Awesome pics, is/was the white sedan called INOCENT?

What Red Torrie does that engine bay belong to?

Mincer ran in the mid to low 7's, but was eliminated early on in supercharged outlaws.

Yep INOCNT.

Cant remember which red LH/X that bay is from.

Some good photos there... I used to live up the road from Mincer when it was a streeter... that car has just gone from good to better, lol...

Looks like MV454 has one of my polyair bags in the right hand coil ...:-)

You'd be suprised how many people set up like that. A guy who used to work here with me had his PanelVan set up the same.. did amazing things to his launch off the line!

Does anyone happen to know what size rear tyre MV is running? Lower shock mount appears to still be in the same position but looks like upper mounting points have been moved in a bit. Nice looking diff tho, lots of boxing and strengthening going on.

Do you have any info on these polyair bags?
Are they available for lc/lj rear coils?
I've made a few calls but yet to get any results.

Gday Mick, Have a ring around to 4x4 shops!

Polyair springs are just air bags that assist the springs. You can fill them with varying ammounts of air to raise or lower ( stiffen or soften) springs. They're used alot in towing applications and are apparently VERY easy to fit and quite reasonably priced!

Try your local 4x4 shop, or maybe towing/caravan place!

Cheers

Pedders are an agent for Polyair, at least they are here. Let us know if you have a problem getting them.

Apparently the mv454 car is raised 1in higher on 1 side at the back so it launches straighter.If you have seen it launch then you know it goes straight & true off the line.

Any info on the punch up?
