Bolt a TT on an LS1 in your garage one sunday arvo and drive out no problems...Never seen it done below 15 - 20 grand.....The kit might costs 7 or 8 then you gotta make it fit... Then you need a tuner, exhaust mods, intake mods...(woops smoked the clutch first time I drove it mods) .. Anyone know anyone that has blown an LS1 for less than 15 grand?????

RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 8m 4d Posted 11/09/06 07:35 AM Share Posted 11/09/06 07:35 AM Blonksta,It appears that you and I have created a bit of a stir over at LS1. I really don't give a crap either way, but isn't it funny how every sub 25 year old with a commie seems to have smoked a Typhoon or 2. And boosted ones at that.

A guy at work bought an SV6 and it has 1992 Camry seats in it. Flat as anything and no bolstering. I don't know why Expensive Daewoo do that to their customers. Sh!t!

nang3 12" member Donating Members 2,107 Member For: 19y 8m 7d Location: Perth WA Posted 11/09/06 08:08 AM Share Posted 11/09/06 08:08 AM I used to drive a modded AU and everyone wanted to have a go. Now, in the typhoon, everyone leaves me alone, except ss ute drivers. For some reason ss ute drivers seem to get a bit hysterical near the typhoon and do stupid things, like launch before the lights change. And a couple of weeks ago, one was sooo anxious to blast past and then cut in front of me for a left turn, he nearly took out a Suzuki Swift. Truth is, I didn't even see him till he pulled in in front and then locked up to avoid the Swift. Yessiree, typhoons seem to have a strange effect on ss ute drivers.←haha mate I get the exact same thing!!Clubbies, monaros etc ignore me but SS utes and Maloos ALWAYS want to have a run!!
