I got mine from pedders and they were the same price. There is a left and a right hub. Not sure if you can just flip one around and it will fit

They stiffen up the chassis, body flex is all but eliminated. Good for racing applications, but not daily use. Definitely good jacking point if you do alot of maintenance. Also lowers ground clearance between the wheels. Could be a con if you see big speed bumps

@Billy_Ray_Garage dam quick reply there Bud. 😉👍. Yup, mines a daily, and strictly a road gem. So yup, will avoid thanks pal

@russcole5685 just woke up for work, so up early haha. It's fine to up the power, but don't beat yourself up with those on a daily

@Billy_Ray_Garage all good mate, just heading to bed for the night. LoL 😂. Opposite sides of world LoL 👍. Enjoy your day man, don't bust your arse

Just google "Pontiac GTO Spyder Halo Projector Headlights" there are a ton of sites selling them. Maverickman.com has them for $245 I just saw

Very good deal! Mine had like 139k before the build as still ran strong. Good luck with it

Yeah i have one, just haven't used it haha. Still would like to disconnect the security system tho

Don't know if I'd go with the LSA. I like the maggies. Know the LSA is a potential cheaper route. Would love to supercharge tho!

Think it's more a dishwasher replacement 😢

Appreciate it, thanks for watching!

@@Billy_Ray_Garage No problem. You drop a lot of good gems of information and how to's. Especially, considering that GTO information is sometimes very scarce. Thanks to you.

@whenniceguysretaliate5619 I'm winging some of it since I can't find info on the car. I'm gonna put as much out until the car is done! And even then it probably won't be done 🤣

@@Billy_Ray_Garage I hear you and don't blame you. Sometimes I research the Holden Monaro as well and there are digital Service manuals online too. But, if available, it's just good for me to see it before I touch it. So to speak. Otherwise, I'm trying to dive in as much as possible. Because Mechanics are expensive and sometimes they just don't know what they are doing. Then it's potentially DYI anyway as I had to do to fix my Pedders suspension installation. Fun times. That said, I feel you on the probably not done building aspect. And even though I'll probably keep mine close to stock, there are still things I want to do even though it's running pretty good for the most part. Ironically, I'm not sure if I want to do the Mishimoto Radiator anymore based on this video. But we'll see.

@@whenniceguysretaliate5619 the mishimoto radiator, I'm not sure if you put a higher temp thermostat in if that would help. I have the race thermostat now. That would be trial and error on someone else's car haha

Wonder if that has something to do with what I was talking about with the throttle body? You got drive by wire and I got cable. I'd have to open mine up a bit to keep it running. Probably not used to snow down there huh? 😅

That 6.0 probably gives you like 50 ponies over mine!

That's an awesome deal! And ideal project car with a rebuilt title

That's pretty much how I found my brake master. Looked outside the US haha. That part is discontinued here. 383s sound nice! That be a fun project. Replacing bushings makes the car much better, even if you replace with rubber would be beneficial. I feel the same about my car, I love it so much! First new car I ever got and will never let it go! Thanks for watching halfway around the world. Appreciate it alot! Hope to give you more ideas

@Billy_Ray_Garage chur my bro. If I was to win the lotto, I'd really like to completely tidy/restore the car. Then ship it to the state for me to tour around and see the country, in a vehicle I'm familiar with. As well as show the GTO community another version of a great car they missed out on. I'm sure there is away of getting a temporary tourists registration for a visiting car. I'm not completely sure, but it's a nice dream to have and to work towards. Need goal's to keep the will moving. LoL 😂👍

Went with a mishimoto. Also got their 165* racing thermostat

Nice....

I'll look it up. Let me get back to you on that

@boundlessbuilt943 manufacturers #19418226 its AC Delco original equipment. Google and it will come up. No issues with it. I believe it's the 3rd one I've used and never had issue with any of them

I had the same issue in the front but the spring was rubbing the tire. As far as the back goes, that's rebound travel. Not sure if the spring would stay in with their extra travel if you got airborne haha 😆

I did because they seemed short. Had to adjust more because it was rubbing on the tire. Still lowered about an inch

Yeah you want to turn the TC off or it will bog it down. When I get the suspension clunk sorted I'll do the run down on what you gotta do.

Thanks for watching from Norway! I'm not sure if this info is correct, but the only size I found was 16mm with 1.5 thread pitch. Hope that helps!

I got pedders Xa extreme adjustable coilovers. There are 30 click. Height and rebound adjustable too

@@Billy_Ray_Garage that awesome, I'll have to look them up

Only thing I can think of would be they are on the softest setting and the rebound is set long. Not sure the camaro set up. I'll have to Google them

@@Billy_Ray_Garage thank u

@@damonbernard2802 looked at a pic, doesn't seem to have the rebound travel the GTO has. Much shorter. Mine has 30 damping settings. It's set like 8 clicks from the hardest and its pretty solid. I would try that first since it's the easiest to adjust

@@Billy_Ray_Garage its crazy bouncin. I hit a dip, thought I lost it. Difficult to adjust? Gotta take the wheel off?

@@damonbernard2802 not sure what you have to do. My adjuster is in the trunk. Based on the pics I've seen of that coilover, the adjuster is in the wheel well somewhere. My only camaro experience is driving a newer SS. Never worked on one

Actually ended up doing that a few weeks later. Haven't had to adjust since, but figured it couldn't hurt

@@Billy_Ray_Garage Hell yeah, absolutely!

🤣🤣🤣

Haha. I did just install my new washing machine. Does that count too?

It's fall here, so I can let it wait til spring at least

@@Billy_Ray_Garage I hear you. Save while you can; sounds like a plan. Hope you get a good deal and installer.

Yeah I'm over it too haha

Just one bottle in, then run the water through a couple times to get everything out.

Thanks for watching and I hope the vids help you! I think the brake issues was from letting it bleed out all the way. I'm gonna try replacing my rear calipers in case they seized up. Is you ECU tuned? That could throw a code. I just got dyno'd and tuned and all my lights are gone now

That's awesome! You get to drive it yet and test it out? The headers suck to install but definitely worth it! I have nothing in the way of adding power on the way. I want to strengthen it though. The plan is all new rear(gforce), bigger brakes, wheels and t56 magnum trans. Should see that or part of that in the winter/spring

@@Billy_Ray_Garage yeah I live in an apartment and drive it across the state to my parents house to work on it so every time I work on it I gotta be ready to drive it back across the state in a span of a few days😂

I don't understand either. Wasn't on my bingo card for the car. This guy has been tuning for 25 years so he's gotta know something. It's been running great, just needs to warm up a lil before you drive to make it happy

Not sure if it's because I bled the system dry, but maybe try to plug the lines to not introduce air? Only thing I can think of

@@Billy_Ray_Garagedid air get in the abs unit?

@@jb6574 yeah I did. I did an automated bleed the other day. Didn't work. Wonder if you have to do it multiple times for it to work

I hope so too! The last thing I thought would be an issue

@@Billy_Ray_Garage Tell me about it. Didn't think brakes were that complicated, but lately I've been learning a lot. Not to mention, how some mechanics don't know everything and can fix a Wheel Bearing issue "thinking" it's causing a Brake issue. At least, hopefully, that's the excuse. People underestimate how important skilled Blue Collar Workers are and the EVs wont fix this issue. More than likely, it'll make it worse for the average person.

Tuner said over radiator robs power. Not sure how that happens. Add a few commented saying the same thing. As for the brakes, don't think there is a wire going to the pads. Worth checking tho. Thank for watching from NZ!

Otr definitely Xair,Vcm

@@robirvine2922 to right. There are many brands, but yes, the VCM is what I run on my LS1 04 HSV Clubsport

Definitely look into it. Maybe swap it out over the winter. Just got the car on the road and want to play with it first haha

@@Billy_Ray_Garage to right. I'd do the same.

Thanks! Yeah that thing was bad! Would have taken much longer if the engine wasn't in. Been driving the car, shifts feel much better

@@Billy_Ray_Garage we did the LS7 tick performance clutch slave cylinder and master clutch cylinder package which I did care for to much due to the stiffer peddle but it’s my sons car he likes it . I think my white hairs grew white hairs lol that job almost kicked my ass but at the end I was victorious lol . These LS engines have that freeze plug style at the end of the crankshaft in front of the pilot bearing that was a fun one didn’t know was there when I was trying to remove the almost impossible to remove pilot bearing.

Thank you for the ground work of doing the different upgrades and repairs you have been doing to your GTO for the GTO community can learn from👍👍

​@@killohertz1 the pedal is very stiff and I have a stage 2+ clutch on top of it. My pilot bearing was ridiculous to get out. Didnt change it this time since it's still pretty new

@@Billy_Ray_Garage lol yea that pilot bearing ain’t no joke. I definitely watching some more of your videos, especially the one when you were doing the bushings for the cradle.

Million dollar question 😅 honestly jeeps are worse with all the knockoffs out there

I do what I want!

It is! 💀

Thanks for watching! Just glad the struggle is getting not as bad as it was in the beginning 😅

@@Billy_Ray_Garage can agree. I'm starting to think my rear bearing in my gearbox on my Commodore is on its way out. Very slight rumble, gets worse the faster I drive so I know it's the tailshaft bearing. Would change sound with engine rpm, or gear selection otherwise is my thinking. Not looking forward to taking that apart. Pretty sure it's the same T56 6speed as in your Manoro (GTO)

​@@russcole5685 is it a 2 piece driveshaft like the monaro? GTO had one and the carrier bearing rubber broke apart. It would rumble at launch and at certain speeds

@@Billy_Ray_Garage yup. My carrier bearing was replaced maybe 5or6 years ago. I can hear this slight noice coming from just forward of the gear stick. Do it's in the box some where. Out put shaft bearing? Can't think of the correct name. I'll have to do a Google search for an exploded assembly picture

@@russcole5685 yeah if there is any play in the input shaft you'll def feel that. I've only broke down one transmission before. Maybe when I get my new one I'll tear down the old one and try a rebuild.

Yeah I called the tuner, he said that's probably the case. Lean codes were definitely the vacuum leak. Those haven't come back

It needs it!

Oh boy! See if you can find that bolt at a junk yard. Or get a thread chaser and try to salvage it. Not sure about the thread pitch. Don't think I'd trust those 3 little bolts to hold it in place

@@Billy_Ray_Garage thanks, yeah i did get 2 bolts from the junkyard just in case, the passenger side seems easier to align that the driver side oddly enough, so I’m gonna bolt up the passenger side and hopefully it’s gonna be smooth.

@@Ray-tt6tn try cleaning the threads on both the hole threads and the bolt. On mine, they used some type of loctite. That could be holding it up too.

@@Billy_Ray_Garage quick update, i did the passenger side.. it was a big headache but much better than the driver side, installed the big center bolt first then the smaller 3 gave me a hard time cause they weren’t aligning well i cross threaded the inner one but hey i got it all in now! Now i just have to go back to the driver side :) definitely not having fun with this project lol.

​@@Ray-tt6tnthat whole cradle is a headache haha. Did you use an alignment tool? I've read it has come misaligned from the factory on some of the cars.

It's worth a shot. Gonna mess with it. I had the computer tuned when I took it out. I'm sure it will be fixed when it gets dyno'd. Yeah utility company isn't for everyone. Been in for 12 years. Just becomes normal. Stay safe brother!

I know it will be worth it at some point 😅

Only one speed! And it ain't slowing down!

I looked it over quickly, seems fine. If that lean code pops up again then I'll probably have to find a vacuum leak. I can try that those. thanks

@@Billy_Ray_Garage I hear you. Good luck.
