sad,

How's this for a coincidence?

Rilka's 510 was blue (1968) with NSW plates AKI.

Heres a nice 347 stroker marking 505hp - its a video on a dyno test from a website i just created for a client.
Thought you might be interested.

as for the whole combined daily driver/race car plan..... yea, the enforcers seem to take a dim view of it, and the number of commodore driving wannabe's trying to egg you into a race gets tiring after a while!

edit: ouch! what on earth happened to that poor XA???????

not chasing bulk power, more interested in bulk torque from the stroker, remember, its a daily driver/tow car, not a racer

The meeting was being run by the Holden Sporting Car Club, so some blue pride may have also clouded my judgement.

lol i've almost put the sprint into the weeds a couple of times on backroads, yet to have a decent stack though

that said, there have been times when i've been left wondering exactly how on earth i figured out how to avoid getting myself killed through sheer stupidity!

SWMBO says I have to get rid of some stuff before I can get anymore toys. An EBGT being ontop of the list. In the meantime, I have to settle for what I've got

And don't they look good in blue! I went for blue when I fitted a couple of blue doors (the originals copped a bit of damage :angel:) and decided the entire car should be that colour.

I think mine was a '71. I may even have the original compliance plate here still (it "fell" off)...

QUICK QUIZZ!!!
