Can't say I've ever liked the spindly look of those ultraleggeras/superleggeras/etc, but it's a nicely done car.

Do you have enough foglights? I think you could fit some more on the roof.

Just a wee 149HC, attached to a toyota 4sp. It'll pull highway speeds but it takes a while to get there. The torana is the 'powerhouse' of the driveway, with a 202 and m20

Another EJ owner on SA, I never would have guessed!

My one has a 149 too, but a VK trimatic and 3.08:1 rear gears, cruising is about the only thing it can do..

Thats a nice clean example too, mines just a daily

Thanks! Yes it is completely stock except for the headlights. The factory ones were quite cloudy and and I wasn't happy with the job I did trying to polish them.

Digging in your brown for gold!
Purchased the 2008 Audi A4 S-Line 2.0T Special Edition in March 2008. Just picked up the 2001 Audi TT roadster 1.8T about two months ago. I'm in Ohio and having the all wheel drive is great for driving in the snow.

My garage a couple weeks ago.



I also own a 1978 Porsche 911 Targa 3.0L but it is in dire need of a full restoration (some old man had it in his barn for 10 years under a tarp but up on wooden blocks). Anyone know a place near Cincinnati Ohio that could restore an old Porsche?

I have had this problem since I got my 04 back in 04. you also have to get used to how expensive every part is.

Are the parts available, just expensive? Or are there things you can't get?

GM has to hold parts for at least 10 years, plus the fact that there are tons of Commodores in Australia, you should be fine

I took my G8 in for service (and the three recalls on it) And I needed them to fix under warranty my floor mats among other things. The plastic clips that hold the mats in place will break. Basically they have been on backorder for a couple of weeks. But I did get an email that they are in at the dealer now and I should make a trip up and get my car fixed. But I fully expected the parts delay here in the US that happened with the GTO to happen to the G8. And that is why I bought the extended warranty.

Awesome goat, I have a black '05 but secretly want a yellow or orange one. I haven't had any problems with parts, although there isn't a ton of stuff that's broken on mine (knock on wood). I've heard alternators are expensive (like $700 brand new) and maybe some suspension parts, but all the engine and transmission components are shared with other GM cars so I wouldn't worry. Oh yeah the keys are expensive ($165) but that's to be expected for any newer car.

Well, it's not the worst I've ever seen...

Does it mean anything in particular? I see the trigger and the shell.
