  8. Thanks for the pic. I figured its better than replacing a set of brakes lol I just dont like the idea of the clutch and gearbox taking any more load than it needs
  9. so i am looking at line loc kits... the only ones ive heard of are BnM ones but i dont know anyone whos running one Main reason for installing is Launch control / Burnouts without burning up the back brakes lol
  10. ill have to buy another one i wouldnt mind a 60 dollar laptop lol hopefully it works correctly because it works fine just cuts out after 10 seconds
  11. Hi i am sort of not getting anywhere with the standard 5.0 electronic dizzy that is in the 5.0 that is in my XB. ive had some problems with the MSD not 100% connecting to the laptop, and im sure its because the msd isnt getting the correct signal or something ((from the dizzy to the msd box)) (which is what ive narrowed it down to) the main problem is it cuts in and out when im trying to monitor it on the laptop (when the car is running ) which fucks me up because i need to know how many PSI the MAP is reading lol (and is half the reason i bought the box!) I want to get a Bosch electronic dizzy for the 302w and remove the vacuum advance.. so i can run it through the box for the timing, as they are cheap and reliable from what ive heard.. off the shelf parts ect. but i am not sure how to do this ? do i just unbolt the vac thing off of the side or ?

    astra power steering pumps fluid type

    I dunno how i missed this thread! thanks for the info im using dex3 .. as i diddnt want to fuck the steering box (because its harder and more annoying to replace ill switch over to the Penrite proper oil for the pump, although i have genuine holden oil here i got for 30$ for 1 litre from ebay (that price was delivered) that should be the same as the penrite?
  14. ok so i just used the serial port to usb cable i diddnt get a brownish serial-serial cable in the box? ill sus their website now to see if they sell it seperate

  20. Would this setup allow a bigger wider front wheel ? looks like it does
  21. How can you speculate without actually trying the coilovers though? I am not having a go , just curious because 99% sure im gonna end up buying the coilovers
  22. yeah ita on your list but 3/4 of it isnt haha what actually clould go wrong with the dizzy/how can i tell? i think its 10 btdc idle and 35 all in at 3500 but i could be wrong its been ages Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  23. I have a windsor in my XB .. and up until a while ago everything was fine with the cooling. I am not sure why but slowly the temp rises all the way up to about 95/100 (at that point i turn the car off) even when its a cold night and i am doing a steady 100kmph (which used to hold 80-85 even with no fans on) The only possibility's i can think of is A: somehow the thermostat isn't opening B: The new water pump isn't circulating properly. ---EDIT--- C: Maybe ignition timing or Gas Mixtures? car is running an Au rad / Fans and a thermo fan controller the thermostat is a cold one.. as the car is straight gas. Thermostat is i think an 75 degree? I just put a new water pump in it less that 1000ks ago I can set the fans to come on anywhere between 20 and 100 degrees
  24. i think it was orignally a SSS auto parts radiator i know it works because it was 100 degrees untill i got home and idled it for 5 mins and it went back down to 85, this was sunday , in geelong, so it was about 25 degrees outside
