13-02-16, 09:23 GMT+10#104 For brake lines, ring Race Brakes Sydney. Used to be a forum sponsor, I've bought a few sets from him. They were ADR approved Goodridge lines. Just told him VL with VT calipers

28-02-16, 15:10 GMT+10#106 New brake lines are on as well as a whiteline front sway bar and a newer set of rear shocks ( not the greatest but still better than the 28yo junk that was on there)

Bought another LS1, this one with a cam and stuff in it for $1800

I scored an Exeedy heavy duty clutch with the engine for $150 as well

I pulled the old engine out last time I was home in the hope of being able to swap them over in a day however I couldn't get the old spigot bearing out of the old motor and I snapped an oil pressure sender adapter so after ordering a new bearing while I was on site, I dropped the new engine in on Friday and it fired straight up

Then yesterday I dropped it off for a tune at BYE Performace

Apparently the car made 390rwhp on BP ultimate which isnt too bad for an otherwise stock LS1

14-07-16, 10:25 GMT+10#112 The power comes on so smooth you hardly notice it until you look down at the speedo!!
The biggest day to day difference is the clutch being a bit heavier than the factory t56 one. Not a problem for me but the missus might have a bit of an issue with it.
Looking forward to running it down the strip in September!
