Its good to see the final product being used as per expectations.
I’m sure you’ll have plenty fun with this car for a long time.
Its one thing to build a track car but a dirt car is so much more fun, Enjoy.

What about using a real dark strip of window tint across the top on the inside.
At least then you’ll still be able to see through it just.

Surfwagon started the topic Lighter front rotors and wheels. in the forum Brakes 9 years, 3 months ago
I recently fitted some DBA 5000 2 piece discs to the Senator and was pleasantly surprised at the weight difference.
My Holmart AP replicas weighed in at 11.5kg while the DBA’s only 9.2kg, an unsprung weight saving of 2.3kg.
So while I was in the mood I weighed my 8″& 9″x 18″ BBS RE’s with 235 & 275 tyres against my 8″x18″ spare (VY R8 wheel with…[Read more] -

Surfwagon replied to the topic Wavetrac M80 diff centre. in the forum Driveline 9 years, 3 months ago
I agree but I’ve been stuck on wet frosty grass and could not get any where (old holden LSD) and so was my smart alec mate in his old VZ ute with true trac who was laughing at me going nowhere before he tried.
We both had to get pulled across the grass by the land owners tractor.
My mate now has a new VF Clubby W507 and is seriously considering…[Read more] -
Surfwagon replied to the topic Wavetrac M80 diff centre. in the forum Driveline 9 years, 3 months ago
The wavetrac is about $400 dearer than the similar cased Harrop true trac so a lot dearer than the cast Eaton version.
But it was how it puts its ower down is what I wanted most.
Yes at the drags in the dry there would probably be no difference in how the wavtrac and truetracs power down.
The main difference is in slippery situautions like mud…[Read more]

Drive in drive out, Wavetrac supplied and fitted with a complete overhaul new bearings etc and lapping of original 3.46 gears was $2900.
I’ve already tried 3.73 gears previously for about a year but as my cam/head combo is more about low to mid power I found the 3.73 too short for every day driving plus highway use.

Difference between true trac and wavetrac or warranty.
Firstly Wavetrac warranty is lifetime even if street legal racing, drag or circuit, providing right oil is in diff.
As for the difference better off reading this:

I recently fitted a Wavetrac http://www.wavetrac.net/index.htm diff centre and I’m rapped with my choice.
Was originally going to fit a Harrop true trac but decided on the wavetrac after reading many forum reviews especially overseas.
I found a wet road yesterday and it just sat on the rear and jumped off the line.

Hi Jaba
Car still looking good like always.
Ive just ordered a wavetrac centre for my diff, better than True trac in wet and on muddy tracks I sometimes use, so will let you know how it goes.
BTW don’t forget there are 2 different true tracs the lower strength Eaton and the high strength Harrop versions
