Yep, because it looks like an LX!!!!

Great job Dirtbag, any build is a huge challenge but the work you did is exceptional and the result proves that.

CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE!!!

Hi Lenny. It steers great. It's really light and VERY responsive. You hardly have to move the steering wheel any more. It's a great kit which I recommend, but for LS1 owners be prepared to chop the sump, other than that it's a really easy install. Thanks again Lenny.

Thanks a lot guys for the positive feedback. It means a lot as you guys know how much blood sweat and tears goes into a build.

As for wipers, we're hoping to be at toranafest on sunday, and will be happy for anyone that might happen to have some wipers for me to buy.

Looking forward to putting some faces to the names on sunday : )

I'm a bit of a redneck from up woop woop and I was wondering where I can find this mystical town called toranafest. Everyone seems to be talking about it. Do they have beer? Is it anything like Oktoberfest with toranas? And can I have an address to put up a tent. Thanks.

It was great to meet a few of you today. The car is now in Canberra. It was super reliable - didn't miss a beat. Only used about 5 litres of fuel. Tims VX that towed it used heaps though...
