Have you got something else in mind or just moving on..? If it's personal thats cool.

GTS454

something like what you have.... we need to chat methinks young Jordan.

-Jordan-

Awesome! I'd like to know more people with one, most the guys I talk to currently seem to think I'm just a kid talking out of my ass and just walk away.

I'm guesing you've got one in mind considering the HQ went up for sale so quickly? (unless its been a long time coming..?)

Must be pretty hard to part ways still.

GTS454

mate it is aweful... I looked at it tonight and thought to myself, what am I doing? but it will be better in the long run I think.

wbtonner

You must post link to Ebay page. I believe my father will be interested in this.

-Jordan-

No way to justify having both?

Are you looking at a Gen 1 or 2? Complete or building it up?

HSV

Damn Ash

Cam be good to meet you as well, handy knowing someone in the local area.

With any luck the Monaro will be home next week, I've found a guy who funnily enough specializes in lowered/sports vehicles whos willing to do it cheap(er).

I'll throw a couple of pics of the shed up when I sort out the net at my place, was put on yesterday and the router shat itself last night........

-Jordan-

Any further progress on the decision? I've been keeping my eye on ebay to see if it popped up. :noes:

GTS454

have booked a spot at powerplay this Saturday coming (8th Jan)

will also (if weather permits) give it a run at T&T if it isn't broken by 4pm!!

may have a for sale sign on it at willowbank, and if it runs a good time I can put that in the ad. Very much in 2 minds about it and the missus is coming good, so I dunno yet.

GTS454

here you go:

wbtonner

Trying to talk my dad into this. Sad thing is he wants to buy a VX SS :headwall: :wtc:
Is a 10 second street car though, but still

GTS454

yer, mine isn't a 10 second car, but a 100 shot would see to that

bit crapping myself now... car has 5 bids already and is up to 10 grand!! with 10 days to go

-Jordan-

So... I'm going to need info on this new one now.

Trying to convince my old man to get it, haha, will let you know how I go!

wbtonner

Drove the ute:) to work the past 2 days
Fucking loved coming home this arvy in the rain, haha
And decided enough is enough for driving a quiet car (well its not quiet but not THAT loud) so I got home this arvy and booked it in for new exhaust tomorrow, dads taing it in for me.
Can't bloody wait for tomorrow afternoon to finally hear her
Thank you storms for getting me the overtime and rain money to let me buy my exhaust.


Just excited because its basically the first thing i've done to it since I started my apprenticeship and moneys been tight this year.

magna_TE

Finally got the datto going.
Everything is running good, except i kinda pulled the choke cable to far and now i cant get it back out of the plastic haha
also there is an exhaust leak, but im getting it all done anyways so didnt bother me to much, should be regoed next pay day

wbtonner

New exhaust = perfect. Well for a stock six it is IMO.
Gained maybe 15-20 hp with it. Flows so much better and sounds sooo much clearer/ cleaner.
Just needs a tune now.

OIM.666

Get my convo pros Thursday

nightcrawler

What you end up getting 2 an a quarter or 2 an a half Bro ?
Thinking of selling my Tonner and putting the ute back on the road , only problem is every time i drive the 1 Ton i just have to much fun , damn you 308 5 speed .

HSV

5 days to go and sitting at a decent price, nice mate



Now that I'm back from holidays etc and the house is finalised, I will be getting back stuck into the Monaro, first thing on the cards is to sell the T350 and Draglites and get a set of Convo Pro's and T400.

-Jordan-

How's the BB conversion going? Interested to see how it turns out.

HSV

It's all there and built, however took a sideline whilst we purchased the new house. Now that everythings back to normal, I'll get stuck back into it.

GTS454

Ben, would you be keen to swap your rears for 10's? and then I know a guy that will probs buy them!!

I need 8's for the coupe and this dude has a tonner, let me know, maybe message me on fb or av8. trying to get off this site.

i only got a hk

in news that will warm the cockles of your hearts i am currently bidding on and winning a 307 chev thats been bored to 327 cpapacity apparently.. 3hrs to go heres hoping i dont get sniped

wbtonner

Like your style
Will be your smartest decision yet.
Hone, new rings and bearing through out, mild cam and deck the heads. Should keep you happy for a while with the extra power.

nightcrawler

327 on EBAY you say ?

wbtonner

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/307-sbc-suit-rebuil...3DLVI%26ps%3D54

i only got a hk

yeh thats the one, very happy, hopefully going to get it within the next few days

even if i dont build it up straight away probably wont lose any money on it if i decide to resell

also now looking for suitable carb & manifold will pay in beer or real money or hugs and (maybe) kisses

racerphill

Well done mate, that'll go real well in your MX5!!

nah, seriously, good to see that you (hopefully) will be sticking with the HK and giving her a new lease on life.

GTS454

nice... good luck finding a sump that is affordable though. those things are outta control!

a nice edelbrock manifold and 650-750 carb will have you singing.

i only got a hk

looks to me in the photos on the ad that the sump is still attached.... i'm more concerned about the cost of an intake manifold and carby

GTS454

lol... you aren't going to go far then... sell it all and buy the mx5.

get you out of a classic that you are clearly going to wreck.

that is an HQ-HZ sump, like I said, you will pay well over $500 for a HK-G sump if you can find one and maybe even get a pickup for that price too... worried about a manifold and carb? buy straight from the US atm. also see if you can get a box from there too... summitt are selling a TCI built T350 for around a grand that will handle that thing.
