The ride height is SHOCKING atm, but that will be changed as soon as I get it registered (as soon as I get home from vicroads) speaking of vicroads they don't have any spaces free for me to get it registered until NEXT tuesday, which sucks, but i'll be getting the RWC tomorrow.

174rwkw, I don't care if it's off the jim mock dyno, it still goes pretty damn hard and it ran 98MPH at calder which is fairly decent IMO and it fries 245's with ease . I will be going to the track with it soon so we'll see how we go.

Cheers for all the comments guys!

REHAB: Definitely not basic mods man, not as crazy compared to a few turbo cars out there but you can't compare the two. Pretty good for a NA car though! Turbo may be on the cards LATER on though, I just wanna drive it for now :p

Dan: I'll get some more interior pictures tomorrow man.

Ash: I've heard em all now! People won't stop giving me crap :( Guess I deserve it for having a car that high though.

Thats a sweet ride, love the colour.........

All or most of the work has already been done and your one of the few with a good custome interior

Just a question.................... Is that the Standard Ride Height or Higher?

Therefore to see properly I have to wear glasses

Shall I go on to how I lost some of my teeth, well not only did all the drugs they gave me to recover from the Leukemia stuff my eyes up, they wrecked my liver and I had to have a liver transplant in 2000 but before that they had to remove some of my suspect teeth as the mouth is a major source of infection.

DO you want to see the Scar to prove it.......?

Guess you find that funny as well...........

Killer car, I love it.

Almost the same as mine, so much infact it's scary.
I also have an EF with JMM DEV5, plus race headers, plus ultra intake, plus...

wait for it...

an EL XR frount end conversion!

Freaky, I didn't think there would be too many cars out there sharing that spec.

Your interior is awsome!
I looked at getting some nice seats in mine but it was too spendy.
Awsome car, post more pics when ride hight is sorted.
Infact, post more pics of interior.

What was the time for the 98mph run?
(sorry if this has aleady been answered)

Nah, I'm in Sydney.
Did drive down to Melbourne twice to visit the Mock workshop though.

That's a decent time, esp if the clutch was playing up.
I don't think mine would get near that, I'm still running the stock 3.23 open diff.

Are they the original seats re-trimed or complete new ones?
