Halliday Racing Developments

Bit of a shame we won’t be making the last round this weekend 😭
With winter closing in though, it’s officially project season 💪
We’ve got a pretty unique one in the shop at the moment… a BMW V8-powered ute. It has run before, but the automatic transmission has called it quits, so it’s time for the next phase.
We’ve put together a short video showing the progress so far from machining and welding to a fair bit of head scratching 😅
Check it out 👇

With Legends of Speed coming up this weekend and celebrating Kiwi ingenuity and engineering in motorsport, what better time to show off some of our handy work.
Here’s a look at the English / Atlas hybrid diffs we’ve been building. Using axles and L*D units from 3J Driveline, these setups strike a great balance between weight and strength.
Running the lighter English centre paired with Atlas 18-spline axles gives you the best of both worlds lightweight where it counts, but strong enough to handle the load when you're trying to put the power down, even on higher-powered road and race cars.

Had a really cool visit from the Auckland Mustang Car Club today, awesome group of people and some seriously tidy Mustangs 👌💪
Always good to talk cars, share stories, and show them what we’ve been working on.
Here’s a few photos from today’s visit, plus a sneak peek at our next race car, freshly painted and the engine’s ready to go 🔥
Not long now… 🏁
