Quick question Aaron, is the inside of that right rear tyre rubbing on something or was that the way it came?

 

Good pick up Andrew, definitely some wear there.

What the actual frOck?

 

How on earth did you get that road legal with those turbo's sticking out of the bonnet? That car makes Mad Max's interceptor look like a pink Barina. 

 

What kind of times were you running on the track?

I remember seeing in Auckland in the early 70s what was basically a front engine rail driving in busy traffic.

You are not wrong. In Oz we live under very inflexible nanny regulations. If we drove a car like that around the streets, we would be locked up and on the 6 o'clock news while being labelled like we where a bomb carrying terrorist.

It is amazing how even mildly modified cars in oz are always portrayed with such negativity.

Been watching this for... I don't know how long. Well done! You can definitely walk the talk! Only change I'd like to see is to rear mount the turbos so it doesn't look like a Ram. Too many NZ sheep jokes I'm not gonna touch. Again, well done, lots of talent mate!
