From one Tim to another....Welcome....

I must say, that motor looks like it came in there from the factory !!!

Can you give those other UC owners a rough idea on what was involved in getting that thing in there ?

I didnt see it in the Mag, sorry if its all in there ,...

Yeah, the rims aren't too bad. I'm not a fan of the centerlines, don't like the whole studded thing, but these ones come off pretty good, Warriors aren't they?

Cheers,

G'day Tim, welcome to the forums mate :spoton:

We've never met, but I've been a big fan of your car for years now. Always check it out (and the HR), at all the local car shows, we see you guys all over the place!!

Top marks for what you've done to this car. I too am not usually a fan of UC's, but yours is just a knock-out in every area, and really looks the part. Fantastic looking car mate! Well done indeed.

Next time I see your car, I'll come up and say G'day. I've got a couple of torries, and my better half drives an EH called EHGIRL. Between the two of us, we'll usually have at least one of the cars at the shows...

Cheers,
Brett.

Thanks for the comments LXCHEV, have seen your car around the local shows quiet a bit too, i have also seen EHGIRL around too! Generally its just me and the old man (HR) that go to the shows together. Was going to take the beast down to easternats but a friend is coming fron WA so i have had a slight change of plans but the HR wil probably be there. I may come down for a day for a look so if i see LXCHEV ill come and say g'day. One again thanks for the comments!

how much boost are you running?

8-10 psi, 10psi being on a nice cold night! You can really notice a power difference on a cold night.

The car has had a v8 salisbury diff conversion done, but yes it is much shorter than standard length. From memory it is about 50mm shorter a side over standard.
