Most of us agree that if someone owns something they can do what they want to it. However the argument probably stems from the obvious question - why irreversibly modify a factory homologation special that is worth in excess of $25000 when the (almost) id

I agree. I tried to join a holden club in nz and got turned down cos my car was'nt stock. i think they were just jealous.I'm not against stock cars but they have to be mint condition with no missing parts, other wise its nothing more than an old car.

I think if you own a Holden you should be able to join a Holden club.
Also I think that if you want to modify a Torana get yourself an SL/R as they are very similar to A9X's body wise and then modify to your hearts content.
I have an SLR th

I own an A9X and Mine is stock. I know plenty of guys who have put tanks in, big wheels modded the engines and all that sort of thing. I have some big wheels I fit myself at times, but I kept the stockers. My question is, why go and buy an A9X, which are

that's exactly right why buy an A9X for $30,000 spend $20,000 modifiying it and have it worth $10,000 in the end.
Unmodified the A9X may appreciate in value.
You are better off buying an LX for $2,000, spending $20,000 modifying it and have i

What sort of Holden club were you trying to join? If it was just a Holden club then I would think they should let you in. I'm in 2 clubs, the A9X club, where the cars have to be the genuine thing (goes without saying really) but we do have social and ass

I am a member of 3 car clubs and a motorbike club, and none of them have any "requirement" to even own a car or have a licence or anything other than pay your membership and abide by the "model rules" as used by most incorporated clubs. Anything else woul |

I knew of a guy that had a LH SL. He was gonna spend a motza (>$15K) on it to make it look like an L34 full blown Torrie. Sounds good to me. Lotsa fun.
However at the end of the day. Its still a $1500 Torrie with all the extras. Yet if I spent the s

I have an L34 that was modified when I bought it. The original axle was replaced with an A9X axle by the previous owner, so its much better than the original anyway.
