i remember a discussion around this before , i actually emailed ROH and they said it was genuine. Dont know why they would lie about it but anyway either way you look at it that hatch is probably the best i have seen in pics. IMO

Check your old issues of 'Street Machine'.
The car features in 2 issues.

I've always admired it.....for good reason.


late 1993 issue from memory, maybe late 94 - photo shoot was on an indoor tennis court. Mt. Gambier car at the time

Howard, Slaveman did own a very nice Black hatch but it is not this car.

I think the guy who owned it in SA was Justin or Jason?

Yes Alf! Black sux. It was not my prefered colour when I went shopping but what was available.


You know I am only pulling your leg Darkie, Your car is one awsome A9X and I am very jeolous! :clap:

Wish it were in my garage!

Yeah, I know Alf. (leg pulling)

I thought one leg was longer than the other as I seem to keep going in circles!

What shall I do this week?

Awe gee, I might just pull the engine and gearbox out again for fun!
I never seem to tire of that it would appear.

Grumble Grumble.

If it keeps giving me the irits, you may have a chance to put it in your shed.

I have the Two Different Street Machine Mags,that the Black A9X Hatch is in,nice looking A9X. I hope the Ex-Tassy Black A9X Hatch is looking ok these days,any one got any pics of that in Currant form or from its days since it left Tassy.
It had Hotwire Mags,when it was in Hobart,Tassy and its only Black A9X Hatch with White Interior,would love to see how that is these days.

i can remember the discussion about that car before xmas and whether the wheels were photochopped (there was a grey area in the tread where it didnt line up or something?)

my main like about it is that the windows have no tint! :spoton:

I think it's the best looking Torana I've ever seen. The perfect muscle / classy look combined all in one. The black is just sensational. I want one!!

Hard to argue with that!

As for the pics being photochopped, geez i hope not - it was ROH that sent me the pics, decent ones too at 5MB each.

Here's a pic of the car back in the 90's. It's amazing the difference wheels can make, not that there was anything wrong with those nice wide V5 Simmons.

So does anyone know the specs of the new rims? Since the old ones were 15 x 8 and 10's with 285/40 and 345/35's - they look tiny when compared to the new set! Would love to know the sizes...

Notice I said that it might have had a fair bit of post processing in photoshop (meaning highlighting certain areas etc)

The lighting on the wheels just looks artificial to me compared to the lighting on the rest of the car, the shadows of the wheels on the ground match that of the car and the light direction on the wheels seems like it could match the light direction on the car, but there is just "too much" light on them for it not to be a very very well setup photo shoot (with spotlights and some big reflector plates) or they have made some changes in photoshop.

Heres some pics from the Collie Holden VS Ford. From chatting with him i know the car is from over east and he payed big coin for it and has spent alot more on it since being here.

I'll also make a new thread in the W.A section with some of the other local toranas from the day.

Is that an A9X?^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I thought I saw that in a driveway photo shoot based advert about 3-4yrs ago as a replica.

I may be wrong of course.

The tags are removed, it is supposedly genuine but highly modified.

The black is so awesome, its hard to do a nice orange without making it look fake. I'm normally pretty good at this, but its got me.

Photoshopping a coloured car to be black is difficult.
Photoshopping a black car to be anything else is impossible.

No one can do it, so don't feel bad :P
