It has been pure heaven for me here for the last few weeks.
It has been Coupe city here. We have had 6 here over the last 2 weeks.
A blue CV8 identical to mine was fitted with Harrop HH112. Add a ripshift and a kaaz and 400 horses and one very happy fella was on his way.
As this one left another one arrived, a very unique one :confused: This is in for a single turbo set up

And then I though I was seeing twins
A yellow GTS Coupe came in for a cam upgrade and a Kaaz, and not long after it drove out,we had another arrive.
We have already fitted a very meaty cam to this one, the problem is that the owner enjoys breaking bits like me.

Then a black GTO rolled into the workshop to have a Harrop HH122. On the standard 6 litre motor it reeled off a very nice 440 horsepower at the tyres.
Another CV8 is due in tomorrow to have another HH122 fitted.
Most of you know my CV8, not so long ago we fitted a HH122 to her for Powercruise and I shredded a set of tyres and blew a diff.
Our friends at Harrop sent me up one of the smaller pulleys, and I for one - LUV IT !!!

I have also just fitted a very trick water injection setup

Will that be a kit turbo? or making something custom up?

The white monaro looks tip-top.
Not many white Monaro's around and the Grange front really gives it a nice look, I think.
Too bad for those mirrors though.

Hi Seedy,
The single turbo kit was in the boot when it arrived. I'm sure we will have to make some bits to make it right though.
Thanks for the PM mate , you crack me up :jester:

It caught me out when I first saw it, I honestly thought it was a Grange.
I effectionatley call it casper, it is a rare one thats for sure :)

Hey Josh, what plates have got lined up, I notice you have the old ones for sale. "TT GTS" was available ages ago.
I gotta say, that white one looks a little odd to me. The Grange nose makes the rest of the car look too short, and I think the wheels are a little too small. However that's just my opinion, no offence meant to the owner, if they are happy that's all that matters.
:cheers:
Yes I will be there bright and early Monday morn (bout 6am)your there ken arent you?
The plate ive always wanted came up just a little while ago.

Not a problem, the rocks are a nice touch lol
Was looking to find a phone number and have a chat as you did some work to a mates ute (Con's SSZ) and was interested in some prices (Think its only fair that i contact all the relevent local sponsors first :) ) :)

The white one is a interesting bit of kit Ken ... lateral thinking with the grange front and colour scheme. Not my taste (doesn't have enough doors :D) but Kudos to the owner for daring to be different.
I'm just trying to imagine it with it's arse in the air on V6 springs like ... "some other blue Coupe" :lol: :D
Your patented rev limiter burnouts should be something to behold with the new engine arrangement onboard. Roll on the 24th ...
Re: Sam's link ... when did he get into VW's? :confused: :lol: Any Harrop Blown Combi's in the pipeline? :jester:

I'm seriously looking foward to them too mate - trust me

This was news to me too, we have hippies with painted combies arriving from Nimbin wanting 400rwkw and maf tunes :jester: The buggers are hard to source parts for and everyone wants to pay in this funny looking plant leaves.

Is that a Hydroponic Set?

Kind of looks a little like one actually....cheeky bugger.

I see some of us know Josh a little too well :eyes:
When I left yesterday Josh, there were parts all over the floor being arranged like a jigsaw before putting it all together.
Not sure about the yellow GTO coupe, will find out though
