If u want i can take you for a strap in my road going weapon when i get it back on the road....the torque from my turbo boost snapped one of my axles.
I rarely get beaten, I always kick Ford Falcons and Commodores asses. Although once I unfortunately came up against a new SV6 VZ commodore it was very close...but he got me.

Yeah my new drag VL should push me well into the 12s hopefully. Full tube chassis etc etc. No one really knows about it yet. Its going to have a suck-thru 750 holley DP on it and I'm going for 300 flywheel hp. Gonna run 16" slicks to get to the ground after it goes through a single rail borg warner 4 spd. This isn't really a daily driver but something you drag kids can admire. 12s here I come baby!

Yeah and its you Niel! Along with Mr SuperRy....
SuperRy- the sarcasm started in the 4th reply when exchaser started posting in this page. Hes a little subtle on the sarcasm so you have to pick up on it.

Fingers crossed mine will be back together next week, or mebbe the week after (depending on when I can grab those pins off you Andy! *curses* should just bit the bullet and bought the acl set off you. Bah)
Since last year, its been 4 months off the road, 6 months on, 2.5 months off.....talk about frustrating.
But my plans to go OS at the end of the yr have been put on hold, so now its time to spend some money on the car....finally get that suspension fixed, and get a bloody 3" exhaust......and get round to fitting that boost controller Ive had sitting under my wardrobe for the past 12 months! :S Bah...it'll get there. Being a poor uni bum sucks.
Good to hear everyone is suffering from lack of running vl's though! I'm not alone!
Cheers,
Steve.

My torana will hopefully be ready for a start tomorrow provided the haltech and wiring is all sorted. Its been off the road for 12 months now so it's been a long time coming! I will hopefully have pics up soon. Im hoping to run a 13.
When is the next exchaser cruise gonna be cause i reckon a few north queenslanders should head down, i know i wanna check out some of the mad vls from down that way and i've always wanted to do a road trip in my rana. So is there ne plans for another one or what?

that's cause you can't do anything on it yourself, and have to rely on other people to fix it...
