While going through emails and RSS subscriptions I came across a feature on the Queen Street Customs Million Dollar Drag Car that the boys at Speedhunters had just posted up.
After reading articles on cars we have worked on and seeing what people have to say about them really makes all the late nights and early mornings worth it.
This car would have to be the most insane project we have ever been involved with and I dont think anything else will ever come close.

We apologise for the lack of updates on what’s been going on at the shop of late, but here is the latest.
The S2000 drag car has almost finished the fabrication stage, so we should be attacking the engine soon. Here are the latest pics of how it looks at the moment.
Since we began this project our target ET has been falling pretty fast from 8.8x seconds down to 7.9x, so our work is definitely cut out for us.
White seems to be the colour of choice over the past month or two, a total of 5 white cars (4 of which were WRXs) at the shop all at the same time.

Last weekend the Meguiar’s MotorEx was on, and what a show it was. MotorEx is one of, if not, the best automotive show in the country and this year was no different with the best of the best in hot rods, muscle cars, exotics and hi tech tuner cars all under one roof.
We were heavily involved with the rebuild of the Queen Street Customs BMW E46 M3 drag car and this was the event it was being unveiled at. After a week of all nighters and many weeks before of hard work we finally got the car to the show, anyway I’ll let the pics do the talking.

Tony in his VZ Clubsport (DTR 60L) entered his car and cranked out 139.9 dB taking out first place in D Class and second highest over all.
Tony was there with his EVO 6 (HU57LR) was showing off his new trim, Queen St. Customs had Kandy Brandy Wine EVO 8 and Kev’s BALLR Audi on display as well. And James made a late appearance in his of chops Charade (WA84IT).

here are some updated photos of the S2000 drag car that one of our customers is building
Some specs of the car are Gforce GF2000 gearbox, Borg Warner S480 turbo charger, Stroker F20C running C16 fuel.
We chose to take a different path to alot of other drag racers in Australia, many racers prefer to use proven combinations of either rotary or 2JZ engines but we wanted to try something different and develop the Honda engine.

We had this awesome piece of machinery come past the shop last week.
All i can say about this car is WOW, the attention it draws is unbelievable. People have no choice but to approach it and get a closer look.
The Queen Street boys have really out done themselves with this one.

Last Sunday the Haltech Compak Attak was on at Sydney Dragway.
We were asked to join the pit crew for Queen Street Racing to prepare and maintain the two cars they were racing on the day.
The “BARB8S” RB30 Powered Gemini and the “QSSR” 20B powered E36 M3 both performed well on the day
with the Gemini running an 8.4 second pass and the BMW running a 7.806.
