35th Anniversary Build-Off

1986 was a special year for Haltech – that’s when the company was founded – and this year marks Haltech’s 35th birthday. And what better way to celebrate Haltech’s 35th birthday than by doing a 1986 car build! But we’re not just building one car – we’re building two! Two cars – built simultaneously on the opposite sides of the world. Do it – they said, it’ll be fun, they said…

Episode 1

The rules are set – Haltech USA and Haltech AUS both have to build a car following these simple rules:
The car must be a 1986 model, the total build budget must not exceed $19,860 and both builds must be completed by Christmas. Easy.

Episode 2

The American Mustang and the Australian Skyline enter the final countdown as both teams rush to finish their builds before the end of week 4. The RB30 goes back in the car and is promptly boosted and intercooled. Dave drops by to re-wire the engine and install an Elite ECU. Team USA overhauls the Mustang’s cabin and installs a Nitrous kit to boost their all-American V8.
