     2004 McHappy Day at McGraths Hill McDonalds, the very suspect weather held off apart from a very brief, light shower about 8:45am. About 45 were Toranas present at a very enjoyable event. Check the Sydney Torana Club site for more pics.

    Nice picture friendly weather The morning shower and cool temps minimised any dust

    Toranafest 2003 - One of the next steps is to get new injection trumpets that bend to run parallel to the rocker covers and then outfit these with air filter sox. The bonnet won't close with the set-up below as the front two trumpets foul the bonnet bracing.(pic by G&L)

    another Toranafest 2003

      Toranafest 2003 - The co-owners hard at work at the end of the day (well, about 3:30pm anyway). One does seem to be doing more work than the other! (pic by G&L)

     Shot from indoor car show at Exhibition Buildings, showing the braided dry sump scavenge lines and the front mounted sway bar with drop link. The floor mirrors don't really help much here. Not easily visible (okay, almost impossible) is the A9X brake duct under the sway bar mounting bracket.

    front suspension highlighted

     Shot from indoor show at Exhibition Buildings showing rear suspension, Harrop Aluminium Diff centre (reflection) and Brown Davis aluminium tank. Also visible is the notched panel on leading edge of rear guard.

     The SummerNats Saturday Show and Shine in 1987/88. This shows the old turbo 6 as well as the old brakes (121/2" rotors with small AP-Lockheed 4 piston calipers [ex-HDT] with the Harrop modified end plates to minimise pad taper). The rear shot shows the B45 Simmons wearing Yokohama A008's
