Good to see the Luxy all running good again. Looked like you were having a ball out there with some good runs. I'm sure it wouldve been quite an experience with the Full Race Fab Hilux right beside you screaming its head off and melting some tyres, haha.

Well guys, just thought I would share my little 10seconds of fame video of the Hilux. This is taken from the One HD tv show of the event. Not sure how many of you's on here are actually familiar with our Winternationals. But it is described as the largest annual drag racing meet outside of...

Must have been tough having to slow the streetcar down to run 9.0's? :p Haha. How are you guys finding the Caltex E85? I'm planning to start the E85 conversion on mine after the APSA shootout on the weekend, and I am going to be running the Caltex version too.

Love the Aero RX7, such a tough little build. Exactly how a blown car should sound! Nothing better than the sound of an angry, methanol guzzling, V8 with that lumpy, overdriven, blower note.

I imagine there would definitely be a few people lining up for the chance to purchase the old engine if he ever did decide to sell. As much fun as it would be to see the results of it on meth, like you said, takes away from the whole streetcar theme in a big way. Well Paulie, the competition...

Congratulations guys! As already said, definitely a well deserved achievement. I'm sure Joe must have one heck of a swell head after hearing the news? Haha. Even if you guys arn't lucky enough to take out the prize, it is an honour just being featured in such a magazine let alone nominated for...

They do certainly seem to be getting it sorted now. Has come a long way from the mid 11s it was running only last year. And he thinks there is still some more left in it. I noticed he had a 'radial outlaw' sticker across the back window too so may be hinting towards his intentions at some apsa...

Thanks for all the advice guys. I'm 99% sure that I am going to take the plunge and change over as the benefits just seem too good to pass up, just need to check into a couple more things. The one main thing that had me concerned was the ethanol content changing in the pump stuff as that is...

Do you mean you made more power on less boost changing to E85 or more power than the supercharged setup? Is that just straight from the pump variety fuel too? I have not really found any downsides yet either, I just want to do my research and be 100% sure before making the change.

Is that what you were running in the Celica Justen?

Just thought i'd let you know that blue hilux run a pb on the weekend. 8.64 @ 153mph. Still on radials too! The thing is just an animal to watch and hear. I have even got a new pb out of my luxy now too, ended up running an 11.64 @ 116mph. It has just been loving this cool winter weather...

Well there may have been no pb's produced but at least the ol girl is back on track, going strong and showing potential once again. Definitely would have been a nice added bonus to bring home a couple of unexpected trophies. Looks like it was another great weekend, apart from all the bitching...

Can't wait to see that happen. Box definitely looks the part, no doubt filled with some nice goodies too. Yeh it is a pretty tidy setup all round. He had it out again the other week, managed a 9.12 @ 157mph with some fuel surge issues. That is on street radials too, albeit some generously...

Yes, a nice little quick money making scheme for SD there isn't it... Well it will be good to see the outcome with the new box, it should definitely be up to the task if recommended by Campo. Just finished reading through the latest Street Machine. I have to say, what a great feature...

I see you couldn't twist his arm far enough hey? Oh well, I will have to wait til you guys come up this way now, haha. Looks like it is shaping up to be a good meeting though, pretty descent entry list for all categories. So who is building the box for you guys anyways?

Thanks Paulie. Haha, yeh that is the way I am looking at it. That was in full street trim too, so a little bit more time to be found there yet hopefully. We are bringing our Capri down to race at that meet along with a few other local racers, so it would definitely be awesome to see the Lexus...

See what you get for using that nasty GM stuff!!! :p Certainly left pretty damn hard though. Can't wait to see the full quarter results if it keeps that attitude up. Are you guys planning to run at the Nitro Champs? On a side note, I finally got my 11 second pass out of the Hilux! Was only...

Haha, yeh I havnt seen anything around the internet about it apart from those few videos. Unfortunately I don't have anymore details on it, only had a brief chance to speak to the owner last time and havn't seen him around since. Been hoping to run into him again to find out abit more...

By the way Paulie, you mentioned about there not being many videos of 1uz powered vehicles around the net... I'm not sure how many of you here are familiar with this Hilux but it is a local ute from around here, the owner has his own fabrication business and as far as I am aware has done all...

Great results considering the circumstances. It is unreal the numbers you guys are getting out of the old girl, especially for such a docile streetcar. That car right there, is the definition of Jekyll & Hyde! Awesome work, let the numbers roll.
