My car is for driving.

Hmmm, my car is for image & street performance...The locked diff is good for straight line acceleration & a bit of drift fun. As long as I can beat any stock holden & ford I'm happy. The 297 kw Maloo ute has been the closest runner.

Hmmm

Why did i build mine ???? Probably because i cant help myself what ever i get i gotta fiddle, car .bike .boat, truck, they all gotta look good and go well , now i gotta start on my sons cars (another R32 and 180SX ) I think giving up smoking would be easier than to stop playing with a mans toys we gotta have em

EVERYTHING!!! :)  want to be able to achieve some reasonable times at both drag and on the track... am also looking at doing abit of drift as well, somewhere along the way :) 

And all this with a daily driver :)

This person here is the reason for my pfc, fuel pump, fpr, and cat upgrade....

I blame mona.

Everyone, blame mona.

lol :)

Just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is building/built their car for and what their goals are for it

So....you asked the question but havent answered it......why did you build your car?

I heard it was to get the straightest AFR dyno graph on SAU?

I'd like to do well enough with drag racing that I get enough sponsorship that it can pay for itself, like my fuel, tyres, entry etc all is taken care of though this is a long term plan it gives me something to work towards :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
