Hi Mando, love your car, i want the LS7, but i'd like to try and keep with a bit of a nostalgia look to the engine, hence considering a dual carb (throttle body) look, radiator header tank etc. doesnt appear to be too many manifolds to suit though, found a few singles however.
Been reading up on the commodore sites as well, looks like 3.7 is a prefered ratio as Gregg says, Speaking to Ian Denner, the lead time on the bits is about 8~12 weeks, time to send the cheque. Gregg, others, couldnt find the ozwheels web site, any body got any new links, i found the address on the web, Minchinbury NSW, just looking for wheel details. pneall, i was thinking to go AP brakes, as you said, prices appear to have dropped significantly, Anybody got any thoughts about shifter posistion on the t56, i saw a mod at CR that moves it closer to the bell a foot or so. Gregg, your welcome to come for a run anytime, we are in the middle of the Bunyip State Forrest, once i get the chassis / Body, we can have a "first bolt" gathering, then a beer and bbq. |
With the gearbox mod, contact Aussie Mike in here.
And welcome along, with a name like yours you must be a decent guy :) |
Really cant go wrong with a classic revival - As an Australian kit I think its one of the better ones, not perfect (none are), but pretty good.
Not wanting to hijack, but I do like the look of the Mark IV Factory Five. Was never a fan of the old body, but the new shape looks awesome. With the dollar at 94c, I would be looking at that if I was starting again right now. :) Heres the new FF: http://www.factoryfive.com/roadster/...ages/mk4_2.jpg (Do reckon the roll bar looks too upright though) |
Hi Dave,
Congratuations on your purchase. I have the same as PNeall and went with the Koni shocks, yes a bit pricey at $800.00 a corner but are a much better shock than the AVOs. Were you looking at an unfinished kit CR in Warrugal? Phil |
Welcome Dave to the world of Cobras. You will love it!
If I was in your shoes I would get a wrecked VE and bolt everything in. You can always go 427 stroker later. I think my AVO's are stuffed too, might have to see what I can do after the Nationals. Ben |
My Koni's turn 20 next year ... be gentle with them and they'll last quite a while ;)

Which model Konis are you guys using?
|
Hi Phil, no I wasn't looking at a cr in warragul, not far from me, when was this, often visited cobra tech there thou, a few superformance cars, one in particular with the supercharged 5.4 gt500 all alloy donk, very nice.

HI Dave,
I bought an unfinished CR, older style from a guy in Warrugal only a week ago. Merv, I am using these shocks. http://www.koni.com/160.html Phil |
hmm
New race car Phil?:3DSMILE:
|
Hey Matt,
Yep, it will be a race car. All the go fast bits off my car but hopefully about 400KG lighter. The plan is to do abit more racing without destroying my car. Phil |
Hoping to get it under 1500kg Phil?
|
He'll be after a set of your tanks straps next Andrew. :p
|
I think my car is heavy because it has a real paint job.
|
