  1. You can hold the gas peddle flat on a BA/F and it won't start either..........Don't try that on the Honda .......... I 've never seen your posts so..........there's not a link to this topic on LS1 forums is there? :bsflag:
  2. vacuum leak,partially blocked injectors,bad fuel ete etc.? Take it back to the dealer Andrew.or drop in at work anytime and we can have a bit of a look if you want,and maybe see if it spits out any codes.......no charge :bsflag:

    great result Al.....yea Brucie knows his stuff.
  4. I still watch,but without becoming emotional about it.I guess I'll watch any form of motor racing if its available.I do agree with you though, in everthing else you've said.

    Some interesting stories there.Oujii boards are a scarey thing.Thought this might interest some of you. s2-6N6akjto

    I grew up on Eyre Peninsula far west SA.There were crop circles in the stubble there (Butler Tanks)in the late 1960's,long before it was fashionable to create hoax circles. Reflected city lights cuts down your view of the heavens at night.I had the pleasure of watching skylab come to earth in 1979.quite a show.and yes I've seen a ufo.

    Sounds like you are being bent over.An employer attaching unrelated conditions to payment of his debt seems wrong to me.....and yes seek legal advice.
  8. true.go back even further to the ZC-D with 351 clevo.King of the road back in the day.

    The guys in the metal/mechanical trades are on a lot less money than the figures quoted above,why I don't know.SA has a mostly heavy industry based economy.These are the sorts of people struggling to buy or qualify to buy a house.As it becomes more difficult for them,less of them will vote liberal.

    Um zapper.I just mean that the "Australian Dream" is getting too far out of reach for the rank and file.Not sure why but someones running the place?A typical Adelaide suburban house is around 300-4000000 dollars.At 10 percent deposit a young couple has to find 28000 dollars plus(minimum + 7000 dollars first home owners grant) to qualify for a home loan.Personally I've never had 28000 dollars cash (or in the bank)in my life- ever. I've suggested he buy a rural block in the Adelaide Hills(Strathalbyn,Echunga etc and sit on it for a while)Agreed action is required.Those who sit on their arse shall not be rewarded.You got to live close to your work though......... so a rural investment is a step in the right direction for the short term.

    Costello's the reason we've got GST.I'm paying GST on some government services.......why?and for that matter...............GST why?Moot point I spose coz Rudd won't have the guts or motivation to abolish it.A small business nightmare.If you've got a good job and a fair employer.......count your blessings.I'd sell my business tomorrow for a good paying job and a nice place to work.
  12. 1QWKF6 could help you out with a Pursuit Octane ute pic...close enough? http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.ph...age=3&pp=25 Australian Ford Forums - New Boss on the way
  13. Is this another ute?-or sedan?Voted Octane..sensational imho.a real musclecar colour.
  14. Disgrace............Really.The thing never had the 290 engine to knuckle up to the Caprice.Time was, when the Fairlane had a 351 just like a GT.Force 8......well I won't comment.Where was Ford's long wheel base Grange beater? Weak,sad and another lesson they didn't learn from history.Next logical step for me after a GT would have been a Ford "Grange" type Fairlane-but there isn't one.....................thank god for the Chrysler 300C SRT 8.

    My 20 year old son will never be able to buy his first house.......unless he gets some hefty family help.that's progress? NZ is out of ANZUS - good on them.........and why do Aussies fight everyone elses wars?To keep Veterans Affairs ticking over?George W is a patent idiot and he's not my mate.We paid our WW2 debt in Vietnam.Labour generally speaking,couldn't run a lemonade stand but I'll put up with them for 3 years if I have to; because I believe Costello is the greater of two evils. Time to go -John Howard
  16. Owned all three ie XR6T,XR8 and GT.BF GT now is stock with edit and k + n filter and edit.XR8(5 speed manual)...............disappointing with edit ,headers, exhaust ,filter 225 rwkw.GT would kill it.GT has 236 rwkw (6 speed auto)and still very tight at 6300 km.XR6T had 240 rwkw.GT has better top end than turbo.Turbo had better bottom end.Over the 1/4 about the same I'd suggest.(mid/high 13?)........ok ...I'm not a drag racer but a point to point driver. XR8..........not sure why they're available really....T yes, Phoon yes, GT yes. If you can't go the GT (maybe a 2nd hand GT/Pursuit? if you have to have a V8?) then go the T.
  17. The diff is at the wrong end of this torque/understeering bloated Camry used to be.200 kw into front wheel drive = why bother.Supercharged version will be even worse.Spend the money Toyota-put a hump in the floor and a diff in the back.
  18. Yep,going to dawn service first too but hope to see you on the cruise
  19. so far..... 1. BAturb 2. Shifty 3. MrX 4. boost-ute 5. davidald 6. tazz11 7. bluexr6turbo 8. rdomain 9. voy74656 any more South Aussies?...........come for a spin
  20. I'm doing my best.He's getting soft in his old age. ..........................He'll read this you know
  21. F 150 Lightning, F 150 Harley Davidson are two I'd like to see available thru Ford dealers in Oz.We got the Viper briefly.300 C SRT8 is available.

  23. edit first-then brake upgrade
