Oh that's ok then, yea I was mostly thinking about those kaikoura tunnels. Na I'm heading back to chch tomorrow (live there now) and didn't realise there was some hot rod thing on untill I saw a bunch of hot rods cruising round when I went out for a beer before....ah well!
-
This is so cool. I admire your workmanship. Did you work to a maximum height when you built it at all out of interest? Looks extremly high etc for tunnels etc, or is it roughly the same as a large height truck?
-
I hate you/ am extremely envious/jealous haha, looks super nice man and bet it will perform just as well.

^^ My god that is so legit. I want.

Well haven't updated in a while, had her in the 4s and rots show here in chch, picked up "best modified interior" which was quite happy with! Also had my mate take some pro photos of it the other night and they came out mint, so here they are..
So yea, anyway, other than that have taken it for a few thrashes, still inprocess of getting it ready for cert etc, few things to suss for that, just about to swap in a bluebird handbrake lever to work with new handbrake setup etc. Once she is all road legal I intend on dragging it and hopefully putting a bigger turbo on it as I feel it could definately benefit from it..
-
Yep, that's why I pulled over, re-tie it down, least it didn't slide across and take out the fuel setup to...
And yuh, keen for awesome painters number to blend it back in/can't afford it now anyway. Maybe I should just strip it and cage it and stop giving a fuck haha.

Awkward as fuck, turning up pissed to next one I think. Wish i never went on the drive. Moral od the story, check your battery is strapped in properly so you don't get your guard dented from inside out

How long you plan at being at tower junction then? I'll come to meet but aint driving out to racing coz car isn't quite up to the distance yet with teething probs, just wondering if its worth bringing capri out or jumping in with somebody else?
could always take it to the meat then drop it at my place on way to drags and jump in with me
Yea sweet deal brew. It's going to be staying at Robbies anyway so may as well drop it back there since it's only round corner from yours. Done deal

There is a escort that runs 9s on "RT" off here's website, 400hp pinto.

I have seen another turbo pinto in a cortina somewhere on the net I can't find that was running a fuckin' huge turbo which must have been making somewhat the same.
