the car got put back on the road a month or two ago by the guy who bought it from me in Concord. He is a mechanic. It was then sold to a guy in St Marys, who still owns it now. The car wasnt fitted with a FMIC, that box in the engine bay was a water to air cooler built by Plasmaman. My mate wants to buy the car from the new owner now. It always had bottome end bearings farking up due to a buggered oil pump. This has now been replaced by a GTR N1 oil pump so now more dramas in that department. The car doesnt have the wild leather interior or 18 XHP rims anymore, or the digital computer dash display. It has a set of 17s on it and VB seats and a standard vl steering wheel. Still has the kit and blow off valve through the scoop. Kit is damaged and cracked. All been rewired and fully rebuilt. Goes like a mutha farker now, but doesnt look anywhere near as good as it used to.

yes it used to have alot of cool stuff in it, but when i bought the car with the blow bottom end, seats and steering wheel and dash and lotsa good stuff where all missing. sorry to those who are shocked by the vb seats, but they were in amazing condition and a colour that really suited the car and the best i could do quickly seeing that it had no seats at all.. i was more interested in getting the thing running again. dont have any contact details and the guy that brought it, i dont think he would be to keen to sell, hes was pretty rapped with it.
