Make sure you get plenty of snags and chops Shane. DON'T FORGET THE ONION!!!!! It just wouldn't be the same without it. Would you like me and any others to bring a hot plate of our own to ease the burden on your barbie?

Perhaps a V8 upgrade. Nah....couldn't be..... forced induction? Too easy.... Stroked? Maybe.... Dual exhaust.... not without major mods....
I think all in all, with the added performance of fluffy dice, 1mtr long window stickers, aerodynamic door mirrors, and custom chrome exhast tips, we can expect Casper to be running 8 second passes on the 1/4 - lol Better put on the anti-wheelie bars just in case - ROFL jk!

I hope you're not messing with me Krissy? LOL! I get too excited these days about people's mods. This of course is a compensatory measure for the lack of cash flow and mods on my vehicles. I can see it now. GK lying on the well worn couch of shrink. Shrink "Tell me GK, when did all this start?" GK "It all started in March 2005, I joined Ford Forums as 99FuturaWagon, of course my name is different now Doc, but the name change hasn't shaken this desire to mod my cars." Shrink "Why is this a problem for you GK?" GK "Because I don't have the money to mod Doc." Shrink "What would life be like for you GK if you did have the money?" GK "Please, please, stop the torture doc!" Shrink "What's wrong?" GK "I'm being torn between "bling and go, you've gotta help me Doc!" Shrink "I'm not sure there is a cure for your ailment son!" GK "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!" GK

Hmmmm,Supercharging the AU I6,the thought has crossed my mind a couple of times,what a weapon it would be,i'm sure you've all seen what we've acheived with the LS1 using this method.Do you think there would be a market if we were to embark on this type of quest? Of course this type of mod doesn't come cheap & may be out of most peoples reach.

I'd be more worried about the Vicroads/Engineering costs (which I know can be done as the edit fixes the biggest problem.. aftermarket computer no longer needed) and the fuel/tyre costs!!

I hear ya... None of the others will insure my wifes car.. They say that there is too many mods and Shannons says no because it is the weekly family ride, so the only option is Just Cars. Would like the value to be higher and I would feel more comfortable about the mods but all that you can do is list them all separately to be covered. |

Even if the track is vertical you'll not get better than a 9.

It takes insane amounts of power but its not out of the question. Hotdbz's turboed AU XR6 ran 11's as a road car when Dan owned it (and got the tune all sorted). It could have quite easily have run 10's and still been a daily driver with a bit more work.
