Water Pump failed at 195,000 kms $200 AUD Fix.
Carby was re-jetted and rebuilt at 197,000 kms.
Found that the head was cracked at a major service (200,000kms), so motor was stripped down and fully rebuilt. A cost of $5000+
Fully rebuilt motor at a cost over $5000, Yella Terra heads, ACL flat top pistons, Crane cam, Crane roller lifter and much more make 226Kw at the wheels.
4 Speed Automatic transmission works well (TH400) with B & M Megashifter.
Stock 4 Wheel disc brakes stop the car fine with 17" Alloys with 235/45 Bridgestone Potenza tyres.
The LSD is a lot of fun! But kicks the rear end of the car out when changing gears with the foot flat!
Easily beats the new model Holden Monaro, BA Falcon GT & XR6 Turbo! This car surprises a lot of people. The Holden 308 is a great motor to play around with for great power and performance.
Wow 226Kw is a big number, but not un common for a bit of work on a 308! My brother in law has spent around $10,000 on his 308 and makes over 600hp. By the way where are you from?
In Adelaide, if you have seen my car you would know it custom painted blue pearl with the number plate: 'EVADING'
Love to see the dyno chart on the 220odd RWkw 308.
