11th October 2006 - It was time for the annual QLD Fast Fours Jamboree & we made the trip up the highway to check it out! The weather, the track & the atmosphere was fantastic all weekend. Saturday saw a mid afternoon qualifying session for the Pro Compact class. Our 1st qualifier was a 8.22, a few adjustment's were made & a second qualifier of 7.85 second's was achieved. Our 3rd pass was a 8.15. Here is a short compilation video of our Saturday qualifying session. More to come soon on Sunday's racing!

2nd August 2006 - We recently took delivery of our new Ford Territory Turbo & immediately fitted the all new Type 3 Turbosmart BOV. Stay tuned as we will soon be doing some performance upgrades to the already quick aussie people mover!

15th May 2006 - For Sale - 2 X 20B Imports engines have just come in. These have been tested and come complete with all manifolds, turbos, alternators and complete uncut wiring looms. Price is $5,750 each so be quick as these are getting hard to come by.

In amongst a field of blown V8's the Dalton Automotive RX7 took out top honours at the Mildura 1/8 mile meeting. The announcer even said "We didn't think we would be handing over the trophy to a 1.3 litre!"

At Calder Park on Easter Monday the weather looked threatening most of the day but that didn't deter the huge crowd from attending. Check out the full meeting report here! We also have a new multi angle incar movie for you to enjoy! Check it out here!

 

24th February 2006 - Calder Park Raceway's Friday night Street Meets are becoming increasingly popular with spectators and racers, last Friday was no exception, the weather and track were great. We only squeezed in 2 passes for the night as we arrived late due to a certain "incident" on the highway! The RX7 was super consistant reeling off two 7.90's at 166mph with 1.12 60ft times. We were able to log some valuable data about our new PWR intercooler setup and look forward to the next meeting.
To see what its like in the RX7 going 7.90 at over 166mph check out the incar footage on the movie page!

9^th February 2006 - A few snaps of some cars that are currently going through some modification at Dalton Automotive


Starting from the left we have started work on a customers MR2 Turbo engine rebuild full of high performance internals. Branchy's BA GT has had lot of modifications including cams, fuel system, exhaust system and a fully adjustable computer resulting in 307kw's at the wheels! Stay tuned for more info on the GT! We have been busy fitting a range of PWR intercoolers to customers cars lately, besides looking great they have far superior flow characteristics…call us for a quote!

8^th February 2006 - We attended a Friday night street meet at Calder Park Raceway on the 13^th of January 2006 with some great results. We are currently testing a new PWR water to air intercooler on the car as well as some turbo modifications. Some people may have noticed the 5" exhaust pipe hanging out the side? 1^st pass of the night was a 8.0, 2^nd pass was a 7.93 and the 3^rd was a 7.93@168.5mph! Making some slight tuning changes was really paying off, and then the 4^th pass set a 1.12 60ft time. This is a PB at a street meet where the track isn't prepped as well as a pro race meeting, the car started to wheel spin around ½ track and crossed the centre line where Chris aborted the run.
We headed to WSID for the "Drag Warz" event in Dec 2005. The S6 was the 2^nd fastest qualifier with a 7.90@166mph. In the 1^st round our day ended after at around ¾ track we unfortunately picked up some debris from the track which was sucked into the turbo. This in turn damaged the compressor wheel with some of the wheel blade going into the engine sticking in an apex seal in the apex seal groove. The car rolled through for an 8.2 sec ET!

 2nd February 2006 - Turbosmart, the leader in turbo enhancing products have recently named Dalton Automotive as a Premium Dealer.

4th October 2005 - The Dalton Automotive team had a successfull weekend at Calder Park for the DBD Drag Day with a new PB of 7.78@169mph! The car was on a mission and was getting faster every pass. We also recorded a new MPH best of 170mph on a 7.81 pass previous to the new ET. The S6 top qualified and made it to the finals where the unreasonable request to get the car ready for the finals in 7 minutes was made, which is not enough time to safely prepare a car like this. With 30 seconds to go we arrived at the pit gate to be told we were too late!! We came second! The meeting also gave us the chance to trial our new "Incar Camera" Check out the movie here .

24th July 2005 - This pink gemini recently got the Dalton Automotive treatment with impressive results! The Gem's driveline has had a 13B Turbo installed complete with the increasingly popular TO4Z roller bearing turbo. This combination run by a Microtech EFI system pumped out an impressive 270kw's at the wheels. May see it at Calder soon.....

26th June 2005 - A couple of "Show 'n' Go" cars from the Dalton Automotive stable were on show for all to see at a recent Small Car Sunday event in Sydney. This event made its return after a 2 year break. Held on the 5th of June at Fairfeild Showground and presented by John Baremans and his team it was a welcomed return to the calender and will only gain momentum in the future. Steve and Albert took the RX2's down for the day. This was the 1st show for Steve's beautiful rx2 "RIPS" while LOCORX took the family out to check out the cars.

Steve's car was very popular throughout the day and this showed when he picked up Runner up in the peoples choice award and also snaring a place in the Top 10 Judged Elite vehicles of the day. Not bad for his very first show. Albert picked up Blueys Choice Award (one of the event sponsors). Congratulations Guys!
