If they sold them here, there would be one in my driveway. :thumbsup: Maybe one for the wife too :unibrow:

Here's some info from a Holden site :thumbsup:

Check this company: http://www.thermotec.com/

They have all kind of heat insulation materials.

About the Holden Commodore, when Opel made them they were sold in the US as Cadillac Catera (only as a 4-door saloon). The coolest ones we have had here in Europe was the inline 6-cylinder twinturbo 500+ horsepower Lotus Omega 4 door saloon :eek:

Thanks for the info Jan. Will check into them too..:)

Hey all, waking the dead thread here, but I figured I'd drop back past and say hi as I haven't been on here in a while. Plus I wanted to show Scott what I'd been up to. My pro touring style Australian Ford Falcon ute got to the point where it was looking a little too powerful for the street (I know.... you can never have too much power.. hehe), so I figured I needed to keen my licence and I'd race it legally.

Engine: Australian Ford DOHC 4.0L inline turbocharged 6 (factory power 400hp) - The BARRA

Projected power on methanol: 1200+rwhp (so far these engines are young and there's 2 cars making near 1200 on non alcohol fuel)

Rear wheels fit like a charm, tubs should be ready by Wednesday and the wheelie bars should be on by the middle of next week.

It won't be like a tube frame car though (unibody and factory trans tunnel says no to that) in the fact that they sit on the deck. I do like that, but I'm also digging how it sits.
