John’s XTGT Oz Tuff, Italian pride

June 26, 2013 · by outffocus

The impact our teenage lives can have on us creates a lasting impression for the rest of our time on this mortal coil shaping our destination and decisions during that period. For those of us reading this mag, most likely it’s to do with the wheels we prefer, be it two or four, Holden, Ford or other and the style we prefer them to exemplify. Read More →

Cruzin Knights show n shine 2012

October 8, 2012 · by outffocus

Sunday the 7^th of October saw the Cruzin Knights car club host its 2^nd annual show n shine to raise funds for the Cancer Council of Australia. Held at the WerribeeCivicCenter, it was the perfect place for car and bike enthusiasts alike to cruise down in their rides and park up for a great family day out. Those who braved the chilly Victorian spring day weren’t disappointed with plenty of quality vehicles on show from hot rods, classic cruisers and muscle cars through to drag cars and even a rail. Not to be left out, the kids were treated to an abundance of activities from a jumping castle through to a petting zoo and other entertainment.

Much needed funds for the Cancer Council of Australia would have been raised from this car show and will see it return year after year with continuing support from those who embrace this vocation be it showing their own pride and joy or simply attending and enjoying the ample array of automotive art that we all devote our spare time to restoring and maintaining.

Mark this one down in your calendar for next year and we’ll see you there.

Keep on cruzin’

Trilogy

August 27, 2011 · by outffocus

Trilogy

Trilogy is a 1959 FC Holden sedan that is on its third rebuild, hence the name. This build took three and a half years to complete, bringing up the time of ownership to 36 years.

This beautifully modified machine is powered by a twin turbo charged 440c.i. small block Chev pushing out a tire frying 1000HP! All this power is fed through a bullet proofed Powerglide and down to the immaculately presented nine inch diff. Suspension is courtesy of coil over shockers all round with Alcon brakes getting the nod for stopping power. Twin three inch handmade exhausts get rid of the unspent gasses. The wheels that set this elite showcar apart from the rest are the 18X7 and 20X12 Showwheels shod in low profile tires.

To compliment the array of body mods covered in HOK Kandy custom mix paint is the interior. The hand made seats are covered in beautiful leather and German carpet complimented by a smattering of billet items and Dakota digital gauge pod which has been cleverly mounted in the center of the custom built dash.

Plans for this immaculate machine is to show it for a while before putting it use on the street for cuisin’ duties. Who could wait that long, not me!

A Sublime Nissan

August 27, 2011 · by outffocus

This beautifully created custom ride is known as “Sublime” and is based around an S15 Nissan 200SX. In the fully fabricated engine bay sits a Mazda 20B rotary with a massive GT47R turbo charger which should give this green machine an impressive 700 to 750 HP at the rear wheels (Not yet dyno tested). A Supra r154 manual box was considered the best choice for helping to unleash all this horsepower to the rear wheels. The custom touches don’t finish at the immaculately presented interior or wild suicide doors, it also has a ¾ chassis and sheet metal finished undercarriage topped off with huge custom billet wheels! Costing less than 90K to build and taking only 3 years to complete, I think you’ll agree that full credit must go to the owner and builder of this immaculate import and we look forward to seeing the stats sheet in the future.
