I have recently done this. Instead of pulling the switch and opening a line of power to the light, the switch operates a relay which tells the headlights to take their power directly from the battery. They are MUCH brighter. Also, this eliminates voltage drop caused by having to run the light power ...

You're going to need EFI rated rubber hose to replace ALL the fuel hose in the car. Clamps should be fine but I'd get new ones too. In terms of the hard lines, I ran my turbo G161z on standard lines for years and it was fine. I had a much larger return line that I put in (as my car had no return lin...

So from what you guys are saying, I can get an early Commodore glovebox light and mount it there, and also in the boot (I'll have to look for that one)? I'm pretty keen to put them in.

What cars specifically should I be looking at? VB/C Commodores or later than this?

What goes here on a TD bonnet?

Hey guys,

Just noticed this spot on the underside of my bonnet. Is it for an assistance light or something else?

Restoring early model tail light surrounds

Hey guys, My coupe's tail light surrounds are a bit ratty. I'm trying to figure out how to restore them to like-new. I've rubbed off a bit of the grey/cream paint to find that they are fully chrome underneath, but I don't like this look - too much bling for me. I want to paint the grey/cream back on...

Yup, you would want to mod the firewall and tunnel to get the engine as far back as you can.

You will make much easier power with the E85 over the LPG. IF you look at some builds here, some people run lpg and some petrol and it always seems that the petrol people make more power.
