Some paint, engineer cert and reg oh If i was 18 again this would a good project to get into

I have seen this 120y at Oran park super sprints over the years. It is ridiculously quick. If I recall correctly the ower had a mate with an early model cortina running a seirra cosworth engine. both cars were carving up the track.

I guess the whole "oh yeah this is my fourth motor I've had in the car, I just boost up stock import motors on methanol to make the power" thing turns me off too :)
Dont get me wrong, I love it, but its not for me unless he'll take $4k

It's already reduced by a fair bit, he's been advertising this car on-off for a few years. I'd love to buy it too but having no job and 3 cars that need attention (and being cheap) doesn't make an option atm. On a positive note 120y's are good

The steering wheel Jmac is the famous OBA brand used for drifting. A favorite in Japan and Italy. Ive owned a couple and wished I never sold them now as nothing felt better.

Tyrie it quite possibly could be road registered in NSW if you found the right engineer and then transfered to ACT perhaps.
Then youd have a street car that you could enjoy at events also.
He would maybe sell for less during these tough times and then put the funds towards the engineering and reg. Im sure he would know a few contacts to help this happen.

With more adjustable boost it would rip most things to bits.
BUt the most fascinating thing is how this thing handles and takes the HSV like its some Dinosaur from 50 years back and on the inside absolutely priceless and better handling and braking than cars 15 times the price.

With a little work on the cosmetics it would be an awesome car to own rather than say an old ford gt, torana or even porsche.

My Dad adapted the massive 2 piece front rotors for that beast. So it's got some Shoey magic in it too

On first look, both dad and I thought the brake rotor was a flywheel from a distance.

I tell you what, the 120y puts on a hefty lead on the monaro by the end of the session! that would be an awesome sports sedan to drive!

Jmac- Keep an eye on ebay, the old school sports steering wheels come up for auction quite regularly. Early model holden and ford ones suit suit what your looking for.

I tell ya what, I wasn't a huge fan of the 120y coupes (or at least not as fond of them as the 1200 coupe shape) but that is great. Real no-nonsense approach - seems like they went about it along the lines of 'if it makes it quicker, use it' and little else - and as a result it actually looks the goods even more than one with more aesthetic work (well that's how I see it anyway!)

If I could hijack the thread just a little bit:




Does anyone happen to know what brand of steering wheel that is? I'm in the market for one, and it looks to be around 320mm (harder to get em under 350mm these days as they aren't street legal or something, but I desperately need more leg room) - and I _really_ want one that looks just like that - a more oldschool look, not into the curved ergonomic fit the hands styles, or the flat bottomed non round ones either.

Anyone? (I suppose if no-body knows, I can ask the seller!!)

monaro looks stock, against a sports sedan... I think it did pretty well.

D I have only one car, and I could buy that 120y right now. BUT as a uni student I am not in a position to be owning a race car. I need something just like that with street rego :D
