new to this site and new to the world of cars
i have a 67 hr and i would like to do it up... something to test my four hard years of being a boilermaking aprentice ha...
i want to update the car and i was going to start off with the braking system and suspension
i was just wondering what other (newer) holden cars could i get parts off? meaning what cars would be good to use for the brakes and suspension
if its not a good idea to use a whole setup off one car what other models or parts should i be looking at...
thanx for ya time

In regards to the brakes, just about anything and everything has been tried. Some have success, some look good, some are inexpensive.
Torans discs fit fairly easily, HQ discs also not too hard.
Good too see you are starting from the ground up so to |

There is a page on the Hopper's Stoppers Website that explains all the ins and outs of upgrading early Holden Brakes. It is a VERY interesting read...

Geez mate Full electrics! lol, Your going to have your weekends full. But no really, The satisfaction of completing small jobs one after the other, then taking it out for a burl just makes it all worth while.
The only option for the arches I can offer |

Suicide Doors...talk to an engineer BEFORE you spend a cent. No good spending all that time and putting up with the aggravation if you can't get it licenced at the end of it...

Regarding Engineers, I believe The 'Street Machine Magazine' Web site has a list of accredited Engineers. www.streetmachine.com.au or http://carpoint.ninemsn....alias=carpointau&id=6794Dan Never stop bei |

Hi Michael, Sorry, mate, I'm in Perth so have no idea about engineers in Melbourne. Maybe your licencing mob's website has a list of them? If you have a look here: http://gallery.oldholden.com/ReaperHR/ you may pick up some ideas for your HR. Che

Hi jimmy.
The car you have is not an HR 'S' series, the 'S' represents the fact that it was built on the Sydney (Pagewood) assembly line.
From the info you have provided. the car is an HR 186 X2 with the common options of power front discs & LSD.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
