defacing the allmighty holden symbol

[The Darkness]

ok sorry no pics as i was driving but newayz this is what happened. i was on my way home driving thru town {ipswich} and on my way past the local autobarn i see this light blue ricer 180sx i think it was. but as i got closer i noticed a holden badge on the back. and sure enough one on the front too. i mean how daft can ya get lol. neway i thought i'd get the word out and if neone sees it try and grab a pic to show.

There is a mob in the US which makes conversion kits which mean you can drop straight in (and with no body or chassis mods) a Gen-III into an R34 Skyline...there are a couple of them in Australia right now with this setup.

Having recently ridden in an R34, and been quite impressed with it as a package (but not with the eventual repair costs of the super complicated engine...), I would be tempted to pick up an import which has a dead motor and box (or no motor and box), thus saving a huge amount on the price of the vehicle, and sourcing a Gen III from either an engine rebuild place or a wreckers...you'd certainly have a "different" car...tons of go, and the fine chassis dynamics of the R34...as well as being something totally unexpected by the rest of the doof-doof and blow-off-valve brigade...and if you wanted to play games, you could always stick on a free-flowing but well designed and muffled exhaust system to hide the noise, and stick a couple of discrete Holden badges on...that would have people wondering... :w00t: :yeah:
