Hi all,
I have been wanting to start a budget track car build for a while now. I have an AU XR8 that I was planning to use but I am not sure I can bring myself to stripping it. My parents are getting rid of their EL Gli 4.0 which is a great car with a lot of good equipment in it. It was the car I learnt to drive in too which is a cool bonus. It is a GLi so it's light and has a live axle so big weight advantage. This way I can keep the XR8 as a street car which I think it a better option. The car is an auto but manual conversions can be had cheaply these days. Just keen on hearing from others that have run ELs or other E Series as club track cars. I know that they are very reliable. I was at Winton in my daily the other day and saw an EL and AU there. Anyway any thoughts would be great on how they run, brakes etc. Thanks. Jason. |

I have a mate with an EB dedicated track car (I6), he has spent a bucket load on it including turbo'ing it, he has had on the dyno to 400kw, but has it sitting at 351 kw, he is a fanatical Ford bloke, it is doing 1:32's at Winton, 10 seconds off V8 Supercar times
