haha yea the flies made me leave some nice cars there tho didnt see the century with the bonet open tho

[pauljones1976]

I think the flies were from the chicken manure.... Come on Z car club, apparently it was the same last year. Surely the flies have significantly detered visitors from spending any real time at the event. And I doubt I will be attending next year if it's at the same place and they can't guarantee the grounds won't be fertilised the day before...
Anyways, for those of you who didn't go, or did go but didn't get a good look, I have taken a few shots for you all. Unfortunately there's none of my car but you can get a look at it in my signature if you really want to...

Damn, pissed I missed the event to pursue hard work...

Like the UZA28 ... pffft, sure if I move the battery to the boot and place the air intake elsewhere I can fit two turbos in there!!

hi
does any one know whos 1uzfe /ra28 that belongs to
cheers

ian,

car belongs to a gold coast guy - not in our club but knows a few members.

drop a PM to GTA22 (simon) as i think he has contact details.

It's a good looking car - lots of great engineering work (the way the headers get past everything is impressive) and attention to detail - i wish they'd lower it a bit and use more understated rubber/rims.

cheers,
Charles.

Yeah charles, it sits way too high for my liking too. The tyres on the back were something like 235/60/15 - the sort of thing you'd run on a big falcon or something.... Not all that appealing if you don't like 80's muscle parts like drop tanks & twin pipes, a whole heap of 80's falcon parts attached to the bonnet, and big black plastic wings - but if you do then it's probably the hottest thing around...
Sounded tuff though! Dibs on for a drive!
Cheers,
-Paul.

How low does the engine sit in the bay? anyone note what engine crossmember, gearbox and diff he was using?

[thechuckster]

no idea about the actual mounts - but i have picture looking down at heades on both sides.

i could see power steering lines on the steering rack.

[Esteban]

Any idea which rack it was?
