called those guys about that tool, they dont sell direct, only through a retailer...........who doesnt have a website :/ I did try the starter motor trick and it worked a charm, wedged the breaker bar between the sway bar join and the A bracket, disconnected the ignition from the coil pack, a quick ...

dude you rock !

yeah you cant (well i couldnt) get it in there without the wheel coming off. Theres a couple of metal dowels used to locate the bracket to the block as well as the 10mm bolt. I did the dodgy and ground the dowels down a bit but i just wanna confirm its in the right spot before i go and replace the s...

Fear not !! its my engine I'm talking about, not the beastie boys (though it was a cool song). Short story is, the bracket for the crank angle sensor broke in my trusty 99 A15SMS woo. I got it out and glued it together (im sourcing another from a wrecker). To get it back in, i did a bit of a dodgy w...

coool thanks dude, ill check them all out soon, hoping its just a crappy contact, not sure how im gonna go if its a sensor :/ had enough trouble trying to get a caliper set (not too many wreckers will ship to canberra).

Hi all, Its been a while but Im hoping someone can help. My trusty '99 1.5 woo (220k km on the clock) has an intermittent hand brake light issue, though lately its on most of the time in forward gears only. Its not a solid on or off state, more that it 'stutters'. Im not feeling any degradation in b...

Hi Daniel, Yeah look you should be fine to mix the two, just listen to your engine and the valve train will tell you when its time to change. The shell oil shouldnt give you any probs, I dunno about the Repco stuff though, if you google it and try and hit some of the falcon / commodore forums that'l...

Hi Daniel, Im in Canberra and used to use 5w50 Shell full synth when mine was new, this oil performed well and 'gave' the car a little more midrange torque, but it also burned through a little too. I mainly used this oil because of the cold winters we were having (it was around -10 when i would go t...

There was a place out Ryde way that used to do 'woo stuff (when 'woos used to race at Goulburn), they mainly do Hyundai performance stuff now but you may be able to pick up some left overs. They used to do exhausts, headers, mod throttle bodies, turbo's etc for the woo. Have a hunt on the web, they ...

seeking information... i might go for this upgrade on my ride someday so i must have the info before hand. MMamdouh MM I put on a 2" cat back I bought off ebay, it came with a glass packed muffler. I didnt notice any power loss, or any great increase but I do get better fuel economy now. Depending ...

Thanks guys, all good stuff. I think I may try and get a hold of a larger airbox (working on the theory of a greater volume of filtered air), additionally, the price of a filter is actually a little cheaper (due to the popularity of the donor car). Tim re: the corrugations, yep I have heard the same...

Sorry,

'99 lanos 1.5, 2" cat back

Yeah, Ive followed the diffent types and methods of induction, and I agree its probably opinion based, I was just wondering if anyone has played around with this sort of thing.

Guys, Ive been thinking about pulling the stock airbox off and running a pod down into the guard (where the resonator was), Ive popped out the fog light cover so there is a clean source of fresh air.....but then I got thinking :idea: , so here is a question for those with the induction knowledge: - ...

Dude, From what I have read, you cant "clean" an O2 sensor, sure you can brush off any carbon and coke, which may help it sniff a little better, but this things are a consumable item, like your spark plugs and need to be replaced. I did find a really good tech article on these things on the web, if ...

I think the only time you run into problems is when you blend different brands (eg: shell & mobil) as they make the oils compatible with one another just in case this happens.
