    Were the Sahara models the premium option in Oz? Mine's a 1996 GXL

    Hurarcan touring seats: graphite colour way + FM10 interior trim (blue/grey). How well does it match?

    Gday all. Considering some Huracan touring seats for the 80, but want to find out how close the graphite colour matches the cool grey interior trim (official code FM10). See attached pic for the trim I'm referring to. While I'm at it, for those with these seats installed, would you recommend...

    Jessie. 7yo. Boxer x (probably) Rhodesian Ridgeback. A covid-era rescue. 100% boxer temperament, has all three brain cells of a boxer. Ridgeback showing in her back fur + longer snout. "Everyone thinks they have the best dog in the world. And they are all correct."

    Why is my steering wheel squeaky?

    Greetings all. So, what if you have a ‘96, but without the airbag or cruise control? Still the clock spring, or is that only in the airbag models? Edit: found a video showing disassembly of the non-airbag steering wheel. Does not look like a clock spring is involved, just a simple wire connect...

    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    Perfect thanks. This conversion uses the Marks 4WD kit, and I have receipts for the products if you want me to delve further (but will need to know specific terms to look for). Photos attached of branding/markings. Pipe is in two sections: Section with MAF sensor: ACDelco 15900023 w...

    Hey mate. Sorry for the delay. I’m a newb with auto mechanics (bought this 80 with conversion already in and working). Can you circle the intake pipe your referencing in the pic above?

    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    Thanks for the info. I can't imagine another option to pull better air and have the vehicle look OEM-ish other than putting a hole and grille where a snorkel would normally exit the side panel. Basically a snorkel install without the snorkel :) Perhaps some cleverly designed and laser cut slots...

    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    Hey thanks for the reply. This is my "mall crawler" but sleeper vehicle, aka, mid-life crisis car but not a Ferrari so I don't plan on taking it through any river crossings. It was in great shape when I bought it so I want to keep it as aesthetically OEM as possible. As far as the Radius air...

    Registry 8x Series V8 Swaps

    Howdy all. I have another newb question about my newish LSJ80, this time about the air intake! While poking around in the engine bay I followed the intake pipe to where air enters down near the OEM bumper. The slots/holes in the bumper are obscuring the pipe by maybe 60–70%. Is there anything...

    Speaker upgrade - looking for some advice

    Howdy all. I received my speakers and have begun the front door speaker install. There are two sets of wires coming thought the door jamb, one set (red black) goes to the motor for the window, the second thinner set (blue green) goes to an unused connector. Can someone please confirm this is the...

    Speaker upgrade - looking for some advice

    This is great news. Cheers for the photos, much appreciated! I don't have holse in my door card so will be adding those. In the above pic with the brown door card, is the "layering" (from inside to out) of the install: door card > adapter > speaker > mesh cover? And the screws are holding the...

    Speaker upgrade - looking for some advice

    Hi. I'm looking at these speakers for my 80. Did the front ones fit ok on you door card with a small spacer? I haven't pulled the door apart yet so curious to distill "you need shallow mount speakers" general advice into some concrete measurements or first hand experience fitting the EX...
