>expecting album to be pretty shit
>its actually kinda nice and chill
too fucking short though

My DD is an L98
My weekender is a 304

Was there ever an actually aussie designed V8 that wasnt just some bullshit GM US engine with some tinkering or a Ford US import with some tinkering?

2 of them - holden v8 and Leyland v8

>Pic related my sbh 304

don't think so m8. its aussie in the same way that every commodore was just a slightly modified Opel kek.

Great aussie 5L boat anchor is a top tier engine
Tough as nails

Thank you for proving just how fucking stupid you are.

What engine did they copy then retard?

>pro tip - it isn't a copy of any engine.

It bears similarities to Buick, Chevrolet and ford engines. Try making an iron block 5 litre v8 that doesn't share similarities with other iron block 5 litre v8s.

It's pretty sad that this is more original than a VL.

That's a VK ya pomgolian cunt

>you will probably restore a VE SS with your son
It's a weird thought

GO THE 202!!!

Anyone have that pic of a vt-vz with a 202 swap

Heres a vs

Well that is a VK, but here is my explanation;

The majority of VL enthusiasts would be aged between 27 and 35.

They grew up with with them as kids.

There is this phenomenon where cars of an era age to the point of being affordable for young drivers. Currently this is BA/BF Falcons and VY/VZ Commodores.

So there is about 12-15 years for your average car to reach this price point where they're affordable for P Platers.

In the late 90s/early 2000s this was when the VL Commodore reached this point.

There was also a perfect storm of other factors that have turned this in to such a popular cult car.

Other significant car culture items that occurred at the same time;

- Gran Turismo franchise
- Fast and the Furious franchise (and other car movies like Gone in 60 Seconds)
- Cheap Chinese turbos and intercoolers
- Victorian P Plate laws

The last two points are particularly important.

Vls are fucking gay and blow off valves are even gayer

Sounds about right, When i was a kid the vy/vz commodores came out and i was always drooling over them, by time i was on P plates the vz sv6's were cheap cars and i bought one for my first car.
Still want a vz maloo, idk why.

...

The Victorian P Plate rules from 1996 to 2007 consisted of the following restrictions;

125kw / tonne
3.5l / tonne

So a base model VL SL Turbo at 1250 kg & 150kw was right on the power limit

RB30s are extremely responsive to modifications. The standard 150kw at the engine can be transformed in to 10 times that amount

> see pic of GH0747'S most recent build. Still with SOHC head

The standard VL Turbo gearbox is identical to the z32 5 speed, r33 5 speed and d22 Navarra 5 speed, with the exception of the cosmetics of the outer case. There are cars running 8 second quarters with the manual box.

The diff is good enough to be used in standard form in 8 second Street cars. It is also easy to get parts for if you wish as the bw78 came out in lots of cars in many configurations

Well most don't use blow off valves.

>not getting a 5litre vl instead
>wanting a floaty r31

fukin p plates cunt

>to be australian you have to like absolutely everything australian
fuck off m8, the vl is a shitbox

>imblying not every vl owner is a dumbcunt p plater who finds hectic habib funny and that fucking irritating whistling noise not an abomination to forced induction

Well looks like you're wrong about 2 things there cobber

Modifying a turbocharged car was very expensive prior to about 2003.

For example if you wanted an intercooler you had 3 options -

- Pay 2-3k for a japanese brand like Trust or Greddy and get custom made pipes

- buy a Garrett intercooler core for about a grand and get custom made end tanks and pipes made up

- get a second hand intercooler core from a truck and get it cut down to size and get custom made end tanks and pipes made up

All if those options aren't cheap and all have been brought down significantly by the flood of cheap Chinese shit

For example you can now get a brand new Garrett turbocharger for about 1500 that would have been over 3k in the early 2000s

Not many p platers with vl turbos. You sound like a particularly salty cunt. When you grow up and finish school are you going to get an Au falcon?

Move to NSW and get a 5.0 aussie ironblock cunt

Oath cunt aus are unstoppable

Funny thing is that all commodore v8s were legal under old vic p plater rules until the ls1s in vt/wh

Nice try falcunt. You're just shitty that this isn't a discussion about the worst model falcons ever made

lel the 308 in VLs were complete buckets of shit, turbo or gtfo

90-100km/h limit in nsw tho

Fuck off dickhead youre just jealous your vn ute doesnt have a 35ton towing capacity and a 5 star ancap safety rating

No such thing as a vn ute. And my DD is a VE SS

Thats gay as bet its got chev badges

Why do Aussies love Commodores so much?

Because nothing says Australia fuck yeah like a German saloon with an American V6 between the strut towers.

Is that thing human?

its funny because its true

There are no other cars that fill that category for that price.

>old fords
>old euro cars
>old jap cars

Bogans are dumb.
The rest of us like the V8 models because the bang for buck is unparalleled. Also glorious NA power and response

Holden 253, 308 and 304 engines

thats literally it, every other v8 is just a murrican engine design

new cars when i was a kid were BA/BF falcons, im waiting a few more months to buy a BF/FG falcon so ill say you're pretty close to the point

When i was even younger my parents drove a HG Kingswood, now all i want to do is own one exactly like it

this is my fetish: images.lmgtfy.com/?q=thong leotard leggings

I wish I had a gf to fulfil my fetishes

>tfw gf has been trying to fulfill my fetish plus bring some new stuff in
feels good man. she's pretty much up for anything.

>tfw no gf

Nah, I'm a Chad.
