it certainly launches & tracks straight for something doing sub 10’s. I think it’s one of the big reasons it manages such a good ET.
You might be surprised to know it was still running a Commodore rear end setup in that run- no 4 link last time I spoke to him. One of his priorities is to keep the car reasonably street legal and driveable. Even h…[Read more]

yep a 7.9 ET
And he drove it with a trailer with all his gear behind to the Summernats a couple of years ago.
Terry dyno tuned my setup, knows his shit. I checked out his car when I was there. You’d never guess from it’s appearance what it’s capable of -

So I think I can safely assume we all love lots about our cars
Is there anything you don’t like about your car ? I’m referring to design issues from the manufacturer rather than problems like bad paint job, not enough power etc…The biggest issue I have with the VH, is the HVAC system….
Who designed it ? The old ‘H’ series Holdens had a…[Read more] -

Darren replied to the topic 3D Printed Miniature Gearbox in the forum The Pool Room 9 years, 7 months ago
yeah I love the 3D printers. I’ve also considered buying one as they have come down in price a lot over the past couple of years. But I’m going to wait a bit, it’s still a relatively new technology. The entry level printer resolution still isn’t great. Won’t be long before the entry level printers are putting out the same or better quality than…[Read more]

it appears as if it’s been well looked after during it’s life
Nice find. The EFI 5L conversion really transforms these cars -

Darren replied to the topic VL Calais 355-WAR in the forum VB – VC – VH – VK – VL 9 years, 8 months ago
very strong combo
4 bolt mains, dash 9 heads mmmmm……
Has it been on the dyno yet ?I’m hoping to get a set of COME 590 heads this year. Just depends on my bank account status. Got to build a shed first
How did you end up with a 10 bolt in a VL ?

Darren replied to the topic VR Senator with LSx454 in the forum VN – VP – VR – VS 9 years, 8 months ago
I didn’t get to see the build thread on this one at the SC forums
I’ve just finished reading through it. What an achievement. Extremely tidy restoration.And to get this engine to pass emissions is fairly ground breaking for our scene. Will be nice to know that if you are ever pulled up by the law, it’s all legit
Well done!
