There's roller in the current Unique cars but it looks like it's based on the a Crown chassis and the proportions are all wrong to my eye.

Cheers

And that will give it a good legs on the freeway.

I am suggesting that an AOD or tricked up C4 would be an upgrade, but yes you are right once installed the running cost would be less than a manual.

Looks like the overdrive alone is worth more than a TK0600 mr miz
Geeeez

Talking Progress.

Its slow but going forward matt and i spent a few hours sanding the body back for paint on weds nite got some filling to do and a bit of putty to throw around but its getting closer sent the dump off for coating this week once its back i should be able to see if goes still . had to put on the spare turbo after a quick inspection of the original showed lots of end float and bearing damage not sure what caused it .
will have to keep a lose eye on that the only other turbos i have are bigger and we dont want to have to use them do we wazza. I have a couple of 700 hp and a gt45 which is rated to 1000hp more suited to drag racing .
still lots to do hope to get it painted next weekend.
just got to find the 4" brush and roller.

we dont want to have to use them do we wazza.

Wazza has other things to worry about at the moment.

Wazza is sitting at his Mum's place up at Ipswich, where he had arranged an overnight visit, because he was going to be racing all weekend at Queensland Raceway.

Wazza is feeling VERY low at the moment.....got 5 laps into this mornings practice session, and lost a lobe off the cam......GUTTED !!

Gotta love Motor Racing haven't ya ?

Regards oz.

Thanks Scotty for your very kind gesture.

You're right...it seems I might be in for a sainthood, with all these kicks I'm copping.

Apart from the lousy luck with race cars, I try to look at the big picture and I 'm sure I have nothing to complain about.

Good Friends, Great Family, and fat and happy, so I'll dry my eyes over the next day or so, and be in touch.

Many Thanks,

Warren

Nice push rod\cantilever suspension. Cool.

I suspect matt black will be the new "blue with white stripes" at this years nationals Looks nasty.

Is it too early to start pushing for a completely separate category for ....say....RED RACECARS ?????

I don't like my chances against this new weapon you guys are creating.

I have a feeling that if all the racecars of ANY colour are bunched together at the Nationals, I'll be watching from the rear...mental picture...mental picture !!

Well done guys.....good work.

Regards,
Warren.

Warren, it just scares me period and I'm not even competing against it.

After Spookypt gives Ozvenom are few driving lessons. I reckon OzVenom is sure to get the lap record this year in that beast. That's assuming that Matt holds back and lets Ozvenom take all the glory.

Here you go Scotty.. This helps a bit! I am hopeful, but unwilling to boast that WAZZA will be seeing alot of this at the Nats from me... Scotty of course I'd suggest, you maybe far more confident ensuring WAZZA gets to appreciate and study this rear view with monotenous (spell) regularlity!
