Lol the funny thing is it was insured but no for flood! Because the government declared it a natural disaster insurance companies changed it to a flood not storm the same thing happen with my house contents! So now I am full covered but my premium is double what it would of been 12mths ago 2 words for insurance companies..... F#ckin Dogs!

Hey guys sorry for no updates its been a crazy 12mths car was coming along awesome and was heading off to get tuned in late Feb 2012 and on the 9th of Feb 2012 my whole house and shed got flooded when we had heaps of rain in Febuary. I lost everything in my shed, house and the car! The water came up that fast I had no time to get it out and the water peaked 2 inches below the roof of the car so I lost it all as it was uninsured! But there is light at the end of the tunnel!!!! I have completely stripped it and started again and its coming along really well, everything has been rebuilt and put back in. All the custom mounts, radiator and exhaust manifold have been done and next week it goes off for a full cage and alloy dash. Apart from that hopefully by the end of the year earlt next year it will be hitting the track.......... Its pretty much just a drag car now but could be registered in the future but just looking for a killer drag/powercruise car

Who is doing your tuning? I am keen to get mine sorted out after Xmas mine is pretty much the same set up as yours! lol

thanks for that dillz

Update Turbo is here and looks awesome have the motor and box in the car now with a few more toys there...... Can I email someone the pics as I cant load them? Also spoke to a well known engineer and ANDRA is about to approve 6 Point bolt in cages in the next month or 2 so I have ordered one and just waiting on my seats to get here from the US and its off to a mates work shop for exhaust, wiring, tailshaft and tuning!!! looking at having it done after xmas as I dont get my license back till then! Cheers Brent

Got my motor on thursday hopefully next week or 2 have it sitting in the bay then order the manifold and wait for the turbo to get here! f*ckin pumped as! going to leave the body stock as I think less is more will add esp mouldings around the body also add a lip spoiler for the front and that's it for the body. Then get her wired up and just tune it on pump fuel for 1000kms's just to iron out some bugs and let everything settle in, then I will turn up the boost and e85 and crack some serious numbers!

Thanks heaps shyfrd! champion

cant do it! can I email them to someone please?

Ok trying to upload pics!

well I have gone all out bought a 698 atomic motor so chasing big power hopefully have it in a couple of weeks will keep you updated

UPDATE: Sorry about no pictures I took some and I cant upload them! Sorry I am terrible at computers hahaha Anyway I found out last week I am losing my license for 6 mths so I am doing a few more things in the mean time, just order a Comp Turbo from the US they are the exact same as the new Garrett GTX series. Ordered a CT43-74mm Good for 1200hp to go on a 6boost manifold wont be here for 4 weeks so pretty pumped (other turbo for sale if anyone is keen look in classifieds). Just deciding what to do engine wise may leave the bottom end stock for now and see was sort of power we can get with e85 or go all out with Atomic engine..... Anyone got one for sale? lol otherwise will order one, will try and get pictures up asap Cheers Brent

This is the setup out of my BA and first pass off the brake ran 11.4 at 122mph in that then next pass stalled it up launched and ate a half shaft and that's the only time I took it.... The XE was a deceased estate and sat in the guys sons garage as there was a fight over the will, was stored for 10 years before the court battle was over and the guy just wanted it gone. Its in really good nick for a 29yr old car! Paint is like brand new just missing some where you get in and out of the car on the drivers side sill and 2x 50c size rust in the gutters apart from that its clean as. I dont think its ever had anything in the boot cause its still got the plastic in it and the guy gave me a folder of every little thing spent on the car including the purchase slip to even puncture repairs lol!

If it goes bang I am building up an atomic motor as we speak too but I just want it on the road and sort out all the bugs and make sure it goes, stops, and is set up well before that motor, manifold and gt42 go in.

Well I got 355kw@w with this motor and box setup in my BA so with a bigger exhaust and fully programmable ecu an extra 15kw should be do able I think..... Yeah the rear end is copping new stiffer V8 king springs with all new shocks while the diff itself has moser 31 spline billet axels, full spool, 3.45 gears! looked at doing a 9inch but they suck more power and are abit heavier, like I said the guy that built it (SPEEDY Diffs in Mascot) has the exact same diff in his BA Turboed 6 powered Cortina that runs 8.60's and make's 750hp+@w so I am pretty happy with it.

Good luck with what? Yeah I dont know how to put photo's on the computer lol hopefully the chick next door can sort some out this weekend!
