So, it's been a long time coming to get this car back to life. Most of you may remember the wagon from years ago running airbags etc and being a nice all round street cruiser. Well a 6 week build at 'spot on performance and fabrications' from up here in Queensland changed everything to do with the old girl. I won't do a full write up now on it, but will all come in due time. For it's first meet she did us proud. Eventually ran a pb of 9.23 @ 150mh and took out best wheelstand. Plenty more in the tank over the next few months and hoping to dip into the 8's really soon. Seeing this w'e was run on the soft tune, im sure it's more than capable. Anyway, massive cheers to Andy and Danny at spot on and the extended pit crew, special thanks to Graham at turbowerx for saving the w'e for us and efi for all the tuning. Sorry I haven't uploaded pics as I'm on my iPhone, I'm sure someone will throw some up sooner or later as there are heaps floating around on the net from the weekend

couple i took at Jambo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Now that is one tuff wagon 2jz farkkk yesss. and a bloody quick time first time out, looking forward to seeing what this beast can run Congrats!

Prezent this award winning wheel stand.... Need some more photos!

ur an animal josh.. wana sell it back ahahah THIS PIC IS GAME OVER!! looks like the airbags are still in the back!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol famous for dropping the front end to crush cans, now lifting its nose so high? love the 2j!

Can still crush a can under that rear. Congrats on the time. So does this make it the fastest wagon? if not of all models? re VB-VE ---------- Post added 04-10-11 at 20:26 ---------- DOH just saw the thread in DRAG and it's been stated already, oops

looks sweet as!! that waould have to be tubbed yer? look at that rear wheel tucking hahaha

incredible turnaround from what the car was. why not start with a bog stocker if you were going to do so much work? i'd imagine except for the paint not much is left of the bagged vl? not hating, just wondering.

he bought it off me for a fairly good price.. but im sure he kept getin ***ed around by QLD cops due to airbag suspension.. then a rear bag blew and it sat in his garage and slowly stipped her down...

Yeh you are right about starting from scratch. But as Andrew said I copped a fair bit from the cops up here and received to main roads inspection notices in two days. So pulled it off the road and sold the motor and box that input in it, as I wasn't happy with the set up what so ever. So to sell it off and start again was going to be a mission in itself. So thought bugger it, we'll use what I already have and build it the way we want too. Wasn't the most 'wallet' friendly way of doing it, but cars never are. I more than happy with the ways its gone and gas been worth the wait and hassles.

I'm so glad I sold it.. even though I regret it! But I never would have done what you have! Try and het the videos up! Love the wheel stands in motion!

Videos should be up on you tube in a few days

Good engine choice. Interesting car!!! Love it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well, she runs in 'modified 10.5', so does run larger tubs. Videos now on you tube under 'spot on performance' and 'spot on vl chassis twisting'.

was good to see it out but would be better if the owner drove it and not handed the keys to spoton boys for the weekend.
