holy whack nice car, good work!

Thanks! A few interior shots and other shots. It's still pretty standard looks-wise, but thats not necessarily a bad thing I think. Important thing for me is that it is clean & tidy. (I like my red torque convertor - I know you can't see it now, but I still know it's all red and shiny )

nice vr mate....im digging the engine mods must go pretty hard hey actually the car looks absolutely schmick in general....nice work love to see more :thumbsup:

Sweet ride mate, im liking this build :thumbsup:

Any plans for turbo? or supercharger? trans cooling?

thats pretty damn sweet, bit of a sleeper as its not too "loud", just simple aesthetics like the rims.
one question, whats the deal on your dyno graph at just after 130k's? where it drops for a bit then starts ramping up again.

amazing car! well done!

Very nice engine work, looks great too.

That was the 3rd or 4th run on the dyno as the first few they didn't get the ramp right and it was going right off the screen (I guess they thought it was stock). Anyway, by then it was getting pretty warm and we saw it misfire on the last run so I guess that was what is showing on the graph. Should get it done again sometime and see what it reads when it isn't so hot.

I bought the car about 5 years ago from a workmate, completely stock standard right down to the daggy pinstriping, rooted suspension and hubcaps. It has full history and log books and had been serviced pretty religiously and looked after so it was a good clean car to work with. Interior is pretty much immaculate with only the odd mark, which is to be expected in a car of it's age I guess.

planning to leave it n/a at this stage. It has a big trans cooler mounted just behind the bumper which we put on when we did the trans, also have a power steering cooler mounted at the front too!
