"I hokona mai e au taku Dart mai i tētahi hoa i te tau 2009 pea; he sedan rua-pou '67. I te tīmatanga he slant six; kātahi ka he mild 440, he mea kua mahia e au i roto i ngā tau i Tuned, engari i whati te tokotoko i te 5500rpm i roto i te Mopar Rātapu 2019. Tata tonu ahau ki te whakaora i tōku mahunga (kua whati tētahi) ā, i waimarie ahau ki te whiwhi i tētahi hole 440 tauhou hei aukati i te mea e tatari ana ki a ia. Ka hangaia e Val te kapa patu o ngā kaitākaro."
I tīmata a Ash Knowles, he tohunga Mopar o te rohe, ki te hanga i tētahi miihini 494 ngāwari me te huihuinga hurihuri Scat katoa, ngā piston SRP me ngā kāmera roera waipēhi Howards (0.600″) me ngā tappets. I muri i te raka, me whakatika e au ētahi o ngā pane Eddy RPM. Ka whakamahia hoki e ia te 850 Quick Fuel carb me te ICE ignition.
He B&M 727 te Auto me ētahi tokotoko Hurst maeneene, ā, i te hanganga o te mīhini i whakairihia e au ki runga i tētahi pokapū konumohe poto 9″, 35 spline me ngā toki Dutch. Ko te taraiwa tuatahi o te huinga hou i te ara Murray Chrysler.
Ngā mihi ki a Ash Knowles i te mea i mura tuatahi i runga i te wakatō i te pō i mua i taku wehenga atu, ā, i pai te mahi i runga i te COTM engari he koiri mura kua pakaru. I rehuhia anō hoki te tatau kua kati i te ono tau ki muri i muri i te rakuraku i Mopar Mayhem. He pai ki ahau te taraiwa, ā, ko taku pailate tuarua tonu te taraiwa. "Whakaahua: Luke Hunter
"He XD tau 1980 tēnei i hangaia e au. I haria ki ngā whakaaturanga tauhou, ā, i whakahaerehia he haerenga whānau i ētahi wiki mutunga o te tau. I mahi ahau i ngā mea katoa mai i te tīmatanga, engari kāore i te mahi miihini me te tuitui nohoanga hou."
E whakahaere ana i tētahi miihini 351 tino pai te hanga, he mahi teitei me ngā piston SRP i hangaia, ngā kāmera tiriti Crow nunui me ngā roera roera, e tuku ana i te mana ki tētahi C4 kua hangaia ki roto i te TCT me te tūnga 3000rpm.
Kei muri ko te spool Dana 78 me te 3.5:1 gears. I te mutunga iho, i mahia ki te paerewa teitei ake i te whakamahere tuatahi. Kua paku kahakina ahau! Engari he terema tonu, ehara i te kuini o te wakatō – ahakoa te āhua nei kei te ua tonu!
"Koinei taku Saleen S331 F150 o te tau 2006 me te pūkaha 5.4L 3V kua whakakahangia. Ko te nama hanga 63 tēnei, ā, ko taku mahi o ia rā. Kei roto i ngā whakarerekētanga ko te pane SS 1.75″ 4-i roto-i te-1, te kātene rere-rahi 3″, te ngongo-X me te putanga hau taha rua 2.5″."
He pūreirei 10 psi tōna, he tuke whakauru kua hangaia, me te pouaka whakauru me te pouaka hau 5 inihi. Kua tukuna te taraka ki raro i te 2.5 inihi me te whakatārewatanga ara me ngā pae ārai-hurihuri. Nāku anō i mahi ngā whakarerekētanga katoa me ngā mahi wheketere.
E 345hp te kaha e hangaia ana e ia i te 10psi, ā, he ngāwari noa iho te whakakā i ngā 305/40R23. Nā Steve rāua ko Elizabeth Saleen, ngā rangatira o te kamupene, taku taraka. I te mea ko ahau tētahi o ngā tāngata tokoono anake i Ahitereiria, he maha ngā kōrero e pārekareka ana ki aku tamariki kia tukuna rātou ki te kura e ia.
"Ko taku 302 Cleveland-powered 1971 XA GS Fairmont tēnei. Koinei te taraiwa o ia rā i roto i tōku whānau mai i waenganui o ngā tau 1990 tae noa ki te tau 2009, i te wā i homai ai e tōku pāpā ki ahau i te 19 o ōku tau."
I hokona mai tēnei waka tino tika, tino taketake, kāore anō kia whakatikatikaina e tōku pāpā mō te $1800. He maha aku maharatanga pai mō ngā haerenga rori, te tō i te poti o te whānau, te weranga o tōku pāpā i te wā kotahi, e rua rānei, te ako ki te taraiwa, te mau i taku waka reihi L i te huarahi nui, me te (e kīia ana) te tahae i tētahi waka i ahau e 17 tau te pakeke i te haerenga o tōku pāpā ki te hī ika me ōku hoa.
I waenganui i te tau 2010 me te tau 2013, i tū te motuka ki te ara waka o Pāpā i mua i tōna nekenga ki taku whare pupuri taonga. I te tau 2017, i mate taku whanaunga i roto i ngā āhuatanga pōuri, ā, e mōhio ana ahau ka taea e ngā mea katoa te huri i roto i te wā poto, nō reira he aha e kore ai e hanga i tētahi motuka me te pārekareka ki taua motuka me te whānau, kaua e waiho kia waikura?
Nō reira, i te marama o Oketopa 2017, i tukuna atu ki taku hoa pai a Glen Hogg me te mahere ki te whakaora i roto i ngā tau e toru, ahakoa pēhea. Neke atu i te whā tau, kua mutu! Tata ki te rua tau ki tāwāhi, i taraiwa ahau mō te wā tuatahi i te Pō Kirihimete o te tau kua hipa.
"Koinei taku VH SL Commodore o te tau 1983. He maha ngā tau e pupuri ana ahau i tēnei. Ko te motuka reihi tēnei a taku koroua, e taraiwa ana i te 253. I hanga e au he 355 stroker mōna i te tau kua hipa, ā, he nui ake ia i te mea tawhito 253. Kia kaha ake te mahi!"
He poraka VN 304 tēnei me ngā porowhita Scat 355, ngā tokotoko hono Scat, ngā whakaurunga mahi taumaha me ngā takirere whakaurunga nui ake, te whakaurunga teitei o Harrop, ngā warowaihā tiriti 750 Holley HP, ngā kāmera totoka Camtech, te Rocker whakarerekē 1.65, te piston nui rawa 30thou, te MSD 6AL me te MSD billet dizzy. He nui te wā me te kaha i pau i ahau ki tēnei motuka, ā, i ia wā ka pēhi ahau i taua kī ka tere ake te pao o tōku ngākau.
I whakatakotoria e au ki te wāhanga In The Build i te Whiringa-ā-rangi kua taha ake nei, ā, kua oti i ahau te miihini, kua tāuta hoki ki te rehitatanga o te karapu. He whakatutukitanga tēnei e tino whakahīhī ana ahau.”
"Anei taku '69 Charger R/T. He motuka ā-ringa 440ci/whā-tere mai i Kentucky i kawemai ki Ahitereiria i te tau 2006. He nui ngā take waikura, nō reira i hiahiatia ai te wawahi katoa me te whakakapi i te maitai 90%: ngā reera anga, te papa, te muri, ngā parirau o mua, te taupoki – me whakakapi katoa ki ngā wāhanga OE hou."
I whakatau ahau ki te mahi i ngā mowhiti me ngā whāriki o te mīhini, engari koinā te mea nui – ngā tokotoko hono, ngā piston, ngā takirere, ngā manifold, ngā kāmera – i whakakapia ki tētahi mea hou. Nō te Viper 2013 ngā tae o waho, ā, ko te roto he hiako te whakapaipai.
He karāhe hou e waru ngā wāhanga, he parepare me ngā rama hiku hou, me te mata whakarara kua hangaia anō, e tū ana i runga i ngā wira Streeter 20-inihi. He tino pai te tangi o te putanga hau kowiri tira e toru-inihi te roa!
"Ko Alex ahau, ā, e 22 ōku tau. Nāku tēnei XC Fairmont o te tau 1977. He motuka hou tōna, he Cleveland 408ci te whiu, me tētahi poraka pere matua e whā-poro, ā, kotahi tau me te hawhe te roa o taku hanga."
I hangaia tuatahitia tēnei waka e tōku pāpā i ngā tau 16 ki muri; he 302 Cleveland tōna i taua wā, ā, i whakataetae ia me te hauota. Kātahi ka whakakahangia e ia taua 302 ki te turbo, engari kāore i taea te aro ki te whakanui. Kātahi ka maha ngā mīhini, tae atu ki tētahi atu 302 me te rammer tunnel 351. I te tau 2019, i homai e tōku pāpā ngā kī ki ahau. I tangohia e au te rama, ā, i whakahokia mai he carby me te kete hauota. Ko te PB o taua 351 he 11.87@111mph.
Engari i ngaua te kāmera, nō reira i unuhia e au, ā, i whakatau ahau ki te hanga i tēnei mīhini. I taku mahi, i whakangawaritia, i peitatia anō te wāhi o te mīhini. Ka peitatia anō te tinana i tētahi wā. Nō nā tata nei ahau i hoko mai ai i tētahi Paul Rogers TH400, he 1200 hp te kaha, he ā-ringa aratau whakamuri, ā, he pēki hoki nā te mea he nui ake te mana o te mīhini i te kaha o te C4 iti.
He iti noa atu ngā mea me whakaoti e au, pērā i te kete hurihuri me te parakaiti mō te motuka reihi me te 9″ kaha ake. Ko taku whāinga mō tēnei motuka he oma i te Drag Challenge, ā, e hiahia ana ahau kia eke ki te 10″ iti, ki te 9″ teitei rānei. I taraiwa ahau i tēnei motuka mō te Summernats 35 mai i Tasmania.”
"I te tau 2018 i peitahia anō taku VE Commodore 2007 mai i te Phantom Black ki te VS HSV Cherry Black e Nathan Utting o Utz Kustoms, ā, i 'whakakorea'. Koira te wā i whiwhi ai i te mana Dark Demon (DRKDVL).
Nā Rob o HAMR Coatings mātou i whakarato ki tētahi tae HAMR whakamiharo, motuhake hoki. I Kut Kustomz, i tāutahia he kakau o mua hou me te whakawhiti ECM, ngā taha o Maloo kua whakahoutia, te ngutu o muri HDT me te whakarara kakau o muri G8, i roto i ngā tae hou.
I te marama o Hānuere 2020, i pāngia te motuka e tētahi aituā i pakaru ai te taha katoa o te taraiwa, kātahi ka pā mai te COVID, ā, ka huri te motuka mai i te mahi whakatikatika me te whakaoti ki te peita anō i ngā ritenga me te maha atu. I te wā o te whakatikatika, i kite mātou i ngā tāngata o BNB Products, ā, i whakarite i te roto kia rite ki te peita.
Hei tāpiri atu ki tēnā, i tirohia e mātou ngā taipitopito pai katoa, ā, he maha ngā wāhanga whakapaipai ritenga i hangaia e mātou, tae atu ki ngā pereti pakaru, ngā tinei ahi me ngā whāriki papa, ā, i tono atu hoki mātou ki a Unspoken Design kia hangaia ētahi rama matua ritenga.”
"Koinei taku Mustang '66. He kaupapa tonu tēnei. Nō nā tata nei au i hanga anō i tētahi Clevo 377ci stroker i roto, ā, e 460 hp me te 440 lb-ft te kaha o tana mīhini utaina runga e whā-tere, ā, e 3.5 ngā taputapu. Ko te rerekētanga 9″ te whakaoti i te pūnaha taraiwa. I waimarie ahau ki te whiwhi i tēnei motuka mai i taku koroua i muri i te ngaronga o taku Mk2 Escort (i patua e tētahi taraiwa haurangi) i a au e hoki ana ki te kāinga mai i te whakaaturanga motuka o te rohe. Ko taku tumanako ka pai ki a koe!"
"I hokona e au tētahi HG Kingswood o te tau 1971 i te tau 2018, he 253 noa iho tōna. Ko te mea tuatahi i mahia e au i muri i taku hokonga mai i tēnei waka ko te whakaheke i te whakatārewatanga o muri, me te tāuta i tētahi huinga Auto Drags. Kātahi ka puta mai ngā mea he nui ake te hōpa. E hiahia ana ahau ki te ōrite ki te āhua hou pakari, nō reira he carby LS1 tōna, he mea ngahau. He tino pai mō te pō raumati!"
