Parked in old (ex) car yard, Nanango. Must be local as been seen many times over the last few months. Then again, may have been stranded by covid

When he refers to removing the headlight, lots of folks do it get some fresh cold air into the turbo

no need to remove headlight, just cut a hole for the 106mm turbo..

If you look at a Zephyr grille, I can mount the turbo under the guard and do a cut out next to the indicator to feed the thing.

Wasnt a fan of the shape with the rear 1/4 window ..It always looked like the designer buggered up the rear head room and just tacked a bit of extra roof on and made it a weird shape . Think a 1/4 glass delete would have been nicer .;D ;D

have a read of some of the tech in this Anglia and the history of it! What a father son project!

The dominant rear wing is constructed from TeXtreme, a material used by eight of the 11 teams in Formula 1 during the 2013 season. I don’t fully understand the ‘spread tow carbon fibre tape’ principle that it employs, but if it’s good enough for F1, it’s good enough for me

and
The most incredible part for me is the cylinder head, which has been made by slicing two heads horizontally down their entire length, then welding them back together to give a longer inlet track. And that’s before you get in to the larger valves and other flow work that has taken place.

Decent application of an old redblock - they're normally considered as tractor motors, but because of that there are some that are running decent HP.

Reading the background of the builder (Grp A Volvo 242 team) it makes sense now as to why he's running a redblock...

Drug money?


https://www.carscoops.com/2020/05/holden-torana-a9x-an-insane-compact-hatch-with-a-5-0l-v8-and-a-crazy-asking-price/

This example has covered just 47,672 km (29,622 miles) from new, is completely standard and includes its original wheels. The asking price? A cool AU$495,000 (US $329,472)…

Got 7000 to spare? You can even have what metal is left



This is a unique vehicle. Possibly one of a kind. The 6-wheel configuration has the differential driving the rear wheels with rubber independent suspension setup on the forward positioned lazy axle.

Spotted this beastie down at the shops yesterday ;D

Sorry, it pixelated a bit when I dropped the image size but it says

"Official Pace Car

62nd Annual Indianapolis 500 Mile Race

May 28 1978"

Still a leftie, with normal street rego 78INDY ;D

& no, the nose isn't blue, that's just the reflection of the sky! It's just a bit polished ;D

& should mention, it's a '78 Corvette - would love (& probably be scared!) to know how many $ it's worth :o
