Oh an BTW in case you were wondering, I want an 11 and I will be happy. I don't care if its an 11.99. An 11 is an 11. Once its done with a 5 speed its done. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah Ollie I can't wait to get my sh1tter onto QR and out to the hillclimb. I'm fizzin for it!! And drift meets are a must providing my LSD doesn't turn into swarf. lol Jay I'm not going for 1/4 mile times. My objective is and has always been to get boost as early as possible while maintaining a tough top end. its a street car and thats the way I like it. Its the reason i did: Smallexhaust housing on the GT Standard inlet (debateable) 2.5" piping Boost friendly camshafts and cam timing 3 litre bottom end Lots of sound proofing to make the car heavier haha Antilag... uum maybe not

Meh...Vl's. Mine broke down for the first time bout 2 months ago with the CAS sh*t itself, apart from that its a daily driver to the station or into Fortitude Valley from Mon-Fri and has been for about 2.5 years now. The EH has been my main focus so the Calais will be sold soon and forgotton. Another CT cruise would be good though I guess...maybe...perhaps

Is Neno still with us ? Grant, Scooter, Ollie, Luke, Dayle ? Azza, Ryan...that Anarchy dude... where the **** is everybody, I miss the old days where we didn't have 50 dorks with **** box non turbo's at a cruise. No offence to anybody... And these bloody north qld'ers...they're taking over. I say pull your fingers outta your asses poofters, there's gotta be a cruise during winter !! Mine will be back up and running (for how long who knows... ) as of next weekend I'm quite confident...i.e 23/04...Just had the diff done. So where are you all at...? J I have a nice n/a (look 4 pictures in next 4 weeks ) currently starting a ground up rb30et by the end of the year i have no doubt i will be one of the fastest daily driven vl,s in SE Queensland.

yeh.. im not really expecting much from mine.. stock plenum, stock exhaust, standard throttle body, small truck core, standard fuel pump and injectors and a chipped ecu.. i've mad 210 at the wheels so far.. so im doin pretty well.. its so hard to keep it in a straight line aswell.. has done 13.44 at willowbank.. so next time out now that i've done a cold air induction, flat 13's are on the cards.. i still cant get over how quick it is tho.. for such little mods.. only increased boost to 9.5psi aswell..

thats 210 horsepower...?? Are you kidding ? That's crazy power for those mods man. I've just got a reading of 182rwhp at 15psi... usual mods...I'm really happy with it. AND it's daily driven, beat that **** YEAH nigga Everyone at willowbank was staring at me when I finished my 14.6@91mph run... Jealousy's a bitch. Even fullboost put me on their site. YEAH !! you've got some stiff competition if you want to be the fastest daily in s.e QLD... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
