Michael Deards puts his immaculate Blown Injected VH SS Commodore “BADASS” on the Motorvation Burnout pad only to set the back end on fire. Then proceeds to Punish the Big Block…
If you weren’t one of the lucky entrants to be here early, then you’re probably sitting in a line snaking all the way back to Anketell Road right now. But fear not, there’s plenty of time to get in and get your car scrutineered
Colin Byrne has built what can only be described as The World’s Most Insane 200 Series Toyota Landcruiser.
Colin mentioned the build a few years ago and has done an exceptional job on the build but more so keeping it quiet.
When photo’s were released this week it’s safe to say they went VIRAL… With numerous Facbeook and Instagram pages sharing the pictures.
I’m confident we’ve never seen a more insane 200 Series Landcruiser anywhere on the planet and it’s easy to see why.
The Landcruiser started life as a 2009 Sahara which was extensively damaged. The car received a Full Chassis, with Airbags on all 4 corners to fit those massive 24 inch wheels. The interior is almost as it was released from the Factory apart from the Racepak hidden behind the factory display.
Upfront is where the action is, running a Supercharged 540 Cube Big Block Chev, 8/71 Supercharger, Enderle Hat with Mechanical Injection and tuned by ADR Engines with a 2 Speed Glide and a 40 Spline 9 Inch Diff by Final Drive.
The majority of the Chassis and Exhaust work was completed by Race On Customs and Lethal Industries here in WA.
With the plates titled “KINGCRUZA” it’s easy to see why.
According to Colin the car won’t be doing a burnout at Motorvation as they sort through a few teething issues with the car but we hope to bring you some Test & Tune Burnouts some time very soon.
With the gates to the Perth Motorplex ready to be opened for entrants and crew only on Friday, the organisors have confirmed over 500 entrants will be in attendance for what is the biggest Motorvation in a while. At 12pm the scruitineering and judging begins with pit cruising available to
One of the freshest faces on the Motorvation team this year is the plucky Chris Mitchell. A former karting competitor, current karting commentator, Hollywood movie star who is often confused as J Mac’s shorter twin brother, he joined us for a quick look back at his Motorvation history
The time finally arrived, the orange band was slapped on the wrist and the ever cheerful Chris Mitchell was on babysitting duties. It was time for this guy to spend some time on the otherside of the fence at Whoop Ass Wednesdays, a staple in anyone with a need for

10 years after Bridget Bell cheekily stole a microphone at Motorvation 25 and had a bit of fun, Bridget is now a staple of the Motorvation team and we catch up with her to discuss Motorvation and Motorvation 35.
I was invited along to Mike’s Dyno to film Chad Douglas’s awesome Twin Turbo Commodore Ute “2MENTAL” as the team sort through the Tune on this Fuel Injected Methanol burning weapon.
Running a 360 cube LQ9 based engine with Trickflow Heads and Twin 80mm Turbos the car is purpose built for burnouts.
Chad recently switched to a Haltech Computer and Display which has meant an entirely new tune is required. Initial dyno testing prior to Christmas highlighted anelectrical issue with the car which prevented any revs being around 4,500rpm.
Chad and his tuner (Josh) fixed this issue and returned last night to finally get some AFR’s sorted. The car is still long way from being 100% as they have now identified a fuel pressure / injector issue which is preventing sufficient fuel under boost.
The decision was made to limit to Boost to 12psi which saw a very conservative 874rwhp, which is more than enough to get some road testing completed at Motorvation this weekend.
Chad would like to Thank the following Sponsors for their ongoing support:
– Metalcraft Marine
– Haltech
– ProFlow
– Galloway Engines
– Per4manz Turbos
– Warspeed Industries
