Oil every 1000k and filter every 3000k. Gets spendy when you're using it every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty keen on another fun car but priced out of VL's, VN SS' etc. Seen a few people in Aussie with turbo 3.8's, anyone done it? Just want a fun street car that I could do the odd skid in/take to the drags occasionally. Thinking 255's, LSD and a turbo (just want it to do hektik doses tbh). Sound plausible or nah? Also inb4 V6's are yuck. Buick turbocharged those engines in the 80s with good results. Or get a superchizzled one and swap whiny boi for spoolie boi. Look up what the yanks do with the buick V6. It's madness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Rubber grommets/bungs etc.. Wheres a good place to buy em? I visited the local rubber merchants (who I fucking despise intensely) this morning. Everything in their inventory is imperial. Less than zero use on my build. What's everyone's go to?

What size do you need?, I have some that fit about a 30mm hole plus I might still have some that fit about a 10mm hole, did have some big ones but not sure if I can find them, they are ex factory early Mazda ones.

Thanks OS! A box of grommets was just delivered. Not sure who you are? Not latex rubber/silicone for a change. (Which is the norm for mystery packages from OS users) 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
