Evening, I posted this on HSVSUX's car thread, but i thought i would put a link here also. Thought some of ya may be interested... Here is a video of HSVSUX at Pukekohe earlier this year. The video is just a few passes at high speed down the pit straight - the quality is average - but hey its a video of HSVSUX at high speed and thats all that counts And for something completely different... but still awesome! Here is a vid of that bad ass Torana [TRAUMA] giving it a rev at the Brock Cruise... One hell of a brutal sounding V8! Later, J Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm gonna take a guess at it not having VLs.. the Holdens will only be new ones I'd say. I think it was GT3 that had a couple of R31s in it.

"flextech, best under pressure" Yea i'm sure i've seen that on a pack of condoms somewhere. It was on the compressor side of the turbo, you can see where it was placed in this pic, http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...i/P1040225.jpg (http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e368/turbokiwi/P1040225.jpg)

To switch to electric windows it could be easier to swap the doors?.. I'd hate to have to **** around with all the **** on the inside of the doors.

Can just imagine how much of a nightmare switching the guts would be though. Yeah, I'm happy with manual windows And the shock some people get when they get in a car that doesn't have electrics is somehow amusing. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
