the longer i think about it the more I wanna be in on this....
does rust count as weight modification? ie.. will i be disqualified for having a rusty heap of sh*t?

The rules of willowbank re- rust needs to be followed , in saying this , a little is ok , as long as its not going to be dropping onto the track , as i dont think the big $$$ boys would be happy with you if they found a rusty piece of gemini caused their $100,000 drag machine to hit the wall and be destroyed.


commons sense will tell you how much rust you could get away with.

OK, after reading the rules properly I may be in for this. Whilst my Gemini has a long way to go getting on the road in terms of paint and panel, I already had "budgeted" around the $1500 mark for the engine (standard G161Z). I've jokingly said to a couple of mates I wanted the TE to be quicker than my VT V6 when I'm finished. Condsidering a VT V6 auto probably runs a low to mid 16 at best, if I tick those two boxes of budget and Commodore-killing then I'll be in the ballpark for 15's for $1500. Wish me luck :D
Need room to put more Gemini parts, help a brother out!!!

sweet! Now throw up a thread for the car you intend , then the motor and mods that you do it it ( without giving away too many secrets as to what you did to get it to perform how it does ).
