted a lifted outback on sunday, was lookin good. We had a blast out there, the gemini certainly made a few ppl stop and look! Broke an axle l...

Its main use is for transient fuel and spark stuff really, like on throttle tip-in or acceleration. Its also used for telling the ECU when to go into idle mode.

Di Lena Metal Supplies, near WA Suspensions on Howe Street

Yet another example of how easy it is in reality to pass modified cars over WA pits. All depends on who you get on the day, did a V6 conversion to an early commodore and they required a FULL engineering report on the whole car before even looking at it, brakes, chassis, diff, suspension etc etc All...

With back to back dyno testing we did a few years back, it showed a repeatable 5hp loss at the wheels on a standard VS V6 commodore fitted with two hiclones. Had complete intake pipe swap as they are a ***** to remove once jammed in the pipe, also meant less than 5mins between runs and always had 5h...

A friend recently sold his liberty wagon with 800,000kms, it was converted to legacy GT running gear at about 400,000kms using a front cut with 50k on it. Never missed a beat and was well used, was a support vehicle for desert racing and river racing so hit the dirt heaps and always had a big enclos...

The Paj rollover looks pretty nasty! Here is some more info on it, everyone was ok...

Might be good to go down just to spectate....see what all the psycho's have been building over the winter =) haha, yeah the little red gemini that a few people on here have seen in the pines is one of those. Sounds like an EFI V8 now :) Just need to finish replacing the diff, broke it after 10 mins...

$190 for VLT pump from repco, bought one a few days ago for the gemini. Dunno if they can be had cheaper or not as we needed one urgently so just bought it.

Got some springs made up for the gemini the other week, sat a bit low with a V8 in it Malaga Springs organised them to be made by a local spring manufacturer, $220 for the pair which i thought wasnt too bad.

I did actually ask the guy i bought the car off how he discovered this, assured me it was by removing it - still, i checked the roof out!

Works exactly as gremlins said. If it dont, try pulling it out and re-soldering the joints on the PCB. They get heaps of dry joints particularly around the big resistor. Mine only worked upside down when i bought my L.

Can get it in perth at the british lolly shop at hillarys marina, but dont think its big red brand. Agree with matatak though - was um...different!

Bosch lists only one replacement pump for heaps of commodores including turbo and atmo VLs, dont get stung paying turbo prices for the same pump.

They are good for more HP than you think, have one running a 350hp motor with no pressure probs. Good value pump but they are noisy.

Knock sensors use a band pass filter to tune to the knock frequency. The frequency is mostly dependant on bore size so its hard to just use parts from another engine. Still works but the sensitivity is reduced. The V6 commodore uses a knock sensor but the V8 does not (only HSV). There is a piezo sen...

Only way is to put 1 metre scrap under the car and attach it somewhere at the front where its easy access if you're bogged. That is what I know that big 4WDs who dont have an winch do that, i've seen a couple do that but rarely. my 2c worth. Cheers AP May just end up doing that if it looks like it ...

thanks for that, i had thought about the crossmember and may use that if i really need it - problem is its normally the part thats buried! And after having a look over the weekend at how to brace and mount a tow hook, really dont see that i can gain much strength without really going to a lot of tro...

Well the rear is ok as i have a tow bar and use it fairly regularly to tow other vehicles out or be towed backwards but the front is a different story. I have a strap that goes between the two tie down points on the front and can then have a snatch strap connected to it. The problem is i dont trust ...
