  Issue 6 - Adam Bonsall's VE SSV 60th Anniversary Sedan

  In 2008, Adam Bonsall bought a brand new VE SSV 60th Anniversary model in phantom. Soon after, the mod bug bit and the car began a journey of change. In the beginning it was the simple power upgrades including a F1 2.5” catback exhaust, headers, cats, otr and a tune. He also lowered the standard ride height with a set of Pedders XA Adjustable coilovers and added the void buses to the rear.In Australia we have Walkinshaw and Harrop. In the UK, an equivalent is Wortec. Wortec supply all sorts of wonderful treats for the VXR8 and VXR500. In 2008, they released a special car. Taking a black VXR8, they added black GTS rims, painted the massive callipers orange and added an orange stripe down the side. More importantly they added a Harrop 122 Supercharger, bi-model exhaust and lowered it 35mm. This car was called the Carbon Edition.As Aussies, we love to give the Poms a hard time. The recent Ashes loss instilled this even more. Despite the love hate relationship the two countries have, both have done the other favours over time. In 2003 HSV and Vauxhall began an export program where HSV exported a HSV Coupe to the motherland as a VXR500. It was a huge success and in 2008 the E Series Clubsport was exported and sold under VXR as a VXR8.

  All Star Classics & Customs - Mustang Build

  This 1967 Mustang was built for Marcus (Our resident Yank) who imported this 67 Muzzy from the States with the ambition of giving it a tidy up and selling it on. Things got out of control... This is how the car arrived, some body work done but still essentially a project. The motor was screwed together by a mate in the States and features one of the biggest cams you'll ever hear in a 302! Visit www.allstarcarparts.com.au or call 1800 85 CHEV or (07) 3806 8421

  Issue 9 - Holden vs Ford Skidpan Day at Slidewize Gympie

  In the morning the testosterone level was off the scale, everybody was jumping hard onto the loud pedal and making lots of noise. This is the non-competitive part of the day, good time to get into a groove and work out what you will need to do later. The tune from the three 6L Holden V8 engines was audible from a long way away.. possibly from Neptune! The morning went rather fast with everybody having two 4min drives at each 'track'. First track of the day was the 'Superman' track, Its largely a huge 'S'. This was followed by the 'Controller' which resembles a game console controller and last track was the favorite of the day, the #9. The #9 is layed out resembles the channel 9 logo with a very tight hairpin at the bottom. The 9 can be a difficult track to master!

  Issue 9 - Lee Dalton's Ford Falcon BA XR6 Turbo Ute

  You know I’ve always been a Holden fan. I am a man that appreciates all vehicles but I’ve never got the feeling of wanting to own a Ford. Now I gotta tell you, ever since Ford released the XR6 Turbo I’ve been having urges and cars like Lee Dalton’s XR6 Turbo utility are really not helping. I think I might just have to swap camp. Of course it’s hard not to like this car no matter which side of the fence you’re on. Just look at the way the colour compliments the smooth yet sporty lines and how those wheels suit the car perfectly 4L turbocharged straight six donk is pretty tough from the factory but Lee’s motor is twice as tough with the modifications almost doubling the horsepower and providing the occupants with a ride that they wouldn’t normally get with a stock Falcon. It is a real credit to Elite Automotive who built the car. . . . .Photos by www.autoshotz.com.au
