If your having issues with tuning the emanage contact Cihan at http://www.etuner.com.au

The e-manage should not be restricting you at 14-15psi, a lot of the guys with 1JZ's run good tunes up to 300rwkw with the basic emanage blue. Even more if its an ultimate.

They are also developing a turbo kit for the 1UZ

sweet....i'll look into it.

I ran it first thing in the morning before everyone came because they wanted something to just test on the dyno. then the day got busy and i couldnt be bothered running it again.

by **YBHVE4** » October 15th, 2008, 10:12 am

tested out the thicker coil rear springs with a trailer full of stones, pavers, and a few cement bags in the boot.

held up really well.

Also, got some small driving lights from a mate. I've mounted them...look alright...all needed now is wiring up.

Engine bay looks pretty clean! You still going to sell it? Shame to see it go.

yeah gotta sell it but only once I get the 4wd back so will still have it for a few more months. it will be sad to say goodbye to it

Well Allen from here contacted me about a wheel swap....so i took him up on it. This is how the EL looks now with 17inch ANZ Mayhems:

by **SLY5LT** » March 21st, 2009, 9:47 pm

thumbs up for the new rim's... :good:

by **Allen** » March 21st, 2009, 10:24 pm

Looking good Lalin, good to see you got the rear wheel's nuts sorted.

They certainly suit your car better than they did on mine!

by **pHaT`eL** » March 21st, 2009, 10:26 pm

Got a bit of a soft spot for Mayhems myself, would be mint if they were 18's though.

by **YBHVE4** » March 22nd, 2009, 8:10 am

to be honest i never really liked them but as i will be selling the car as soon as i get my 4wd back i thought there was no harm swapping. a New look would be good too.

But since fitting them....they have grown on me. I quite like them. the Mrs prefers the RT's though. Im still going to pick up some EL Ghia wheels, white wall them and throw them on every so often. This way it might appeal to more buyers as they can have the car with 17's or 15's look. Which ever one they prefer.

Allen - yeah $15 later and I had new wheels nuts for the rear :-)

by **YBHVE4** » April 6th, 2009, 1:09 pm

The Mayhems are for sale. Got some EL Ghias.

PM me offers if interested.

by **BROCKYB8** » April 6th, 2009, 1:55 pm

by **Efmont** » April 6th, 2009, 4:26 pm

by **Kaddis** » April 6th, 2009, 10:11 pm

If your after an EL XR kit PM cranners he's trying to sell his whole kit in primer pretty cheap comes with a front lip to fit an EL GLi but you could still use your front lip.

by **cranners** » April 6th, 2009, 11:10 pm

If your chasing the sides and rear PM me mate, i got both :yahoo:

by **YBHVE4** » April 7th, 2009, 8:05 am

your kidding. I was looking for ages and just sent off the front lip to the new owner :-(

by **ELOVER** » May 6th, 2009, 9:15 pm

car looks sweet with white walls!

how you get your zorst tip in so far?
i have a 2.5 inch zorst and took in twin dumpies (similar) and the guy is convinced that i cant put them in any further coz of the elbow bend after the rear muffler (which i agree with)....just wondering how you did it?

by **DAZ666** » May 9th, 2009, 11:23 am

My mate had one identical to this one when you first bought it standard. He bought it from his mate who bought it brand new from Sutherland NSW. If it is that car it was babied by both owners from new. Looks nice!

by **SnyperEB** » May 9th, 2009, 11:38 am

Love the white walls and the 34!!

by **Phillis** » May 9th, 2009, 6:43 pm

nha...fairly certain its been a VIC car all its life. it was well looked after to a extent. the previous owner become un-employed and maintence side of things lacked alot so took alot of elbow grease and $$$$ but got her running sweet now.

ELOVER wrote:what happened to the 34?

sold it. got top dollar so gave it off. it just sat in the garage 95% of the time. only came out for the odd squirt, crusies and shows. Couldnt afford to just keep.

by **ELOVER** » May 12th, 2009, 12:49 pm

ahk, fair enough.
gonna boost your farimont?

imo it doesnt need to be boosted, its a pretty damn sweet cruiser atm.

by **YBHVE4** » June 15th, 2009, 7:28 am

Well....the EL is now gone :bye:

new owner might join up here and has some nice plans to finish what i have started. Some of you guys down the Langwarrin side might see it around as the guy is from around there.

Now time for car hunting :scratch:
