30 splines for the M86.

I had exactly the same problem, my alarm would go off for exactly thirty seconds on starting the car, after an audio "install" my battery was shagged, after about a week of not driving the car the battery was dead and would not recover, even with a solid charge, the car was even spluttering under load. I got a deepcycle batt and all problems dissappeared, my alarm however is installed somewhere and I cant find it at all, when I disconnected the battery the alarm went off for five cycles of 30 secs so be prepared just in case.

Looks good, a mate of mine bought a VE calais not long ago and I remember thinking that for a Expensive Daewoo it had a pretty neat black hoodlining

It must be a Maccas car park over there

Yeah, but isn't the tub liner actually the tub, that is to say that there's not a full metal skin beneath it, but only structural supports? What I was saying is that it may be lighter than alot of people may think.

I don't think thered be much difference in weight, the stylesides are mostly plastic. I have actually seen a tray back xr6t, it was blueprint and the tray was a very stylish custom, it looked awsome. I do believe that one was modded too.

Correct, while other countries and companies had pickup trucks, it was ford australia designer Lou Bandt who first designed the coupe utillity in 1933, for first production in 1934. My memory is a bit sketchy on this bit, but I believe he was killed in a car accident while driving a very old ford ute possibly a '34, but I did hear that it may have been the prototype. EDIT: here ya go, it says that he had restored the ute he died in but it doesnt say what it was. http://www.fastlane.com.au/Features/First_ute.htm

I thought I remembered some one a while back installing a hybrid ic, and where the pipe from the turbo goes along the bottom of the fan shroud I rekon he had to trim some plastic for clearance. I'll try to find the thread.

Do you know if they're those 300+'s from a few years back???
