Nice internal parts list ya have there Greg. :thumbsup:


If you'd like I'd be glad to make you a "Stick, You Hoon!!!!!!!" decal. :D

Hoon is a really bad thing here Seig, the media call everybody in a modified car a hoon and the cops go along with it.

:drive: :drive: :burnout: :burnout: >>>>>>>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoon

Understood, a liberal dose of sarcasm was included in my generous offer. :D
Sounds somewhat similar to how the 'racist' card is played on this side of the pond. :(

How long before that motor makes it's way into the car?

Yep thats it, and yes it would apply to me :thumbsup:

Awesome Greg! You win the prize for the most innovative test fire platform :D

:cheers:

We have that over here too, you aren't on your own there.

The ECU needs to go back to Holley for a software update and they have to build a crate to ship it, so hopefully a couple of weeks and it should be ready to go.

But I will be in the States for a month in September and early August, I am heading to Hot August Nights and another round at Bondurant. I will be home for a bit, then I'm heading to SEMA. :)

Thanks buddy.

Hows that video going????????????

Hey Greg! I don't care what they call you in Australia... But I'm calling' ya "DA MAN!"


That engine is just way kool!

Cheers Greg,

I see you bailed on Hot August Nights :poke: , I was hoping to meet up, Now Ill just have Charlie.

I went to HAN for years and years. My grandparents lived in Carson City - so it was always a good excuse to go visit them... and of course HAN "used to be" - the hot rod show in the country on the west coast... Then - frankly - it went to hell in a hand basket as far as I'm concerned. So I quit going about 5 years ago.

I get my fill of Charley at other events... I've thought - a nanosecond at least - about going back, but there's just other things to do - and I'm not any different than everyone else - I only have so many weeks to do "X" amount of car stuff - before it has to take a back seat to family stuff.

This year it is on the same weekend as the NorCal Shelby Mini Nats at Sonoma -- and I have more fun driving the car Charley gave away than I do sitting in a parking lot. (I've never been much of a car show guy).

I think you should modify your trip and include Sonoma for a couple hours... then have Charley send his helicopter to pick you up and whisk you over to Reno.

Best plan I've heard yet!

:thumbsup:

Wow Greg the engine looks fantastic. I'm sure you'll have fun with that in the car! I'm definitely excited to see this project in the final stages...

USA Greg, sarcasm isn't easy to read through text on the internet. Does Charley really have a helicopter?

SEVERAL -- and AIRPLANES TOO..... and about 100 cars, many of which are in various states. LOL


The man is a god.


I'll let him explain as I don't want to discuss his personal fleet of stuff.


But really... No, not that I'm aware of... but with Charley, you never know.

gee greg, is that a chubby? lol


:D

Well that's disappointing... I can confirm he does have cars in various states though. I saw one of them hiding in Michigan a couple days ago. Cool stuff.

Greg that engine looks great,glad to see some updates:thumbsup:

:G-Dub: :G-Dub: :hail: :cheering: :drool: :bow: :unibrow:

Oh my, I think that thing is smiling at me.:D Greg, that is awesome!

I planned the trip around HAN because Charlie said, It's not to be missed, he rated it above all other shows, so we will see.

It's a shame it's on at the same time as the Nor Cal deal as I would have love to be there for a look and add some banter.

I'm heading over to see Ron Sutton after Han on the Monday, as he is re valving some shocks for me.

And I thought you were the idea's man :headscratch:

Thanks Casey, I hope it will pick up some pace.


Doesn't he just borrow your spare.:Tomcat:

Yep sure is Vince.

Thanks Jeff.

:thankyou: Al, always look forward to your updates.

Cheers Lenie, I'm not sure about it smiling, but I am.

Charley lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere... and really doesn't get out very much.

You'll have a good time. I think the show is getting it's second wind...







Ron Sutton will be with US.... not with Charley... and WE will be at Sonoma in the heart of beautiful wine country... and racin'... and Shelby's... CHARLEY will be in the middle of a hot asphalt parking lot in RENO in the 100* heat of a beat down old relic of a town that used to be kool when I was a kid - that was 50 years ago...






PER above... We know where he'll be on Saturday and Sunday.

Charlie, said only because your paying, otherwise he would rather hang with him.

Ron's just making me faster each weekend.... and I'll now have one more "seat time" session before Charley comes back to the track in October... :>)
He's old - he needs to just sit for the weekend and catch his breath.

Greg just do it! Oh, good call on the shocks too :cheers:

Yeah some guy put me onto him about the shocks, thanks mate.

Are you going to the Nor Cal track days?

Yes he is Greg --- which probably influenced Charley's decision to go in the opposite direction.

Greg (AU ) Sweet looking motor and stout internals.
I knew this update would be worth the wait!

Yep I'll be there.

Probably :lol:

In this situation I was the motion man.

GW's idea was Sonoma and I wholeheartedly seconded the motion.

:thumbsup:

Gorgeous engine, Greg. Glad it's alive.

Greg,

It's good to see you *finally* getting this thing up and running. Ty told me that he found the whole "bolt the engine to a massive propeller" bit both comical and a bit scary.

Now we need video!

Thanks Wayne, it's been slow, but should move a bit faster now.

[QUOTE=Ron in SoCal;554827]Yep I'll be there.

I might try to move things around and get over for the Sunday.


Good work.

Thanks Trey.

Hey JP, Ty said the big blades where scary. He is going to send the video, when I get it ill post it up.

I will be in Orlando about the 20 -21 July would be great to catch up.

I said it on usmuscle but it's worth saying again. That thing is wicked mate! Will look killer in the car.

Pity you're on the other side of the country. I'd love to check it out one day

Sounds great!

Thanks again Nathan, It's not to far to fly.:poke:


I will talk to you closer to the time :thumbsup:

That is just stupid.

Stupid Awesome. :Tomcat:

The Stupid part fits me pretty well. :thankyou:

As promised, a quick video of the engine being run up.

WAHHHHH that is ******* terrifying. :thumbsup:

Yeah pretty much, you wouldn't want to be near those blades.
