It does have a bonnet, now. Also has a boot!

Cheers,
joel

[TAQuickness]

Looks very nice Joel. Dig the valve covers. What's a boot?


KB - How often do you have to change that airfilter? I think a rear mount turbo is in my future.

[GMPX]

Dig the valve covers.

Me too.

So you guys are talkin' aussie now, bonnets, boots.......now to complete the transformation, go to properties (any program) select metric :D

Cheers,
Ross

Thanks.


Boot = trunk.
Who would have thought that reading Autosport would benefits in addition to racing news.

Ross,
All of my data is metric except MPH. I can't get used to KPH.

HA, that will be the day :muahaha:

I have to use this program (http://www.esbconsult.com/esbunitconv.zip) just to talk to my new found American friends :wave:

[Tordne]

...And for this actual thread...

This is what it looks like under my "bonnet".

nah. Just trying to keep it politically correct. You know, equal representation - at least that's what I think it's called :bs:

And since we are curious what's under the boot

I like this one ^^. It's a great pic. :mrgreen:
Mean hook!!

[Tordne]

Arh yes Dirk, I remember these pictures well :master:

So, did we decide that the wheels were off the ground?

[TAQuickness]

I like this one ^^. It's a great pic. :mrgreen:

i'm partial to that one too. even has a houston area code on it.... i think this means something.

how was the landing Dirk?

[GMPX]

nah. Just trying to keep it politically correct. You know, equal representation - at least that's what I think it's called :bs:


Years ago I had a 3rd Gen F-body so I am quite used to hoods and trunks and MPH.

[TAQuickness]

besides the 1's & 0's, whats under you bonnet Ross? Paul?

[kbracing96]

Looks very nice Joel. Dig the valve covers. What's a boot?


KB - How often do you have to change that airfilter? I think a rear mount turbo is in my future.
That's about as dirty as it gets in that pic. Its a K/N and I clean it about every 3 months or so, depending on how much I drive on gravel roads (there's lot of them here in BFE). They are hell on the filters whether conventional or under the truck. When I'm on city street all the time, it's just like any other filter cleaning.

I love it! 9 months and 15,000 miles and not one problem with the rear mount. :notacrook:

[GMPX]

besides the 1's & 0's, whats under you bonnet Ross? Paul?

We both have 5.7's, both have non std cams (mine, around 224, 112LSA, Paul is in the 230's, 110LSA from memory, both have modded heads, both running SD, I have two less gears than Paul, but mine shift themselves.
Other things mine has is an LS6 manifold, 80mm T/B, cold air intake and 3.73's, PLX-M300 and Flashscan permanently fitted, other than that it is pretty much stock.....even the spark plug leads are the original ones.
I would consider doing more to it, but it's done nearly 100,000KM (60,000 miles), 100,000 is my cut off point, time to go after that. Though I am not happy with the look of the new Holden's so maybe not.

Cheers,
Ross

[TAQuickness]

100k is the most opportune time to rip it out and start tweaking ;) On the very first post in this thread, you are looking at 53k miles of minimal love (i'm the second or third owner of the bird). It's also my understanding that all the good ls1 parts, save EFILive, is exponetially more expensive due to the rowing process across the pond.

You still eyeballing the 300's?

[Wasted Income]

This is what's under my bonnet...except mine's an '05, not an '06.

This is a classic!!!! :hihi:



Ross,
You really need a lumpier cam....224 is too smooth.

Cheers,
joel

[joecar]

100,000 miles (160,000 km) is a good excuse to rebuild, or install a crate LS7 (...should be available by then...).

:jump:

[GMPX]

You still eyeballing the 300's?

Yes, but I have two majour problems with it.
We can't get the 6.1L.
The price compared to what GM have with the LS2.

I only do about 400miles per month at most, so I really don't need to get rid of my existing car.

Cheers,
Ross

My engine has the dubious distinction (along with may other LS1's I believe) of getting rebuilt after a meltdown at about 8,000 km due to oil issues. I took it to the dealer two weeks before anything happened and said there was something wrong with the oil. They told me to come back at it's 10,000 service. It never made it to 10,000. :bawl::bawl::bawl:

The day that happened was the day I decided not to spend a whole lot of blood, sweat, tears or money on it.
Well, that was until a nice cam from Crow showed up. Its a sweet thing now :)

Oh yeah and I do even less miles than Ross, I've only managed 27,000 miles in over 5 years.

Paul

[TAQuickness]

so where are yall's pictures? (Paul & Ross)

Nothing to see except a stock engine bay under my hood :(

[TAQuickness]

What's this EFILive stuff you have under there?

[joecar]

Nothing to see except a stock engine bay under my hood :( "Sleeper" look is good, don't want to let on.... :hihi:

I saw under your hood in person in 2003 and it looks the same, and it still looks very clean;
either the air is very clean in NZ or you clean your engine often (which I don't think you get the time to do....);

the air in So.Cal is fairly dirty, full of dust (and other stuff), you can see a layer of it on the car one day after washing it....:bawl:

yeah, I like the EFILive sticker....:rockon:

[Tordne]

Paul's car doesn't move often enough to get dirty... He is kept down in the dungeon coding away on the next big thing for EFILive :muahaha:
And we all appreciate it! :cheers:

[Delco]

Here is a pic of under my hood , its all about to change though as I see a 3.3l whipple on the horizon and a twin turbo kit mmmnn , which car to put each on :banana:

Delco,

Do you care to explain your second photo (with the cop right on your bum while you're peeling tyres), did you get away with doing that...?

gotta have a smoke screen before you make your magical escape!

In a few years I may look into the RD of shoehorning a whiple under the cowl of the Fbod....

Hey, where can we get one of those neat EFI Live Flashscan stickers??

[Blacky]

Hey, where can we get one of those neat EFI Live Flashscan stickers??

FlashScan product boxes are just starting to ship with them, so if you ever purchase a FlashScan V2 upgrade they will be in the box. There is one silver heat/oil resistent sticker for engine bays and one clear sticker for glass. And an EFILive pen.

It is a real pic staged for a magazine article , I used to do all the tuning on the police drag team and they were most helpful , the pic was taken in front of my old workshop.

Twin turbo's are a custom job which at this stage are going onto my Project Monaro (http://chipmaster.com.au/Project%20Monaro8.htm)the street car and the big whipple is going onto the new drag project

I'm dying to get the scoop on V2. Any new info and how much to upgrade and an approximate date yet? Please, please PM if your not wanting to make a public announcement. I'm really wanting to get those stickers!!!:banana: Thanks, Kyle

Yeah... I want to upgrade to V2 so I can have those stickers...
each one must be worth at least 10 HP at the flywheel, and they're collectable and desirable...
(...Ebay, start bid $346...)
