Who's going to World Time Attack at Sydney Motorsport Park this weekend? I can't wait to see what 600kW and RWD looks like! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hats off to you mate, through thick and thin you stuck with the VL for your circuit duties. I envy you, you have built yourself one hell of a race car. Congrats and looking forward to see how she goes.

Cheers guys, thats my handy work in the Street Commodores studio with an iphone, I have been told many times it looks R/C, lol. Car went sh1t though unfortunately, gear box came out 3 times over the 3 days, and still isnt right, no fault of Mr Transmissions, Dave went above and beyond to help out on the phone, lets just leave it as a supplier issue for the moment. Then snapped a tailshaft, which is really annoying as the car is mechanically the same as last year, everything was rebuilt and freshened up too. Anyway, not my year this year. Plenty of pics floating around of it though.

We are entered into the Shannons Snowy Mountains 1000 in a couple of weeks, the tail shaft was repaired free of charge from a ripping company in W.A http://www.finaldrive.com.au/ Could not recommend Phil highly enough, the tail shaft broke in 5th gear, I rang Phil, I sent it back, he repaired it for free and paid for the postage back to me, all done within a week. So F***ing rare that people go to the effort of backing their claims these days. The diff is getting a ratio change, this is mainly because the so called 1000hp gear box I bought, isnt quite rated to 1000hp in all 5 forward gears, so we have to only use 4 gears, its unfortunate, but hopefully being resolved shortly. Certainly looking to break 300kph, and go under 19 seconds. ---------- Post added 16-09-12 at 17:12 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by trackbt1 [View Post] times at wta?
