Nominal 48,614 Report post Posted March 16, 2017 Good work getting it certed before BH. It must be the busiest time of the year for LVVTA I reckon. According to the entry guff, the popo are going to be hard on illegal cars again, so watch out if you can adjust the height while driving. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seedy Al 18,025 Report post Posted July 16, 2017 I actually fucking love this car. Goooood shit. Starting to accept wires on certain cars. This one fits the bill. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f100_dreamin 855 Report post Posted July 16, 2017 Cheers @Seedy Al (to be fair if it wasn't for you checking it out for me I probably wouldn't have bought it) I absolutely love walking into the garage and seeing this thing, the wires really do set it off in person too! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piazzanoob 1,825 Report post Posted July 17, 2017 If going v8 in this thing my idea would be to LS conversion it can get the kits from the U.S. plus turn key driver fuel efficient low maintenance And more power. Also don't you work with Tom at holden? so could end up with a good deal on a motor too 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f100_dreamin 855 Report post Posted July 17, 2017 Neither Tom or myself work at Holden anymore. But if we go V8 then yeah it will be an LS as I would like to loose a bit of weight over the front axle to help the airbags as they can struggle if the air tank isn't over 3/4 full. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so how far is Chassis off ground at max slam? @lowlife this thing eats bump stop, am on the third set already, with new bump stops the chassis sits about 20mm off the ground, when they fuck out it lays the front of the chassis on the ground On 30/05/2018 at 18:36, Dirty_Safari said: Cool thread, sweet car man.

Like the little rear duckbill spoiler thing, saw a pillar less 4 door impala a while back and the pillar less doesn’t have it, so it’s like a bonus point for going post sedan haha 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimjon 4,522 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Yip, love the 4 doors too. I think it's because a couple mates had them 20 odd years ago and we'd road trip everywhere in them. Even back then they were flash cars...spent every cent they had making them look cool. Immaculate panel and paint, 350 motors...high 13sec quater mile times. Think that's why I ended up with the 4 door too. There were cheaper 2 doors around...but I just had to get 4 door as i find the shape more appealing. Plus "4 doors, more whores" as they say:) Question: the hoist...what thickness concrete. Any issues with that expansion cut next to the post? It's seriously my next thing I want.

f100_dreamin 855 Report post Posted October 28, 2018 The concrete was right on the 120mm thickness which is the minimum for the hoist, yeah the expansion cuts dictated that the hoist is slightly offset to the garage door as the posts had to be 100mm from them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure that my floor is only 100mm with steel reinforced concrete. Think I'm fucked here...might have to cut out a section and reinstate it, but thicker.

At least then you can literally put it anywhere you want in your shed. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
