Nervous_Dog Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 They used to be Holden (GM Asuatralia) engines. Not sure what they are no. And by the way Holdens ARE a work of art! Look at the 69 Monaro (I still want one), the HR (I had 3 of these) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Those old Holdens are definitely art - especially the Monaros. Incidentally I once saw a Thai bloke cruising around BKK in a HQ Holden. Wonder where he got it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden used to be a major supplier of cars in Thailand until the Japanese moved in. Makes sense really Thai roads had the same conditions (poor) and drive on the correct side of the road. You watch old Thai movies and the good guys are all driving Holdens. Saw an old EH station wagon running around a couple years ago. stopped me dead my tracks.

Redbaron Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Says Norfloxacin 400: I have a pic of a HD in BKK Why would I want to see a pic of a Hairy Dick? Huge Donger? If you like that kind of stuff 400, I won't hold it against you, but please don't put it in our faces!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 apparently most of them use the engines from the highly underated Honda Melody, expalins why they go so fast. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Rusty, these are no V8 engines which then would mean gasoline I presume. they are mostly 4 cylinder turbocharged Isuzu which is why they deliver so much exhaust fumes: direct injection engines. all of them are ex truck japanese imports, second hand. other than standard marine engines they do also use the car-style cooling system with a static cooler in front and not fresh water cooling from the river. The interesting thing really is the outdrive with a very small propeller which is because the gearbox works at a 1:1 reduction rate; meaning unit turns at engine revs under full speed.
