its fricken cold

Western Sydney Raceway and Willowbank in QLD have the Nitro Champ Race meets and assorted season events, my Dad and I have frequently seen mid to low 4 second passes there from the few top fuelers we have in Aus. Doorslammers are frequenting high fives now too, they’re awesome to watch :D

I highly recommend going, especially western sydney as…[Read more]

WTH???

I sold my 2004 VZ sv6 with 270,000 kays on it, and other than a tailshaft donut and a clutch, nothing ever needed replacing?? It was bulletproof as long as you serviced it regularly.

I reckon I went through one set of spark plugs, and that was about it… even the manual gearbox was good, interior was looked after, and the seals etc…[Read more]

I looked at the list of cars above and I realised your problem…

WTF school did you send your kid to!?!?

do most people here understand the relationship between HP and torque?

torque x RPM at given moment = HP (in very relative terms)

Torque at low RPM will give you lots of low down power and driveability, torque at high RPM will give you an awesome peak dyno figure.

It was explained to me like this: (this doesn’t take into account drivetrain and…[Read more]

melbourne weather sucks

My Roof lining is sagging…. And I really have no time to fix it with the birth of my son any day now, and knock sensors needing replacing more urgently :S

What block are you using?

who cares if they’re replicas, they’ll still look awesome :D just don’t go too wide on the front or you’ll ruin it (IMO)

AGREED ^

There’s a lot more character in a “raw” old car than in a new one. My 2014 holden cruze is way more civilized, comfortable, quiet, economical, and refined as the 02 monaro (and that’s only 12 yrs difference…). It craps all over the old girl in build quality and comfort.

But nobody cares about the guy who tamed his pet maltese puppy.…[Read more]

those guys are insane, one mistake and they’ll be hosing what’s left of them off someone’s front facade

Very clean cut, engine bay looks mad

You’ve done this properly

WORK MEISTERS

I love those wheels DO IT DO IT DO IT

Just too much…

And I can’t see it skyrocketing in value anytime soon. Yes it is a one off, but you could replicate it too easily yourself, and so many people have supercharged their VEs (using walkinshaw branded gear) that it’s not unique enough

As above, I love the wheels

but i hate the stretched tyre thing, I would have stayed with the 8.5 up front and fit some 285 rear tyres.

But it still looks awesome for what it is

I thought you only had to preload solid liters?

aren’t hydraulic roller lifters supposed to take up the slack for you? either way that sounds ok.

Cav what kind of figures did you end up with? where did you set your rpm limiter?

isnt that cordless a Milwaukee? either way that’s a fair break
