Go injected, those old factory carby 5L with 3sp autos are farken slow

NZ30ET said Na it aint the white one that's on trademe. Mind you that does sound nice, it's had a bit of work done to it that he has listed.
White one nah its the red one guy selling it is under the name UKSAM still nice but ive been there done the v8 thing thats why i went for the Turbo wagon every man and his dog can get a v8 in NZ but a factory VLT is something special

Yea it's Sam's. I've been on a few cruises with him back in the day when i had my N/A. It's a beautiful car. It's 5speed. I've been down the turbo thing now it's time for an 8 ^^. Yes i know you're thinking what an idiot haha! :P Ah well hell if i really want another one, i'll import a mint one from aus .

Me??
I will be keen to come along again this year - hopefully my car won't overheat this time!! Hopefully new 16" thermofan will prevent that this year...
And as for turbo/V8 discussions it all boils down to personal preference - was gonna turbo mine but ended up putting a worked 8 into it for various reasons - but hey i'm happy with it. Anyway at the end of the day, who are you building/buying the car for... a bunch of people on a forum or yourself - something to think about guys!
Plus if we took away all the V8's and N/A's from last years Brock cruise it wouldn't have been anywhere near as big as it was... i'm thinking instead of the 800 odd cars that turned up - it would have been more like 3... or 4 if it was turbo commy's only!
But yea... if i had the coin I would go with twin turbo V8... keeps everyone happy that way and you can just laugh at all the 'boy racers' in the jappa's!
Well.... that's all my rambling for now...
Later,
J

That one would be a good starter though... already has an injected V8 and 4sp auto... just needs a paint, FR19s, coilovers, an under bonnet blower, and your away laughing
