Orphan
I have another CR kit that I am building; I have called it the orphan as it doesn't have a home.
A long story short this was to be my race car, it is the older CR chassis so that all the go fast bits could be swapped over. Well that plan is now abandoned and I will build the car and sell it when completed. I will see what interest I get and then will decide what state to progress with engineering and registration. I have put some work into it now as it will be going into paint in a couple of weeks. I have it booked in with Contagous Paint, the guy who painted Beejays car. It will be Guardsman blue with wimbeldon white stripes. All components in the car are brand new, except for the steering column. The specs: LS3 Crate Motor Edelbrock competition Water Pump Custom intake Gilmer accessory drive. Aluminium radiator TKO 600 Hydraulic throw out bearing. LSD 3.45 Jag front AU independent rear. Team 3 Halibrand replica wheels.

Good luck with the project Philm, I'm sure you'll find some foster parents for her.
Just a quick question - If it's a CR how did you get that amount dish in the wheels? Looks good, and in my humble opinion, a marked improvement on the typical CR wheel dish. Best of luck |
The wheels are great, Team 3 worked with me on what I wanted to maximize the front face. We even altered the spinner knock offs so they fit inside the rim.
When you look at the car the wheels work and the lack of dish is not as obvious. Phil |
Hey Phil,
Would you have some specs for what you did with the front wheels, The details would be good for those struggling with the limited offset, thanks Dave |
Hi Philm,
ref the LS3 crate motor, how have you done the throttle body and aircleaner? Is the electronic throttle in there somewhere? Thanks |
Dave,
The orphan is the old chassis with the Jag front, so I am not sure what I did will help. Jethrow, I will keep that to myself for a while, it is a very unique set up and I am not sure it works yet. Phil |

Are Holden motors are now made by Edelbrock?
|
Phil has a ford motor without a ford part - so why not a holden made by Edelbrock? The rocker covers look really cool.
This is an awesome build in the flesh - and will be a top cobra when finished with a lot of very very nice quality touches. More like the "awesome" then the orphan :) |

Or maybe my xray goggles have failed, and I can not see through the air cleaner, Oh well. |
Dave you lost the plot when you first started dragging home poxy old valiants. :)

How big is ya screen
Geez Dave have a look at picture 5. Its right there.The manifold, throttle body and control clear as a Mexican summer.
What size computer screen have ya got one of those little skinny 17nch ones**). |
He's even masked up the coil packs / injector rails! Does it have a winged keel? :D

If you can make out a throttle body in pic 5 your doin well. There's not a giant penguin in there as well is there? :) |
Im not saying anymore. Its obvious if you have thought about doing something similar, but its Phils tale to tell.
|
I'm afraid I also lack the Xray vision or imagination to see it.
|
Boys Don't look to hard, you actually can't see what is going on.
The tape is just covering injectors as the fuel rail is removed. |
Wooo Hoooo, this is a day of firsts.
Thats the first time a school teacher has ever told me I am right. Gav, nothing wrong with the Vals, I might be getting too involved though, I have been renamed Boxyopolous. |
