Default Um......Shoe horn please

Craig mate,

We need a starter motor for the new Victorian secret weapon.
We figure that little 805hp mill of yours would do the trick.

We may also need a mould from your bonnet scope.

Victoria fast one day; Supersonic the next

Jason - great photo! You had me measuring against the Cobra to see where everything would fit. With the extra space available by using my bonnet, anything will fit

I don't see what the big deal is though - Ford and Shelby had planned this all along. They've even named cars after it.....

Hi all,

Sorry Rod Hadfield has already done it and suggests you don't hit the after burner button or you will melt.

Cheers

Hope you Queensland folks noted the sunshine we had in Melbourne the day we took the photos (the ones REPTYL posted)of the new BIG block that was being fitted to my car. It all went in pretty smoothly although the front end sits a tad lower now and it's a buggar of a thing to start.

Default Welcome to the victor..oops I mean Australian Cobra Forum

Good to see you on board Chris.
Take it easy on those QLD folk; they're a little soft and easily offended.
You'll find you will need to explain things in a little more detail, and not to many big words mate, that just confuses them.

I think that will definitely put him in the "Blown" class. I'm not sitting behind him on the run up to Golburn either. Fuel stops every 10KM is going to be a pain too.

Welcome to the Forum Snaken and Chris D

Cheers

Pete, can you recommend the work you had done at Race Brakes. I was in there earlier this week speaking to Howard and he seemed to know what he was talking about. Im looking at getting my brakes set up in the next couple of weeks.

Andy.

Jason, I need to be shown a few times

Will catch up and you can show me/explain how to get the photos on.

Where do I put the pictures into the computer They keep bending when I push them into the CD spot. Hell I just ripped one
