Been a long while. But I installed this second fuel tank the other day. will be running 98 out of the stock tank and E85 out of this new one. Running duel fuel, via the haltek ECU. I've pretty much got everything now to set it up. I've got the new fuel line plumbing to get to the...

would be cheaper to put an LS1 auto and decent diff in it to get into 12's or use this calculator to see how much horsies you need out of it compared to the weight etc. https://robrobinette.com/et.htm

Yeah I've got the 235/60/15's etc Love them.. look a bit weird tho :) I drive around with 25 PSI in them. very comfy ride and very grippy, even in the wet.. I don't do many miles in the car, so they still look like new. I dropped the tyre pressures last time I was at Archy doing street drags...

LOL Yeah, I saw the same video, which got me thinking about E10 If I'm running duel fuel.. might as well get it tuned on E10 over 98 and save sum bucks.

so bit of an update. I've been ordering parts and saving to get them all fitted. Life gets in the way sometimes, so the build has been extended way further down the track than I originally anticipated. So thinking of doing a 1/2 job to get me back on the road so I can race it again. I'm...

yeah I guess I'll just bash away at it, where it's scrubbing etc. and see how we go.. best to stick to the 235/245 classes anyways LOL deffinetely having one before the rear muffler for sure.. and it's on a switch anyways, so can open it at any time. but want to keep it quiet around where I...

thanks mate, much appreciated. yeah that's what I thought, bummer, and with NSW. it's a roady every 12 months.. Plus my ol mum has had to sell her place. So might try to keep it as standard looking as possible for now. Hey I saw on your ute thread, some adjustable rear springs.. that fit in...

we basically discussed how it would work with the haltech and the rotary dial etc.. no probs..

Also wanted to run this idea by you guys. You know about those exhaust cutouts Like these I'd like to use 3 of them. 1. on the exhaust, in front of the rear muffler, ideally I'd like a big muffler on it to keep it quiet on the street. and on the rotary dial on the dash, have street set...

so I just ordered two of these gates To go along with the Haltech gear I'll be ordering soon enough. This is what Baz my tuner has recommended Haltech 2500 with premium wire in kit Haltech iC-7 Colour Display Dash Size: 7in Flex Fuel Composition Sensor 6 X coils co2 bottle and reg...

Eventually I'll need to tub it, but wanted to keep it factory looking as much as possible.. as I understand it, tubs are illegal in Qld? Love to see a photo of your tubs mate Going to get mine engineered with the turbos. Guess I can ask then what's legal and not etc.

Dammit Phil, you could of told me this last week hahaha

I've got 3.9's in mine. What I learned is to use really tall side walled tyres. I'm running mitchelin 235/55R/17 on the rear and man they are grippy. Even in the wet they've got grip with 305 rwhp. Love it on the street etc.. Those exact tyres at the 1/8 mile street drags at Lakeside, I...

Speaking of the VS wagon that's my daily now. I decided to put this new head unit in it. Lucky for me, some guy on youtube made a tutorial , how to remove a radio from a VS Man it was extremely helpful, probly saved me hours figuring it all out. So since I was upgrading the head...

So bit of an update on the build that's going to take forever LOL. Been waiting on prices from Haltech on the different wastegates to use. the Co2 or Electronic ones. (Actually waiting on prices from my Tuner, who's been travelling east cost of AU tuning etc and now on Holidays, he's talking to...

These just arrived yesterday. I think I'll do an unboxing video LOL

Thanks guys, you are the best. Gives me lots to do.

So had to go pick up the wagon today Yesterday I took it for a run down to see my mum. On the way back on the highway in the very slow traffic, it started to overheat. when the traffic free'd up, temp went down. I had to turn off the highway to get out of that traffic to try to cool it...

Well as it turns out, my blower is making screeching noises , like dry bearing sounds when I start it. The oil is ok. So this hurries up my new build. Ordering the turbos now. Waiting to hear back from baz on the gates use, then will be ordering them. So it's really time to sell my turbo...

Ordering these babies soon. Talking to Baz (Tuner) about wastegates, either C02 or these new electric ones, to work with the Haltech 2500T that will be running it all. Plus there'll be a rotary dial on the dash, with numbers 1 to 12. We can set a tune for each of those 12 settings. 1...

I got this new video camera to get great footage at roll racing. it's pretty dark there, so thought I'd do a night time low light test.

thanks mate. I saw one of the godzilla's videos from roll racing and it did weird stuff like this that I've never seen before, on youtube they told me it was the new gopro camera.. So started researching.. this one is way better in low light, like at roll racing.. So I got this one and it's...

I put this video up on Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/p/CdZ0e9ZAtcg/

Sure does, there's so much quality music out there you can use for free.. just in return for acknowledgement in the description. It really makes them pop.

I just bought a new Insta One 360 X2 Video camera. To hopefully get great footage while out racing. Shoots in 5k really really simple to operate. just basically turn it on. But editing is a bit of a skill to learn that's for sure. Here's my first test, in the new wagon we bought...

also made a cool 3d video of the Turbo ute engine bay https://storage.polycam.io/captures/af9d98c3-4e26-4c8e-9531-ecd5bf777f57/polycam.mp4?t=1652069864576 using a free app called. Polycam would be great for an engine on a stand etc.

So found this bargin grabbed it for an absolute bargin + 3 months rego.. completely stock. I'd get 500 for the rims alone. it drives really nicely. probably going to restore it back to original. It's got AC, even the window washers work. needs some work, but it's very comfy to drive etc.

does anyone know if these are just bolt on? I know the front is, but the rear is what I'm wondering about? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/363361590442

So I'm organising with Barry (tuner) from Brushworks slick Sixes. which parts to get to start building the twin turbo so far we've agreed on 2 these C02 Wastegates. Running C02 pressurised wastegates, combined with the Haltech ECU gives you unlimited, accuracy with boost throughout the rev...

hey mate Sorry about that, When they are up for sale, I'll do just that!! Cheers

needs a bit of a detail :) So I think I'm going to sell the Turbo ute :( To fund the twin turbo build.. that plus what I get for the top end kit, should almost cover it I think. Probly in a month or so. If anyone here interested, PM me etc. when I list it, I'll put a link here anyways..

Thanks, I get what you mean but on this engine, when they built it. they put standard headgaskets on it for the first 500 k's then car had to be taken back, heads off, cemetic (spelling) fitted. Then after X amount of K's (I forgot) heads re tensioned again. So these heads aren't coming...

That thing is a beast.. sounded so nice Tons of nice cars there. That silver LC in the video above came third on the night, which is amazing considering it's his first time out in that car to any event whatsoever.

Thanks mate!! Got the bug now.. Especially after going for a run in the 427 LC Torana.. I got the turbo ute going today.. replace the starter in it and re wired some of it. I'm thinking of selling that, and re investing whatever I get for it , into the twin turbo setup for this ute...

Here's our night at Queensland Raceway Roll Racing. As you can most likely tell, was a bit excited to be back not kid friendly.

Still working on my video but found this footage of a car called TETNUS So I threw together a quick 1 min video. I should have my video uploaded tonight.

Here's the first video. Met Troy there, his first time. He took me for a few runs in his LC.. Turned out I had enough footage to make a short video of his car. In the next video is my night roll facing including some runs in the LC.. Now I know what it feels like to go fast...

Had the best night ever last night at Brisbane Roll Racing. Met some awesome people. Actually won a few races, got to ride in this beast LC Torana. editing the videos now..

So on a kinda related note: Turns out with the price of fuel, the trade I got for my wifes car was excellent. Meaning I can get her into a Model 3 dual motor for not all that much more monthly than what we are paying now for her car. We've got kids, she does a ton of K's each week, so...
