Just to clear up some of the negative comments about this car.

1. It has a hood, and is regisitered under club rego
2. Its cruised often and is totally streetable
3. It won lastyears very prestigous Street Machine of the Year. (Australias top street car honour)
4. It runs tens all night in sydney with some stickyer rubber.

Ive got the last 2 magazine features the cars done in front of me now. One doesnt mention the turbos at all, and the other makes a point of saying he didnt say what they where.

His business 'Redcliffe Dyno' has churned out a tonne of nice cars. ATM hes over there in Yank land taking the cars to shows over there.

Thats what the negative comments were about it in the other thread. Its more for show than go. You only need one turbo to get into the 7's, so if it was strictly for performance, there wouldn't be a need for three power adders. I don't say that to take anything away from it, I can really appreciate the craftsmanship and build quality. It's just that the thrust of the project wasn't for going down the 1/4 in short order.

The thirdgen is still on the road behind it somewhere trying to catch it. It ain't easy catching a twin turbod supercharged car.

I know its a no-no but as stated in the first 3 words of the title "Non 3rd Gen". I just posted it seperatly because it was stating to de-rail another thread.
