[VRIIClubby]

*drewls* Looks sweet!

[v8 ute]

That's a real nice looking rig John.

:thumbsup:

[Criso]

Looks nice good colour choice .....I like them plates.Any plans for the engine John? Will she see the strip.
Cheers Criso :)

[XLR8 V8]

makes me wanna give up the sewing machine and get a tonner! Noice!

[LSX-438]

jeez thats looks good

[Haroc]

ffs, my dream car is a nice tonner and all i ever see is good pics or one driving passed me...

/me goes off to hide in the corner

[HOWQUICK]

thanks for the words guys. Pretty happy with how it is coming together....damn side skirts and exhaust were just too much work. :bash:

Got to really thank the guys at TD Engineering for the hard work they put into the tray. Really is the part of a tonner that makes or breaks it's appearance.

Have some parts on order in the engine stakes so yeah it will see the strip as soon as I have the engine presentable. :) Number plate? That's my reaction time at the tree!! :lol:

owned it for over a month.....now it's time to drive it! :confused:

[Rick76]

Looks good! Not that Ive seen many modifies ones but definitely the best looking VY tonner Ive seen yet.

[Red CV8 R]

I love the new 1 tonner and that is one of the sweetest I have seen. I want to build a tonner in deep green with SS front, polished rims, and wooden tray. Topped off with a tough 5.7 litre with a real lumpy cam. Mmmmm :cool:

[Rick76]

How do you guys like these wheels???

[Justice R8]

[VX2VESS]

i recall you were going to do that ages ago, 1 tonner SS bits. look great, nice tray.

[V8BRUTE]

Nice looking rig John, sits really well with the 18's on it :cool:

Seems the 1 tonners are becoming more popular these days :D

[V82xist]

Gotta love the phantom mica on the VYs, well done.

[VooDoo]

[Martin_D]

Nah SS front on a Tonner with custom light tray, all very original. I like it!

[clixanup]

Hey VooDoo - I haven't laughed so hard in ages....

naaaa no offence taken at all. I laughed my guts up. Looks like the original thing that Tuna was after :lol: :booty:

I know one thing for sure....YOU are the man who will be designing graphics for our next race project! Great work and heap of imagination.

The outside one? Man woke up in the middle of the night last week after having that dream....went into work the next morning and insured it!! :eek:

Street Rice! Now I know why I don't work on half engine stuff......nice variation on Road Slow though. :lol: ;) :lol:

Any how went for a blast in it last night and got upto 120kph in the thing....didn't have the radio on as the battery was of and I never reset the code....but man does the diff howl or what? Sounds like a f@#$ing werewolf in the back!! Any one else heard of this? Another mate has a man with 3.46 and he has had 3 diffs in his now.....but the 3.07 rear guys don't seem to have any dramas. Interesting. Looks like the nine inch will go in earlier than I thought!!! ;)

[HOWQUICK]

With Weld wheels (http://www.ls1camaro.net/freehosting/SQP%20Tonner%204.jpg) :confused:

had that look already when the tray was being made. Looks damn cool with the 12s on the back.....can't drive around with them though....been there crashed that! Great aslong as it doesn't rain....... :confused: :(

Yeah, comes standard! :) Can't remember exactly but it's not caused by the diff gears, it's got somthing to do with the bushes somewhere but i don't think theres any revised one's available yet.

Very nice ride BTW!

I don't know about that.....man it is noisy on the drive side but as a mouse on the overdrive. I definitely think it is a lapping problem as it is speed related....bit like the old air raid sirens. The faster the go the more it wails....but the 3.07 have the same bushes but are quiet....which ever way it is not acceptable for a new car.....

[HOWQUICK]

I would reckon if the pricks would make a SS one tonner they would sell well....save all the messing around. Now I have a loft full of left over brand new shit that is good for nought! :rolleyes:

[Fabio's CV8]

Looks very sexy bloke!
Well done! :)

So is this just gona be a work car or we gona see some killer times out of her? :evil:

[VooDoo]

I cant take the credit mate. Some of the OCAU boys have been playing with it.

if only you just waited 2 more months and you will be able to have the real deal SS one tonner out very soon

If anyone in the Perth area wants one PM me. The dealer I'm at does SS tonners. Dash, seats, door trims plus all the exterior cosmetics from new.

[LSX-438]

tell me more Nick..

[Roger]

On a little more serious note....I think the SS 18's look better than the Weld wheels - but hey - its your tonner, so do what YOU think looks good.

Agree though, they should release an SS 1 tonner alongside the ute.

They'd sell every one of them.

Welds for racing. SS for street.

Any one with any news on the tailshaft vibration issue at 200k+ theoretically... ;) Spoke to a mate at a dealer today....diff is common. Bad news is that most of the replacements are worse than the original. He has fitted 3 diffs to one car to get a good one.

Thanks for all the variations fellas. Interesting concepts. :lol:

[Martin_D]

No John, the tailshafts dont vibrate above 200+ km/h
A lad we know got booked going 237km/h in a Crewman with no probbs, and Ive been over 200 plenty of times in mine. Its all smoke & mirrors from the manufacturer :lol:

must just be mine then.........no smoke no mirrors just vibration. ;)

[Martin_D]

must just be mine then.........no smoke no mirrors just vibration. ;)

To say these cars, and especially those rear ends, are variable quality is an understatement.....which is why mine doesnt have the stock Holden bum in it anymore :)

it only ever came with a Dana as per Ford, Holden etc etc..... :rolleyes:

[Martin_D]

Put a decent diff in it. New car after that
Those LSDs are weak, thats for sure

[Plan B]

must just be mine then.........no smoke no mirrors just vibration. Pulled the pin at 220 before the shaft came out of it! ;)


On the street? NICE! :mad:

[V8BRUTE]

Out of curiousity Martin what type of diff did you use, I noticed yours had a finned rear cover when I was checking out your exhaust at the Nationals, I had a good look at a 1 tonner without a tray on the weekend and it was just your normal looking BTR setup, no fins :)

OT, what's the big block of cast iron just to the rear of the u-bolts on top of the spring for ? :confused:

[Martin_D]

Actually John, they LOOK like the same diff as a current Ford ute, but the blue oval version works that much better. Anyone that saw the CAPA XR8 at Heathcote will realise just how much better the Ford unit is packed, biased, whatever

[Martin_D]

I think its time for a big group hug between the East and West boys. They get Sooooo excited :box:
Not sure what you are talking about with the rear end though :hmmm:

Fords are good! We should have taken that CAPA Ford for a lap, just incase?

Hindsight always follows foresight huh! ;)

[Criso]

Irish huh! .....Iwas told he was Chinese :box: :lol:

[Clutchboy]

Where's the rum pig stickers ? :)

It also needs a couple of big aerials and those truck mud flaps.......Maybe some lights would look nice too! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

where was the purple one hiding

gotta love photo"chop" :D

and that sign in the background :lol:

[HOWQUICK]

spring dampers for spring harmonics as opposed to tailshaft vibration and diff whine.......

Tuna,

you haven't had your over 200 on the street now have you??? :confused:

[Martin_D]

Tuna,
you haven't had your over 200 on the street now have you??? :confused:

No John,
I do all my racing on the track mate! :hide:

[HOWQUICK]

No John,
I do all my racing on the track mate! :hide:

no need to hide Tuna. Knew that a goody two shoes like you would have the speed limmiter recal back to 110 for street driving. :D But they are putting a new shaft in mine all the same.

spoke to the dealer today....new diff on order. Then spoke to mate in BTR and some fellas I know in the Ford dealers. Interestingly it seems that they have a universal problem and it comes down to at this point pinion set up and the quality of the pinion bearing with out right bearing failure not uncommon. Found out a whole bunch of other stuff but that is for another day. Ford went to hell and back with the 80 series diff......similar to what Holden is going through right now. But both camps are having issues.

I THOUGHT you were going to say 'when did you get to 200 on the track?'. Getting a bit soft in your old age big boy? :lol:

Had a couple of Fords with these diffs in them through our hands and they have been magic things. Quiet, good LSD operation etc. Have heard of the pinion bearing failure though

[Criso]

Its good to see two mates talking civil to each other :lol:

[Martin_D]

HQ and I have always been good mates! Not like some others around here

[HOWQUICK]

pretty much all the experience I have had with the 80 series has been good. Spoke to a mate with a Crewman who had his replaced...on the DELIVERY REPORT it had diff noise. They gave it to him and when he quizzed them they said "Let it develop" At 5000k is collapsed the pinion bearing and had to be towed from a country town back to Perth.

only reson Iam even bothering with the warrenty is a mate wants 3.46 for his and I want it right to give to him. I get his 3.07 to do my thing with. ;)

[Martin_D]

I get his 3.07 to do my thing with. ;)

Ewww, 3.07, dare I ask?
BTW I can get you a 2.72 if you want

[HOWQUICK]
