Go Paul ! That is what I wanted to do with my trans! I live on you! Is that even an expression ? Or I sound too non binary?

Last year my transmission had issues as you guys know. It got rebuilt by an specialist and after $8k later it was better than new, allegedly. 800hp specialty build from the shop. I am lucky funds were not an issue. However I have a terrible bitter after taste in my mouth because I didn't try to...

This means the car is being used as it was intended.

It is good to monitor fuel consumption as it can help identify if something is about to go wrong.

I would include all of it

At least they gave you the option to have a more melow tune. When I called to tell them about the clunky shift they said that is the way it has to be because of the extra clutches. Now I am just waiting for the warranty on the rebuild to finish to start playing with the trans tune.

Let us know what the ATF looks like. Hopefully not much glitter will be found.

I had ago cooking a brisket the other day. Looked good but was a bit too dry. I should have stopped around 96C i think. Better to follow my Brazilian heritage and stick to the Picanha (rump cap). A bit overcooked but it was delicious !

It's been a while since last update but that doesn't mean nothing has happened during this time. The weird engine noise is still around, i stopped by the shop who cut the seats on the cylinder heads and the guy was kind enough to have a listen with a stethoscope. He doesn't think there is...

That explains why the thread was so quiet. A bit too uneventful for a modded commodore :). Me, who didn't go on holidays, had bad engine mounts , stripped valve cover thread on the block and a failed oil pressure sensor ! We are glad to hear you were having a good time.

I had issues with my 6l80 around 120k km on my VF2 redline. No gear would engage. She was towed to the mechanic. The fluid was so,bad that blocked the filter. They replaced the filter and topped up the oil. After 5K kms I dumped the oil and the fluid was really bad and full off glitter. She...

I believe i posted this before.

Sorry to hear that mate. Hopefully is not major like the trans. Keep us posted.

Squeamish I am when I see umodified genuine parts. Good stuff , one day I will get there.

What a shame the 10s didn't come this time mate. Apart from going NA , my only suggestion is to start loging so you can have some data to tick some boxes. We are all cheering and people are asking all the right questions and with a inexpensive OBDIi dongle you could be getting lots of important...
