Put down the keyboard, warrior.

VVTi 1UZ has 224kw standard
Your average LS1 has 225kw standard
I'd hardly call that "far more powerful," would you?

Edit: And even if they were "far more powerful" as you seem to think, that doesn't change the fact that they leak like a screen door on a submarine.

Love the interior bud!! Question - where did you get your Pepperpots polished and painted? Still got the contact?

Cheers mate

i got them done by a guy in Coburg Victoria only cost 220 i think but that was 3 years ago
ill see if i can dig his number up for ya

$220 is a bargain, did that include paint?
Last wheels I got polished was about 20 years ago and that was $40 per wheel, lol

Yeah I'm getting my 18s repaired by him and also my siggy Turbo rims

Listen here, ive seen a vvti 1uz on the dyno in stock form, they are 160-170 rwkw

Ls1's are 200+ rwkw stock.

I stand corrected.
Doesn't change the fact that the LS1 is a leaky, lazy pushrod boat anchor that uses WAY too much fuel and chews oil like the clapped-out old 202 in my VC. And on those points alone I'll never, ever own one.
Anyway. Enough spamming of Luke's thread, I wanna see some progress on this beast

Here is an idea fellas stop posting petty bickering in a mods thread you should know better i know im not here very much but come on guys

Update

have not had time for TUFSIG over the last couple of months but things are still going well, the car is running but not quite driveable well not safely, the standard diff is starting to let go

good to hear shes running again, im sure you'll sort something out, what diff you thinking?

got some prices for a commdore diff to be fitted for a good price with the gears i want, no need for a 9inch

Still got my old red GH? Crushed yet?

Hi People

Havent touched TUFSIG in a bit but i did get my new springs for my other GSR and put them in today

Sits really nice also put in all new shocks as well

Yeah mate i stripped that and sent it to the crushers months ago

nice gsr mate what springs and shocks did u use ?

On this one i used King Springs with Pedders shocks and on TUFSIG i have pedders springs with same shocks, King springs are much better then the pedders ones

TUFSIG is back int he garage as ive had some more time to work on it
Its been a long time coming but im fed up of it being under a cover and paying rego to not drive it.
More updates coming soon

A new pic of the other rides



Also have polished peppers on this one now

Soon

This is looking good

What's left to do on it now?

Dave...

Wire up some stuff inside and put the starter motor on then bolt up pipes and cooler so not much really

Yeah the polished peppers have set it off

Getting it all together - some of the bits on atm have not been painted like radiator and shield mounting brackets but will do them soon also POD is temp because its ugly as

Looking great Luke, i was half expecting this to come up forsale after you brought the 3000 ;)


Box that front corner in mate, it will make it much neater and hide that pod filter.
I dont know if the cops are as hard on pod filters down there as they are here.
But we cant get away with them if pulled over

Yeah that pod is getting a box for sure, and even though I have the 3000gt I still need to keep this project going, going to be worth it in the end

Start motor is now on same with alternator so now just getting the pipes lined up and then PWR cooler

PWR to the rescue






Not long now pick up the last of the hoses on Friday then go time

Cooler brackets completed and mocked up im happy with it so going to take it apart and paint the brackets and then put it all together again

rad looking cooler, engine bay is looking tidy as
