Alls im asking is why were they removed and the holes covered up for simple. Also bigpsi if you read in the magazine you will see qwikvl said that the car makes 545kw at the wheels on 32 psi boost when it raced to the 8.90 and on the dyno at independant motorsport the car made on 714.7hp at the wheels which is 532 kw at the wheels. Are you saying he took away 14 boost and the car only dropped 13 kw at the wheels. Thank you qwikvl thats was pretty straight forward and thats all i wanted to know. Im sure I havn't read the magazine as many times as you but what I was saying is that Lowey drove the car to the dyno day at 18psi. Backed it on the rollers and made 499hp @ wheels Turned the boost up to 32psi and made 714hp @ wheels Which Lowey is rapped with, as it is now rich after a few mods

man lowey u have a ***en sick car...the vl scene is ***ed up no **** can ever appreciate anything...until any1 can build a car THEMSELVES thats this quick then come see him...bunch of **** ****s

Hey guys, thanks again for all your comments. I'm still wrapt with how it's going. It's going back in the shed for a while, cause the box needs to come out, and control arm mounts are wanted to start to part with the car, so it needs some attention before it can be raced again, not to mention needing a retune to get the mixtures where they should be. A few pics that were given to me tonight by a couple of mates that attended the dyno day, thanks heaps. Got a couple of vids too, of cruising home and on the dyno day, but does anyone know how to convert mov to avi? The wheels are walkies as they had rwc tyres on them lol looks nothing as exciting as the hsv wheels in the mag but you get the picture So by the time i get some money saved and have a long needed rest i'll hopefully come back out in the new year. Easternats was a blast, best three days of thrashing out, maybe i'll do that again. inflyt- no chance of selling anymore but if someone asked earlier i prob would have as i nearly threw in the towel a few times. boostn- thanks mate, i don't think andra track will like this car for some reason. So unfortuantly i might have to stick to vic tracks. Thanks again, Cheers, Lowey. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nice stuff lowey theres a couple programs floating around on the net that will convert .mov to .avi im pretty sure .mov is fine tho, just need quicktime or vlc media player ect to run them also, how are the rci seats? do they start hurting your ar5e or are they ok? congrats again cheers Troy

thanks troy, the rci are o.k with the padding, the trip was only almost 2 hours round trip on bumpy country roads, and that's prob as far as i would take it. lol. i have quicktime, but didn't think anyone else would.

congrats on mag feature, last pic above is missing the black lines on the road!!! good to see it driven on the street

and before i take off, a couple of older drag videos from heathcote, digging up some old one's i havn't posted before i think. Hope you enjoy. both fairly quick passes. http://users.tpg.com.au/low747/qwikvl2.avi http://users.tpg.com.au/low747/qwikvl3.avi

lol nice walkies...it was a **** to find u in portmelborne that night for those walkies man!!

really man i take my hat of to you this monster of a car is seriously fast GOOD WORK

a car that ran 8.90 and is genuine street driven. cruising 2hrs to a dyno comp, ramping up 700+rwhp and then cruising home. Thats Legendary! wat a way to rub it into the other chequebook racers in there workshop stickered up vls, that cant even come close to ur time. Love the signature too "MY SHED - Home of Australia's Fastest and Quickest Street VL turbo - 8.90 @ 158.5mph" lmfao

That 2nd vid is sick, sounds like its surging or riding bumps right at the end of the pass?

well done Brendon, dont listen to the people that bag it and i know u wont

Well Done Brendon.. Awsome car..

different dynos dont take the figure on dynos gospel. its runs 8s at almost 158mph........ its making power .

^ exactly VLT87!! Congrats on such an awesome achievement, look forward to seeing more of this car on the track!! how does it drive on the street ?? im guessing you just turn the boost right down to keep things fairly sane!? again well done, and keep up the good work!

I saw this car at Calder abit back now, An I was so impressved with it. Looks the part, Goes the part. This is on hot vl man. Love what you've done to it.. good work man.

awesome build mate, first time ive actually seen under the bonnet!! looks tops and much credit driving it there!! congrats and good luck running it again and going better than 8.90!!

Top Stuff Brendon, Your one of the most genuine blokes I have met off these forums, And have the ability to piece together a "Killer" car. Watch those control arms, though it's no fun welding them up, Or better still tub it with McDonald Bros kit.
