Hey all This is my other car which is currently sitting in my backyard with no engine as it's being rebuilt to handle the Nitrous. Quick run down of what it has. Car is a series 2 berlina, 304/360ci stroker (carby), Hypertectics pistons new Shotpeened rods new race bearings Harrop Crank Dual Plane Manifold Modified 750dp Holly 1/2 Inch Fuel Lines Fuel Cell in boot Big Fittings, Annodised Big Carter fuel pump Yella Terra Roller Rockers Worked VL heads Crane 288 solid cam Twin 2.5 inch exhaust into Single 3 inch, NOS nitrous system 100hp shot gearbox is Turbo 350 (rebuilt roughly 1year ago) Stage 2 Shift Kit rebuilt 9 inch LSD with 4.11's. Diff was built with a brand new steel centered hemisphere. 3 Inch Single Piece Tail Shaft Blue interior with 3 small Autometer guages mounted under cd player. Momo Wheel. Car has ran 13.0 @ 104MPH with very little stall (2300) in its first outing as it wouldn't hold. Has a lot more potential. A very big sleeper on the street. I have to find video of when it was dragged but i raced 3 times beating a R32, Walkinshaw on slicks and a VT SS LS1 auto. I'm very undecided on whether to sell the car or keep it and race it and just have it as a weekend car. I love this car and the power it has. Engine will be back and back on the road hopefully in 3 weeks max. I'll get some more pics when the engine is back in the car. Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well the car was meant to be stripped and sold in parts until a mate decided he wanted an angry V8 and now wants to buy it, i want to get back into an LS1 so i said yep and it's slowly getting put back together. Engine should be finished in around 2 weeks, rebuilt and able to handle the 100hp shot of nitrous we are feeding into it. Diff was sold aswell as a few other bits and pieces. Now has an n/a diff and tailshaft so it should be interesting till it goes BANG! new diff and tailshaft will be installed once they let go. My mate is aiming for an 11 second pass with the nitrous so fingers crossed. It should be hitting the streets in sleeper form once again shortly.

i shouldve ran a mid 12 when i raced it but being my first time racing i babied it and only got 4 runs in with the last being the strongest at 13.0 (had so much more left in it), gear ratio wasn't good either i lost a fair bit top end. I think the heads and cam, exhaust, diff are the future plans cause it already has a low rise single plain manifold in it and now the 100hp shot of nitrous.
