    Supercharger dropped bearings

    Seemed to shift smoothly, which I was cautious about. They’ll take $60k, which im happy to spend, but might just steer clear, probably another VF for sale with the same stuff just want a car before christmas

    Supercharger dropped bearings

    Hi all, Looking at buying a blown VF SS. I was on the phone to the owner and he said he previously bought it with a magnuson heartbeat supercharger on it. The blower failed, dropped bearings into the engine apparently. Taken to performance workshop, they chose not to strip the engine but put...

    im240 test

    Hey all, Last year in december I got defected for too loud. Forged bottom end, big cam, ported and polished heads, high comp motor. Ended up swapping a stock cam into it and taking it to regency park (government inspection for vehicles in SA) and passed. I then just ended up getting the car...

    I’m not cashed up like that, got on my knees for him Exactly, just swapped the cam and got a quiet system made up for it that’s all I changed and she’s back on the road. Very easy to pass lol.

    Regency was a piece of piss, OTRs are legal as long as MAF is in and no engine cover is also legal. too easy. Thanks fellas.

    I don’t have a poor driving record at all, I don’t want to get into my personal life details however, I’ve applied with a position with SA Police last year and waiting for the intake into the academy, they do not allow people with poor driving history to enter. I have also only had one speeding...

    Quick question If I get a quiet enough system but dont change the cam and they notice - will I be up for an im240 test? Agreed mate, the car is still rocking the stock stereo and speakers because I refuse to ruin a vehicle like this with that. So no doof doof lol

    That's what I'm saying, its the main reason I'm annoyed. There's no reason to lie about how I received it, the car is clean presents very well, is up for sale and this happens I'm not trying to draw excess attention to myself. Only thing I can think of is the automatic number plate reader picked...

    im just old school and like to do things properly and take the engine out to swap a cam not by pulling it out the engine while it’s still in the engine bay. Where could I source a stock LS1 cam anyway? No ones selling any LS1’s in my area and if they are it’s $5k for a motor

    Does it really matter what they tick at the end of the day as Mine was just ticked exhaust and written “check levels” and it has to go to regency so even if it was a full list of things the whole car has to be inspected, correct?

    Thanks for the detailed write up mate. So essentially I’m screwed. Not wanting to put an old cam from an old LS1 into a brand engine. everything else is in perfect operational order, seatbelts etc there’s no subwoofers and the car only as 120,000kms. It is what it is I guess just can’t have...

    I’m being honest, why would I lie about that? It’s insured for $25k through Shannon’s and I can grab the paperwork to prove it if you wish. I know what cops are like with modified vehicles that’s why I try to not draw attention to myself and this cop spent all of about 5 minutes with me then left.

    Hey all, Last week I got my pride and joy defected. Was sitting in a car park just about to get out, cop pulls up to me 'can you start it up for us mate' (mind you it is an underground carpark) he then proceeds to open the door and rev it and says 'thats a bit loud mate dont you think' Now...
