any one got a price of getting the car mod plated even rough i just need to know if its gonna be like $100 or like $1500

so u think im getting ripped. i dont think i could do it my self im 17 and a apprentice carpenter i dont wanna try, ill take the motor out my self ( a12 and box) but thats probly as far as ill go i dont have a enclosed place eather ill probly rebuild the diff with with a good lsd with my dad because he has lots of experience with that, hes about to start his torana SLR5000 but were struggling to find a place that will sell a LS7 if any one knows were he could get one of them that would be good but... its not eazy to find them there a 427 small block from the new corvette ( 505 hp !!!) we have found them on the net but i think he wants to go through i proper shop

hey all thanks for all the help the shop ( stainless customs) is charging 1500-2000 to drop the motor and box in and put the diff in ( and mod it to fit) and to put a exhuast on it they coulnt give me a price on the wireing though . that price is if i pull the original motor and box out my self there allso putting the front brake booster on but i might do that my self . any ways just a question what size ehaust do u recomend i put on i was thinking 2.5inch becuase i want it quite but im unsure about it becuase its 1.8

thanks \

all ways all in

hey i was on this site asking questions about droping a ca18det in to a datson 1200 ute a few months ago.

now i have the ute and a shop that can do it ( AND THATS DONE IT BEFORE), a quote for the price of droping the motor and box and diff in and build the exhaust.

now all i need is the prices on mod plateing in townsville (qld) a half cut of a s13 or the motor and box and a r31 diff

some help with theese last things is needed any advice or people selling this stuff in the next 3 weeks in townsville would be cool thanks

hey u should swap me for my 1200 ute (stock) and an amount of money. buy a xr250 save like crazy and drop a big motor in it to make it a drag/ track car. if its gonna be a track car there are way better engine ops than a ca18 (though there the best for the road)

u have done exzactly what im gonna do to my ute in the next month or so ( if things go right)

OR
keep ur car and just wait it out not being able to drive isnt the end of the world 3 months will will be over before you know it . if u dont mind me asking what did u do to loose it anyways

thanksQuote:

my dad has a 2003 vy ss wagon its black with red leather and is as low as it can be with the darkest tint and the loudest exhaust (legally) but its not that quick the computers in it let it down. i read in a street commadors mag that theres a place in townsville that can retune it and get a extra 40-60rwkw at the wheels this would be great and would make it 300-320kw at the engine i think that would make it go as good as it looks and sounds if anyone knows anythink about this "retune" can u please let me know

thanks
