Nice work mate id like to see how well it performs! ive got a while yet till i have to decide so ill do some more research yeah cheers im stoked i would rather have had the motec but i already spent heaps on turbo i/c and wastegate and its not even hooked up !!!!! i got a holset h1c with h1e inducer on compressor 60mm i think i measured. got a 12cm2 turbine housing (approx. .77 ar ) standard manifold( moded for ext gate ) and 44mm gate. i cut intercoooler down from 300mm (h) to 200mm and with the 3" inlet outlets it fits snug an stealth behind bumper-and i taped and painted the bars black for more stealth. ground out battery tray and moved powersteer refill to beside radiator so the i/c pipe can go through guard. just need front mount plenum and throttle body and about 20k and it will be done hahaha !!!!!!!!!

Been thinking about upgrading my g4 plug in , dont want to but ill see what happens

got a few things sorted for vl after painting them and hubcaps some bog work new tail lights hubcaps but put back on ceptors didn't like the hubbies

Agree the hubbies do not suit the car,Sort of make it look like grand dads carwith them on.Go the cepts Cheers Marty

Has anybody used these Taiwanese reproduction bumper/bumper trim parts? What quality are they? What do they fit like? Is it worth the trouble? AHHHHHHHHHH Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have a reproduction bumper center from BE Group. Fits perfectly.

I had 1 on mine... I have since replaced it with genuine after it just simply cracked up & started to fall to pieces... It had been on there for 10yrs tho so not a bad run. I don't know if the after market ones are made from a better quality plastic these days or what? Even all the genuine ones I found were deformed & buckled in some way after 25yrs in the sun. Buma bout the wagon dude!! Did the ABS not work..? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hahaha if only she had ABS......I tell ya, all 4 wheels were locked and it still wasn't enough to stop the old girl.....Wilwoods should have been a factory option lol

I have Taiwanese headlights(with OE GM guts), indicators, taillights, and complete front bumper. No issues with any of them. Taillights I've had for about 6 or 7 years and the fit and finish of them is better than the originals. The headlights - the adjusting mechs are cr4p, but the rest of the bits are OK. All VL indicators seem to get cracks in, the repro ones are very good, and cheap. Front bumper is way better than OE GM - very good fit, and no prep needed to paint. I found it impossible to find a good centre section second hand. My upper bumper mouldings are genuine (lots of hunting at pick a part etc!), but I don't think they had repro ones when I bought mu bumper. I think you might be able to get them now though. However I did buy a Taiwanese nosecone and that was a piece of sh1t. Very poor fit with the original GM parts, and it honestly felt like it was made from old Coke cans. Ended up getting a good GM one from pick a part for about $20! Hope this helps!

the top strip that runs along the top of the bumper on mine is from BE carparts theres a little bit of work involved to get them to fit but nothing major

All my stuff was from BE too. Getting any of the mouldings to fit nicely takes a bit of work - mine have all been tweaked and cable tied to make them sit right!

Dan I have a upper bumper moulding for you(excellent condition)Genuine headlight glass if you require.Can confirm that the repo bumpers ARE better than genuine.Have a genuine indicator for you as well(Here some where)I think I may have the left hand side upper mould(not quite sure). Next question Your oppsie or someone else's?? Everyone OK Cheers Marty ps wife says AHHHHHH Bugger! pps I see the air hrns are still ok

Thanks guys....Cheers Marty, I'm thinking about just getting a whole new bumper and trims, but I'll see what happens yet... Long story short, 80kmh road (which I was doing) some knucklehead stopped in the middle of the road to turn into a driveway....just after a blind corner 3 cars in front of me managed to stop in time, but the old Wagon couldn't quite pull up As luck would have it, at the exact same spot on the left hand side of the road, a cop had pulled somebody else over and witnessed the whole thing, he determined it was a case of "bad luck" but said because I couldn't stop in time, that I'm at fault? Even though this idiot completely come to a stop in the middle of an 80kmh road life sucks arse sometimes........ On a good note though, Ive got a NOS Genuine Bonnet and Radiator Support Panel here which I will most likely need lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

So I have issues with my lsd diff so I am getting it reconditioned. What is involved when they recondition a diff? also I am going to need to replace hand break shoes and bearings, as you can see by the drivers side the seals have broke and leaked all over shoes Also want to replace yolks in drive shaft whats involved in this can I do myself Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Drive shaft most likely will need to be rebalanced,So get the pro's to do it for you.Same as the diffThey require quite a bit of set up,Bearing cones Check gears.etc for the recon,Hand brake shoes are a b%t%h to do and get right,But you will be able to do them. Cheers Marty

Im sending it to a guy whos does them for rare spares. $1500
