Too bad Mark.

A neighbor of mine in the UK used to have an old Cedric Wagon.

You know you will get a lot more backpackers in a wagon than a sedan

Get a Stagea.... Shame the Axis 350S cant be imported. I want one.

Are you still in Melbourne? Shout out if you want those headlight sockets or they will be thrown out.

Na mate dont need them anymore. All sorted.

But i do wanna say a massive thanks to scotty for helping me with the motor swap. It was a massive gamble and with all gambles therei the chance of failure and that whay happened. So the motorswap didnt happen and we kept the car NA.

Scotty worked wonders and the car is amazing, cleaned plenum and intake and heaps of other things.

Big thanks. Staying in room 35 was awesome.

It was also good meeting some of the VIC stag owners and their whips.

So there is not much i can do performance wise so im just going to enjoy it how it is now.

Now wearing a blue (BW5) aero front and soon some new wheels

Pics up soon!

A bit of a shame, but better this way than getting months down the track with no result & lots of money spent.

How is life with no skin on your hands?

We went through about 20 cans of degreaser/carb cleaner, as well as 4 odd litres of concentrated liquid degreaser. Damn those DD engines are dirty inside. Glad the det's don't have egr recirculation.

Hands were almost eaten away by the degreasers, just a normal day for me. lol.

So i have 2/3 aero on the car. Buying a sedan rear bumper with aero lip on in QX1 - winning!. Problem is it can only go by sea unless i wanna sell butt hole to DHL and let the rape me on price.

Rest will be painted to match along with the mirror bases painted in a glossy piano black finish to match the B-pillars and also the foglight blanks and bumper mesh in the same black.

After the Rays wheels i bought off same will be refurbed.

Thought about supercharging ur dd engine?

[Howaitonaito]

Didnt think you could supercharge the DDs. Scotty would know

[Howaitonaito]

Ok so the VQ25DET engine swap didn't go as planned. Partly because of my lack of research and comparing cars and their differences.

So attempt number two is in the early stages of thoughts/planning.

I'm keeping this close to my chest.

This will be a long painful road.

Spoke to an engineer today. He said it was good to go.

Engine swap is going ahead. Some people know what I'm doing but for others it's a wait.

[180fan]

vk56de, do it

[PN-Mad]

LS3 pls

[Brick]

Jet engine!! because batman

[Howaitonaito]

Once I have the donor car it's down hill from there which is pretty common. The conversion kit from the states includes custom sump, engine mounts, transmission mounts shifter plate and a single piece tailshaft.

If that's not a clue I don't know what is.

[PN-Mad]

Auto or manual?

And please go buy some decent brakes. Otherwise someone will be pulling you out of a tree.

[Howaitonaito]

Manual. I have to meet or go better than the brakes of that on the donor car and factory brembos will be enough

[PN-Mad]

Will require chev badge to be engineered as well.
