yeh i bought seatons vh off him a month or two ago!
am thinking of stuffing motor and box in my lc, add some side drafts and gas and take it down the strip!
belly is like the godfather of quick carby fed cars, he just finished a blown 6 in an hr that should be running easy 13's once it's sorted, ryan and i are pretty good mates with the owner.
how were you in tas for?
what sorta car did you trundle about in?
you should bring your vl when it's done!!!
take it easy
ed
i neva thought seaton would sell that car but then i heard he lost his license for quite a while so guess he had no use for it
wot u goin to do wit the shell?
didnt he hav triples on it n also nos hooked up?
was it the 186 in it or different motor?
he blew a couple up i heard
the 1st motor was the quickest
i was in tassie for bout 5 years but wasnt old enuf 2 drive, well i was for the last year but neva got my license, i had so many wicked cars i could hav driven aswell!!
am definitly bringin the vl down when its done, could hav another shell lined up that i will b playin wit n mite end up sellin both n puttin the 26/30 into sumthin else...
yeah belly knows his stuff
he also builds/built v8 touring car motors
but i would lik zac to go further wit the car n put efi heads on it n do a few other small things but he wont do it lol
it supposed to hav round 320-350rwhp but i doubt it
used to luv goin in that car, he sorta painted elphin sports centre carpark in black stripes when i was down there lol
if you want to put the 26/30 in an lc 2 door you can buy mine!!! haha
yeh the first motor was the quickest, ran a 13.5 at tarmak with wheelspin till near halftrack, just couldn't get traction , was built by brookfield in hobart, red head is the only thing left off the original motor, not much else, we're running a 500 holley on it as we're sorting the bugs out, hasn't been driven for ages so it's a bit tempremental.
i don't know whether to sell the vh and lc and buy a vlt (will make gf happy) or just keep vh and sell lc, or sell vh shell and put motor in lc.
who knows, it's a ******* of a decision.
take it easy cheif
- ed
i hav always wanted 2 do a 2dr LJ but puttin that motor in 1 of them is just a recipe for disaster lol
and chassis clearence dont look the best...
is seatons shell stil as smick as always?
i remember drivin round in town 1 nite n we were behind him when he was in his gf car, we were in the black gtr
10minutes later seaton rocks up in his vh still all wet from him just washin it, he gave it a stick down past the cinemas n the gtr kept up wit it wit 3 people in it, seaton was by himself
i do miss those days but u cant beat the car scene up here on the coast, unless u live in melb wit all the 10sec street vls lol
haha, thats what happened with my drag with him, went back and got lc, gave him drag and cracked the head whilst dragging him, he still woulda beat me but not by much and i was running a 4 barrel, not triples
yeh seatons car is still pretty neat, goin a bti better after we took it into the workshop, bumped the timing, funny thing is these days to run 13's people do it with more boost, gone are the days of more compression and carbies and a wild cam.
wonder if it'll ever come back?
i reckon i'll sell seatons car complete, sell lc shell and buy vlt
getting sick of carby farts!!!
its the way of the future m8
EFi all the way
and turbos r comin standard on alot of cars now also
tassie needs beta fuel tho
when/if u guys get bp ultimate it will b heaps beta altho it will b ova $1 a litre down there i reckon
out of interest, how much u pay for it?
my brother luved that car!!
if i eva moved bak down there, which i wont lol, but if i did i would start up a shop, learn how 2 tune b4 i come down there n start gettin sum cars down there runnin real quick lol
i can dream lol
go a vl m8
wit the cash u could get from both of them u could get a real decent vl from melb
paid 5 for it and got a fair bit of extras, plus it's neat inside and out, good set of wheels, but now it just sounds like i'm trying to convince myself it was a good buy! nah i'm happy with 5 for a thirteen second car.
yeh efi is the way to go, but to me there is just something about a carby fed, lumpy as fck, high revving motor, they are unreliable as, but i can spend hours down at tarmak just walking around the pits...
yeh i think i'll get a vlt, but the trouble is finding one!!
not many people can help me find one, it's hard as trying to find one from up here.
you should tell me when your coming back down, will have to meet up, am keen as to see this beast of yours
take it easy,

Family jokes aside..... It's actually quite hard to pick up down here when out on the town. Soo many chicks(even the ugly ones) rate themselves way too high and end up going home disapointed.....
