Amazing brother, Simply incredible. Well deserved outcome man.

<3
Thanks for being there for me bro <3

*picks jaw up off the ground* that is so ####in awesome mate nothing could even compare
Haha madd c**t fuz!

Looks absolutely insane brother! All your hard work, blood sweat & tears are paying off.

You've got something that alot of people envy man. You should be proud of yourself and Shy'a :)
Its weird, i haven’t had the car for so long it doesn’t feel like its mine anymore. Its just come back this totally different animal. Fkn love it too haha!

trumpets are too short......
Naaaw pub you haven’t seen the black ones?

its the most amazing sound listenin to velocity stacks suck in air, like an angry pitbull

Can you get anymore sex appeal out of this thing? You can. By adding trumpets and chrome!
Lol when i get a chance ill get some pics with the other trumpets, see what you think of them :)

I'd like to be alone with each of your trumpets....

Looks nice mate. More pics!!!!
*sus eyes* make sure u use protection, last thing i need is more trumpets! Price of fuel is expensive haha

Fark yes!!!! Looks awesome! Kinda looks weird with nothing on passenger side bay, air box etc so used to that cramped Vs bay look lol
What filter do u run on the trumpets? Like the socks they run on webber carbs? Gota be happy with that mate!!
Vids please
Ye besides the holes from airbox, module, cruise the actual paint is pretty good. I wouldn’t mind fillin the holes and sprayin the towers again one day.
Ill get some pics of the filters, when they are on the car it reminds me a V8 supercar bay haha, sept more shiny **** lol

Nice stealth catch can set up!!! I like the stealth hose you used as braided would take the emphasis off the trumpets!!! What is the top radiator hose as I want something similar! Does it fit on to the normal male fitting on rad and manifold?

Cheers man, i went the black braided hose to break up all shiny plus it matchs the trumpets. Wont lie, they are a c**t to use. Because they are fibre and not stainless steel they make it harder to work it. I got the radiator hose from VPW in epping. Its looks good but i had one for the bottom hose and i couldn’t get it to seal and it had pin hole leaks (brand new) VPW wouldn’t give me a refund after i threw it at the guys face.

Looks amazing!

Cheers ranga

I demand a video so i can hear her seductiveness,
Awesome setup congrats on it all coming together

Thanks pal :)

I demand a video just so I don't have to look for some porn tomorrow.

Haha my mate recorded me taking it off the trailer and reversin it into my shed. His speaker was distortin like a champ haha

####ing amazing man! those trumpets are horn !!!

Those trumpets are my dailys, damn gotta get pics of the black trumpets. Actually minux has to take some awesome pics again!

ohhh wow, just, wow

Lol thats the effect i was going for

My trumpets bring all the boys to the yard!
And they're like,
Can I have a ride?
Damn right they're more chromed than yours.
I can take you
But I'll have to charge.

You know you want it,
it makes the jc boys all hard.
Drooling over my cool car,
They lose their mind,
Ova my cam grind,
Electric water pump

Jecs! La la la la
You here him coming,
La la la la la,
JC boys screaming.

FKN LOL!!!!!!

farrk those trumpets are just... awesome

*jizz*

Al

Hahaha thanks pal

Woww, thats amazing!

Cheers fella!

love it, you've done well.. after all the hard work it has finally paid off.

You start to appreciate other peoples work after you’ve done your own. You understand the amount of bullshit they would of gone through just to do something that looks simple.

not feelin it, needs more shiney sexiness

Im’a buy a can of ‘chrome’ paint and paint ur face and shove it in my bay lol

this is the build of my car. we all have cars that we consider our baby, and for me that has always been my caprice. i didnt know this car was going to become such a part of who i am. it changed the way i look at cars. it changed the way that people look at me. guessing to many it was just another holden on the bandwagon. this car has led me to some of the greatest friendships i have today, actually all of the friendships I have today have some rooting involved with this car. i honeslty lost all hope that this car would ever make it back on the road during the build. i was having nothing but dramas. but my mates were always there helping me. All i wanted to do was to inspire people. If you can dream it, you can live it. If this car makes even just one person want to go to the shed and start working on their car then everything ive done, all the time, blood, sweat and tears is worth it.

enjoy guys

your not wrong! its amazing how something so miniscul could have taken a **** load of time

Q: how does the smaller trumpets compare to the larger ones? any difference in power? i believe the range would alter a fair bit due to the runner length change.
