Bummer about the rim. You'd be looking forward to get the steel rim off and back to alloy. Nice ride. What % are the tins?
**** can happen. My bad.
Don't want to upset the Site admin or anything. Maybe I should run alcohol! lol Over here my re-shelled VX might have started out as a "Exec" but...
I never said you couldn't get a good sound with Catalytic converters in now did I. My point was, a pipe with no obstruction in it sounds and flows...
Last I heard, they don't run cats in top fuel dragsters or funny cars. :) A lot of people believe when you put something in the flow of an...
In NZ our vehicle emissions control aren't as hard as yours in Auzzy. We just run straight pipes, no Cats needed here. Sounds way better. ;)
To legally run the LS2 motor in my VX it had to go through a NZ certification process, same as when I upgraded the brakes. Driveshaft hoops had to...
The rules over here in NZ are, if at least 60% of the old vehicle is in an identical shell of the same vehicle (which it is as there's no...
Cool thread! Do you have to run cats in Aussy? (excuse my ignorance)
Finally the Clubby is in my garage. :) I still has a list of things to do: -Inner guard inserts -Boot area to finish -Bonnet insulation install...
Not a good idea. :)
For legal reasons I can't mention the names of the other shops I've been to so I'll pm you instead. This place isn't for naming and shaming. But...
I do love the sound of a V8 over a straight or V6. But those straight 6's? They can get some insane power from them.
I was waiting for someone to point that bit out. Good eye! Yea that was at one of the shops I won't go back too. 400KWS plate isn't at the tread....
lol Dan knows what he's doing. ;)
Second shot is on the cutoffs. haha
Will do. There are other videos of it on the dyno on my youtube page: This one a couple of years ago. http://youtu.be/O6X2Auy1fYo This one...
Hey cheers. It'll be going back on the dyno at Jonathan shop (Harman Brothers Racing, 2/43 Garlands Road, Woolston) next month so I'll let you...
For those interested in the chassis kit. Someone asked what was the weight of it. I've just been told is 22kg. So it isn't lite but I believe it's...

Final buff going down tonight. Check out Matt's concentration on the bonnet! Both Matt and Craig are doing a sick job. Their attention to detail...
I recon. I was paid out 20k through insurance. Brought back the wreck for 5k. That put 15k in the bank for the rebuild. So it's all good.
Hasn't been to bad. Because I already had good running gear from the old one, the whole build owes me just over 12k to date. $6000 Paint and...
Another step closer. Still the final buff to do, decals, lowering and groom. But I'm pleased how it's looking. The boys at G Milne Collision...
The new 19's look better than the last wheels I think. Just needs lowing from this height before I'm happy. [IMG]
I hear ya. And thanks. I've used the skid pad for a number of years now. I don't really see it as a challenge, more just for fun because we can....
Thanks! In it's current form it feels pretty average to be fair. It sits too high but a few things left to do on it yet. The bonnet, rear spoiler,...
I had the kit installed for around 2 years. My personal experience with it was positive. Especially cornering and off the line. I felt that the...
Not sure but I'll post up the specs later. I'd guess around 30kg all up.
It was on Adams Rd. Between Halkett Rd and Old West Coast Rd. The skid marks are still there.
Some of you have expressed interest in the chassis strengthening kit I had installed in my Clubby. I'm certain that it helped save our lives. So...
I understand. Either does my partner or my closest friends. ;) At the end of the day. This build thread is here just to show the progress of the...
Cheers. I do respect your thoughts all the same... We can only live and learn. I'm rooting for Holden this weekend. Can't wait for the racing to...
Kiddo. This is where the impact was. You'll see the sideways skid makes up to the new lampost we snapped before we landed on our lid.. This isn't...
Fair call. I respect your thoughts mate. Fact is, I lost control on a undulating road 5k away from bros skid pad. Killed my much loved 6 year old...
I'm not ashamed to admit it. As soon as all the running gear was in, brakes and wheel alignment done? I thought, bro, can I use your side pad...
It is Woods. I just shelled out $400NZ for original decals today. :( But it had to be done. I want it looking the same as it was before I stacked.
My half effort of a skid at my bros skid pad last weekend. http://youtu.be/zm-vwxkH_Ds
