Jared I agree haha The ELF will live on.....she's sporting FBT interior at the moment so it's looking pretty trick inside. Pissed the DL LTD stuff off.

Yeah J-Mac the turbo is currently still on but the car has the FBT ECU, 24lb injectors, the FBT MAF and intake in it now. Just going to put a set of pacemakers on........oh and the wolf has come off too. Should still be good for 180rwkw odd with the heads/manifold/cam combo on it so it wont be real disappointing. Will have all the piping, cooler and exhaust manifold/turbo off it soon.

I can't help but think about putting in an FG F6 motor into her down the track when I sell the astra.....will lose street cred with no V8 sound but should pick up some rwkw :yahoo:

Agreed Shaun, Daves EL was the best sounding 5.0 ever.

How does she sound now Dave?

I still remember Wilson's birthday when we took his EF out for the first time turbo'd. Hearing Dave car I had to pick my jaw up off the ground!

Jared that is very very tempting.......is it an S trim? What pulleys?

Stevo she was at AFD this year, made it down there in limp home mode :scratch:

Today found the starter motor all fried from the last engine fire it had a couple of weeks ago so replaced that and have replaced the engine loom with a fresh non-molestered one today so once I plug it in under the dash and into the ECU hopefully she'll fire up and everything will be reliable for a change!!!
