Lol..dont think your flame suit can protect you from shotgun pellets!

They changed touring cars from turbos to v8s so the v8s can start having a chance at winning!:P

Makes me wonder though if a NSX-R can beat those v8 touring cars..

I owned a V8 Commodore.

Cost me close to 5k in repair bills within 9months of owning it.

First.. Subframe cracked where the diff mounts up (IRS)

Second.. Gearbox bearings died

Third.. LSD Diff openwheeling and grinding really bad.

So my nice 'solid' lol commodore was not so solid after all, for a daily cruiser yes maybe, if I could put up with the rattles. But as a car that will handle a bit of a hammering, no. >_<

I freaked the first time I jacked the commodore up, opened the drivers door to grab the phone went to close the door and noticed my nice 'solid' commodore's door wouldn't close as the whole body twists when the car is jacked up. It was literally a good 5cm's out. :S

Talk about a solid chassis. No wonder those things split in 2 in high speed accident. :P

I've owned one so I can pay out on them. :)

Touring cars where changed for all the Ford and Holden fans to have a sport where drinking and lack of intelligence is encouraged over a very long day, which BTW finished quicker when the skylines where racing :laugh: .

If Holden and Ford aren't so scared why did they knock back Toyota from entering the V8 supercars?

Because they know even a fridge on wheels will kick their ARSSSSSS!

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
