dont really know....its been sitting in the corner of our workshop for prolly 8 months now all torn to bits......what you cant see from those pics is when the clutch let go it just spun around like a knife cutting everything behind the engine to bits.....throwing hunks of the bellhousing through the firewall also smashing the windscreen....im thinking it might be pretty close to a write off

My mate bought one of these after I took him for a drive in the staz, they do pretty damn good with that FJ20, they should of stuck with that instead of this SR shit, the FJ actually had some balls..

.. I was watching Back to the Future 2 the other night. When Marti's running through the main town square, he runs accross the road and almost gets hit by a Gizelle - mocked up as a futuristic car. It's pretty funny keep an eye out for it, it's dark blue.

yeah man fj20's are the go, indestructable great drag motor, only problem is it weighs so much and expensive to produce so they stoped making them..........but yeah the XR8 goes pretty hard, i forgot what the actuall dyno results were, but she dont really think about getting traction till like 4th gear
