I'm probably gunna get bagged out for this, but my first car was a 1978 VB sl/e commodore with a worked 308, turbo 400 tranny and a nine inch. It ran 13 sec quaters and had a top speed of about 240km/h.

I've still got it and am planning to rebuild it (make it even faster), as soon as I finish saving up for an R32 GTR.

95 Hyundai Excel 3 Door Hatchback......Laugh all you like. Punished everyday of it's life, has driven over 310 thousand K's and still going strong. It has been the best investment I have made to date.

Mods: One big arse stereo (in it's day). Infinity Kappa splits, 6X9's and a 12 inch in the boot. Recall racing a "Devil Yellow Mini". Now those were the days. LOL

1979 Torana

- 202 stage 1 with a stage 2 cam (about 25/65), Genies, Holley, the usual stuff

- M20 & about 3 or 4 diffs (kept braking them).

- yellow with a black bonnet, hotwires (heheh) & no bumpers

- plenty of camber 225s on the front, 185s on the back for dodgy dorifto Oz Style

My first car:

GTR R32 T88-33d, Cams, etc etc etc....

400kw@ wheels

Lucky first car aye!!!

So your actually dead right & this is like the brother or relative telling people what your car was? FMD 400kw @ the wheels for a P plater is a tad extreme.... I hope Daddy didnt buy it.

:headspin: I'm amazed at the amount of PPl who can afford the $$$ to get something pretty flash as a first car!?!?

1. is it that either someone else fronted up with the money for you, or

2.you used other peoples cars for most of your early driving life, or

3. you lived at home riding the train / tram / getting a lift, not spending the money that you earnt??? :headspin:

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
