You should get hooked up with NOYZ. has been working on one from what I remember him talking about it anyway. There is an article that you can look at in the information section.

Hi another member from Aus here.
The engine in the luv is basically a gemini engine, but you probably know this already. So if you wanna do simple mods http://www.hotgemini.com is a good site like putting a 32/36 webber on.
With a front disc brake conversion i was told a 1982 2wd rodeo discs will bolt up in place of the drums. Going to be trying that is a few weeks i'll keep you posted.

I've got a supercharged 2L engine in my first luv and i'm going to start modifying my second luv for a sb chev.

What have you done to your car so far?

Have not done anything at the moment it is all standard but have a few big idea's for it though. Might have an SR20det for it or a 13b rotary turbo for it aswell. Have not decided yet.
Just trying to upgrade the brakes first so i can get it to stop before i get it to go any good, :wink:
Where are you from? are you into any of the drag racing?
thanks for the cool idea's talk soon or arrange a time to both be online?
