Um...not noticeably, but then again...I wouldn't care. I love the sound of my car. Lol

Haha. Why weren't you there then! Also, 14" or 15" Stockies..?

Indeed. Everyday. 500km/week

Special Eltham Tyre Shine! Lol. ROTFL. Tyre Shine FTW! My whole engine bay was coated in the stuff!
The Extractors burnt it off when I started the car...

Very nice work mate, there's another thing I wish I didn't sell! BTW, this is an awesome looking and sounding car, and I just can't get over how immaculate your interior is, well done!

by **ORSMEB** » November 5th, 2007, 7:55 pm

Thanks mate! It was good to have 1 last ride in the turbo! Thanks for the privilege...you had some nice techniques going there.

Thanks Steve - hopefully won't be the last, gotta get my arse to some cruises when I get some time!

Steve, get some velour sunvisors, they look heaps better, blend in with the rooflining.
But as everyone else said, your car is crazy mint, and you drive it like it should be driven.
I've got memories of EDGHIA vs ORSMEB freeway runs, with me trying to keep up LOL

You're right about the sunvisors. I have been on the lookout for ages, but I want ones in top notch condition

Don't be nice to him Steve, just tell him to get a car. He's got nothing to say to that.

man how do i get my hands on these whiteline wsaybars every1 is talkin bout?

by **Steady** » January 24th, 2008, 11:09 am

The usual way you buy things?
Find someone that stocks the parts, order the parts, pay the moneys.
Autobarn/Bursons are two places I know that stock them, repco probably does too these days.

by **burnt turtle** » January 24th, 2008, 11:25 am

thanks, i jus wasn't sure coz everytime i look 4 sumtin specific from bursons they go "i don't know what that is"

Hey guys,
Over the long weekend I changed my belt setup from the three belt system to the one belt system from the EF. There was a fair bit of modifying to do it...
Thanks heaps to Johnny Z for his help.
Anyway, here are the photo's:

it didnt take to long just took 10 cans of degreaser,

good to see you got it all finished steve.

by **Bipolar** » March 13th, 2008, 9:23 am

Very very nice. Don't come up to Queensland any time soon - you'll make the EL look like a POS!

by **ORSMEB** » March 21st, 2008, 9:45 pm

Cheers guys!

Kenster, as John said, it didn't take too long to clean it, just lots of degreaser...

*UPDATE 1* - Now that there is no dry oil on the front of the engine, there is nowhere for the fresh oil which seeps out all the time to sit and get soaked up. So now I leak an extreme amount of oil everywhere I park! Some gaskets and seals need replacing! Oh well.

*UPDATE 2* - I have purchased a new headunit and installed it a little while ago. I can now play CD's and Radio in the car! Yay!

by **John_LS1** » March 22nd, 2008, 2:20 am

ORSM, wheres the pics you took today? the one of the EB and ED together

by **G3R3N** » March 22nd, 2008, 12:11 pm

Ah! Take the last photo off. lol nah, it sits nice.
The ORSMEB looks a gem. And that ED is sex too. I had my eye on it for a while when it was in the FS section.
Very nice, kudos!

Hey guys, I picked up a certain camshaft which will hopefully put some more power into the slug of a car I have. I'll let you all know when it goes in whether it's going to be any better...lol
