The old days have truly gone. Where is the talk about double pumpers, Mallory twin point dizzys, double hump fuellys, Roller rockers etc etc.

The conversations on the weekend went along the lines of. Yeah its fully sic with an A4RT1 hooked up to an RG437T overriding a series 2 phase inhibited L61J With twin over head shaved XV67s mounted to a straight through maxed out B42 pushin XR53s @ 12000rpm on 57lb boost. Its just riciulous when the OLS kicks in at half boost and then pulls strong right through to max where the 451GRX! limits the blowback through the cardio mac 2 gizmo.

WTF

Listening to a high performance conversation these days is like eating alphabet soup. How bout a thesaurus for old farts. Post up the letters safc11 for eg and tell us what it stands for. :(

Im with ya on this one Dingo, I'm learning as I go too. :(

The first car I did up was an HQ Holden

I built a full ported, balanced 186 bored out and stroked with a yella terra head, roller rockers twin point dizzy, triple delorto carbs ( Spelling ) etc. Then removed this engine a dropped it into an LJ 2 Door Torana it was absolutely insane. I went thru alot of M21 Gearboxes and Banjo Diffs with that engine. Could never afford a top loader and 9'inch Diff when on $215 a week apprentice wages back in 1989.

Ahhh to be young and stupid again :(

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
