soo much win

 

props for an amazing effort can't wait to see what the beast get's up to off road and maybe even the 1/4 mile? xD

If you hit ye olde glass house in this shoot me a pm id be keen to come along in the missues grand vitara. Goes ok offroad for a luxury/girls car haha.

Thanks guys, will hit the 1/4 for some laughs, see how it compares to the commo.

will keep the offroad updates coming too!

 

Sounds good ella, shoot us your number, always keen to get some crew offroad.

 

 

Exhaust is all done, sounds like a damn moo moo commodore, wanted it quieter but there is only room for one muffler.

 

Goes hard, shifts hard, and is an absolute pleasure to drive, the missus is going to love it.

 

Steering is lighter because of the commo pump even with the 33s, seriously drives like a much nicer car now, very happy!

very glad to see the end result great build mate

thanks mate, not quite on the road yet, early next week i think.

 

The list from rwc + mod plate guy :

 

1. front bumper parker not working

 

2. front diff mount split

 

3. 2 outer tie rod ends

 

4. rh upper control arm bushes

 

5. adjust steering box

 

6. adjust lh wheel bearing

 

7. find engine number

 

8. 3 tyres no good (stocko ones)

 

Have fixed all of the above, just need to read the engine number somehow.....what a spot to put it in holden! :bash:

ive found the best way to read engine numbers is generally to get one of them mirrors on a stick that repco sell, i did have one somewhere but can't find it or id offer to lend it.

 

i have quite a few mates who like to hit up glassy so ill pm you my number nao.

Wicked man! Pulls hard.

Needs some rock sliders brew!

haha epic dude good to see u out there scratching it up

Yes to sliders! and scratches, missing a fair bit of silver now. bent the sill pretty bad in the second vid too, oh well, good fun.

Such a cool car man. Good to see you driving it how it should be!

A bit of of an update with this thing.

 

Has been serving as my wifes work car since it was finished, has been extrememly reliable, but a thirsty pig.

 

Has had 1" body lift, tyres touched the mudflaps on flex.

 

Went to Landcruiser park, twas good, cheap chinaman cv joint sheared off in the middle with very little abuse, so was a 3 wheel drive for the weekend, genuine reconditioned mitsubushi cv going in next week.

I have some good vids, but need good internets to upload.

 

These are the only still pics i took, so forgive the ghey flex shot pose.

 

 

 

minor damage to the plastic, i will admit the door and sill are crumpled metal underneath.

 

 

 

Also went in the local burnout comp, have 2 vids to upload, locker worked well, 31's were not the ideal tyre size to smoke, but it did a good skid.

 

Pic i found on boostlosing...

 

Lol at skids on 31's.

What is it with swb 4x4's with conversion engines?

Member(not sure if he wants it known who he is) on here has a swb Toyota bundeera with a 7mgte it's nasty on boost and it's still all STD. Gotta love 4x4 gearing!!

Nice conversion. Would be ssoooo torquey down low.
