My GU 4.2 turbo (its for sale too ;) ) used 16ltrs/100km towing boats for the melbourne boat show at the start of the year. None of the boats were under 2500kg, and i tow at 100km/hr (bit more a few times, slow ass bastards in the fast lane sh1t me ;) ). If i'm driving nicely at 100km/hr not towing,...

G'day mate, i got my seats from The Motorshed down here in Geelong, they came with sliders/rails. Now, i consulted a engineer on this, and he said as long as you dont take a welder to the bases, he and the law are cool with that. The rails i got with the seats were about 10mm to narrow to suit the b...

I put some aftermarket seats into my gu, i was goin to modify the bases etc, but that kinda falls under the "illegal" side of the law here in vic. I had to end up buyin bases off Paratus seats, $170 each. More than i wanted to spend, but, they have the "ADR approved" sticker on t...

I went the roo lites, purely because i won a brand new set on ebay for about $160-odd for 220's :) dunno what they're like, havent fitted them yet. For the amount of time you really spend on high beam, i cant justify the extra. I'm sure most people will disagree, but you get that :)

Build quality seemed good, plenty of room under the guards, one i saw had standard 16-inch wheels/tyres off a GU and...

When you say "worked well", how "well" are we talking? Did the boost come on low enough? Ie: my stock GU 4.2 turbo (just pump/timing adjusted/3" exhaust/more boost) is gettin around 10psi by 2000rpm in 2nd/3rd gear easily. By 3000rpm its gettin 16psi easy, thats all i ever r...

I put a 3" mandrel exhaust on my 4.2 factory turbo. Denco Dump pipe, set the timing, upped the fuel quite a bit (please get a Exhaust temp gauge before you do that) and wound the boost up to 15psi. I get around 12ltrs/100km on the highway driving normally (ie: if the speed limit is 110km/hr, i ...
