If you can spend some time cleaning this one up, and take good care of it... You will have a very cool and unique car!

Is this a daily driver for you though?

Join the club.

This one dynoed at 511rwhp many years ago. I have a modified banjo with steel reinforced caps and it works fine. Its not for abusing tho.

Bloody Hell. Everytime I log onto the forum you have a different car !!

I'm gonna start a book. 10 to 1 says Sarsha has a different car this time next month. Anyone want a wager?

Seriously though, nice work. Looks like the car has a lot of potential.

Cheers,

Nice one!

Did anyone notice the thermo fan mounted directly on the intercooler? Probably not a fantastic idea...

took it for its first long drive last week to the gold coast was taking off from a set of lights and heard some loud noises from the diff and thought it was blown got the car home n jacked it up all the bolts inside were finger tight and 1 had come out and almost punctured a hole into the inspection cover plate on the diff :blink:

we tightened it all up and gave it a good oil change and it seems fine now lol

At that height you can drive all over the country and never worry about bottoming out. Posted Image

When are you gonna lower it Sarsha?

been having a few issues with the poor lil torana lately the alternator died at the gold coast and had to tow it home
and now the turbo is on its way out seems alittle better after installing a oil catch can, and just for the extra wank factor we installed a dose pipe today there is a video on facebook if anyone wants the link just ask
