car is still sitting here guys, want it gone asap, price is now $6500 with the car, blown engine and full nos set up. Been quoted $1800 including labour for the engine rebuild. Add a convertor and the car will run some quick number with the current set up. Make me an offer if interested as i need it gone.

i'm moving houses soon and only room for 1 car, so the turbo stays which means the V8 needs to be sold asap. Will sell without engine for cheaper, pm me with offers.

Car hasnt been through ANY hard times. The only time it's been raced was the one or two times AlmightyVL raced it.

Thanks Kane. The car has only been to the drags once, only got 4 runs in, thats the only hard time it has had. With the engine rebuilt the driveline is basically new, with the gearbox/tailshaft only 2 years old, gearbox not even 1000kms old and new engine.

The motor was in the car for a long time before, but never raced. I've known this car for about 3-4 years

Motor was fine for 3-4 years, it was when we put in some high octane race fuel hooked the nos system it seized. The car was on the dyno being tuned for the next outing and the engine seized up, air/fuel ratio's were fine.
Found out block was clearanced to 3thou it was meant to be 5-6thou for those pistons. I can get pics of the damage. Crank and rods are fine, block doesn't need to be machined, 1 cylinder needs a sleeve, new pistons, new bearings, new oil pump, new rings and gaskets.
Car needs to go asap!
