Anyway the car was getting around 10 - 12L per 100km which is what my dad gets on the highway in his ls1 monaro, so i was stoked.

So which shop did you take it to?

I assume your from north Queensland?

Nothing he brought was all that special and really anyone should do so when taking a long trip with any old car. Heck, last car meet I was at the person with the broken car was the one with the LS1 swap. I think it was related to the alternator he swapped in. Stuff just happens when everything isn't new and tested out. It's not even motor related, just leak & etc. related. FWIW I make long road trips all the time without bringing much of anything. But I'm also crazy careful about scheduled maintenance.

And sweet road trip man.
