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
tortron Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 They have been twin turboed in L200s to great success Quote
SOHC Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Where would I find some springs like this? They are not a matching pair Quote
Bling Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Chamberlains in CHCH can probably make them, worth a call anyway. 1 Quote

RUNAMUCK Posted July 31, 2021 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? Quote

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. Edit, I read you wanted bungs, also have grommet, they are about 20mm od Quote

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
