  1. Ahk, sweet as, kinda wondered about the use of two gigantor merc guards...
  2. Serious? Could be able to sort summat out.
  3. 5' monster tacho? 5k shift light too? I kid I kid Hows the rx going...?
  4. Nah boes. They still just sittin in shed. Anyone know of anyone that wants em?
  5. Oh boe.!11 Just got your pm. I can look at it. Oh snap, time for me to go out. Will be motorbiking tomorrow, text, can go look on way home or something.
  6. Cost about $25 to get a key or two cut to a lock. Worked sweet. Great value.
  7. They do? Whys that? Yeah link g3's are the man. Only gay thing - they only have 2 injector drives still.... so you have to run the injectors in pairs. Its prehistoric technolody these days and the computer would be competitive with the big guys if it had one. I think they do it just so people still opt for the Link Plus for the big jobs. I work at holden and theres just a general tendancey to hate vectras astras and pretty much any holden actually to be honest. But yeah they're probably all 'g' once out of the vectra poo's and has new engine management. I like the project anyway, choice little car. rofls.. you work at Holden and theres a general tendancy to hate all Holdens? Thats awesome, and completely understandable. I would never own a Holden or anything built by them to be honest I did alot of research on this engine before I opted for it. Granted its not as reliable as some japanese engines (for example) may be, but I don't think its too bad. Most of the problems seem to stem from the discusting factory engine management system, as you mentioned. This is still in the Vectra so I should be sweet Don't worry. Holden are slowly moving away from the euro stuff anyway. And the Austrailian stuff too. Korea is where its at boe..

  9. Here are a few more destruction pictures of the red one. "straightened" the front today. Which consisted of a wire rope, a power pole, and 4wd reverse burnouts. pictures etc... Remainders of numberplate. old fan chewn radiator.. Bumper did that.. Hae look! Still drives mostly straight. Kinda cool considering I'm pretty sure the front end moved about 100mm to the left.
  10. So I got another one.. Slightly newer... rusty, which sucks cause now that I've gotten it going. Its not too bad. Best eighties paint scheme ever also That rust goes all the way through. brakes overheated or some shit on the way home, rear drum locked up, mate just thought i was being a dick so kept towing, 'moked up down the road for 'bout 150metres. Runs now, seems to go well, will be good convoy adventure-mobile with the red and silver ones.
  11. That extreme current draw is a worry... Got any oil in it?
  12. So I uhh.. Drove it into a wall And am selling the Rx next week. roll on a DD and piling money into the ole beigy!
  13. I hear ya. Moneyless weekends miles from civilization ftl
  14. paintwork looked like this this morning really really rugged, matt as, colour would rub off on people and absorb dirt. $30 at supercheap auto and a few hours later. I was thinkin about pullin the front bumper at the same time, going bumperless. but the cunt who had it before me welded the bumper to the rusted subframe. so rugged....
  15. Looking awesome mate. Any more plans for it? looking pretty well completely nearly?
  16. Update. I just brought another one! http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a28/waimaks/Brat/Other%201st%20gen%20brumby/?action=view&current=P1030052.flv Discussion please
  17. Dude its looking really good these days, You're doing a pretty damn sweet job of it.
  18. meeean, wish I could have uber bodywork/any skills. Gonna be pimpin..
  19. Update for boost gauge and cleaned. That is all...
  20. so maybe like a widened set of those 6 stud 'modgies' you see on utes. I think you can get those 3 piece wheels in the weird 4 stud too, I'm not sure.
  21. Mmm yeah, The brakes aren't tooo bad at the moment, havn't ever had them get too hot or anything, vented discs on front, and solid on the back. Surprizingly tips you forward out of seat though. As for the swappability. I think theres definately something hard about swapping on the back, but I think the front might be possible apparantly.
  22. RS-RA or the rare RS-STi engine PLEASE don't! Clean and low FTW! So clean and low =... Small bonnet scoop, looww, tasteful wheels (omg tri-spokes!), What do you guys think about the standard RX bodykit? Good? Bad? + Removal of rust, and ugly 'omega turbo' stickers. What kinda colour scheme? already got the whole silver black and gold going on. Interior is gray, and pretty tidy, one tear in vinel on drivers seat..
  23. Here go some in fairly standard form, but top of the line trim, skirts and stuff...
