New member from Australia
« on: November 22, 2013 - 12:45:32 AM »
Hi there,
I'm from Brisbane in Australia and have had my 71 cuda for 3 months now. I'm biased I know, but the car is just beautiful and it runs like a cut snake. This is my first mopar after 30 years of driving lots of other makes, but mostly holdens, chevys and subarus. Now I know what all the fuss was about with the mopar crowd, but later is better than never.
cheer, Brad.

Hi Hemiken,

Here are a couple more photos of my cuda, yes its's black all right, inside and out. Only thing I want to upgrade is the brakes, they are manual at the moment and it takes some effort to stop her in time.

cheers, Brad.

Hi Ken,

It's already LO2 complianced and registered. It's already got disc brakes, I just would like to add a power booster to the setup to give it more stopping power. I've been looking at this setup, apparently it will bolt right up ready to go. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/380496502287?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

cheers, Brad.
