By the looks of the boot it

Thu, 2007-10-18 08:05

By the looks of the boot it looks like it fits all my one piece rods and also my two piece rods. Its also smooth and pretty much it has a low fuel consumption, even though its a V6.

I was considering that later but I have'nt got it yet in about 1 weeks time I'll be picking it up. Is it expensive to convert it to gas?

Free

Thu, 2007-10-18 08:53

Here is a breakdown of the costs

Conversion            $3000
Flash Lube Injector $150

But here is the best part Government rebates YAY!!

Total Conversion Cost $3150
Less
State Gov Rebate        $1000
Fed Gov Rebate          $2000

Total cost                   $150

It takes about 2 weeks for the rebates to come though (fed rebate 1 week)

Well worth it.

Its Sambo Time !!

13.2 sec!

Thu, 2007-11-01 07:29

!Took the car to Quit Motorplex and clocked it on 13.2 sec over a quater mile. Reached 180km down the straight! So its pretty quick. Gets me around to spots nice and quick, thats only if I'm desperate to land a fish.

13.2 sec for a v6

Thu, 2007-11-01 07:56

13.2 sec for a v6 wagon....id like to see those papers mate :) If so its got quite a few mods. Not too long ago i ran a VS GTS 467hp superchaged sedan 6 speed manual. My best time......well it aint much better than that! 11.1 to be exact.

Thu, 2007-11-01 08:11

Yeah that's pretty impressive, must be well modded

My mate has a VZ SS v8 that is only capable of a 13.5. he would be spewing to get beat by a V6
Saying that another mate has a 07 STi and that thrashed him down the quarter, was very funny.

I still wanna clock it

Thu, 2007-11-01 08:36

I still wanna clock it though! It say's it goes to 260km on the speedo. My cousin clocked is Holden Maloo R8 2006 model on Barbegallo race track which he reached 280km down the straight! But now that Maloo has been impounded for another month for street drifting up in Gidgegannup (spelling).

Mate ill tell you something

Thu, 2007-11-01 10:01

Mate ill tell you something you might want to hear! A holden wagon at 260km/h (IF IT GETS THERE WHICH I DOUBT!) will be very hard to hang onto at that speed! If you try it you will not handle it........too much wind speed under the car will make it float like hell. Dont try it mate, it cant be done IMO and if you do try it good luck to be on this forum again! Not worth it mate, if they were desighned to do it, more people that race cars would own them! Sorry to get off the fishing subject adam but just thought this was important to say. Cheers Chris.

Gotcha man, I won't do it!

Thu, 2007-11-01 10:19

Gotcha man, I won't do it! But on the fishing notice went to South Beach on Marine Parade to have a look due to boredom and on the way to bodyboarding ummm I saw a man land few Mullet on small hooks with Bread as bait. Pretty good sizes too!
