Stop drinking the bong water and filling this thread with crap. Edit: Car looks awesome mate. Never been a fan of the RB20, but you've definately done an excellent job. Much respect for doing it all yourself. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

RB20's don't go that bad. A mate had one in a VH with an aftermarket ECU and t3/t4 turbo and it went pretty hard. I think it ran either 111 or 113mph down the strip on circuit tyres. They love to rev!!
