hey guys, I just found this on a google search for our site. Good to see we are getting some other notice from EB lovers.
A short bit of History, we are bike and car lovers but found the track an expensive exercise at best. Then one of our mates decided to have a birthday do at the local track and brought his crappy old pintara out to the track along with the more expensive bikes and cars.
Amazingly enough there was just as much fun racing a pintara wagon round the track as we had with the bikes and cars worth 10 - 50 times as much and so we decided that a sub $1000 car racing leage was the go.
Cars were purchased and we set out, we got our EB Xr6 for only $250 at the local pickles auctions! (it didnt have a key, so we had to take a gamble there, but that worked out). Its a great car for racing, as it already came with extractors and aftermarket suspension(which we trimmed a little further). Its stable and has enough power to get you into trouble if you dont respect it. The only real mods we have done to get it into racing shape was removing most of the interior and locking the diff (with a welder, naturally). We have also now added 17" rims as these are easier to get old advans or slicks for.
Obviously we are in Tassie, but keep checking the website for updates if you want to stay tuned to the fun.. we also have a heap of clips on youtube at
