Was a bit bored this arvo so here is the inevitable Boeing photoshoot. ;)

Some things I've done lately that are probably more a case of 'because i could', or sht I've had sitting around for ages-

- ED Ghia leather interior
- White internal louvre
- Scorcher front bar
- Normal ED XR headlight surround

Things that might happen-
- Get the front bar painted
- Redo the tint
- Get rid of the louvre because it rattles like a motherfcuker
- Replace the 18's and get some of those 17in steel chasers

Good chance that none of that will happen. :lol:

why dont the front bar sit flush with headlights and guard? Not being a gay kent but just curious

looks sick as man

I reckon a stocko bar and gen XR6/8 headlights would look better, but thats just me

so your saying sundose has a shit cooler. awesome


didnt realise big men's coolers need so much room, makes sense now that Rollin uses a Soobaroo front bar

someone needs to make a more factory looking aftermarket front bar with FMIC space

You really need to get this thing down the strip John!

Is a Scorcher-XR hybrid front possible?

In most of the pics above the front bar is just sitting on- no bolts, so it droops a bit.

I'm not 100% on the front bar either, but it hides the cooler and thats what I wanted. Scorcher would be great and its funny having half the cooler hanging out of a stock bar but I don't want the attention.

If I didn't care about stealth I'd get an XR headlight cover mated with a scorcher bar.

Anyway, heres some of the pics from SF#1.

i think it needs the side moulds back on. Or maybe they'll fly off going that fast lol.

very impressive time. Any ideas why it ate a piston?

Not that impressive IMO.

I haven't cracked it open to confirm yet, but it was hitting the rev limiter at 3/4 track. My tuner had actually said to me a few weeks previously that he believed the rev limiter to be more harmful than an over-rev due to the forces that it places on the crank & piston/rings, and I'd have to say now that I agree with him.

Now that I've had a few days to think about what was happening, its possible that the thing was just plain out of gearing.

127ish MPH with 26in slicks, 2.92 gears, 5500 rpm limit = around 15% converter slip which seems pretty high to me. I was expecting 10% max. Not sure what to make of it- more thought required.
