I have some more to add I may try again now, it said before I had to many pic's LOL!! Continuing on from before... Computer system goes a little something like this.... Motec M800 ECU Motec CDi8 Ignition expander Motec SLM (Shift and warning ) Motec Advanced Dash Logger Dash I will most likely be using E888 with EGT sensor's into each exhaust port of the extractor's also... So it was time to send her in to get the rear end done, and after getting the run around's by JL Racecar's (Rediculous waiting time) I decided to send the car into Taverna Bros to get the rear end done which is where she currently is... This was a few week's ago and I was told the rear rail's etc were still all to come out, and alot of other assorted metal... These are the new boot's she will be wearing once back on it's wheel's... Order for Taverna is largish size new sheet metal Tub's, new large shoulder 9inch housing, relocated leaf spring's moved both in and upward's, 35 Spline Full floating hub's, Full Floating 35 spline billet axles, Strange 35 spline Nodular Iron centre casing, Moser Wavetrac 35 spline True Trac centre, 3.5 Pro gearset, ventilated rear disc's and handbrake etc all setup ready to go, new shockies etc, adjustable top arm's and a stabilizer for racing, Chromoly Rollcage all tucked in as neat and as hidden as possible... That's where she's at, will add more pic's and info as I go along, and Yes is has all been pre approved for the tubbing etc which is why it has to have full floating hub's and no locker's etc etc, already have purchased larger twin piston front brake setup to compliment the rear's, also will be most likely running this new electric / hydraulic braking setup which requires me to run no brake booster or vacuum tank etc... I will add stuff as I go along, like I said at the very beginning it won't happen overnight but it's progressing, I haven't been there for a few week's and I told him I would like to see it this side of Xmas so finger's crossed... Cheer's...

Hey lad's I've received a few PM's and request's in regard's to what I am up to with my Capri so I thought I would throw up a Thread and slowly add to it as it progresses along, as you all know these thing's take time and alot of money, BUT sometime's no matter how much money you throw at them thing's just never progress as planned and get thrown on the back burner, but that's not the case at this point she is actually a work in progress in the chassis shop receiving some rear end work... I have owned it a number of year's now, I actually bought it pretty much as you see it pictured for an old school cruiser as I've alway's loved Capri's, I'm actually a Expensive Daewoo man and have a few old school Torana's aswell, but I've alway's been attracted to Tuff Capri's and so I bought this car turn key for a cruiser for the Family....( Now need another cruiser ) The car is fully engineered for everything...ie...guages, front runner's, driveline, scoop etc etc, the car came as a mild 302w C4 and 9 inch diff with 3.25 gearing, but am told by the previous owner it had his 393 windsor 2spd and a different ratio rear end and it ran a best of 9.80-9.90 @ 138-140mph some year's ago, that driveline has now been transplanted into his mint white XY GS Falcon and he sold off the Capri to recoup some cost of the XY... To cut a long story short, I am a big turbo fan, no matter what the brand or amount of cylinder's or rotor's, even tuff V8's float my boat, So after having an XR6T for a number of year's and being long over the 302w and it's piggy manner's, I thought imagine the Capri with a nice mild XR6T engine and 4spd auto conversion would be pretty sweet, and that was the initial plan, I knew it would easily outpower the 302, be way smoother, quieter and more fuel efficient... So after again speaking to the engineer, told him what I had planned, he got back to me within a few day's and said go for it, he told me I can run any ECU I like, don't have to run fly by wire throttle, can have as big a cam's as I like, I don't even have to run a cat converter, so pretty much everything I mentioned to him was a green light, that's when my brain went about 6 million miles an hour, reason for this is Because I had this setup I had bought which was planned for my XR6T, but that went out the window, I thought if I was going to go back to old school, I'm going back in a big way, I was going to load it with technology and lot's of it, aim was to make it fully engineered and legal, so after speaking to John of JL Racecar's, he spoke with the engineer once again to confirm and got the nod to proceed... So here we are, engine of choice is a brand spanker's 2011 spec Atomic 998 GT-R with a few extra touches, I actually fitted the engine into my BA XR6T to run it in, felt so tuff compared to the original engine, and sounded like a big cammed 8, never tuned it other than a run in tune... (Sorry Some images may be Blurry ) To compliment the engine is a set of ETM BA / FG Falcon extractor's, ETM 4inch Dump, Turbosmart 60mm Powergate and a GT4718R ( GT47-88 Roller ), at the start I was not to sure any of this would fit in or under the bonnet of the Capri, as I had bought it all to suit an XR6, but infact surprisingly they all fitted perfectly with just a minor adjustment to the wastegate position, everything went in and clear's with abit of room to spare, You may also notice I changed the sump, from a front pan position BA sump to a rear pan position FG sump, this is a must to clear the front crossmember & rack and pinion steering... So now I was at a stage to make a decision what Tran's I was going to use before sending the car in, I had a fully built transbraked 4spd auto built by Yarra Valley which worked extremely well, but upon thinking about it I decided I would have my hand's full steering this little sucker than to worry about changing gear's all the time, so I decided to lash out and buy a brand spanker's 1800hp rated 2spd speed from ProTran's....Spec's below... Cars weighing up to 3100lbs and making up to 1800hp Extreme duty hi flow pump Vasco ringless input shaft 10 - Clutch pack steel drum Kevlar X/wide band 1.80 super straight cut gear set with billet bolt on output shaft Billet clutch hub Billet twin ring servo piston Pro brake with reverse saftey lock out Hardened band pin Reid case and tail housing Roller bearing construction Moroso Deep pan Multi Pro lever # Case Available in One or Two Piece - Two Piece Case may be Fitted to any Engine Combination with a SFI approved Bellhousing So after this arrived it was time to send the car into JL Racecar's for fitment, this is prior to going in.... Few week's later it came out looking like this... I initially set it up with an FG Turbo plenum, but I'm not sure if I am going to be using either that or a Nizpro Cobra Plenum with BA runner's, I like the neatness of the FG unit, I have fuel rail etc to suit it, I will get back to that as I get closer I guess... Injector's of choice are these little 235lb sucker's...

Up from the North I beleive mate...

Yes basically what I'm aiming to achieve is similar sort of concept of the below Corolla which is 2J powered, if I can cruise off the line and run these sort's of number's on Pump E85 in a fully engineered and Street Registered car with total reliability then it will be mission accomplished, take into account the Barra's make a shipload more Torque than a 2J it shouldn't be much of an issue... If you read the comment's on this Capri below the video the guy say's it has about 1050hp @ flywheel or 630rwkw which should be easily achievable in full street trim...ie..full exhaust, radial's, pump E85...

Yep will make 1 when I get the car back with some updated shot's... Cheer's...

GT47-88 Roller mate, BUT I'm going to be upgrading to the new GTX 47-88mm version when they are released here, car's currently in getting tubbed etc as we speak to fit 325/50/15 ET Street's, Car is going to be Fully engineered for all mod's ( Been pre- approved and inspected already ) Just have to finish it all off and sent it off to the engineer to do some brake, steering etc test's to complete the Certificate... Should be finished in the new year sometime...

Here's some of my Current project...

For Hand's down Best Kebab's, Katik in Barry's Road opposite Ford, or Thomastown Kebab House...

Ah well mate not to worry, I'm sure your car will belt out a 9 without a doubt, All the gremlin type issues that come along the way, well that's just drag racing and high performance car's for you, every get's them they can't be helped... Goodluck for next time...

Yeah I woulda presumed that but not where we will be going, we won't be prinny, will be in other assorted places in surrounding area's...

I've already copped the SMS's, guna be a big night tomorrow night from what I've heard.....

Had plenty of 2spd's in various car's over the year's and if it's built properly there pretty much set and forget and won't need fark all maintenance, will be pricey though and wont be nice at say 110k freeway speed's unless you run tall gear's which might sacrifice a little low end speed but not much... The 2spd I'm using was around $5500-$6k for the box alone with no converter, shifter, tran's cooler etc, it's 1800hp rated and has all the fruit though, billet Reid case, transbrake, etc etc... I will probably be using like 2.75 or 3.00 gearing as I am chasing about 170mph or more trap speed's....

I believe the 1836hp de-stroked & dry sumped 3.6ltr engine your reffering to that's all over youtube is going into Spiko's car XR6menace... Car above that ran the 8.2 @ 168mph belong's to Daniel and is a different car altogether, from what I can gather it still retain's it's 4ltr capacity & wet sump still I think, it make's a few hundred ponies less, I'm not exactly sure how much HP it make's but Spiro would be able to clear that up...

Yeah they were sh*tting pineapples when the yank's started closing in... LOL As for the driving they are told to drive non stop, as you can clearly see they stop for nobody or nothing so they dont get bombed or shot....

Beleive it could be the Envy Dyno tuned car of Daniel...

Mean while, driving through down town Broady...

Anybody seen this vid takin by the terrorists of them sniping a medic...

If I were to do it I would get Nizpro to fit it together and tune it...

Awesome mate well done, still with exhaust on and radial's ?? Can't wait to see the vid's....

You picked wrong weekend to come down dude, most people are either at PCM or pissed off to QLD for Jamboree...

Well done Milan, that's absolutely awesome mate, well done... Can't wait to see what it run's with that power if you can put it down LOL!! Was that on E85 or Race Fuel ??

Just read 1836hp and 1258 lb ft of Torque, gota be wrapped with that, can't wait to see it crack into the 2**** somewhere....

Dennis still tune's it out of some undercover Factory in Thomastown which I think somebody in there group own's, has no sign's etc out the front or isn't open during the week I'm told, it's just there to build, tune and work on the bigger car's such as Karmen's, the Acid Green car and Darko's VL etc etc... Speaking of which, I heard there Green BA's Atomic 998GT-R engine went on Competition Engine's engine dyno down here and made good power... Be good on the HWY LOL!!
