My VX Clubby rebuild

"waspies" ? Sorry don't follow (been a long day).

Cheers. It's been busy. How about yourself?

No post coz it's pretty much finished now. Well, I was thinking of LS3 heads (the cam profile was made to suit them) and maybe a stroker kit. But I got to save my pennies first.
Check out what a good mates throwing on his stroked LS2. I was thinking....hmmmm. That's could be a go! haha

 

duh.

Still only just over 400 horses at the wheels.
To stay n/a and reach that 500 mark? Seems like a big jump, but I'll get there one day.

I'm a slave to n/a. I just love non turbo/supercharge engines. It's a sickness. haha

 

I'm copying other good ideas I see or learn. So I'm good with that mate.
It'll be like, by the time I get 500hp at the tread everyone else will be, "pfffft, is that all? 750hp at the tread is the norm now".

 

It's a sickness I tell ya. Mates that know I'm after the waspies say, "turb it Pete", or "supercharge it Pete!" I'm like, nah. Then they look at me strangely. haha
It's simple. I prefer the sound of a sick cam to anything else.

I'll never forget the first time I took my young son (at the time) for a ride in the VX with the first lumpy cam I had it in. We were at the lights waiting. He goes, "Dad, is the car meant to be shaking around like this?" I smiled and said, "yes son, that completely normal for this engine boy".

 

I'm sure there's plenty of rides that cruz the streets turbo'd or charged that would disagree mate. It's just a personal thing.

My twin brother and I have our 50th party next month. I've saved up some rubber to incinerate on the night. Really looking forward to this one. I'll throw up a link here to some footage. I'm trying to talk bro into getting his VZ R8 Maloo on his skid pad. But he's a bit scared of breaking ****. haha

 

Cheers mate.
It kicks off on the 24th of May.

 

It's getting closer to me n bros 50th. (next weekend) Really looking forward to it but not just for the skids.
Thought I'd upload this (wanky) pic of both my VX's. I know this is Just Commodores but hopefully no one will mind this picture.
I love my Toyota VX 80 Series Landcruiser.



I met a dude tonight with a mint as red VX Clubsport off this forum. He recognized my Clubby. It was good to meet you mate! If you're reading this?
I know you said that you're getting a tune done on your ride pretty soon. I'd like to catch you before you do if that's cool. Gimme a txt 021-100-1408.
Cheers!

 

Thanks mate. Hope to be uploading a couple of pix n vids here this time next week. But then I'll be 50. Man how time flies.

 

A before and after shot of bro's pad after the night of the 50th.
