“Ndigqibe ekubeni ndithumele iifoto zesakhiwo sam sangoku. Saqala ukusebenza njenge-Commodore VE SS-V ka-2006, kodwa ndayakha njengesikhumbuzo kwi-LX SL/R 5000. ngelixa wonke umsebenzi woomatshini wenziwa nguJason kunye neqela lakhe eCartech Australia e-Albury.
Isebenza kwi-6.0L L98 ene-Holley tunnel ram, i-throttle body kunye ne-EFI. Ii-piston zii-SRP flat top pistons, ii-Scat connecting rods kunye nee-bearings ezintsha. Ingaphezulu inee-Crow cams, ii-Higgins heads, ii-LS springs kunye nee-LS7 pushrods, ii-ARP bolts kunye ne-25% lagging balancer.
I-Transmission yi-TH400 ene-stall ye-2900rpm kunye ne-B&M Stealth Pro Ratchet shifter. I-Transmission yi-TH400 ene-stall ye-2900rpm kunye ne-B&M Stealth Pro Ratchet shifter. Коробка передач — TH400 с коробкой передач на 2900 об/мин и храповым переключателем B&M Stealth Pro. I-Gearbox – TH400 ene-gearbox ye-2900rpm kunye ne-B&M Stealth Pro ratchet shifter.变速箱是TH400，具有2900rpm的失速 kunye neB&M Stealth Pro 棘轮变速杆.变速箱是TH400，具有2900rpm的失速 kunye neB&M Stealth Pro Коробка передач — TH400 с остановкой на 2900 об/мин и храповым переключателем B&M Stealth Pro. I-Gearbox – TH400 ene-stop ye-2900 rpm kunye ne-B&M Stealth Pro ratchet shifter.Ipeyintwe ngePPG Holden Absinth Yellow, ikhowudi efanayo neLX SL/R 5000.
Umzimba unebhampa engasemva kunye nee-headlights ze-S1 HSV Senator, ngelixa i-hood, i-spoiler kunye nezandiso zezibane zentloko zenziwe ngokwezifiso. Amavili akakagqitywa.
“Imoto yam i-EF Fairmont yaqala njengemoto emhlophe nje. Mna nabahlobo bam sichithe iiyure ezili-150 silungisa umzimba ngaphambi kokuba sifake imibala emithathu yepeyinti yeFord Fantasy. Injini yayiyi-SOHC 4.0 litre enentloko yeJim Mock Motorsport, i-DEV 6 camshaft kunye nenkxaso ye-mod. Ine-6boost twin-scroll T4 turbo manifold, i-billet-core GT42 turbo, i-4-intshi ephumayo kunye ne-exhaust, kunye ne-50mm Pro Gate squeak pipe.
Ipetroli ivela kwii-injectors ze-2000cc E85, i-Turbosmart FPR2000 regulator kunye ne-525 Walbro dual pump expansion tank. Ivelisa i-580 hp. kwi-20 psi kwi-E85. Ngoku siqala ukudibanisa inxalenye esezantsi: iibhloko zesamente ezi-3/4, ii-cranks eziqhushumbisiweyo nezine-nitrided, ii-spool pins, ii-custom CP pistons ezine-relief valve, ii-molybdenum rings, ii-ARP stud kuyo yonke indawo kunye ne-main belt.
Intloko yeJMM isaza kusebenzisa ivalvu entsha yentsimbi engagqwaliyo iFerrea, ispring ephindwe kabini kunye ne-titanium retainer. Kukwakho negumbi lokunyusa elingaphambili elenziwe ngokwezifiso elinee-billet fuel rails kunye nee-injectors ze-2000cc. Ndiza kusebenzisa iWolf ECU esebenza ngochungechunge kunye nee-LS coils. I-transmission yiWelshpool Transmissions Powerglide enezibhuleki kunye ne-lockup kwi-5000rpm kwaye ivelisa i-1300hp.
I-EF Falcon diff eqhelekileyo iza kufumana ii-Truetrac hubs, ii-axles eziqinileyo kunye nee-heavy duty shrouds. Ngaphantsi kwayo kukho ii-reels ze-AFCO kuzo zonke iindlela ezinee-levers eziqinisiweyo. Ezinye izinto ziquka i-half roll cage evunyiweyo yi-CAMS kunye ne-330mm Race Brakes kit. Isicwangciso yayikukuyiqhuba ukuya kuthi ga kwi-35 psi ekuqaleni kwaye ndijonge malunga ne-900 hp. Ndiza kukhetha ikota ephezulu ye-9-seconds ekugqityweni kwesitalato.
“Le yimoto yam yesithathu enamavili amathathu; ezimbini zokuqala zazisebenzisa i-V6 Ecotecs. Injineli kwimoto yesibini enamavili amathathu yandinyanzela ukuba ndakhe i-V8. Ndiyifumana ingaqhelekanga le nto kuba ndicinga ukuba iinjineli zingabantu abadala kwi-equation kwaye akufuneki zikhuthaze izidenge eziphezulu – mna – ukuba zakhe into ehlekisayo. Ngoko ke ndathenga i-'91 Fairlane ndaza ndasebenzisa i-5.0 litre EFI V8, i-transmission ezenzekelayo enesantya esine, kunye ne-drive axle differential ene-rear disc brakes, KWAYE ndaphinda ndafaka i-front cowl cover.
Isakhelo setyhubhu esingenamthungo se-32NB. Isiphelo sangaphambili esinonxibelelwano lwangaphambili kunye nengalo ejikelezayo engasemva ebotshelelwe kwi-drive axle differential.
Ikhompyutha kunye nezixhobo zibekwe phantsi komphambili wesihlalo, ngelixa itanki yepetroli ibekwe ngaphambili kwesihlalo. Ibhetri ye-VH44 kunye ne-amplifier zibekwe ngasemva kwesango elincinci langasemva. Yonke into ingasetyenziswa, ngaphandle kwabagcini. I-V8 ilungile, kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku i-COVID quarantine indithintele ekuyileni. Ndiyikhwele emaphandleni nabantu abambalwa. Igudile, iphatha kakuhle, kwaye ikhawuleza ngendlela emangalisayo, kodwa okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ivakala ichanekile.
I-Ecotec trike iyandoyikisa, kodwa ukuba uvala amehlo akho, ungacinga nge-VT Commodore egqunywe nge-bowling cap eshelufini. Hayi kule 302 Windsor!
“Olu luhambo lwam oluqhubekekayo. Le yiveni yeVN SV LE ka-1989, eyathengwa kwiminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo, yonke imihla. Emva koko ndakha i-stout stock 304 ndaza ndayithengisa ngenjongo yokwakha ezinye izinto, yahlala egaraji de kwaba ngunyaka ophelileyo xa ndagqiba ekubeni ndiyiqalise.”
Ndithathe imoto ndayisa eShowtime Customs eHeathcote ukuze ndihliselwe umgangatho wamavili amakhulu kwaye bakwenza oko ngaphandle kwengxaki.
Okwangoku ndakha i-355 enamandla kakhulu enezitena zesamente, ii-Scat connecting rods, ii-I-beams kunye neepiston ezifakelweyo. Ineentloko ze-alloy ze-Edelbrock, i-compression ratio ye-12.8:1, ii-camshafts eziqinileyo, kunye ne-group A dual throttle manifold. Ipetroli iya kuba yi-E85. I-transmission yi-Trimatic yesantya ezintathu ene-BorgWarner ejikelezayo i-short differential kunye ne-shaft ene-31-splined shaft.
Iibhuleki ezinkulu zikaHarrop zezona zilandelayo kuluhlu oluza kugcwalisa imizuzwana engama-22 kwaye kunyaka omtsha uza kuqala ukupeyinta. Thandazela ukuba yonke into ihambe ngokwesicwangciso.
“Ndiza kubuyisela injini yam yeCommodore VL Executive 5.0L V8 ka-1987 kuba ibingasasebenzi kangangeminyaka eli-15. Ndiyithengile le moto kwiminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo njengeyayingagqitywanga ukulungiswa kwaye kutshanje ndigqibe kwelokuba lixesha lokuba ndiyilungise.”
Okwangoku imoto sele ixotyulwe ngokupheleleyo yaza yahluthwa yaba yintsimbi engenanto yiFriendz Auto Restorations, emva koko iqela lasebenza kwiphaneli ukuze ibonakale intsha kwakhona. Emva koko uSteve waseCruz Restorations wanxiba ii-overcoats zodidi oluphezulu eziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ezenziwe ngumzi-mveliso.
Yonke into engaphakathi emotweni iya kuhlaziywa, yakhiwe ngokutsha okanye igqunywe nge-galvanized, nto leyo eya kwenza ukuba ibonakale icocekile esitalatweni. Zonke iibheji zefektri ziya kuhlala kwaye imoto iya kuba neebhampa zeMX Grey, Venetian kunye nezinye eziqhelekileyo zeWollongong VL - isitayile segong kufuneka sigcinwe!
Owu, kukho izicwangciso ezikhethekileyo ngaphakathi. Okwangoku, amavili akakagqibi. I-308 iyakhiwa kwakhona kwaye iza kufikelela kwi-355ci. Iza kuba nentloko yamva nje yemodeli kunye ne-manifold ephezulu kwaye iza kwenza loo ngxolo ingaqhelekanga yeHolden esiyaziyo sonke - yindawo engena-LS! Abantu banokulandela ulwakhiwo kwi-Instagram yam @jbensmaad.
“Ndinemoto yohlobo lwe-Ford Downs Industries enefestile ezintathu eMelika ka-1937. Ndathenga lo mzimba eVictoria kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, ndaxelelwa ukuba ubukho iminyaka eli-15.”
Ndamfudusela ePerth kwaye konke kwaqala. Injongo yam kukwenza abonakale ekhohlakele, ngokungathi ufuna ukukubulala, ngoko ke ndisebenzisa yonke intshi yemithetho yokwakha yeWA ukwakha imoto yobungcali yesitayile sasesitalatweni. Ndayakha kwakhona ingasemva ukuze ilingane namavili e-diff angama-9″, ama-4-link kunye namavili e-15×10 aneerim eziyi-15×6 ngaphambili.
Iza kubuyisela i-LS evuvukileyo emzimbeni. Izihlalo zeMercedes-Benz. Kukho ikholamu yokuqhuba ye-Idedit, isiphelo sangaphambili seRod-Tech, kunye negrille eqoshiwe ngesandla eyinika imo eyahlukileyo kancinci. Kulapho ndikhoyo. Ukuba ufuna ukubona okungakumbi, ndenze iifoto kwi-Instagram yam @flo37build.
