I've had it for nearly 15 months now. Should get entered into Guinness book of records for that effort. There are few things that still need to be done/fitted and il sort them out late nov.

TheChad · 22-10-12, 11:54

The body is in such good condition. For a countryish car I remember looking underneath it and being amazed. Can't wait to see this in top gear

leb vlt · 22-10-12, 13:13

Really needs a set of 3.45s as it tops out to quick with the 3.9s, still to hook up tbrake button, nitrous, few gauges and jut a general tidy up and a lil more dyno time but for now it's fine and I just wanted it back. Will get it all sorted within next cpl months.

VLWAGONIT · 22-10-12, 13:52

Sounds good man.

When will it be hitting the strip?

leb vlt · 22-10-12, 14:16

Hopefully later in the season, no point racing it with the 3.9s as itl be outa puff by 3/4 track.

VLWAGONIT · 22-10-12, 14:22

fair enough. just throw a single legger drum brake special in it - should handle the transbrake no worries

grunter01 · 22-10-12, 14:27

no point racing with the 3.9's? their good enough for a low nine with that ratio and your box... just remember that your car still has the same ratio top gear as a 3 speed its still 1:1 in top gear. How fast are you expecting it to go anyways?

No doubt its doable but do remember its only a std motor and don't have acces to better fuel over here on pump! So won't be pushing more then the 18psi it's tuned at.. Il be happy if it cracks a 10 on et streets as is but more likely an 11, just have to wait and see.
