My ummmm 'toy' back in 1984 was a '66 HR X2 Premier
13.8sec 1/4 @ 98mph
192 blueprinted up the WAHZOO + M20 + 2.78 diff
1st 48mph 2nd 62mph 3rd 115mph 4th Never officially determined (lol)
Was an Oran Park XU-1 M20 4 speed weird ass ratio box

Top speed 135+ mph
Yes the speedo only went to 120 but when the needles pointing
@ 6 o'clock all bets are off with the bulging eye "Mad Max" stare

Auto SV-21 '92 Camry back in '03 that I fiddled with.
200kph racing a '02 Honda Euro up the coast road
He only pulled away SLIGHTLY as the slush box ran outa legs lol

In '02 my '82 Hilux dual cab with the 2.4 import diesel motor & next gen 5spd
Wound & I really mean WOUND her out to 148kph
Took like 200k's to get there but did it, chuckle...

Used to have my modern toy a '75 TA22 Celica until 4 years ago
2T-GEU with 3T internals + 45mm Webers
198kph in that ol' gurl...

Can you see a pattern forming here ?

Hence my "tag" line underneath heh heh..

Cool

Why no 12 bolt or (yuck) Ford 9" ?

Really hope you've learnt a lesson over the years & haven't gone the whole 3500 stall converter route..
