[leebutts]

Maybe he brought a front cut in on it's own before they were available for import?

 

[SiliconAngel]

I think I may have seen that car on the track once at Winton when I was there with my FTO. If it is the same car, it lasted 2 corners then blew up...

Idiot misspelt twin twice.

 

[NickTee]

Reason for selling is its not a very practical family car as im about to become a dad.

What a waste of an engine!

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Joe, that's the standard Verada front end (except for the eyelids).

I'm guilty of being in the magna-that-thinks-its-a-verada club once, but a verada-that-wants-to-be-a-paraplegic-legnum?

Helluva engineering effort though... and I wonder what will happen to this thread when the owner finds out about OZVR4 and join with his new car?

It's all good till it rains and he wants to take off fast in the wet or corner for that matter... Enter the understeer...

Ever driven a stock Magna in the wet? Only need 1500rpm, rolling and flex it in second and she'll hold 5000rpm til you eventually hit 80. Amusing (haven't bothered to provoke third)

Been pouring here the last two days and I have to be sooo damn careful in my magna to keep traction - I think the stock engine only has 85kw and I don't see ANY point in putting any more power under the hood 'cause it just can't put the power down into the road anyway. Very badly balanced vehicle.
