Hi Redrum, will keep you updated with the rebuild.

Regards to CV joints, im not 100% sure if HPF have however, a place across the road from HPF in the same street, Kewish auto are doing Geea's XRT which runs 10.6 down the track. So might be worth talking to them about the options.

Cheers,

Rob...

Rob,

Glad you liked the finished result.

All credit should go to Victorian freelance photographer John Jovic for really delivering a brilliant shoot here.

The car, location and action all came together to make magic that afternoon...

Yeah not bad hey with only 297rwkw's running on crapy Nitto's street rubber with the standard converter aswell! (but tricked up) The guys at HPF are doing a great job with the car. Love to see what she can do now from the upgrade and with better rubber? Here is a time slip...

Congratulations on a great story/ride I noticed on the other forum (VL turbo yuk forum )that you had other wheels what made you switch as I run the same Fusions in 19's on mine and luv them! is the front bar genuine or fibreglass

Hey Frank, I was just getting sick of the ROH Furrys and was always a big fan of the deep dish mags. When i saw a mates car (GEEA) for the first time, he had the Fusions on and loved them ever since! They are an awesome looking mag. Nah the front bar is fiberglass, its looks good however it chips so easy! grrrrrrrr

man that is a sweet ride. Great looking rims. Are they 18s or 19s, and is your car lowered. If so by how much?

Also, is it leagal to drive with those blue coloured headlights, or did you have them fit specially for the photo shoot?

Thanks buddy, They are illegal do drive them while they are switched on - you can be done for imitating an police/emergency vehicle. I had them on a while ago ... since that night at Calder

The headlights do look good, have a feeling I have seen footage of your car at calder. The main issue regarding legality is the fact that mandatory lights have been replaced with coloured globes, unroadworthy. Would only be an issue if on or roadworthy/roadside safety inspection conducted on vehicle.
