i would be severely embaressed
to advertise that power level from 4 litres with large turbo.that power level is achieved with half the gear.............
3 days? how many people? one can do a full conversion in a week............

One can do a full conversion in a week?

Yeah, but this is a full conversion into a non-bolt in car, with the added challenge of a Turbo, aftermarket ECU, front mount etc.

I may be new to the Toymods forum, but I've been around modded cars for quite a while and no matter how much people want to fling crap at this car, it's quite a good thing for 3 days work (to my knowledge there were 2 machanics and one other guy involved in the build).

Commenting on it's level of build quality not being high enouhg for Autosalon is a bit of a joke, the car looks to have been built mostly for a dyno queen, and lst newcastle autosalon I went to saw a see of "show cars" where the paint colour changed from panel to panel, the quality at Autosalon, and most shows is just crap these days, it seems that the promoters are just happy to grab more entry fees rather than present a good quality of car - maybe less people are willing to show thier cars too?

The questions around the workshops abilities are equally as funny to me, fair enough Ribfeast had a problem, and I don't know the whole sotry (didn't read his topic) but everyone makes mistakes, lets not be too rough.

Also worth noting is the 200kw+ 4 cyl cars Nova has taken to autsalon before. 200kw+ camry and a couple of 300kw hondas that were there a couple of years ago.

In closing, I want to point out that I am not affiliated with Nova, I have used them to work on my cars when I lived nearby and had no problems, but I am not financially or otherwise tied to the workshop - I get no benefit in standing up for them other than the fact I don't think ragging on this car is giving them a fair go. 300kw (not hp) from a very roughly tuned 4 litre is quite good IMHO. I'm sure I had seen a fair few customer Cressidas there when my car was there too?

No, the car looks like tis been built for a burnout competition. Oh and a 300kw dyno queen? LOL

300kw would win most Dyno comps around newcastle in the V8 category, they are full of old school V8s...

Not many of the real performance cars from Newcastle bother with Dyno comps, the cars from shops that actually compete in Drag and circuit rarely see the dyno (cars like 1JZ747) so it's rarely difficult to take a win.

[jeffro ra28]

well why is at the autosalon dyno and not the local bogandoor V8 dyno comps?

[Fiver]

I'm pretty sure you'll find that comp was it's first outing. I really don't see the problem though, how many 1uz cars are getting around with 300rwkw in Australia? I've heard of only a handful, not many making over 300rwhp, let alone kw.

[jeffro ra28]

meh............

[Fiver]

OK, so maybe I spoke too soon.
Will report back soon.
