I liked the clean original look, the graphics just ruin it, great for the car circuit, but for the road the plain paint looked pretty darn good, and the original rims in the first pic.

Mark Skaife and the HRT engineers are making serious efforts to have this suspension setup homologated for 2006 to aid reduce his sand trap exit times... Initial test have found no handling loss over FE2 setups.

Pretty sure it's on a GQ Patrol chassis, with LS1, and possibly only running 2WD currently.


And there is a pic from LC park floating round, see if i can find it.

Dude it has nothing to do with being a Holden driver.

Obviously he wanted something different so he did dont bag it cause its a Holden.By all means bag it out if you want man but not on the grounds of it being a Holden.I honestly would've thought people would've grown out of the Holden vs Ford rubbish.

Anyway I think its a beast.
