Austblue,
I basically drive it as an everyday car, I will though race it when I get a chance,
I know it is abit overboard, but I want something that looks great and kicks ass, and to destroy a couple of my mates 355 and 360 Ferrari's

currently I have a friend who is a diff specialist, who is working on making me a diff
out of a the latest Holden Commodore which is alot bigger in size, and will be a lot
cheaper in the long run, I already broke the diff housing and am putting another to
get me around intil my mate finishes the Holden diff

Tell us about that. Are you going to even use the stock housing for the diff, or will it be a completely new piece? How did your diff blow out? Were you launching? What exactly happened.
There seems to be a fair amount of tranny/diff specialists in Austrailia. I frequently check exvitermini.com and check up on his progress. He is having a custom tranny made by some company in Austrailia....
Thanks
Chris

I have been working on the car from last November, I original bought a kit from the US, I had the kit installed to the standard engine, I had it running for about 1month
before my external oil cooler burst and my engine lost oil an spun a conrod bearing, I know you would all say why didn't you not turn your engine off, I would of if I knew, as I only found out after I heard the engine knocking and then the oil light comes on after all the knocking.
Since then I decided to sell the T3/T4 turbo and other intercooler and build something really special, All the work was done by Alex from PULSE TURBOCHARGING in Condell Park, It has taken a while only because it took a while to get parts for the engine,
The car has been on the road now for about 2 months, I have been running it in easy, did 2000kms with no Vtec which is a real tease, then I did a further 2000kms with Vtec and 7psi, next we boosted it to 12psi for 2000kms, and now it is a 17psi, but I would of boosted it to 20psi but it needs more spark at higher rpm, what it needs is something like a MSD which won't be long. this will run nicely with the Motec
I will try to keep you posted
