Wow. I didn’t even know these existed??

Very interesting to read though, their warranty claims are quite impressive (though I’d love to hear a few claim examples). But on the whole, the design is very clever. I was under the impression that a TruTrac would still power both wheels even when one had zero load???

Something else I found…[Read more]

lifter noises….

from that photo it looks like pretty much everything you need will still be in good nick? Except maybe that front right rim.

Otherwise that’s a steal, look forward to seeing progress from this.

It looks like Dad is warming to the idea of buying a crate LSA for the monaro….

if i’m the luckiest guy in the world, it might be a project for C4C in november???

pics plzzzzz

This sounds really good, a massive job considering the wiring, computers and dashboard cluster etc all have to be transplanted.

I’ll be watching this one closely

Out of interest, why was the R8 written off??

those Maloo rims are worth mega bucks, I reckon they look awesome but can’t get over the price :( They look mint on the calais though, just lose the mudflaps 

Don’t worry about the late reply, at least you noticed georgie

Probably 25 years sooner than some other forum admins over at…. (insert other commodore forum here)

Your my friend, are a DOER!

I dont know of many projects that progress at this rate, and there’s a wealth of knowledge here for anyone attempting a similar project themselves.

Many thanks for sharing this with us :D

Very nice love the front grille.

Wheels and taillights i’m a little unsure of but I still wish mine had as many goodies as yours

Do you have a rwkw figure? And is it nice to drive on 20’s with coilovers?

(why didn’t I get a photo like that on my wedding day…)

what can you safely run through an aluminium block? Weren’t HPF and the like getting 1000 RWHP on an aluminium block before it broke? (correct me if i’m wrong)

Any vids of it driving yet????…. (read: any vids of skids yet??)

AGREED. Get a set of 8.5 rears and run the same 245s over them, problem solved!!

LOL I think I had to read this sentence 5 times to understand it…

Well done mate, it looks like a huge undertaking with plenty of niggles, but something you should be really proud of. I can’t imagine a professional  could do a much better job than that anyways

Then you’ve got some figures wrong… I’ve got 245s on an 8.5inch rim and they look just on flush, if not a little stretched. 245s on a 9.5 will definitely be stretched.

It looks awesome in the above pics, but realistically raising it will be your only real solution without needing some bodywork

Wait…. You mean to tell me in NZ you can legally register a rollcaged VK with a turbo LSX in it???

WTF i’m moving as of right now… Australia officially sucks in this department….

Just changed the knock sensors and oil pressure switch… Engine light still on (WTF??)

So glad to finally have it driving again at least, so I take it for a drive…

And now there’s a hole in the radiator…. Order a new radiator, go to put it in, they sent the wrong one…

LOL’d my arse off….
