Bought the car like it for $8800, 7 years ago, motor is a VS BT1 out of a old police car, my gearbox is on it's last legs, pretty sloppy, single T4 turbo with a huge front mount cooler, got like 10 k in reciepts =)) I miss my VY SS ute 6 speed, stroked to a 6.2, stage 3 cam, dyno sheets had 333 kw atw, loudest and lumpiest cam, sold it for $22000, stupid p plate lawsWhat have you done to the ecotec?? I know they are a good boost reciever if internals upgraded and box strengthened, but a commie manual box holding any power unless heavily modded??? Whats the secret???

Search JET V6 thats my car wit makes me laugh when people talk shit about the ecotec, they are actually quite a decent motor for a V6.. Internals are really quite strong from factory, cast iron block so you can cook the shit out of it and they don't die.. Depends weather it was a getrag or T5, T5's can take a beatin..man your ski boat will be some fun! Hahahah

ive heard this aswell.. I probably should have added that the temperature at the moment is around 25-30C and they'll spend most of there life during summer where temps will be in the 30's and dry, humidity doesn't get very high where I am either and I can utilise every hour the sun is up as well so I'm hoping I can get away with it.
I will deffinatly keep that in mind, cheers heaps.. This will be my first run with autos so mostly it will be a learning experience.. I thinking about building a greenhouse in the backyard, do you think that would be a better environment for them?Hope it works out, The morning dew alone can rot them when its 80's and 90's daytime and 60's @ night. IMO ..the light is too intense in the summer for blooming.
Greenhouse is a great idea man! Make sure it gets good airflow though....it might be something I get onto sooner rather then later, 30% shade cloth might be an idea I reacon. The summers do get pretty intense here, really dry to, last outdoor I had I was watering it 2-3 times a day in the middle on summer, ended up putting rags over the soil and keeping them damp, hence why I wanted to get around to building a greenhouse

Not that running gear anymore, whole different car now that's why he sold it for so cheap, threw a T4 turbo and a manual box in it and sold it too me, found parts on google for sale from JETV6your kidding me! Haha yeah ive watched a few videos of your car on fullboost on youtube.. It deffinatly is a weapon! Never been a big fan of the VT's but id own yours in a second hahah always liked that maroon they came out with though
lolz i thought you were talking about rigging your car windscreen squirters too your intercooler, too help with cooling temps, very effective and notice more poweryeah I'm planning on building it so I can roll each end up for more air flow and keeping it cooler during the 30+ days.. Got a little rain water tank next to where I want it so I'm thinking of rigging some sort of irritation/dripper system up to the green house so everything is being fed by rainwater.. Going to be a bit of a working progress but it will be worth it
Support literacy, for the 1% who need it. - Australia, probably.irritation/dripper system ...Going to be a bit of a working progress but...
I'm just taking the piss anyway, mate. Sorry for being a knob.everyone else knew what I meant even if my stupid windows phone didn't.. No idea why it changed irrigation to irritation.. Oh well at least I made myself laugh hahah
