LsBeema 466 Report post Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) A colour coded can came with the car so I am going to do a quick spray on the Lf guard R door and boot lid just for the re vin. The gears were abit stiff and saw that the slave had a wee bit too much off moisture around it. The list gets longer but things do get ticked off...

LsBeema 466 Report post Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) L72(6.0lt Ls2 variant) in the Ute sounds wild. Not deep enough as I'd prefer it...but close. Ideal exhaust note that suits the owner. A V8 awakening when fired up...gets abit quiter when the catts close up...then a roar when revd...and crackles on deceleration...freakin lovely!!!??? Got some mild headers. Performance cats and modified the stock V6 exhaust. ....the 36 will definitely roar more...and with 2 exhaust catback valves....Yea boi!!

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Shall be interesting to see how you get on compared to the project I'm doing. Always cool to see how others put things together. In hind sight I would have used an Commodore engine over the 1UZ 4.0 I put into my old E36 coupe, was too much effort for a arguably low power output. Edited November 16, 2018 by Michael.

If a vehicle comes with bump stops then it needs bump stops for the WOF. They can also fail you on brake rotors if they suspect they are undersized, it is then up to you to prove otherwise 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
