2" drop spindles on the front,16" wheels with 50 series tyres fill the guard up pretty quick.Pretty hard to put them in upside down

Can`t lower it any further, scrubs on the front now and the caltracks at the back hit speedbumps.They are hq rims and the offset was supposed to be the same as ek but they could sit in a tad further. Nah havent really had a good run worth videoing yet but theres a test an tune next fri night so I hope to run a bit better. I went the single cam head because this started out as a completely stock na motor with a turbo kit. I upgraded the inlet manifold and afterwards went full house with the rb30, already had the manifold an people are making 600-700 hp with the single cam so I thought thats more than enough for me. In hindsight shoulda started with the twin cam though lol, Too much horsepower is never enough

Prepare yourself to be "given a hard time" with "rumble"

My motor come out of a holden vl commodore, pretty sure thats an aussie car, look at all the new motors an please tell me which one is soley aussie designed an built.If I put in an ls2 or commie v6 buick engine the die hards wouldnt have batted an eyelid, funny eh.I love v8`s as well and was tossn around the idea about selling the ol girl an getting a 68-69 rs camaro big block. Pretty hard though as I built this car from nothing.

I'm pretty sure RB isn't completely racist, just a prob with the Jap stuff

I'm a big fan of Jap engines, especially in motor bikes

Hey ekturbo, just some normal straight 6 versus V8 bantering, your ride is impressive and don't let anyone tell you any different. We all have "personal" preferences and mine happens to be V8's. didn't mean to offend...
