.....

Hey one and all, I have a problem with my old man's TE Magna wagon. i borrowed it to pick up my new 5ft fish tank last weekend and all was fine. rocked up to the place, opened the boot, put it in. nice gentle drive home, got home...the boot wont open :rant: Now, i have been mucking around...

Hi guys, I've tried searching the forums a few times now and have not been able to find anything helpful so I thought I'd make a new post about my issue... Recently I noticed that the left hand rear side of my car appears to sit higher than my right hand rear side - i.e. I am able to squeeze...

Hey guys, I seem to look for problems in my cars, don't know why. Just wondering about my gear box. I've not had any experience with a slipping clutch, so I don't know what the issues that it can cause are. I've done a bit of a search here and a google but I'm still not quite sure. I've...

Hi,after taking my TW VRX on a long freeway run i must say i am quiet amazed at the amount of road feedback that is being transmitted into the steering wheel at highway speeds and urban speeds,is this normal,it certainly isnt vibrations,just feedback,but the amount of shock through the wheel is...

The only difference between the Ralliart and TJ steering is the pressures...even front wheel alignment is the same...see MMAL workshop manual. So maybe the pump is not different, only the pressure switches/relief valves. When I looked at my PS pump noticed there is an electrical lead going to the...

Have downloaded the manual from lisho.net and turbo charade. But cannot find the specs for my TW. In this case, which is the next closest model to follow? Thanks.

Hey guys my mate is getting a towbar for his TH Magna and we're gonna give it ago at fitting it and was wondering if anyone on here has fitted one themselves and if they could let us know whats involved in fitting it and connecting the wiring harness. cheers, Nathan.

Hi all, I was driving my car home last nite in tiptronic, when I stopped at some traffic lights without gearing down back to 1st. Hence, the car had to select 1st automatically. (which its designed to do). Anyway, when I stopped the car jerked just before stopping and sounded as though one...

Those who are running their Sprintex SC on a manual Magna, how does the gearbox take it? What transmission fluid are you running? Castrol VMX80? Is there a need for a transmission cooler? My auto currently has a transmission cooler. When i go manual should i retain it or convert it to an engine...

hey guys, I'm trying to work out if it would be possible to run a water/meth injection controller using the MAF signal as referencing. Anyone know what the voltage range of our MAFs are? For example apparently most jap sensors read from roughly 0-5V. Any other relevent info also appreciated,...

Hello all, I have just bought a 2000 TH Magna Sports (manual) with 150k on the clock. There is so much that I want to do to it but with research that I have done, it seems a lot harder to mod a magna than your run off the mill commodore or falcon. My last car was a '93 Verada- a fantastic car but...

Hey all, I'm wanting to put in some of those flash Philips bulbs but I'm not sure what I should be getting. My magna's an 01 and I dunno if I need H1, H7 etc... Also can someone who has them tell me if hey actually look good too? Like are they blueish type light and a lot better than stock?? ...

I got one of this apexi super afc and I'm thinking of installing it this weekend. But at the moment I'm not so sure about the ecu pinouts, the manual I got from the internet is a bit fuzzy (as you can see in the photo). I know that the pin#41 is the power and the pin#65 is the air flow signal but...

Hey, How much should I be paying for a centre console, just the bit where the air comes out, and the leads run down to the passengers footwell. I was quoted $139 for each item from this particular area. Is this average? Also $11 for window handles lol what a rip.

My exhaust has been sounding a bit weird last two days, like theres and extra sound. Only tonight when I got home I opened my drivers door and revved the engine and could hear the normal exhaust sound from the back but also a extra buzz or reverb coming from the mid section of the exhaust. I had...

There is a similar thread here but it is very old and not the same brand. Talking to my Dad's mate, he put one of these on his Diesel truck and swears by them. Dad just bought one for my brother for his birthday. They are around $400-$500 I believe. Anyone on here running one of these...

I need the rear engine mount and associated damper for my 3 litre manual TS. Are aftermarket mounts OK or should I stick with genuine parts here? Also where would be a good place to get these? Thanks! https://i36.tinypic.com/mowih.jpg

Hi all, I run a CNC Copper head gasket, its 1.5mm thick. For those who dont know, it decompresses your engine so you can run decent amounts of boost. My dramas is this, Copper head gaskets are a B1TCH to seal. You basically run your engine dry, get them warm and introduce a pepper block...
