argonaut's Comments: |
LX SL V8, Performer Manifold (Port Matched), Genie Headers, Holley 3310 Series Vac Sec 750,Fairly Large Crank , Short'ish rods and pistons to suit. COME Racing Cam, Standard'ish Valve train. Turbo Supra 5 Speed...., Grey custom interior, Console etc, stereo is a bit overkill and getting bigger as the money comes in. Massive radiator, Twin 12 inch Davis Craig Thermo fans (Aftermarket DSL12's)
Boxed rear lowers, adjustable multipoint rear uppers, Koni adjustable front and rear,24mm front, 22mm rear. King Springs (Heavy duty off 'H' series Holden) Lowered front and rear. 130ish litre drop tank (And I've found some room to make it even Bigger!!)
Big Hotwire Mags. (Probably not legal, like I care) Looking for Bigger ones!
UC Series 2 RTS Front Subframe, and K-Mac adjustable Sway bars front and rear. T.S.S. Camber extenders as the budget allows. The VT Brakes are as close as a set of 15 inch hotwires for the Front to allow for clearance.
Currently I am planning to travel accross to Western Australia towing my caravan.
My driving philosophy...Go Hard or Go Home!

Hell yeah, need more V8s, but I guess a lot of us V8 guys aren't spending as much time on the net as the 4cyl boys are. |
