Hmmm, bearing in mind, this is a budget-concious entry level Cobra for my first one (I can spend more later when I have more coin), I am swaying towards a DRB or similar with the Torana/Holden based suspension.
The 4.0L Lexus is a beauty because in WA we are allowed to install forced induction on vehicles up to 4.0L! (Convenient!) But obviously will require firming up with engineer too as I think it can't be more than 30% increase in orig' HP, vehicle weight is considered etc, etc. But, still worth researching.
Yep, definately would do the front cut option, too hard doing it the other way.
As you said, plenty of options. And when I advertise and sell my bike, that will open up a lot more options. It's time to bite the bullet, un-lock some ca$h and pursue my dream now!
P.S - 400TT, Your Harrisson sounds great!, but much more expensive than the DRB option right? Currently thinking with a budget to about $35K, it may be wise to get a licensed street version to get me 'on the road', and get one with all the fruit later.
