Sneak Peek

[MattyT]

Just drove it home in the rain! Untold wheelspin in every gear! Grin factor plus.

Hehehehe WIN!

If you can give it a weigh that'd be sweet. Let us know!

I didnt think it would be much lighter, but it must be as it flies in comparison to all the 5 doors I have been in. Could just be a very fresh motor though.

Its probably a combination of both as I found out today.
Took the little beast for a spin and let me tell you that I was really impressed, it's an absolute sleeper.
It's an excellent conversion, you'd think it's a factory car.
First gear is useless as anything close to full throttle amounts to total wheelspin.
Well done.

Maybe you should offer this as a kit to customers Loon...

OMG This car is a weapon.

I reckon the motor must have had headwork, cams and a chip. It just pulls like a train.

Anyone know anything about the donor car? It was a charcoal grey vr6 5 door with biscuit / creme leather interior?

Got the headliner in today, its looking tidy.

Needs rego in 2 days. Typical.

I`m just driving it and grinning for the moment.

Take it to the drags or get it dynoed if your so sure . next dyno day will be held In october if your interested . A stock vr6 makes 100-105kw atws where as a chipped/cams/intake/exhuast one makes 115-120kw approx .

14.5 is still the record for a n/a vr6 in Aus

Thanks for the writeup Dom.

I also weighed it the other day and it was 1220 with a tabk of fuel. So probably 1180 with minimal petrol in it.

It was 980ish as a CL. Anyone know what a 5 door VR6 weighs?

Hmmm 980 as a CL? Do ya reckon the 4 door would be heavier Loon?

MattyT got 1240 if I remember correctly when he weighed his car for the track, sounds like you've got a trick motor in there Mat.

[Tim]

mine was just over 1200 with the back seats out and a full tank of fuel. My car has a sunroof as well.
So it seems like the weight difference is negligible.

Perhaps youre just enjoying a fresh engine.
