That car isn't gonna be on the road for a llllooonnnnggg time yet. madvk308 - got a feeling i might be needing my spare diffs foney - your car may be old (like ALL vls out there) but its damn nice. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pastical - That diff sounds mad, if its got drilled and sloted rotors then chances are they've gone to the trouble of putting an lsd in it aswell. From seeing your vk I reckon your project vl is gonna turn out SWEET as take your time with it and make it tuff! Dean

brought the whole vl car for very cheap off a guy i know. body of the car is near perfect as, has front bumper thingy, and rear spoiler. only rust thats in it is a single little bubble around the front window. Its a factory v8, so its got all the V8 brakes etc (all drilled and slotted). problem with the car is thats its got a seized motor. Looks like the main bearings on piston 1 died so the top of the piston hit the head. so i'm planing on rebuilding the motor and putting a stroker kit in it. 355, or 383. one of them why is 355 so much more popular than 383?? Don't know if i'll repaint it or not because the paint is near perfect at the moment. Just that its just boring old white. rb25 head for the vk will happen first but Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I went up against a well built Orange CVl 355 stroker a few weeks back. It went nicely off the line. Gave my 6 a fare run untill spool-time-baby. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol, if that is the case then i think you should go the 383 pastical or just turbz the vk :-) Have you decided where your going to get your car tuned superry, did you see that I replied to your tuning thread? Dean

No i didnt cheers mate ill check it out stat!

cal-a-kid. Im not racing anymore untill ive tuned and dynoed it. ALos wired up my tacho and get an exhaust system.best i got on the weekend was a 13.86 after a 5 runs. At first i was doin s hit times like 14.5 ect. i went and got some more fule had a feed came back and ran again againts my mates 200. he got a 14.2. first time on the track as well. Bit nervous at first too. Anyways...I missed third gear a few times. and not having any tachos wired up made it a challange.Had to listen to the engine. all on low boost. was a good nite. cya. no more smartarse S hit from me. so im sorry BEn and superry. Peace. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A 13.8 is alot better than everyone who was out there was telling me you were running. Heard the other day that the best time was only a 14.8 which seems really slow for the setup, guess they weren't out there at the end of the night. What time was it when you ran the 13.8? How many mph were you running? Should post up the time slip, so we all know what we're chasing. I t would definatly be harder without a tacho but not impossible, why were you missing gears? those 25 boxes are smooth as, however in the car with a helmet on makes it alot harder to listen to the engine i reckon. Its always a good night out there, heard there was heaps of people. Dean

u want me too post my slip up gimmie a scanner and i will. p.s i never got a F ucking 14.8 terminal speed 105.68mph elasped time 13.875 rection time .508 AND LET ME REMIND U THAT IT WAS MU FIRST TIME ON THE TRACK, WITH NO TACHO AND LOW BOOST.. Gimmie a couple of months and ill go out again. i found it heaps of Fun. like to see wat yours gets dean.. 17.5... Arrr jokes. I know my car is a S/hitbox.. the reason for missing thirid at the end of the first run i was really low on cluch fluid. toped it up pumped it a bit was ll good.. i aint got a scanner so if u wanna come around and see it ill show ya.. No big deal. CATCH

What nights is the strip open down there fellas, I think us Cairns lads will have to come down have a few runs on the quarter....,crash the night in a hotel or somethin and get on the piss...Make a night of it! What prerequisites to you have to have to run? Just the normal stuff like extinguisher, helmet, long sleeves/pants? Be a goer I reckon....

MadVk308 - The strip is open on a Saturday night, and it would be mad to see you fellas down here for a few runs. Definatly should make a night of it with abit of a cruise perhaps some burnouts even then find somewhere to get on the piss for sure. Prerequisits are battery tied down, radiator overflow, helmet, covered footwear and a long sleve shirt and pants. Its $22 to race and $8 to spectate. I would strongly recommend that you bring a set of slicks if you want to pull some decent times as the track is not all that flash. I seen the pic of your vk in the buildup post and it looks *****in awesome dude, really nice work, keep it up. Are you thinking about doing up a vl? Dean

Cheers mate!! Yeah i reckon would make an awesome night, have to organise something at Ingham and go from there....yeah the missus and I have something in the pipline (VL) maybe for early next year..

MAN! Wish i had it tuned... I would love to see what my girl can pull without slicks. Car should be back by Thurs all prettied up, to bad she's got a bit of a cough SO! Oh parents have just bought a house in Cardwell, so i might crash there Fri & Sat night. Its not furnished, but its got a roof and a carpet floor. Ill just take a sleeping bag or some****. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I would recommend that everyone who goes to ingham actually stay at the car show !!! I think its like 30 bucks for the weekend and you can set up a tent and sleep there. Saves driving or taxi-in back to wherever your staying and that way you can get on the piss all day and only have to walk 30 metres to pass out @ 4 in the morning. Yeah i reckon we definatly organise something at ingham. Btw ... my friend who was gonna take his vlt to ingham and skid it did another diff so hes got the sh!ts and is pulling it out to put in a nine inch which unfortunatly isn't gonna be ready for ingham, so now we've gotta take my ute :`( Oh well, you get that eh. When he puts the nine inch, he's going powerglide, forged internals and a ta51 ... its gonna be crazy, considering hes already got a fmic, computer and plenum, but i wouldn't expect to see it for another 6 months, definatly worth the wait though. cheers all Dean

FONEY mate.... lol holden by body nissan by heart. when i see you on the street my S15 will rip you appart Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sweet sounds good! Yeah im just going to crash at the carshow....sleep in the car or on the grass - whatever.. Hey if you guys hear of a diff for sale around townsville let me know...as Im starting to get desperate...and my options up here are limited.. So Ryan are you saying your going to drive to Cardwell to sleep on the Ingham weekend?
