More Information:
"After my original 18R motor started to use more oil than fuel I decided to either get rid of the old Rona or turn it in the sleeper from hell :) So I decided to keep it, after I ran the little bitch on a NA 18RGEU for a while I decided to do something a little more drastic to improve its performance (and also to destroy any would be falcadores that might try anything, I'm just talking tough, much respect to Fords and Holdens :)). Anyway she's practically done now and I couldn't be happier, just got get my clutch sorted so I can take it for a decent pass down the quarter."
