suxgas - If I was building an 8 second streeter this is how Id like to think Id do it. There is nothing I would change regarding your combo, the engine specs are all top end, the paint looks awesome, love the tubs. It'll put on one hell of a show when the time comes.

Thanks buddy, Its taken 3 years to get it to this stage having other committments and financials is another story but I think this will be the year for me. Now that Jason Ghiller is apart of the project it will all go together fairly quick and should see the track soon. I'll have more pictures of the exhaust manifold over the next few days.

love your car bro,always been a massive fan for a gold calais.just flawless,good luck with running the numbers you want for satisfaction for all ya hard work

I totally agree with you, minitubbing and tubbing also falls into the saftey category with a cage and chassis work. It all helps when trying to put huge amounts of power to the ground, Its great to see small tyre cars going fast but majority of these's cars are opting for a bigger tyre with extra's. As for the street, Im happy to drive it once or twice a week and yes i agree its getting out of hand but most of the extra's (wing and chute) are removeable. I cant justify spending thousands on a car that can only be driven on a track, The people that know what I'm like will agree that I will bring this out for all to see. Especially the haters!

sux gas... this thread makes me wanna sell my car buy a realy mad camera... and take photos of your car lol ***n good work brother, alota cash gone in right there hopefully when i get over clubbing and the cross i might start putting some money aside for a car like this whats the colour called??

It's one garage with a 3.5m sliding door on the side for backyard access but about to build a mezzanine floor in the last bay and have a sort of workshop area under that ... It's funny about the tubbing thing cause when Vas' car was the only tubbed VL years and years ago he got ragged for it and all i heard was the only reason it was fast was due to being tubbed as everyone else was running 26x10 or 28x9, now almost every fast (8's) VL seems to have a 10.5 tyre Tubbing is relatively cheap and will help heaps with traction and also makes the car look tuff as like GLDJET does
