Really like the CB70 idea

You might want the sports seats & steering wheel before rego
- engineering approval is required for them in most states.

Depends on where you are... put your location in your profile

Ahh yep, location is fixed.

I cant wait to get started with the CB70 conversion. I miss having a fast manual car. The falcon is only auto
I didnt realise I needed an engineers for the seats and steering wheels. I had race seats in my old XF for a year and never got asked about them. Probably need an engineers for the cage too.

Maybe rego can move down the list a little

the done list....

1) Custom dash with guages
2) Brakes holden vented 9.2"
3) Wheels 12" performace
4) Engine 1480 Graham Russel
5) Exhaust
6) seats (cobra classic low backs)

to do list...

7) turbo and intercooler
another gear box after I blow the 1st one
9) anbother diff as the first one goes
10) another diff and box' as they both go again....

stock head so its only running bout 100-110 hp with the stacks on.... not too bothered about head work until the turbo is bolted on

it has a lot of torque.... enough to spin wheels easily.... too damn easily in the rain... was very scary last night couldnt see, lot of rain and a motor that likes spinning the wheels > ouch

Ouch? Why ouch?
What did u hit?

not a scratch on it Just a little hairy coming out of relatively fast roundabouts with trucks up your arse..... and yes, they did hurt

wheel spin > fun
Wheel spin on wet roads with oil on em > scary but kinda fun

Fix oil leaks and modify motor it it so they don't re-occur.
Modify pedal assembly so the MC connecting rods can be removed in 2 minutes with no hassles.
Unbrako bolts in manifold
Modify engine mounts for easy removal
Fit AC
Pulsar ignition or....
No distributor...I'm working on this.
Anything else I can do to make it easy to work on
Electronic speedo to eliminate cable. I know how to do this.
Fully adjustable suspension front and back, so it can be Wheel aligned properly.
