We’ve been waiting a long time for this one, as soon as the car was done we got the call and with no hesitation locked this one in.

The Maloo was back and badder than ever, the attention to detail in this car is next level with everything designed and built for 100% functionality and to top it off it absolutely looks the part too with nothing out of place.

This was the first time the car had hit the dyno since the new build and it did not disappoint, throwing down massive numbers while only being run in on low boost.

With Jeff in control of the tune he ran the car up for a few pulls to get everything settled in, no doubt this will be getting turned up to 11 in no time with plenty left in it.

A huge credit to Tony, the Audio Image/RPM Performance Crew and ADR Engines for a proper weapon of a car that has been finished to the absolute highest degree!

Looking forward to following this car and watching it throw down at the Perth Motorplex, the numbers this car puts out is no joke!!

Ben Bolton certainly doesn’t do things by halves, at last years Brashernats his Twin Turbo and Supercharged V8 Cortina “OVERKILL” finished in flames after an Oil Line let go, which ended up causing complete Engine Failure.

This year he certainly melted the internet after releasing photos and videos of what can only be described as Australia’s Craziest Barra, with a Supercharger and 2 Turbos feeding the 6 Cylinder engine a whole heap of boost.

Towards the end of his Qualifying burnout the gearbox finally called it quits and pushed a heap of oil out causing a MASSIVE FIRE.. Check out the multi-angle footage as it’s certainly one of the biggest Gearbox Fires I’ve ever seen.

Thanks to Ben Bolton for the Go Pro footage and Ash Tudor for the cover photo and Grandstand footage.

Jake Myers should buy a lotto ticket. At Brashernats 2022 his 9,000rpm+ screaming Blown Injected Windsor powered Mustang “SICKO” was on a mission and this awesome Burnout took 2nd place in qualifying for the Blown Class which guaranteed him a spot in the Top 30 final.

Unfortunately he couldn’t return due to damage sustained, during the Burnout the Flex plate disintegrated and a 3-4 inch piece of the ring gear come through the Bellhousing and Trans Tunnel into the car and even dented the underside of the Steering column, narrowly missing his feet..

Check out the photos of the damage, extremely lucky!
