Hi All,
I've just moved to Emerald (QLD)
Just seeing if there's any OldHoldeners roughly in this area?
Is there any car shows throughout the year to look out for?
My HR Project is still in Brisbane (no where for it here). Flying back for a week every few months to try and make a little progress on it.
Cheers

Hi all,
Well as you all probably know the motor is out of the VB for now as i turned number 1 conrod bearing so while its out going to make the most of it and paint the bay.
Im going to do it all myself to save costs, hopefully will start the prep this weekend.

Hi all,
The life of my motor came to an end today. Took it on the burnout pad at the drags this afternoon and something decided to let go. From the noise im thinking a piston has gone pop and we can hear the rod slapping around in the block. So time for a new one.
This time not skimping on parts, going all out, going to be a realy strong bottom end and make decent power. so no 14 second passes for that motor.
Hopefully get the motor out early this week ans start disassembling, will post pictures and updates along the way. Sad that it blew up, but an excuse to do the bottom end which i have been wanting to do for ages.
Was a good start to my 1st ever burnout but didnt end well lol

Hi all,
Finally got to the track with the new diff and I'm pretty disappointed. The times went backwards. Best of a 15.1 to the 15.0 with the old diff.
Any suggestions as to what we can do? My guess is the 4.11s don't mix well with the Celica ratios. And we need to drop the ratios or get higher tyres.
Cheers
James

Fantastic, heaps of parts and stuff, I came home with a brand new plan.
Saw a HQ tonner roller with brakes, steering, no panels $100. Also there are some HK rear doors complete with trims handles glass etc for $30 the pair,some one on here was chasing some not so long ago,heaps of go hard parts too, woohoo. Now just have to sell off some of my stuff to pay for the no cost build on the EH, Lindsay.

Hi all,
After i get the new diff next week, im going to have to look at getting the VB painted.
The rust is starting to come out worse in spots and I want to get onto it before it gets to bad. instead of just getting the rist repaiered, while im at it i might aswell get it painted.

Hi all,
Back at the drags once again tonight with the aim to run a 15 with this diff and be happy until i get the new diff next year.
Well, i lined up at the lights for my 1st run, took off and it all felt great, went over the line and was very happy. had a feeling it was going to be my 15 second pass straight away. went and got my slip and much to my surprise it was my 15 alright, not just a 15 either. was a 15.2 @ 92mph. I was extactic.
After 7 good quality runs with the slowest being a 15.3 i managed a best of 15.08 @ 91mph. Im so happy with that. definately was unexpected. and now of course i want to run a 14 with this diff lol. Why couldnt it have just ran a high 15 and not made me want to go back again till i get the diff lol.

Hi all,
Im hunting for more power now in my motor now its up and running.
Ive been looking around at getting a better head for it. How much of a difference would I see from a Yella Terra head? There are always a few on ebay and one good one about to finish in an hour or so. I dont have the money right now but just doing my research.
Also, do lightened flywheels make much of a difference? There are new Yella Terra ultra light ones on ebay but are they realy worth the $500?
Any advice is much appreciated and any other ideas for more power would be awesome.

Hi all,
I'm putting my car on the dyno tomorow at a car show to see how much power it's pulling and I've been doing some research to try and find some rough power figures for n/a 6cyls to see if I'm going to be embarrassing myself tomorow or not lol.
Can anyone confirm how accurate these "RECORDS" are:
