Sure is it was found in a warehouse in perth had done around 100km since stolen Had to replace the mags and the interior but other then that the car was like brand new. The Yellow one that replaced this car was sold a few weeks back for $70000 with more km's

this is the yellow monaro which did the 10 second manual pass on the fullboost.com video right? if it is, it has a whipple charger same as i'm using. starr sell them as kits, seems like they get pretty decent power out of them eh?

exchange rate to the U.S. is getting lots better now, the 2300AX is roughly the same price as a new GT35/40. going onto a 25/30 combo engine i'm building at the moment. should be fun.

Sorry for going off topic, beautiful car btw, seen and heard the "second" version of it at calder and it was a show stopper, the maonaro was a bees **** from being up on two wheels when she launches, the torque them blowers make is off the charts

your best bet for price is straight from whipple in the US or www.superchargersonline.com (http://www.superchargersonline.com) but they may not freight to australia. there are a few easy ways to keep the costs down, like fabricating your own brackets, pulleys and all that. machine shops charge less to custom build a pulley than whipple do to buy them new! on a V8 you need custom manifolds which are $$$$$ but i'm block-mounting it and running it through two intercoolers (maybe) so i'll make up all the piping. throttle body doesn't need to be moved if you know what you're doing either Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
