    They sound good. When you decide to move one on, hopefully it will go to a new owner that will appreciate it.
    Lamenting the loss of Australian manufacturing.

    1998 - 2005 Mirage - still missed
    2005 - TL AWD Magna still paying for upkeep

    Pre `98 - non Mitsis including two Fords, a Toyota and a Daihatsu

    The VRX has an interesting history.

    It was sold new through a Perth dealership in that window around May-June 2001. The factory cams were removed around that time and reground. I'm not sure of the specs but the idle sounds like the old Erson TQ30 which my have in my 69 GTO. The heads have been ported,extractors fitted and a performance chip installed. The surname and address of the first owner matches the name of the sales manager back in 2001.
    Who know,maybe someone wanted the hottest Magna back in the day or used it a sales demo car.There wouldn't have been much in the way of Holden/Ford back then that would peg it. This is back before the XR6 Turbo.....maybe the hotter LS powered SS Commodores? Wheel spin is an issue with the open diff so who knows, maybe one day I'll give a run at Kwinana just to get some quarter mile times.
