Now I'm not sure... but I think that MIGHT have been lifted higher than 3 inches.

Has anyone put 3 (extra) inches of lift in to a RTV yet?

I reckon a lifted trayback RTV would look alright

that vn is awesome. I wonder if the driver has an emergency hoodie, sagging cut springs and steelies in the boot for street cruising though.

And it can do the job well too!...

That VN is brilliant. It has a WTF look to it, but in a good way, and the fact it really is a landcruiser chassis with locking diff etc with an Aussie 304 means that is a win my friend. I WANT ONE!!!!!!!

Yep, the VN is awesome.
I have seen a VX wagon on a landy chassis as well - awesome family touring right there.
Most things 4wd are win in my books.

What the hell is with people and Excel's ?!?!?!

I mean, that 9 Second Drag Excel posted awhile ago was pretty cool, but does one that places chrome hubcaps, a cannon exhaust topped with a ludicrous paintjob on an Excel, really feel like a cool car modder? I think not.

nah, SS is a win nate. I cant be sure, but either that is an absolute animal, or the person who owns it is using it as an intermediate method to change rims over on cars.

Hahah we did the same to my mates VL as that SS! He's got some 275 wide BFG's on 15in Hot Wires which fitted on - too wide for the guards though, the offset was crazy so we didn't actually get to drive it. I'll see if i can post up a pic tonight.

The Campbelltown sign sets it off nicely, although if it had said Lakemba or Cabramatta it would have been better again (Campbelltownians do seem to prefer 1990s era V8s as opposed to ricers). I actually tried to chase down the exact same car on the North side of sydney some time ago to take a photo, but never managed to (he probably knew I was tailing him, pro racer knows all the moves). Then all of a sudden he is back in my life, 50km away on the other side of Sydney. With a red light ahead, no amount of pro racing was going to save him this time.

Yeah, I grew up around Ingleburn/Liverpool/Campbelltown, so I have that same preference haha, just that I happen to have sold my V8 Powah a few weeks ago :( lol.....


I'm surprised that he didn't use his pro racer skills and drive on the other side of the road
