Future Mods
Dunno, maybe a small cam but am happy with the car now.

General Comment
Marrano's did all the mechanical work and delivered what I wanted. The car gets driven in the city every day, so I wanted something with impeccable road manners that could get nasty if you sink the boot. The little blower is good for that and puts out 285rwkws.

It's useless at the drags as the intake temps get too hot too quick and I've only managed a 13.06 @ 116mph on 1 outing with the blower.

Still, it delivers about the same power as a cammed car but still feels stock putting around town. For my particular application, its great.

The stereo is something else. I finally got a headunit capable of playing DVD Audio discs and the sound is stunning when playing discs in this format.

Nice ride. Cheers for all the details on the mods too. Good read.

[DaveHAT]

Simple ... effective and classy, enough said.

Nice one Scott. :beer:

[HSV271]

Bloody awesome ride you have... well done.

[Pulse Red]

Looks fantastic Scott! I really like this car and the mods are really well thought out. Great colour too!

Stereo is impressive. Although how did you mount the sub box to stop it moving around?

[scat2k3]

Thanks guys.

Daniel, the sub box weighs around 20kgs and is "stuck" to the floor with double sided carpet tape. Doesn't move at all, but then, I haven't driven around any corners at violent speeds.

If it ever does move, I might have to look at some form of bracket with wing nuts for easy removal.

Cheers,

Scott

[Pulse Red]

I was just curious as in my old VX SS I had a sub box that was a little bit bigger with metal brackets that attached to the moulded plastic floor and it still moved around with heavy cornering. However that was not "normal driving" :D

I want to go further with the stereo in my Monaro but it seems these cars are hard to get decent sound out of so I dont know if I should start something I cant finish!

Hey Scott with the Aero Force scan gauges is it just plug and play or for say something like oil pressure do you need other bit and pieces?

It's plug and play, although some versions require separate power plumbing

Yep, Dunc is correct. Just plug and play with these babies.

Cheers,
