Sorry, i am **** with photos master Ok a quick rundown of this car, it is a good mate Tony's, it started out as a V6 conversion burnout car, He had already put a Vr commordore tunnel in it, After talking about wanting more power it was decided a Vl turbs was the go. So my wife, Angela built the motor Stock rebuilt Rb30 Luke 272 cam, adjustable cam wheel Na runners with JD custom plenum 550cc rx7 injectors Microtech Mtx8 Bosch 044 pump Series 4 Rx7 turbo, modified to fit a VG30 exhaust housing, with a T04 V-trim front wheel. 450x300x75 intercooler Mv autos, electronic jatco, manual valve body, shift kit and 3500rpm stall. Tony wacked the motor back in, made some new engine mounts and trans mounts. It was about this time he was talking about diffs, I just happened to have a shortened borgwarner i needed to sell, it was measure up and proved to be to short, OH well says Tony, i will just tub it , So he bought my coil overs aswell and a ladderbar kit and proceeded to do it all by himself, and has done a good job as it is his first. The diff is a Borg warner 4.11;s, 31 spline axles and full spool. He now is planning to get some 15x10's or 12's with 275's or 295's to fill up the rear quarters. The car should be done in a couple of months, the next plan is to fit a 3540 or To4Z Oh yeah, has been converted to commordore stud pattern with hopper stopper front hubs and Vx twin piston calipers and rotors cheers darren Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
