The Holden 308 Kingswood takes on some Drifting at Sydney Motorsport Park

- We managed to finish off one set of tyres before grinding to a halt with the intake manifold gasket leaking oil into one of the cylinders, power steering high pressure hose burst when I hit full steering lock at revs on the third lap and I am now 3/3 with hitting left hand rear quarters in all my cars which sucks but its the game we play. The event is Driving Sports drift & drive and it is alot of fun but this car is not built to do drifting very well at all so the next drift outing is going to be the og mcfry big block which not only handles much better but can do alot more.
DRIVELINE RUNDOWN:
308 Holden 10:1 comp, vn heads, edelbrock airgap, crane 286 cam, made 287rwhp but had valve float on dyno at 6000rpm ( which I may have fixed but not sure) Th400 standard with 3200 stall, 10 bolt diff with a harrop truetrac fitted and 3.36 diff gears.
This is better than 90% of the drifting content on UA-cam.
Its a perfect example of what drifitng is about, run what ya brung get out there and have a blast! Well done sir!
That's absolutely spectacular. Very impressed with this Aussie 308. I thought like a lot of others you might be running a 350 chev. And 278 rear wheel horsepower is really too notch 👌👍💪
Radial Tuned Suspension 🔥
Great to see 2 Aussie mates having a bit of fun in the old v8 Kingswood, music to my ears, thanks..
I had all those problems when I took my Tank Fairlane to the track too .
Power steering doesn't like being spun that fast . I modified the water pump pulley with a small pulley welded on just in front of the vee for the water pump vee , then powered steering pump from there now power steering spins half the speed problem solved 😊.
Modified the rocker cover too to stop blowing oil out of breather .
Nothing like a day at the track to find those little short comings, you just can't find that stuff on the street .
Happy motoring
Ya just put an electric astra P/s pump on is the simplest best fix
man that was fkng brilliant. What's with the warnings from the officials? Seeing cars like yours being driven like that would be the highlight of any event. Well done sir. Well done.
Probably enjoying themselves too much. 2023 no fun allowed.
It was spinning out twice in 2 laps and a passenger arm out the window. I wasn't the only one so I wasn't to concerned but it is hard to not spin out when pushing a car to its limits especially a boat. But I didn't tear up any grass or track edges which was a solid effort, I just spun on the tarmac.
Now there's something that you don't see every day!
Good stuff mate 👍
I'm Ford all the way. But seeing any of the old girls like this is pure pleasure. Good on ya boys. 👏 👏👏👍
Mate that's awesome. I've never seen a big body Holden get thrown around like that
Contrary to popular belief the extra weight makes them a bit more predictable, as long as you got the horses to get yourself out the hole you just got yourself into lol
Best moment of nostalgia I've seen in decades!!
Absolute pleasure to watch and listen to, thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
Hi,
Mate your going well developing great skills, nice to see the old 308 showing it up.
Thanks
Love the Laughing the whole time, how awesome is that, proud aussie moment I recon
Great to see and hear Aussie muscle drifting with the buzz boxes.
What a thing of beauty. Thanks for sharing and taking one for the team.
Finally a drift car i enjoy watching. Has Ted would say Not the Kingswood. 👍
This is what UA-cam is all about
A proper man's car
Real Steel swingin out!
Awesome man good job love your work mate
I loved every second of that. Takes me back to the good bad ol days when these tanks were the daily ride. PS is for wimps lol Nothin better than hitting a nice curve with the L43 singing at 4 1/2 and you got all 4 wheels throwing smoke :P
Mind you I had to go back and pick my 🎱s up off the bitumen a few times from clenching my B cheeks too hard lol
Bloody great effort throwing the HMS McFry around.
That was satisfying 😅
Great stuff!!…straight into it with no bullshitting about
Incredible! Never before seen
Ah the the joy of a 308
Yeah, gota love the nifty 50 :)
That was awesome mate!
Mint! Looks like you passed your boat license with flying colours
Bahahaha that Intro! Effing Gold man! Love it!
Thats awesome, i was out there last night in the silver evo. Love the plates 😂👍
Legend
Nice driving mate 👍👍👌👌
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact: every 15 psi you go up in tyre pressure is equal to 100hp at the wheels
So awesome 👍
Nothing sounds like a bent 8 doig what it does best. 🥰
Wicked
I had an HJ the same color running a 350 Chev. Looked exactly the same because I would run the Stock rims to avoid attention. The stock tyres used to blow off about the same amount of smoke above 60% throttle 😂. Sorry about the rear quarter. That's a more difficult repair than it first appears.
excellent real men drift real cars......i was brought up drifting 70,s falcons bigger the better stato,s wagons fairianes sick
is there much done to that 308? btw, that was epic all round!!
It would have to be Far from stock :o
Possible flat tops to up the compression ratio, Genie 4 into 1 tuned, riser manifold with a tricked 780 Rochester, some port and valve work and HD rods and lifters all topped off with a 35/75 high flow cam and you have a tank that will make smoke in at least 1st and 2nd, and maybe even 3rd on a fast drift through a traumatic :P

Just an educated guess from listening to it and watching it.
Legend bro🤙👊
How good, go the 5.0
Yeah looks and sounds bloody brilliant great skill mate.
Must be the RTS working😁
hahahaha.... when they REALLY got it together....
Need to do this sometime, ive got a HJ with a built 355 putting out 390 horses which would be so much fun to drive at a drifting event
fcking oath it would. My HX only had 324 at the tyres and it did nothing but spin the tyres.
@@borismcfinnigan3430 yeah foot to the floor it just spins tyres as well haha, but its on pretty wide tyres for traction so if i give it a rolling start it just goes
@@pikachude5490 Oh yeah i only ever ran 215/60 bridgestone turanzas on it when it was in that spec, 4.44s and a 4500 convertor she loved to party
@borismcfinnigan3430 yeah I'm running 275's so much wider haha
Never late in a 308..... Just a cruiser you said. 😅.
That's choice as..
Just cruising sideways 😎
Yeh boi
Fuck me, this bloke can steer 👌
Engine sounds strong.
Did you screw it together or did you get the little fat man(brad) do it?
Looks better than a s chassis
Not in the kingswood!
What awesome content what.has being done to the engine
Its a 308 60thou, vn heads ported, flat top pistons, crane 286 flat tappet, 650 holley, edelbrock air gap intake. Pretty basic worked engine but on the cheaper side.
@@MCFRYMotorsport sounds awesome
@@MCFRYMotorsport lol, I just took an educated guess to reply to another same question and darn near quoted what you said here. I had a personal fetish for the Fedral Mogal 35/75 high flow cams back in the day. So sweet between 3 1/2 and 5 1/2. I never used a riser, but always cross flowed my stock intakes. Hated Holleys and could always get better out of a tricked 780 Rochester (admittedly you had to know how to talk sweet to the rodies, but most went with the easy Holly option and did OK)
Bloody good driving.
How are the forearms?
They got a solid workout
Hi mate, are you running the Harrop trutrac from your previous upload in this clip? Cheers
@@donnydidit8450 yes
@@MCFRYMotorsport thanks. Cops a flogging! My next move with similar hp. Enjoy
@donnydidit8450 if you go further along in the videos the diff is holding near 600rwhp at the moment. I broke the tailshaft which was a uni failure but have upgraded that now also to a bigger 1350 uni.
@@MCFRYMotorsport roger, thanks, I have an og 1 tonner Salisbury with the bigger Axels and yoke so I’ll cross the fingers with the balanced og Tailshaft and deal with it as it comes. I wont be doing what you do! But it’s a great set of clips to help and see the performance. Thanks again
Kingwood 202 trimatic was my first car, no power steering, in the wet... Might LS, might not, might not turn either....
Seeing this gave me huge nostalgia you're a legend 🍻🍻🍻
What modifications have you done for it to somewhat handle better?
How much power you making?
I love this lol
Man I think someone stole ya car, some shady looking dude tried to run me down in it at Drugerford shops!😂
Haha
Love that shit!
What size stall in the t400?
Its just a b&m econo stall around 3200rpm
@@MCFRYMotorsport mint mate. My 355 is about to get dynod, should go close to 380rwhp in a HG kinga. Seeing what your doing with 100 less makes me excited.
@@MCFRYMotorsportWhat do you think of those things mate? I was almost keen to get one for my 355/trimatic as they seem cheap and after the engine i am tapped out lol
I had a 308 HZ ute 30 years ago, there s no way it had enough power to do that.
I had 1 with 350 in it use to go hard real hard into that that power pole one of my worst days
Nah, you need to pulls some tricks on a nifty 50 to get it to do that, but most of it wasn't too expensive and "Off the shelf" at the time :)
You'll need to shampoo those mudflaps boy.
Wasnt Mcfry black????
Yeah this is not that car, this just has the og plates as mcfry was taken of the road by the rms.
@@MCFRYMotorsportwho took it off the road?
@spikesta3593 the rta/rms had a crack down on illegally modified cars and wanted me to take it to the pits
@@MCFRYMotorsport that beast actually had rego? mad cruisin thu the maccas drive thru in that. Can I take your order please? blap blap grumble runble, sorry I missed what you just said
@@MCFRYMotorsportSorry i am late here, what was illegal about it mate?
I’ve never driven SMP just Queensland tracks and Raleigh. Firstly it’s cool you like drifting but there is a reason you get a hard time from organisers. Actually super annoying when people who bring unsuitable cars and waste track time by spinning and dropping fluids on track. Also these cars really slow down start line queues too because no one will be able to tandem with this car. Honestly drifters want to be helpful and will give rides to people who want to have a fun experience on track who don’t have a car, and we aren’t worried about aesthetics so Nothing wrong with trying to drift a old school car just need to work out the basics of suspension and steering so that you don’t piss off other people who paid for track time. In Qld you actually have to qualify at a beginner event for more serious events so that only suitable cars can enter.
This event is different, there are no start line queues and its drift & drive. Everyone goes out and the idea is to let the faster cars overtake you and to not slow anyone up.
I wouldn't take it back again like it is so this is really a one off for it, reason being mainly it doesn't have enough hp, it is on the slow side and the power steering pump is garbage. The tyres used play a huge part in how unstable it is and I needed the tiny 185 tyres on the back otherwise I wouldn't have been able to even get it to turn tyres. I can go all day in the other car without spinning out it just needs decent rear tyres fitted and actually has the hp to drive them.
😆 🤣 😂
Open ya mouth when you're speaking yeah! Mumbles Malone ova here.

Rich people
How poor do you have to be to think someone with a maybe worth 40k as I don't know what's been spent on it, are rich😂 grown up mate and get ya life together
@@vxcommodorewagon3.8 the attitude of the "car scene" lies within your comment.
You laugh as though 40k is just nothing... Like people just have ten times that just sitting in their account at all times to spend on whatever they want... While at the same time they're bringing up a family, paying off a mortgage and going on holidays... It's insane
I forgot most of these people are up to their eyes in credit card debt too
To hell with drifting. Promotes anti social behaviour, pollutes the atmosphere, no skill required, just being stupid is sufficient. It's as much of a sport as lawn bowls. I hope it's banned for ever.
You fishing over here, hate to see what you think of burnouts.
Gotta be the stupidest comment I've seen on the internet, just because your life turned out crap doesn't mean everyone else's has to, you clicked on a video with the word drifting in the title and had a cry when that was what the video was about, calling people stupid who do it is ironic considering you think it takes 0 skill and promotes anti social behaviour when you can see in the video these 2 good mates are having fun doing this which is pretty sociable to me. And the thing pollution, the difference this makes too global warming is so minor i cant even put it into words, if you care that much about the climate what you could do is just off yourself 😁 (that's the nicest way I can put it) and that 1 less person will put a lot less c02 into the atmosphere then these guys are adding to it having fun, cheers
No skill? You would lose it at the first turn
Kingswood mayhem beauty
