Mate what a beautiful, beautiful car. Have coveted the Torana hatch for the last 40+ years since it was released when I was a kid. I drive a 7 litre Camaro Z28 which is a beast but I'd kill to get one of these in the garage. Congratulations in every respect for repping this outstanding car. So envious! Subbed.
Hey mate! awesome, great vid. Subscribed to ya channel 🤙 I now have an urge to get back into Motorkhana! used to have fun back in the early 2000's doing this with my VN SS I still have vids up from back then... Awesome footage mate and was great to meet you at our meet in Port Melbourne @ Pier 35 that night!
I saw you with this car on Fullboost and I was blown away. Its my favourite A9X build ever. If I win tatts I'm going to make you an offer for it that you can't refuse! (hopefully)
Hi Heath, it would be good if you could do some short uploads on your exhaust, induction, colling system etc. explaining the science behind the modifications you have undertaken. With your background you understand the science and many others don't unfortunately. It would be worth documenting this as your car showcases this well. Mark
Great car, its your own style, not run of the mill, SLR striped Torana. going a custom style, but making it not hurt the eyes, is alot harder than what people might thing, specially in the colours youve done it. very tastefull. and for all the Chasers guys out there, I have to ask just Why?
Thanks! Yeah it's tricky to do a one-off graphic (particularly a bright one) that anyone warms to, but the response to the stripe design I came up with for this car has been generally really favourable and I do like having something bright that stops my car being mistaken with any other one! Haha What do you mean re: the Chasers? They're kinda long for the tight layouts, but robust driveline, great for repeated clutch dumps and pretty easy to drift. I'll probably take my Chaser to one of these in the future lol.
Haha all of those "ricers" have better oiling systems than my shitty Holden V8 and unlike mine, would probably be happy on a race track! It's surprising how far from track-prepped a V8 Torana is in standard form. I'll get it back to a track once I've re, re-engineered more systems to stop it blowing up. Until then... basically all motorsport is fun so I'll just do other events, like this. 😋
Great vid mate. About time you started putting more on TH-cam ;)
Thanks Jeff! I should make a better habit of it... I would like to do a more regular job of vids. No shortage of stuff to cover.
I love that you built such a quality car and now you're absolutely enjoying every second of using it.
Top stuff Heath 👌
Best sounding and best looking car there. Pretty bloody quick too.
That looks like great fun , the Torana is running sweetly :)
Great stuff Heath, awesome car control and more credit to you for the build, your passion and for driving the beast 👍
Mint car, video and editing Heath!
Really enjoyable
Great Video Heath (and Kieran!) - it looks like you had an absolute blast as well!
So bloody fun mate. You'll need to bring your car to one of these with me when back on the road. 🤙

A well sorted hatch would make a lovely pair with your Z28! Haha. Thanks very much. 👌
@@Hezath Exactly what I'm thinking. Seems I need $AUD 100,000+ to get one though !!

As with you! I'll have to look back at your old motorkhana videos :)
So cool, didn't know about this Geelong Motorsport Complex! Just looked it up, I try make the next one!
Awesome video guys 👌👌 editing is superb 👍👍👍
He knocked it outta the park hey? Makes my other videos look real hokey haha. 😅

@markfromearth4 haha thanks so much buddy. Welcome to get in touch when that tatts win lands in your account and I'll look to build you one. 😅
@@Hezath if I can find the funds I might just take you up on that!
That was a cool Vid Heath. Well done!

how do you remember the layouts?
baffling aye?!
With difficulty! It's certainly a challenging part of the event, haha.
The Torana looks and sounds awesome mate, but that Motorkhana crap is for Ricers….
V8 Touring Cars deserve a decent race track. 👍
