    all up about $550 for everything but i got it all fitted for a bottle of wild turkey coz i know the merchanic and i got the hub adapters pritty cheap $205 delivied to my door

    yeah i would like a manual but the price to do a conversion is crazy and a t5 wont support the power ill be chaseing, an i know what some of u will say, put a t56 behinde it, well there more expensive anway a stall behind the auto will be good anyway

    lookin good man, you really need some clear side indicators though, and im not a fan of the wheels, some nice holden rims would make this car an awesome sleeper

    Hey mate im a bit curious, have you had a chance to do any more passes in it? you said 15.2, with those bolt ons, i was searching the other day, and apparently a stock VP V6, was supposed to do the 1/4 in 15.5, but i'm very skeptical on that..I'm interested in getting my car down to Eastern Creek and having a run while its completely standard and seeing if it's lost much over the years... Apparently it only costs you about 50 bucks, but i'm just a bit put off about taking a stock car there, and being laughed at..

    yeah it has it stamped on the ID plate on the back off the fire wall

    nah dude i havent been back to willowbank for a while ill probly go in a few weeks to see if it goes any better with the new box and the new exhaust system, i dought very much a v6 would do a 15.5 but u never no, and dont worry about being laughed at everyone takes there stock cars to the drags, wen i was there last people where racing mopeds, i think they did close to 30 seconds i cant remember

    Well if they line me up against a moped, them i'll be happy to do a pass yeah i seriously doubt 15.5 aswell, although i guess it's a bit different when they record those times, theres no reaction times, and they can do as many runs as they like. Good like with car mate, looks nice, i reckon you'd be pretty stoked if you run anything 14 when you go back out there:thumbsup:
