Hi guys,
Just like to say hi, I've been meaning to join for a while now and I'm glad I have the wealth of knowledge here is fantastic!
So I'll introduce myself, my name is Jeremy I'm 30 and currently living in central west New South Wales (about 450km or 280miles west of Sydney)
I've loved anything with engines since I can remember and took a liking to American muscle from my early teens, last year I took the plunge and
bought a 1969 Olds Cutlass S, was imported in 1991 a red OSB 350 from California by another aussie. Was then sold to his friend and the guy I bought it off.
Current specs of the car are:
455 30+ "C" cast heads along with cam that I'm told are W-30 option spec, Edelbrock Performer manifold, Holley 650DP, unsure of headers but twin 2.5" exhaust system.
With a M20 4spd box and a Hurst shifter, diff is a stock Olds open with a 3.08 ratio. Suspension upgrades have only been Spohn sway bars front and rear and Pedders springs front and rear
(they are a mix and match from a couple of Aussie cars) with Pedders shocks rounding it all off. Brakes are from an Aus company Hoppers Stoppers, which is twin piston PBR
calipers clamping DBA Gold slotted and crossed drilled rotors up front and stock drums on the rear. Also has factory power steering, wheels are American Racing Torq Thrust II's
All I have done to it since I bought in December is install dynamat, which has made a massive difference to the driveability of the car.
I have a few plans for it, mainly to increase the driveability of it. Anyway enough rambling! Here are some pics...
