Hey brad, you wanna set up a cruise in celebration of the BEASTIE coming back to life. I'd be keen to do a Cruise run, Barby or Fishin gig as an end product... Too friggen cold for swiming, surfing or snorkeling.

No probs if not. I've been reading the latest fishin news papers and mags, and fawwk me I need to get out there and make the most of the Winter/Spring run of fishin opportunities. Squidding is just about finished, so its fishin that drives me now...

I've curtailed my motorsport participation untill the Slidewise two day skidpan event upcoming next mth - just gotta make sure my auto box is ok for such stuff (that Harop True Track will be working hard LOL). Cruising the hills and sight seeing is fine for the auto as it is - I think.

Too many options and not enough time to do em all... Gawd, life is good and fun filled if you seek it out!!! LOL.

you smart ass

[CalaisRider]

I think it would be exceptional for dissipating heat from the engine bay - which is very practical and usable as an enhancement. But to be honest, the friggen thing is huge and way overdone, I'm sure there is a more sublime and tasteful way of achieving cooling/venting. Just my opinion. First time I saw one of these was about 3 years ago on ol mates Blown GTS - yeh it was a Power Torque / Walkinshaw product.

Yours being same colour coded as the rest of the car is not as stark as some I have seen Brad.

[Darren]

that's incredible Brad!
you must be happy with that,, well done.

and it's a fairly stealthy engine bay with those turbos hidden underneath. Wouldn't suspect it makes such insane power just by looking under the bonnet

[blown vess]

made 827.4rwhp sat night at hi torque very impressed and a big thanks to all the boys at ht

[fx160]

thats unreal :headbang: you rock

[Unit_Zero]

so who one the guessing game for the rwhp ?i had 867rwhp getting close

Excellent result, you would be very pleased with that. Any plans to take it to the drag strip?

[blown vess]

fucking what! god you have no luck at all, how much damage? pics?

[blown vess]

didnt get pics as i took it straight to the panel and was running late for work not much damage just the front bar but pissed me off

[Carbon]

You just can't take a trick can you mate

[Derek VE SS]

not good Brad
Did u get a chance to run it down the 1/4 yet ??????

[Derek VE SS]

pics of damage Brad

[blown vess]

nah didnt get a chance straight to the panl beater and was running late for work

[V8 Calais]

What times are you hoping for? with that power a 9 second pass?

[Street_Dreamz]

I'd guess a low 10, but I think 9's a struggle. Considering OVERKILL runs high 9's and makes 1000hp+ Good luck though, should be a good rush! Hope the cars back to its good lookin self soon!

the ve makes 1000hp+

[EVLHSV]

No Good Brad. What goes through some peoples mind you will never know....
Cant wait to see it with the auto it will be a mad power skid machine :headbang:

[OMR346]

With the power this thing makes, with the right set up, it should easily run a 9. But to be honest, i dont think it would. The set up isnt right for drag racing (unless youve changed it recently). I hope you do crack the single didgets though. Good luck with it :)

Put us all out of our misery and take your car out to Willowbank. Give us notice so we can come out and watch. You should be able to get one run in before they can you for not having a roll cage.

Ill change that statement now lol

Nice work mate. That T400 will definitely help in getting those times down. The shifter looks great to.

[blown vess]

ve is back and amazing to drive cant wait to get some numbers :bouncing:

[Carbon]

Good news Brad. Sorry haven't caught up for a while. Hope all is well. Both cars sound amazing.

[blown vess]

haven't been on here for a while but the ve is up for sale as with work commitments and kids I have no time time enjoy it.This is the most incredible car I have built so far (well Hi Torque built) drive it every day and love it.
Not to many people have 800+rwhp and are able to drive their cars every day but I do.
Not in a hurry to sell it but am looking at buying w427 and keeping pretty much stock lol
I just want somebody who can enjoy such a machine.

$85k which is no where near what it owes me try get a 800rwhp car with street manners thanks to hi torque and can drive every day to build this with car, engine, turbos,build,driveline,electrics $85 was a good asking price

[blown vess]

got the ve back from hi torque the smile on my face when I drove it is priceless incredible car not for sale now

[keith reed]

Now about that trip to the drag strip.

[Carbon]

Awesome. So glad you aren't selling. Was great to catch up on the weekend

[Mark]

Thats great Brad, pity it was a few days late, would have been great to see it going around QR the other day..

[blown vess]

made it on the cover of street commodore

[Carbon]

Thats awesome Brad.

When on sale?

[keith reed]

Well done. Certainly a fine looking car. Perhaps a revisit to the ls1 forum and ask the detractors how well their cars are doing.

[Mark]

Well done on the magazine spread Brad, the car came up a treat. Good job..Did you notice that black VE towards the back of the mag, think I've seen that getting around Brisbane too...:)

[keith reed]

They certainly gave the car a good writeup.

[blown vess]

[Carbon]

[EQUIPE-T]

[OMR346]

I saw this at Powercruise. It sounded pretty tuff. I didnt see the VK though. I would have come said hi but every time i saw your car at the carport, there was no one around.

HT sure did have a big turn out to PC this year. You guys had half the car ports to yourselves lol. I was in carport 12 and a mate (A PSYCHO VX R8) was in the one next to me.

Nitrous on the VK will be fun! have you taken it down the 1/4 yet or had it on the rollers?

[blown vess]

Mate I will be out again soon so come say hello I'm always good for for a chat and the vk looks even better now with all the decals but going down to hi torque for a bit more hp to try and catch the ve (bigger heads 250 shot of nos should be fun)

[blown vess]

our 4wd died last week $10k to repair it so went to buy a wrx petrina was not all impressed with it so she bought a ford xr5 turbo and shit I'm impressed goes like all shit recaro seats brembo brakes 18inich 235 all round.
Sam and I took it out just to see what it good do and holy shit 5cl turbo engine 120 in 2nd change to 3rd and the just pulls hard.

[Carbon]

I love the Focus and especially the RS version. I'd even buy one personally. They are a step up again from the XR5. The RS is to the XR5 is what the XR5 is to the standard focus.

In 'Ultimate' green of course.

Sounds like you had fun as usual Brad

[Unit_Zero]

sore the vk today down at a spray shop down in wynnum looks like it was getting a touch up on the front end
