Following on from the “Show us your motorbike” thread, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same for those of us passionate about the 4 wheel variety!
I will kick it off…
This may be confusing for some of you American’s because I’m not sure you guys have utes over there???
It’s a 2006 Holden ute with a 6.0L L98 (similar to LS2) V8. It makes 437rwhp and has a T56 6-speed manual gearbox.
That E-type is sweeet! And so is the Holden in the first post.
Besides my everyday car I used to have this:
:
It’s a Ford Escort Cosworth that was tuned up to around 450 hp. Fun little car, not so heavy and four wheel drive.
It’s sold since long ago and now I have this:
It’s the inside of a Peugeot Boxer which my girlfriend and I have re-built to a mobile home that we use on our climbing trips.
Yeah, it will be used for regularity events and probably Targa West and some other tarmac rally events.
The engine is a fully built 3.8L I6 with forged internals, programmable electronic distributor, racing oil pump etc, triple Webers with extensive head work done, it also runs a brand new Tremec T5 gearbox with a lightened ally flywheel and a 7.25” Tilton twin plate cerametallic clutch. The brakes are Wilwood 4-pot superlites.
However, it went in for its final tune today, now that it has some KMs on it and it has completely dropped compression in one cylinder. So the head will be coming of which is really disappointing
There was a Capella here 2 weeks ago for the Historic Touring Car round that my old man races in and it sounded amazing! Could hear it over the V8s at idle.
