Axistr,
Is that last pic in your post your car.
I thought I was the only crazy bugger to put a VT main harness intoi a Torana
Cheers, Max

Hatchssv8,
Yes all the photo's are of my hatch and yes good spotting of the vt fuse box,
"HOLDON" wasn't finished in that photo so the fuse box and a few other items had not been finalised, as I have fitted electric seats, nipondenso A/C ,VT Twin Thermo Fans and a heap of other electrical extras I needed an extra compact fuse box. You must have had the same problem to need one also.

Shameless self promotion

Not bad either

Heres some pics i dug up of POP'S, known as Ian Parker from Pt Agusta,
This car was one of a kind, Injected 383ci COME Engine with a TKO 5spd, simmons FR19's with 365 Rubbers on the rear, and went like dog with turps on its nuts,
Everything to the finest detail, Henry (RRUSHH) Still owns it in sydney but barely drives it.

^^Now that is a bloody nice hatch!^^
I remember it taking off sideways in front of me on 1 of the allstates cruises years ago.
Darky, I saw your "Black Beauty" on the road the Monday of the long weekend I think it was. She looks a million bucks!! A credit to you.

Where did you see me TORLX8?
I covered more than 300K around Adelaide over the long weekend to run in the engine prior to the dyno tune in the near future.
It now has the 14" Aungers and new tyres fitted and it rides like a true tourer now.
Oil leak is now only the odd drip thanks to the full PVC setup.
PS. Most of the Top Hatches I can think of have been covered above.

Just remembered, i took these photo's at the All Holden Day at Flemington Jan 07.
A pair of yellow A9X's, one Hatch and one sedan, beautifull cars.
Their were plenty of Hatches their and all were excelent, but this stood out.
I'll post the sedan in the 4 door thread.

I don't think that hatch is an A9X somehow, if it is it's certainly not the original colour, only one absinth yellow hatch was made and it's currently in my shed.

The hatchback above is a member of Eastside Cruisers and a good mate of mine - it's an SS, not A9X. Awesome car though, very tidy.

The Simmons came off to preserve the rubber.
I have new spares for the rear but the 255/45/15 fronts are NLA.
The 245/265 50 series 14 inch tyres have made the ride nicer and the steering is much lighter too. I just need to buy a back up set when money is available.

That was my advisor at the wheel at the Maxwell lights.
He has no hair and mine is grey/white.
