Formula Tech
Dyno Centre | 21st
December
2007
To tune or not to tune ....... that is the question!
Well ...... tune it is. I had the pleasure of Meeting
Brett Stewart from Formula Tech Dyno Centre today, who pulled out
his magic wand (laptop) and weaved some magic on my VZ
Clubby. I was amazed how bad my car used to run until it
was tuned properly. Not only more power, but how it gets
there impressed me the most. Especially in the mid range
the engine pulls harder and does it much smoother than
before. With a
Kostecki cold air system
and Genie Cat back exhaust as the only modifications,
Brett's tune squeezed out 361rwhp. Not bad for a stock
LS2!! I will keep you posted about the improvement on
fuel economy once I have gone through a couple of tanks
of BP Ultimate 98. If the expected fuel economy does
happen it will be a very tidy bonus.
Having a look around the stable of cars Brett has,
you have to be impressed. He builds, tunes and drives
them himself. Not only a Jack of all trades but a master
of them as well. He is off on a much earned holiday for
most of January but if your looking for
modifications or tuning, make sure you tell him I sent
you so I can get some brownie points. The Clubby will be
going back for some extractors and high flow cats early
next year to enhance the performance and exhaust note.
We will report back on the progress.

Eclipse
Release Supercat Navigation | 1st
November
2007
It is here!! The Eclipse AVN2210p CD/Tuner/Navigation
unit has arrived. This is the little brother to the
AVN6000. This is for those who didn't need a DVD player
in the front of the car, but did want a CD/Tuner with
MP3 and Navigation. This is the unit for you plus it has
a built in bluetooth phone kit. For those who have a USB
thumbdrive you can plug this in via the front USB port
also. But wait ..... there's more .... as you can see
from the image above the Navigation is a special unit
made by by TomTom that docks into the headunit. This is
then used as an aditional display for the CD and radio
as well as the Navigation. You can simply unclip the
TomTom unit and use it as a personal Navi unit with its
own built in battery or in another car with the mounting
kit and extra power supply. The units Navigation
performance is enhanced by the extra GPS antenna and
connection to the speed sense wire on the car for
greater accuracy. The turn by turn instructions also
come from the front right speaker not to interrupt the
audio to the passengers while still giving clear
instructions to the driver. With a 200watt built in
amplifier, three pairs of 5 volt RCA pre amp outputs and
a host of other features, this has got to be on the
shopping list for most people with a fetish for hi-tech
toys.
With a price tag of only $1399 this is the hit model for
Eclipse this season.
As with the AVN6000, anyone buying one this month will
also have a choice of a GolfingWA series2 DVD or
FishingWA DVD as a bonus gift. You will also go in the
running to win tickets to the Perth Wildcats home games.
What are you waiting for ..... secure your unit now ...

and about.
And wouldn't you know it .... guess what will take pride
of place in the dash of my new VZ Clubsport.

Reversing Cameras Save Lives | 11th March
2007
Do you have a Toyota Landcruiser, Prado, Tarago or Camry
with the Navigation monitor in the dash? Then we can
help you with the REVERSING CAMERA from Eclipse. It
plugs straight into the factory screen in the dash and
connects to the reverse light wire. So when you select
reverse, the camera displays on the in dash screen
automatically. No need for reverse sensors when you can
actually see what you are doing. Its especially good
when reversing up to a trailer or boat. YOU can see when
to stop with out getting out of the car or asking for
help from the neighbour. The camera is only $399 and can
be installed for around $150 depending on the vehicle.
If you drive a Ford BA/BF Falcon or a Ford Territory
with a colour screen, we now have the solution for you
also. If you have installed an Alpine, Clarion or
Eclipse aftermarket DVD Screen then you are also able to
install a reverse camera to these units. Once you have
used a reverse camera you will wonder how you ever
reversed without one. Our thoughts are with those who
have lost a child through a driveway accident. There
have been far too many of these accidents over the last
year or so and we all hope this will stop with the
addition of these must have safety devices. For more

JHP Vehicle Enhancements|
13th July 2006
As some of you may already
know, I have upgraded the VYII 285KW Clubsport for the VZ
297KW Clubsport. And what a weapon it is. When you look
at it on paper the specs show only 12 kw of power
increase and 20nm of torque which really is nothing to
get excited over. Then you plonk your butt in the seat,
hit the go fat pedal and hang on. Whooly dooly the LS2
is a whole new animal. It feels like double the
horsepower. Truly amazing.
The only things I added was the rip shifter and R8 rims
from JHP and the Cat back exhaust from Genie. The
exhaust sounds great and added a extra few kilowatts as
a bonus. Currently pulling 328hp at the wheels which is
not too shabby for a stock LS2.
The only problem with phase one of the upgrade was that no one in Perth could sell me
genuine VZ Clubsport R8 rims no matter how much I was
prepared to pay. I became quite frustrated and
turned to our old friend Google and stumbled across
JHP Vehicle Enhancements in Melbourne. Not only did they
sell me the original R8 rims I was after but also the
amazing RIP shifter that I was chasing. If you own a
Commodore or Monaro of any description and are looking
for performance upgrades, get in touch with Phil and the
guys
who blew me away with their customer service and
products.
Check them out at
www.jhp.com.au and tell them Grant sent you ;o)
P.S.
I should have bought the car from
Mike Kennedy at City Motors HSV who could have helped me
with all the things that Shacks said were not possible.
Sorry Mike .... next time you have got the business. In
fact anyone who wants a HSV, you really should call Mike
Kennedy for the BEST deal at City Motors Holden!
Atomic
Spark Plugs | 13th July 2006
I know we are supposed to sell Car Stereo products but
sometimes things come along that make me sit up and take
notice.
One of these products is a new spark plug that
dramatically improves engine performance in every car we
have tried. From my V8 Clubsport to a Honda Accord and
Hyundai Accent. All these cars showed substantial
improvement in driveability, Power and fuel economy.
Drop in for a demo on how these things work. Seeing is
believing.
Alberts Car
Stereo Morley 2nd Birthday | 30th March 2006
Well
it's been two years on the 31st of March that I took

GolfingWA |
30th March 2006
As
some of you may know, I sometimes get away and take
photos for the magazine FishingWA and help crew
on the TV show. The same company makes the
GolfingWA TV show. I have been recruited to help crew on
this show, which has helped me look at some golf courses
I didn't even know existed. This season presenters are
Bob Harnett and new co-star Drew Dubberlin. If nothing else
I am picking up some great tips which has improved my
game already. I will post on here when the show is on
air so you can check out my handy work on arranging the
signs and making sure the guys look their best all the
time with my artistic lighting ;o) These guys together
with Bobs experience and Drews awesome game play will
make this the best season ever. So stay tuned and be
prepared to improve your golf game.
As a bonus, Chris Mason from the Altone Golf Course has
given me some vouchers to give away to customers. All
you have to do is take your receipt from Alberts Car
Stereo Morley and the voucher and get 9 holes for only
$8.00.
Radar
Detectors | 12th March 2006
Bel
Radar detectors are still available and are legal to use
in Western Australia. Especially now with the 50kmh
limit, so if you intend to keep your licence, and from
time to time tend to accidentally sneak over the limit,
then you will need one of these.
The image of the radar detector is changing and is now
referred to as a safety warning device. It will now pick
up some work crews, Ambulances and other emergency
vehicles. I was recently driving down Benara Road past
the Lockridge high School and the detector went off
saying "Stationary Emergency Vehicle Ahead" and sure
enough over the hill about 800 meters away was a tow
truck and Ambulance at the scene of an accident. Having
advanced warning of road works and accidents has to be a
good thing.
Get your radar detector NOW while the Police blitz is on
and protect your drivers licence.
Don't forget ... drive safe and enjoy the ride. **NEW** Bel XRSTi radar detectors are now available. New looks
and better range on Ka and Laser. If you live in the
Eastern States of Australia where they don't like you
have these safety devices and have radar detector
detectors, we have an answer for you too. The NEW Bel
XRSTi radar detector is totally undetectable. It also
has the most features and best detection range on the
market. Normally $1099 now only
$949.
Call or email today for
details.
In Car
Navigation | 12th March 2006
The latest addition to the list
of MUST HAVE gadgets in my car is the Garmin navigation
system. I never thought I would use navigation in the
car but boy was I wrong. The Garmin takes only seconds
to install and is just as easy to use. Just plug it into
the cigarette lighter and stick it on the windscreen and
that's it. It comes with software and a USB cable so you
can update maps via the internet. It covers all of
Australia so if you are planning an interstate trip you
can take it with you and use it in the hire car at the
other end of the trip. You can even buy maps for most
countries if travelling overseas. With some Navigation
systems costing around $5000 installed in the car, the
Garmin is a must have for those who need a little help
reading a street directory and are are on a budget. Drop
in for a demo and you will be impressed with just how
easy In-Car Navigation can be.
Slime| 25th September 2005
A serious safety issue is changing
a flat tyre on the side of the road. Drop in and ask
about how the Slime Smart Spare can save you time and
maybe your life. Can you really be bothered emptying
your boot, getting out the spare, jacking up the car and
have the risk of getting hit by a passing car. Or would
you rather pop out the valve, pour in the slime and sit
in the car while the compressor pumps the tyre back up
for you. Think about the trailer left on the side of the
road or even your parents trying to do the tricky
manoeuvre. At only $79 this should be part of your cars
first aid kit. More details at
http://www.slime.com
Music Revue| 25th September 2005

way sticker on the front of your car. Then you have to
check out this album from The Robertson Brothers. You
can get more info at
http://www.robertsonbrothers.com.au

an Aussie band) and buy the "HERE" CD today. **NEW
NEWS** The boys have just released some new music so
keep your eyes out at the record store. News at their
website now. These guys have become my daughters and my
favourite band.
Cruises
| 25th September 2005
Cruises have become a very popular pastime for many
clubs and groups these days. Its a great way to get
together and show off you car and share information with
like minded people. The only problem can be
communication with a group on the move, having to stop
to pass the word if there is a change of plans.
You can always phone the 50 to 100 people but that is
not really an option. What the preferred option would be
is to get either a fixed or hand held UHF radio. That
way you can chat to the group without running up massive
bills on the mobile. Call in to Alberts Morley today to
check out the range of UHF communications.
