WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE

CIVIC TYPE-Racing

Building a street racer is a complicated thing. But with the right direction, it can become quite a simple task. The owner of this car is only 19 years old and certainly has his head screwed on correctly as the package that he has put together flows very nicely. Brodie bought this 1994 Honda Civic a few years back purely because it is his favourite car. He is happy with the current level of modifications but does plan for intake trumpets and a lightened flywheel in the near future.

SUDDENLY GONE

THE RIGHT ONE

FOR THE LOVE OF ROTARIES

At age 25, the owner of this smooth and custom built Series 3 Mazda RX7 should be one happy person. Not only has he built a car that with such an excellent overall package, but he has also built a car worthy to show, cruise, drag and use on a daily basis. Owning a series 2 RX7 prior, Chris also points out that his next car will most likely be another Series 3, but with the bigger 20B motor in place of the normally found 13B. In the meantime however, he plans to improve this current ride with more power, a full roll cage and also the obligatory tubbing of the rear wheels to enable himself to get some power the tarmac.

DROID 2 LANCER

Being 16 and interested in cars is usually kind of hard as you are restricted to driving your parent’s car as you learn the basics of road rules and shifting gears without bunny hopping or burning the clutch. But it must be fun for Aaron to learn and drive is his customised 1997 Lancer. Having always liked the shape of the car and being able to find many parts were two of the reasons why Aaron parted ways with many thousands of dollars to purchase his car. With such an extensive list of current modifications so far and an even larger list of future modifications including a turbo conversion and more interior work, we are assured that Aaron is on the right path to building a show car worthy of the awards that he plans to achieve.

HOME MADE MICRA - THE SECOND COMMING

DR01DY – THE DRO12D RE-BIRTH

Uplon close inspection, the readers will be able to notice that the pictures in this article are infact of two different cars. After selling her last award winning 2000 model Mitsubishi Lancer out of New South Wales because it could not pass strict EPA emissions, the owner Carly was driving around in a MY99 Subaru WRX for just over 9 months. Carly wanted to recreate what she was now missing and for this reason, she is rebuilding her current car to her past car’s specifications. Future plans for the current car will be to re-trim the interior to the same colour scheme of silver vinyl and pink inserts.

SEXY SX

PURPLE PULSAR

THE FASTEST FRONT WHEEL DRIVE PULSAR

Some people know how to build cars a certain way. For some people, it is all about how low they can go. For others it is all about the cruising aspect with the bright paint and the big wheels. But for Rowan, he builds cars to go quick....we say that he has succeeded. Having just run a 11.5 second pass at 127 MPH, this Nissan Pulsar is by far the fastest front wheel drive pulsar in Australia. It must be noted that this run was accomplished with a 2.009 second 60 foot time which is put down to a lack of traction. Rowan’s car has previously set times at over 130 MPH and smaller 60 foot times, so it is a safe bet to assume that the current 11.5 second time is about to beat.

OUT OF THIS WORLD

Having already achieved show car status, Peter’s 1998 Nissan Pulsar has won many trophies within its time travelling around Australia. Winning awards in the paint, audio, illumination, dyno and editors choice fields is extremely impressive for a car that started as his wife’s daily commuter. But for now, Peter is undergoing a full rebuild on the car which he says will shock the show scene with out of this world ideas. Judging by the impact that this car made when it was first released, we can only bet on an excellent return to the show circuit.

Round 4 - 2009 Listen n Loud Series

First up a heartfelt thanks to all who attended the fourth round of the MEA ACT "Listen and Loud" series, held at the newly located Super Audio Installations in Phillip. Owners Pat and Pedro had been working frantically to get their customers' cars ready for the comp, and all performed exceptionally well on the day, taking out a number of places and awards.
The weather was somewhat unkind to us, again, despite a beautiful day on the Saturday and the Monday. Despite the setbacks, a small crowd formed under the gathering clouds, and the competition got underway.

On the 14th of September, the Sydney branch of the OpelAus forums held a cruise which started at Bunnings in Dural. The first section of roadway took them to St Albans Road and then through some windy roads to Old Settlers Road. Although not the usual type of cruise which the average modifier takes though the streets of the capital cities and beaches, this group though that a "quick blast" through the rugged streets of the outer city would be more fun.
