My mate can get me excellent cond. tripple webbers for $50 on a UC Torana manifold though. Is it worth gettin them or is 3 overkill on a g161 block?

$50??? bargain, back in the day they had triple carbs on old eh's and stuff, buy them and flog it off for a couple hundred, that manifold will fit all older holden sixes such as 186, 202s etc

I probally will flog them off cause coppers dont seem to like me for some reason and Ill end up gettin fucked over. Whats the law concerning carby changes in S.A anyway?

the laws are you can do it as long as you dont get couse or if the carby looks liek the old one and they will never know the difference

shannons and just cars ect will cover ur car with any mod as long as its legal, on my tx 75 model as long as i have the vent valve to the sump connected to the inlet i think it is i can put on whatever the hell i feel like.
later gems have to comply with more adr rules though, go the TX Smile

With Shannons and Just Cars you pay out of your ass though.

well at moment im with suncorp , my prem is 300 and excess is 1800 cause i have modified car, with shannons my prem would be 800 and excess is 750 , or 1000 prem for forced induction either of which is cheaper than suncorp or racq for me. prem is more but add em together and works out less if u have an accident with shannons or just cars

with suncorp, nrma, racq, etc.. they all laffed at me and said we wont cover u at all. i even said i would pay $3000 a year for just 3rd party fire and theft, they still said no

just cars said $900 a year, $1200 excess.

thats for the coupe with fj20 conversion insured for $10000
20 yo with 3 page trafic hystory and 3 los of license

u dont need to hand em in anything, but if u go to claim and cant produce the paper work to prove it is all legal than u can forget about getting anything.
