Crikey Deuce, you've been busy! heaps of cool mods. Are you bringing it out to meremere this weekend? Hoping so, be keen to catchup with you and Immoratility again if he's about.

Hey bro. Did you go race at FDD last weekend? I looked on the track website cam to see they got to run it. Weather looked pretty average tho.

Bugger, that's one of the best events in the calendar, hope it clears up. Nah, can't make it this year.

Is your car all ready for tomorrow? Track cam looks a bit damp there today, Hope the forecast is sunny for Sunday.

Great to see some more pics, and the way you've gone about it is awesome IMO, keeping it factory style but with your own subtle touches. And it sounds fantastic too. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing it again with your latest updates. Totally make me want to do a resto on my...

good effort! sorry I couldn't make it down, did you take any pics of the day?

Great looking clubby. the VX kit is pretty nice, and agresive but so too is the VT original one. I've got some HSV 18's VX era you might be interested in. i'll send you a PM.

All in favour of HSV brakes.. Aye.... All those apposed.. Neigh must be good knowing you can pull up easy even with the float on. I wouldn't mind some better anchors on mine. nice looking wagon.

nice. I wonder how your Horse is enjoying the "4 into 1 stainless extractors into catless twin 2.5in pipes to 2 small coby mufflers into 3 inch and read straight thru muffler" sound track in the horse caravan. :)

When was that event towcar? and what times are you running? I'm surprised the first reply to your thread was 2 years after the OP tho.

did you need me to pick anything up from Immortality? send me a text if you do.

excellent! It sounds like you can take passengers too. not ideal for ET or PB's but might be a bit of fun all the same! tyres are. MT ET street 2's 245/40 R18 on a 18x8" VX era rim, should fit.

hahaha, yep... thats pretty much what i was thinking. are you bringing the car out to that? if i can fit them in (which might be a struggle) i'll try bringing my old 18" MT's if you want to try. theres not much life left in them.

bet your keen to get that in and go testing again. :)

Are the pulleys properly aligned since your rebuild? the fan looks pretty close.. it wouldn't be clipping it.. would it? get someone to rev it while you watch whats going on.

Hey Deuce, are you making any changes before the drags on sunday? or have you got it sorted? hopefully the prepped track will help your launch and ET

here ya go Deuce. some pics from sunday.

if its just clicking a couple of times when it reaches top/bottom. try spraying some CRC/WD40 or other lube on the aerial when its up. and give a wipe with a rag. like what was said above, it may have a bend in the mast. or it may just be dry and dirty. failing that might be time to replace it...

Well done Deuce on your new PB! your burnout and launches sounded harder on your last 2 runs... or maybe that was just cos the dump pipe was on then. they do VHT the fathers day event, i'm not sure if is done in the morning, but they've traditionally sprayed it at the lunch break....so you might...

Re: single spinner... have you tried replacing the diff gear oil? that was enough to fix my Calais when it started one wheeling. I don't know if it had ever been changed prior to that. after fresh oil.. it lit up both wheels like it should :-) good that your doughnut is ok, they're pretty...

cool. did you go for the black ones? that's a great diff upgrade for a dailey A4 IMO. when I had a 3.46 on mine it was far more spritely off the lights, without high open road revs or destroying fuel econ. awesome fun.

I've got those fitted on mine. the chrome ones, to match the grille. one of the Calais pics in my profile shows them. I agree, the black ones would probably suit your dark green better. vaguely recall when i first installed them thinking they were a bit brighter. (can't remember the old ones...

downside?? self elected sober driver = Booze cruise! :beer chug:

haha, Nice one Pete! :spot on: good skids. I love how your VX sounds with the exhaust open! and happy birthday to you and your Bro.

Cheers Deuce, was good catching up on Saturday. well done on your 1st place. Bummer to hear about the 355 leak, hope is not a major and you get it sorted before your wedding. and to race race it in june!

yep, i'll be there. you'll need to bring the car to haul your big #1 trophy home :)

No worries.. I'm stuck at work now anyway, so will probably give it a miss too. winter drags start in june, I can wait till then. Are you going to the awards dinner on Saturday?

Hey Deuce, is the VR ready to do skids, or are you still running it in? theres grudge/test n tune on tomorrow night (Wednesday) if your keen. if weather's ok I'm planning to head down.

haha, what'd you tell her? if you've got kids, could be a mothers day gift. I take it the install is completed, you got any pics? and any plans for a pulley swap and more boost? i don't wanna hijack immortality's thread, but I haven't been looking at them during the run, I check some stuff...

Nice Calais! my favourite model. haha looks tidy, loving all the interior goodies. Re Gauge. base of A pillar is just right for one (actually 2), and if mounted low and custom, is a good spot to read them without obscuring any external visibility. and doesn't look all ricer. I've got a...

duellies eh, nice. i think there's something wrong with the teaser.... where's the smoke? looking good :spot on:

Awesome Deuce. :spot on: how long since you last drove it? drop me a PM when your hitting the track next, i'd be keen to check it out.

just start it up again and take a shorter clip. :) perhaps a little burnout for the captive audience... well done too. you must be stoked to have it back together and running again. awesome achievement doing it all yourself. can't wait to see it. bet it sounds awesome!

that's many things!.. should be able to fire it up tonight! :)

What's left to get it in the car and running? Or is it just time? you racing tomorrow?

+1 for gun metal grey.:thumbsup: and if it matches your reapers, then even better, that makes the subtle link :)

The red pin stripe might look good. Be a bit different. And match the red side stripe. I'd keep it simple and match another colour from the car.... But you could always pull a colour or detail from your bike!? Tie those together. More reapers :) or was that skulls?

Hows the engine swap going Deuce? have you made anymore progress. Didn't see you at the last comp round, did all the screaming eagles decide to give it a miss?

Mean!. haha, like fast much? :)

yeah, is a nice looking bike.. looks like a well stocked shed.. :yeah: what other goodies you got lurking in there? you had anymore done on the VX? must be due to get your licence back soon.
