“It’s Loud”

“what have you done to it?” followed by “how much did that cost” then “you could have bought a new car for that”

thanks for the guidance mate, appreciate it! I think i have my head around it now. Can each reply only hold so many photos or something?

Also, tried the Vx gts’s on the Vl. Very 2002 but i think i’ll run them for events like summernats or performance/easter car mania [held at winton motor raceway].

Also it does need to go down in the ass a bit haha

Please run an adjustable alternator bracket, so you dont need to run any other pulleys. I bought one from America for mine. But just sold it because I’m now going front and mid engine plates and it wouldn’t fit with that.

if your interested im removing my adjustable bracket soon to go back to full length belt for the charger if your not in a huge rush also only had it chromed recently

Cheers fellas, really appreciate the advice! I really do .

I already have one that came with the motor & alternator thats raw billet. I’m only running a small belt off the balancer for the alternator which i assume you fellas have run

Cosmetically thres nothing new since the last time i posted. But i did enter Easter Car Mania up at Winton for a heap of fun.

After what the vx put me through last year it copped alot of payback.

I drove it up and drove it back with no issues thank goodness.

Did anyone actually attend Albert Park?

It was my 15th consecuitive year of going to the f1. I love it.

Was a very bad weekend for me unfortunateky with Alsonso losing conciousness in testing and not being allowed to race and having magnussen fill in, McLaren qualifying last, losing a car on the sighting lap, and the only car left finishing last haha damn it.

 

the new honda motor just isnt up to spec. but, can’t expect much for its first season!
