i used to have those rims on my Regency Red AU.
Made by ANZ but still looked really good - as you can tell on this car.
One of my all time favorite rims (other than the Rebels).

Those ones are a Kahn rim that were imported by Herrods.

Would sell alot easier if he had the original AU injection setup on it and i dont know why he went carby in the first place.

injector upgrade, fuel reg, bigger fuel pump, trickflow intake manifold flash tune and ur done

It was a play toy. and also made around 550RWHP if I am not mistaken. Goes a little better than new manifold and a flash tune will allow I think you'll find.

I think he actually found a little more power than that in the end. It was also built pre flash tuner days.

'Tis a serious bit of kit I must say.

Ahh yes, there was a bit of "throttle in a bottle" on board too, gave it another 100hp?

Even without the gas I think I remember seeing he made 600rwhp.

I think the gas was a little more than 100 too

Wonder what he wants for it, hopefully he has left the wireing for ecu untouched/hacked so someone can hook up the injection setup.
