This needs one of these......

or 2 1up front and 1 in the rear haha

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/122001952475

If going v8 can't really go past an ls for the bang for buck...

Brand new crate LSA engines are damn cheap too.... although 430kws in a datto 1200/1600 may be friggan crazy.

Can't say thats how i professionally do it.

But guess things are different over there lol.

I much prefer to remove and use a lathe. Its more accurate and safe.

Or this is similar to what you found. Just in a box etc

Ps. Ive been a tad slack since i did it but ive been wanting to fit a sub gains control knob so i can have easier volume control etc.

Atm i just have a switch hidden that turns the amp and reciever on/off.

The reciever runs on 5vdc so i just moded a phone charger plug to power the reciever.

Is it so that you can see a radio in he car?

Ive got a small bluetooth music reciever hidden under my parcel shelf.

Then rca leads to a small 4ch amplifier. (4 × 50wrms)

Then my speakers are stealth install.

So I just bluetooth strean the music from my phone to the reciever and use the phone as the radio face etc.

The 4wd (terri) models chew that much??

I get that around town. With lots of stop starts and short trips....(Rwd)

If your cars been mutilated in a way that can't be restored to original easily and half the original parts are missing then its probably not that important.

Do you have the original gearbox and diff? Usually a serial number or theyre date coded etc.

If not then having the original engine isnt going to help you much, unless the car is a super rare collectible model that EVERYONE wants.

Final thing is.

It probably wont be much use to you if you're intending to never sell the car either.

Yep the miami is a fun unit to drive.

Just don't think about the amount of fuel it uses when doing so.

Its a very "kiss you license goodbye" type of engine/car lol

Theres alot of things avail now to modernize an older car.

Central locking is pretty easy as are elec windows.

Power steer and even air cond is avail.

With technology now sound deadening is alot better and easier to use.

As for wind noise a good set of rubbers may help.

You can even do stealth media installs on older cars. So you can have an ild looking car that actually drives and feels more like a modern car fairly easily these days.

And if done right isn't that expensive.

Yeah put another club reg car on full comp other year and cost $98 for a year.

Gotta love that

Mate was just telling me about a shed that his cousin made up out of a shipping container. He mounted benches and cabnets to the walls etc and made everything able to be "locked" up safely for moving.

He did this because he was a renter and moved alot. So never had to worry about packing and unpacking his workshop.

Seen ppl use 2 shipping containers and have a gap between which they span with an awning car sits under the awning and containers become your garage/workshop/mancave.

Vf ssv sportwagon is a bit pricier than a ba/bf goon or vt/vx lol.

If thats the case bugger the ssv.

Go the R8 clubsport tourer with the LSA instead. Lol

Ahh that sux.

Yeah ive got all my cars and house with them.

The more ya have the cheaper it gets.

Take it you guys don't get Shannons insurance over there?

Just thought id say if ya after a (wa)goon a territory (if ya get them there?) Is another option.

i went that way due to bad knees/back and found it easier to get in/out of due to it being a bit higher (sedans and goons are to low so have to sit/step UP to get out)

They're also not as high as a 4wd which can be too high at times. I know my patrol can be a c@nt to get in n out when i have a bad day with me knees etc.

Terri is kinda just right height for a daily when ya knees etc are f#cked lol.

Remove the wood from the mdf as careful as possible then light sand where it was glued and flip the wood and glue to a new piece of mdf.

(Opposite to original glued side)

Will give you a mirror image of what you got now.

Messy- yes

Time consuming -yes.

But may save ya buying more wood panels

Kinda why im avoiding the ignition side and leaving that to my current ignition system.

Hence why i asked for a fuel only ecu idea.

Cheers.

What model megasquirt? Or (Link?) Etc.

What would be the model/name of the computer to look for?

Im pretty much set on 3× throttle bodies (eg 3× 50mm) etc

I have seen Sonic injection are making a new su style throttlebody etc so even 4 of them perhaps.

But its the "Actual Computer" Im stuck on.

Unsure what to get.

Brocky ran triple 58mm webers in '72. And had 1 throat blocked off on each carb.

It drank more fuel but it did work on the engine power wise.

The 2nd car ran triple 2" SU's. Non rab the factory carbies.

the cd 175s are only 44.45mm so alot smaller carby.

ive just reached the limitations (like many others) of them.

I had 2"su carbs to go on it but a dodgy shop was meant to rebush the throttle thafts on them only to take their merry time doing so and finaly one night they shut shop and disappeared for good. Along with my carbs.

So ive just stuck with the cd's since.

Now im finally going to give the upgrade it needs, as its way undercarbed. And ive reached the limitations of the 175's

Yeah that price is pretty ordinary.

Can get it alot cheaper.

Seen it with a ford windsor v8 manifold and 8 itb's for not much more.

Found these online.

Anyone used one?

http://www.fuelairspark.com/fas/ez-efi-2-0r-self-tuning-engine-control-system-multi-port-retro-fit-typehtml/

Ok cheers.

Any particular model?

Very cool.

But im not sure about screwimg around to much with the cd's. As they're genuine XU-1 carbs.

As for stealth unfortunately a set of triples on a red 6 isn't considered stealth in most cases lol.

But as for sneaky yeah its pretty cool having an injector hidden inside.

Ive been looking at a 3- 50mm throttle bodies. So that side of things is pretty easy. I have several options i can use.

Its the actual efi computer im stuck on.

Are any aftermarket ecu's self learning/adjusting?

As in get a baseline tune and drive the car and it adjusts on the go itself.

I think the holley and msd setups are like that. But unsure if you have to use the 4brl throttle body for it to work??
