S15 Varietta

Thanks guys, I know you guys are just down the road, sorry to be a snob, but everytime I see you guys I'm usually on my way somewhere, and don't have time to talk. I should bring the Varietta down some day, although it has some serious clutch problems, and as only the misses drives it, it comes second to the Syclone. I am chasing up some leads on wheels tomorrow, so I'll see how I go??? I might take you up on the helmet though. I did have one, but when I sold my speedway car I lent it to the new owner to use. He ended up selling the car to someone else, and the helmet was included in the deal. (bumer) Jimmy, it does sound a bit silly to race the Syclone, but I believe that it was built for it, so it should be raced!!! My plan (depending on its performance) is to enter Mt Buller at the end of this year. Something I have always wanted to do, and could you imagine the reactions of all those porsche owners, being beaten by a little black truck LOL!!!!

for the kind words about the Syclone. I have wanted one every since they were produced. Also thanks for the input about the wheels. I already have a set of 15"s with good tyres, but I don't think they are going to clear the callipers? I will find out on Thurs. As much as I would love to cruise in the Syclone, I was not able to get ADR compliance approval while importing it . There is only 1 other in Australia, and the owners have spent lots and lots making it right hand drive, and a one off custom compliance before the import laws were changed in 2005. I priced this out, and could end up being around $40,000 - $60,000. This means I will not be allowed to drive it on the street (YET?!). I have a couple of tricks up my sleave, so for now it will just be raced. I will keep you all posted on how rego and compliance works out. Thanks again, and hope to catch you all up soon. Cheers Lehi

Again sorry to pipe in, but I need some help!!!! As mentioned before, my GMC Syclone will be here next week, and I plan on being at the March 1st drags. My problem is, that it is an 18 year old truck, with only 3,359 original miles on it. It also comes with the original wheels and tyres from factory (again 18 years old), so I am asking if anyone will lend/rent me some Commodore patern (sorry, I know I swore) rims, 16" or bigger to go racing. Being AWD I will not be doing any burnouts, etc, just don't want to destory my VERY old original ones. Just need something that could work? Any help would be much appreciated.... Anyone, please post this all over, I am broke from late fees and charges, and really need to show my wife a $15,000 vehicle is worth around $42,000 (which is what I have spent). VERY Desperate. Also require the loan of a helmet, but might have one buy then. Cheers Lehi.

Hi All, Sorry to pipe in, but I would like to know more about Alice Import Group. As you guys can tell by my name I am the owner/driver (as if, my wife owns and drives it!!!lol) of the S15 Varietta. I would like to ask someone if any import is elegible for membership? Next week (Thursday 26th Feb) I finally receive my imported GMC Syclone. Long story short, 1 of only 2995 produced in 1991 ever, and is an AWD V6 Turbo. Factory 0-100 in 4.6 seconds, and 13.6 factory 1/4 miles. I have spend more than 9 months arguing with the govn. about getting one, and customs, and quarentine fee's have cost me over $15,000 more than expected. I purchased it back in June of 2008, and again should be finally here Thurs??? (I hope). Does such a vehicle warrent membership, as it has $12,000 in mods, should be able to give you all a run for your money?!? just kidding, but would be fun Heh?. Let me know, as I have been really busy, and not very active. SO SORRY. P.S. Jimmy, so soory about your car, hope you are gettin another one, or fixin it? Cheers Lehi
