gotta say i'm certainly not a fan of the interior, nor the colour, nor the wheels; but as also mentioned...it's another cherished E21 on the road so hey ho. can tell you have put a lot of work into it and if it's how you wanted it then fair play and well done!

interesting car mate, i quite like the colour, good to see a car that stands out from the normal sea of grey and white, interior not my cup of tea but each to there own guys, are they the wheels you can get from america on ebay? the one with an offset of 0? did you have any problem fitting them? interesting choice of engine (again not really my thing, im one of those originality wankers) what made you go for a holden engine? Is velocity blue a ford colour, thinking it might look cool on my 1600

yep velocity is the xr6 xr8 falcon colour, went holden engien cause its cheap and very easy to get power from

I must admit if you took the interior back to standard Recaro I would quite like this car. Sort of.....

nah the V6 Holden engien is the Buick 3.8l engine, The Holden V8's are the LS motors from the corvettes

yeh when we tuned the car, gave it a couple power pulls on the dyno made 280rwhp on 11psi, had few little boost controle issues, so prob be bit closer to 290 at the wheels now that its fixed

my best is 13.2 @ 108mph but with 2.3 60ft times

last night was a time where i thought id get my 12's but... no

60ft launches where awesoem with 2.0sec flat, but about 50m from the line the bloody thing wouldnt select top gear

but i still managed 13.3 @ 94mph, so i lost 14mph off the top end not being able to get top gear, but 60ft has improved enough to run almost exact same time lol

so ill get top gear sorted and hopefully get 105mph+ and get my 12's

hehe plates are pretty cool, girlfriend bought them for me
