QUOTE(91nav @ Apr 21 2007, 05:30 PM) [snapback]1280987057[/snapback] hey mate dont know if this has been asked, but you got any plans for your next project?? just wondering, will most likely be as sweet as your lux if not better. hahaha nar u r the 1st person to ask..... it will not be until next year as ill be finished uni then and can really get stuck into something and i can guarantee it will be better the my current lux as im not gonna build something not as good. everyone will have to keep posted, i can guarantee it will have the lexus v8 engine but they are unbelievable, this time it might have a couple of ball bearing turbo's hanging off it as well   who knows

I must admit, (not being a big fan of utes ) that you've really put together something which demands credit |

More of this! more pics! yeah i get a heap of commodores etc wanting to have drags. it goes hard, my dad has an 02 hsv gto with exhaust etc and the lux pulls away from it. it puts a sweet grin on my face when all these mad dudes wanna laugh at it when they drive ss utes etc and i pull away hahaha |

QUOTE(booflux @ Jun 13 2007, 08:35 AM) [snapback]1281150421[/snapback] Duce, mine is in a 4wd and with 4.8s and 33s it managed 210 Hp at the rear wheels. Given this one was in a 2wd and was probably tuned more for performance than torque it would probably be more than mine again. Yeah i never had it dynod ( i was spewing because a week after i sold it i was rang up by the co-ordinator of the bris hot rod and street machine spectacular at the ekka and asked to have it entered, and there was a free dyno there) Yeah as booflux said i would expect it to be more than 210hp at the wheels. It is power to weight ratio why it goes so well. My mate was a supercharged 2.7L hilux, its an extra cab with styleside so a bit more weight. His dynod 238hp at the tread and my lux pulls away from it with a bit of ease. I would expect it to be around the same, however my lux is a bit lighter (dont be confused the tray is made from steel so it can hold the arse end down, so it weighs more than it looks) QUOTE(MR_NATTY @ Jun 12 2007, 08:53 PM) [snapback]1281149504[/snapback] tell me if im wrong but at one stage wranlgers came stock with a sub but i think it was only a 10inch good 2 see ya got a 4by dont know, hope they do these days... well mines only a 99 and its got a pretty shitty stereo, well did have. Maybe the renegades have a better one, i can assure u this sub thumps though haha, i love my music too much
