    Missing chrome trim on door belt

    I'm missing the chrome strip on my door belts. It's a berlina and I have every other door belt with the chrome trim but one is missing. Has anyone used the chrome strips you can buy on ebay to replace it?

    intercooler for l67

    I've seen on mace that you have to move the receiver drier to fit a front mount intercooler on a vs. I've seen a bloke in Sydney selling his a2a plate kit minus the front mount for $800

    intercooler for l67

    Do you know how long the w2a plate lasts? I've also seen a bloke on YouTube make a interchiller kit which uses your aircon lines to chill the water down.

    intercooler for l67

    I was wondering if it's worth getting a mace w2a or a yella terra stealth w2a intercooler. What's the benefits and disadvantages of each w2a intercooler kit.

    T5, no 5th or reverse

    I believe so, shifting through 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th are fine just getting into reverse and sometimes 5th is abit hard. Shifting into reverse is like Hitting a brick wall. But when you take the top plate and rear housing off you can shift into reverse and 5th just fine. I'm going to try just...

    T5, no 5th or reverse

    So I pulled my t5 gearbox apart a few months ago to replace a busted 4th gear. I ended up swapping parts together from a spare box I had. Put it back together and 1st-4th is fine, just shifting into 5th or reverse is just like hitting a brick wall. Pulled the top case and tailshaft housing off...

    Is it possible to Frankenstein a ford t5 to suit a holden t5

    Just wondering if you could possibly put a ford falcon t5 into a Holden. I know the bell housing, tailshaft and input shaft are different. But is it possible to use parts from my current t5 and use the falcons gears and sync syncros. Since it's the better T5 being the world class one. Or is...

    T5 yoke stuck in transmission

    Got it off. Took my mechanic 2 hours with his other mechanic prying it while the other one was pulling the tailshaft. The slip yoke was twisted and bent the worst they've seen.

    T5 yoke stuck in transmission

    Hey guys, turns out my front uni joint ended up snapping the cap bit and the rear seal is leaking. Went under the car to fix it, got the rear of the tail shaft unbolted, centre bearing unbolted and was about to remove the yoke on the gearbox side. Tried pulling and prying it out. Any ideas...

    Brought a l67 vs commodore with t5

    I'll check on the weekend. I know the manual and the less weight would make a difference but it's got more power than I fought it would have. Hopefully the new exhaust will make it go a tad better. Going to get a custom dual 2.5 exhaust, 2 high-flow cats and I'm going to use my old mufflers from...

    Some how i'm running an illegal mechanic

    Tempting but I live on a main road I don't want the dog to get hit by a car. As I said it's not the dog's fault it has a shite "owner". Poor thing cries most of the time especially when the neighbors home.

    Some how i'm running an illegal mechanic

    I'm going to report it, it's just going to cause more shite with the neighbor. I really hope the next tenants are actually "more annoying " to him. It would be great if a bunch of gronks move in or a couple with loud kids. It would show him.

    I don't think it's his dog to begin with. Old mate was living at the house for at least 3 or 4 months before the dog rocked up. Plus it was a few days after this forum was Posted. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what. All I know is last night was the best night sleep in a long time even...

    Some how i'm running an illegal mechanic

    I'm tempted to call the rspca but I bet he'll ring them about my dog or complain about something else. It's weird after the complaint about the mechanic thing that dog randomly appears. It looks like it's around 1 or nearly 2 years old by the way.

    I never thought it would be Idk, that's what the neighbor claims. If he does, most likely he won't then I've got a few things that will get him into trouble. 1. Threatened to bash me and my house mates ( real estate can back me up) 2. Animal neglect 3. Operating power equipment at 6am on a...

    The real estate agent told me that he's still on my side, but if the bloke next door complains again then he has to do something about it. Because it makes the agency look bad or something.

    Me and my house mate told the other neighbours and the people around the house. But the guy who complained wasn't home all week but Friday night. So we couldn't tell him. I think he wants me and my house mate evicted.

    Legality of Lowering Car (and Camber) on Red Ps in NSW?

    It depends on the cop, I've been pulled over before on my reds, lowered car and aftermarket exhaust. Only got harassed by one cop, not because of the ride height but the exhaust and I was "missing an intake pipe that funnels air from the guard to the airbox. Exhaust was legal, took it to the...

    rim suggestions?

    Bbs or hre rims are nice. Abit pricey but they look alright and most of them have a bit of a deep dish. If you want something cheaper try motorsports, they're easy to come by because most BMW's have them as stock or as a popular aftermarket rim. I've seen a guy sell a set of motorsports 245/r18...

    I drive an l67 vy , running 10 psi, high ratio rockers, dual exhaust and mace chip. I always use 98, sometimes I put a bit of octane booster occasionally. I tend to notice some different services stations have better fuel. Like ampol's 98 is better than 7/11 or metro. With Ampols 98 I get...
