[fuzzy2308]

that's a hell tuff tory mate

[kniever]

very nice mate how'd ya go at heathcote?

[mr5000]

Welcome, so how many cars do you own But of course can't go wrong with that VH

i only own 2 so far the stato and the slr
the vh is my girlfriends just a 202 but has extractors webber downdraught wade 242a cam some head work

im looking around for utes at the moment to haha and not sellign the stato
i also own a tandem trailer

[mr5000]

very nice mate how'd ya go at heathcote?

not the best first time i went tmprature hit 43 degrees every one on the day except for ppl running lpg just got vapour lock

second time did really well up until 3/4 track the lifters started to pump up i think it was due to crappy old valve springs not coping with the cam
i was keeping up with mates that were running low 14s till 3/4 track then it would just die in the ass ended up best of 16 flat

got new motor waiting to be build for it should be a ripper going the whole hog 355 vn heads roller rockers forged internals 10.9:1 comp solid cam
might even go with some nitro later down the the track with that motor im aiming for low 11s high 10s would be grouse
got a 9 inch at sean mullins getting converted as we speak

the car at the moment is 253 aussi 4speed and banjo
the heads and manifolds were match ported has a crow cam i forget the specs but its pretty much as lumpy as u can go before major valve train works
distributor is electronic one outa vh but has a points cap and xe rotor button so it would fit

has extractors and custom made 2 1/2 inch exhaust with balance pipe and straight through mufflers

i rebuild the gearbox myself from ground up its got new synchros new cluster gear layshaft bearings thrust washers

the diff is just a banjo that i fully rebuilt after blowing up half a dozen i thought id put some effort into it and set up pinion height back lash and all that has copped a flogging
but the new motor would just spit it out hence the 9 inch

[mr5000]

reason why the heads off the stato was at kinglake on black saturday and the head cooked it and i kept giving it shit while it was hot

[skruba]

nice little selection of beasts man.
a nice set of rims on the stato would look nice, and theres a slr5000 same colour as that in my area

[VQ-Assault]

nicest looking VQ on this site by far

[Cobez]

**** that SLR5000 is hot.

[red_vb]

nice stato but awesome torrie...mmmmmm f**kn mmm the lx slr 5000 toranas. my partner has a lx rolling shell in the garage and a lh (almost) daily drive. i would love a lx hatch but ha likes thats ever going to happen. AWESOME pure awesomeness.

[mr5000]

if ya ever gonna sell any of the torries let me no id love a second one

[mr5000]

fanailly finished gfs vh motor the lil old 20 goes pretty good still needs some tuning but the stato flat to the floor only creeps away from her not as a slow or fast pace so im pretty happy barks really good any way scored a 308 out of a vk so instead of rebuildinbg the fluffy to get torry back on road gonna stick all good shit of torry on to the 308 then once i build up a 355 ill give the motor tothe mrs to go into the vh she will be off her ps by then and we should have her car handling right aswell had to mak up some shoty accelerator cable brackets and return springs for the webber

when i pulled the old cam out last half a dozen lobes were almost flat

[jellycalais]

Nice cars mate, love the Torana

[red_vb]

bump.....yeah good move givin your girl a 308, lol lucky. some girls want a v8 under there bonnet.

[mr5000]

bit of an update i been going nuts at the rust in the torry and got another 308 for 200 bux out of a vk heads are shot cams shot but rings are good and bore is still in factory spec
so sticking all the gear from the fluffy into that and dropping that in and gotta go pick up the 9 inch soon so hopefully aim at running in the 13s this year as long as i beat my m8 ill be happy haha ha also bought a hj ute that ended up being way to rusty the mor i pulled it down











isnt rust just so much fun

[Insomniacs Dream]

Haha gotta agree mate, rust is so much fun! There isn't a thing id rather be doing than repairing bastard rust lol. All the cars are looking good man and Hot Looking torana too!

[mr5000]

yeah but i wouldnt trade my torry for any other car and for a car thats a 33 yr old car so you gotta expect rust especially with the amount of stuff they leave bare metal if you dont see it
finished honning the 308 yesterday so will be cleaning the decks and putting pistons back in today

[mr5000]

jus started to put new motor together piston is cracked any body got a spare set of virgin bore 304 or 308 pistons

[mr5000]

all the rust been chopped and new metal put in and treated think im goin for some acl hi comp pistons for new motor hoping to get to high 13s low 14s need to go pick up 9 inch and put new set of diff gears in

[vpexecutive]

love the cars mate, slr 5000 *drools*
