I just bought a v8 vy calais with 140k on the clock and I'm storing it in my shed for 10 years as a weekend driver. Reckon it will go up $1,000 a year in value and club permits are only $320, so nice fun investment car.

Good video boys, Currently in the process of restoring my VY calais s2. Been off the road for 3.5 years and is now my daily driver! Would love to make some videos but no idea where to start.
Built the whole thing myself, Converted manual with a t56, 408ci stroker and previously had a 100 shot on it.

[@twincrossmedia]

quick question why does people gap there plugs on modded l67s shit i still run stock 1.3s on mine

[@TinShed]

Wasted spark coils don't have enough power to make the spark jump the gap under a lot of compression. when you squeeze the molecules under the compression stroke the spark has to jump through all of that matter to the other electrode to ignite the air/fuel. Having a smaller gap helps the spark make that jump.
The trade off is it will reduce your ignition area reducing your fuel efficiency as not all the fuel will burn in the combustion chamber. At least there will not be a miss anymore.
I'll do up a detailed explanation in a video about these questions.

Just wondering what Shaun replaced to stop the squeaking at 2:32 as my vy Calais s2 l67 does the same and i cant seem to figure out what it is and its driving me insane even my mates cant figure it out

[@TinShed]

I was just an idler pulley on the tentioner mate

[@danielellisvangent7594]

I’m just wondering what camshaft do you have in the car?

[@TinShed]

Shaun currently runs a ZZP Xp-Hot which is similar to a mace stage 1.5/2

[@cpzmelbs]

Still no mic?

[@TinShed]

Don't Worry.. We've started using it on the new videos
