Why doesn't it ever occur to you that we have members who don't live in the US? Lawler is in Australia. Parts availability (and driver position) are completely different over there. | ||

Yes, 'Update Profile' is IDW slang for 'Australia'. Your viewing experience has nothing to do with realizing that we have non-US members. | ||

As was said im australia so parts are plenty and cheap. Plus their sound mixed with how much they love being raped its an easy pick. Should make about the 320-340rwhp easly and car only weighs about the 2500-2600lb mark so should be plenty [ Post made via Mobile Device ] This post has been edited by lawler on Jun 13 2015, 04:02 PM | ||

Snooping as usual Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,780 Member No.: 32,588 Joined: Apr 13th 2009 Location: what are you doing in my swamp? | I could tell he was down under just by looking at the pictures. RHD+ houses that don't look British/Japanese/guessing he's not in Africa. Also RB availability is not as good in this hemisphere. What happened to the original engine? Those 731 cylinder heads are desirable over here in the states. |
