Love the cappa. Looks nice and neat!

Thanks man yeah its in very good condition

Ran this thing down the 1/4 with my j3 tuning skills only got 15.2 at 92mph 2.2 60s got home thought fuc that added 5 degrees to the high revs and added fuel trimmed some timing down low did ping abit and after that it felt stronger so dyno run next monday see how it looks then get stall looked at then go back and run a 14 thats all im after.

Hey man i was looking in the other thread for this. Do you know how much you shortened the front of the sump by? And how much clerance you have?

Honestly man I couldn't tell you the exact measurements, I have some1 who does this for me... its basically a 45 degree angle from the top front of it...

clearance, shit tonnes. lol

Just did some more tuning on this thing, changed the intake piping to BA/BF, run on the dyno made 150rwkw from about 5200 -5800 power level stays even. Pretty happy.

New mod! Cappa grandma fluffly seat covers wooo , im bored

Haha, gotta love more cappa

Nice Fairmont dude, looks tidy as. 150rwkw in something that looks so fkn stock would probably shock a few people on the road I bet lol, nice!

lol yeah and sitting on leather on a cold morning isnt nice

Thanks man yeah its fun racing people and surprising them especially when its sideways off the mark all the way through an intersection
Your car looks mint too man love heritage green.

Better pic

I love 4.11 Gears, well shitty pintara ones anyway.....




Plan, get the stall replaced for one that stalls to 2800 and get Genuine 3.9s so far quoted $1250 for the diff rebuild.
anyone know any good diff shops in south QLD.... I was quoted from Diff and Gearbox industries at wilston.

Try diff lapping in kedron, or aussie diffs down the coast.

Poll~
Fix diff with 3.9s stall or
Or 3.45s and T5 manual?????

Hmmm manual

Thanks dude ill look into them as well

i have a t5 convertion minus the computer pm if interested

Er... Manual and 3.9s. Don't be a pussy, 3.45s are a waste of time.

This. Mine's manual with 3.9's and it is FUCKING SICK.

Lol well its getting 3.9s ive decided the stall issue is being sorted as thats not costing me, when I blow the auto then likely manual but I dnt want t5 I want tremec hydraulic, as I want to T04e it later

Keep it auto of your going to turbo it.

Yeah mmmmmm I shouldnt manual ay and id just dump the clutch everywhere

Thanks dude, Aussie Diffs gave me a way better price. He is charging $300 for labour against $600.......(thats me taking the stripped diff down to him without axles) $950 with new hob 3.9 gears fitted and lsd tighten i think is good, cant wait to do circles lol

Hey fatz or nath or mike or all feel like helping me pull my diff n gearbox out next weekend lol
