At this point in time and as we have made considerable changes ( Deleted the factory EMS) over the past six months, I cannot confirm if the factory speedo or tacho actually work. The factory dash will mostly be deleted in the near future to fit the IQ3. If it is still working, I will make a video and post it before I make the alterations.

Keep the updates coming man, love reading about it

Mace hire a tool as well. I heard @JETURBO loves a good valve spring swap. You're guaranteed that he won't fark it up too

^high beam and the horn if they sit there constantly. Fkn hate it especially when they do 20 under

What's with those bellends that sit in the right lane at the same speed as the car in the left lane? Why the fark can't people just overtake and drive normally. Bloody dickbrains

Thanks for putting the time into the write up that you have done here. I came across your build thread as I am researching fuel pump options or my FG. By chance it happens that we had an exchange relating to the idle issue in another thread. I have read your entire build thread now and have had similar issues with a Mal Wood option 5 twin plate install. It is not an issue with the quality of the kit, it has now been in my car with a Borg Warner EFR 9180 for a couple of years no issue. Lighter than stock as well. I am not overly hard on it though. My flywheel bolts loosened off within about 50km of driving the day I installed it, turns out I torqued to factory specifications which was a mistake. Same story as you, was able to redeem the crank mating face with minor filing to tidy up. This was a long time ago (say 5 years) but I think I ended up torquing to around 70-75ft/lb. I think you mentioned 85nm in your post earlier. When the replacement set of arp bolts arrived they came with a little piece of paper that had the recommended torque on it. The first set that came with the kit did not. Your story was identical right down to forgetting the sandwich plate, thinking it was a bleeding issue, heat issue of the clutch line running near the turbo dump.... Word of caution make sure you check with Mal Wood what torque he recommends before driving her again.

Have a laugh at this. http://used-cars-lookup.com/sale/holden-hq-monaro-2-door-coupe-rolling-shell-project-1-no-reserve-55027/au

I had a Bedford van for work . After a night out I would go park it on the building site, catch a few winks before having a coffee and a few drugs before starting work. That's freedom.

Yeah I know! And I didn't even get called champ or bud. A couple of quick questions guys. To get a front door off (which should be extra easy as the front guards are gone), I've obviously got to disconnect the door wiring. Is it just a matter of prying out the rubber boot near the hinges and there should be a wiring connector in there somewhere? Also if someone is looking for a full conversion, is it basically ECU, BEM, ignition barrel, drivers door lock and keys? Is that enough to prevent any recoding from a security perspective?
