I texted my mate who works there & is his car & he wont divulge except that the turbo cant be bought off the shelf. I do know the cranks been race prepped to rev its nuts off, block braced & all the good stuff is goin in. Have seen the pistons there enough to make a grown man :angel: I think there JE's & the HOWARD rods could hold a building up. It needed a new head because when it blew it took that with it but the heads been ported & they have done something with the valves??? Also there making there own 4" s/s exhaust & a pretty little nitto plenum is getting bolted on. Told them to hurry up because I want mine but they wont start until his is done so we can pick the best bits & do a bee line to getting it done & learn from what they did first time around. I dont think I could live with itoff the road fro 15 - 16mths like he has. Its gonna be a monster either way but he hasnt made up his mind as to what box will be getting strapped it. Manual monster or something that's gonna smack it down the 1/4. It does have a brand new built 4spd with a 3000 stallie but it will smash it so its not gonna be used.

Guest Guests Posted 12/01/09 11:59 PM Share Posted 12/01/09 11:59 PM The hollinger would be in it's own class imo... It's a sequential manual I believe :angel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works though - no doubt. And yes, it's a manual - just like a full dog box or something with straight cut 1-4. He's changed his fone number and I have no idea how the car is progressing.
