by **boostedbb** » December 27th, 2009, 7:49 pm

spent the day today clearing the shit out of my new shed to get the car home, got it all teed up to pick it up from my parents place first thing in the morning so she will finaly be home and i can realy start on her, got a mate who is right into building and tuning turbo ricers he is coming in the new year towards the end of jan to have a play around and get it running right and see what kind of performance we can get out of it i just have to have the rest ready for him ny then, got a dyno organised for the day so will keep you posted. then i have to decide if im puting it back to standard for rwc and rego or just go for it as is and see what happens?

by **boostedbb** » December 28th, 2009, 9:49 am

well i have good news and bad news she is now home which is good but the bad news is the fuktards that built the motor apparently couldn't put a motor together to save there lives started it to drive up the drive way and it pours oil out of the sump the rear main seal and pumping from under the head somewhere so they can pay some one to pull the motor out and fix it cause i can't be bothered doing it all again

Oh shit, that sux, sounds like they had the apprentice on the job, and forgot to do up some bolts.. who did you get to build the engine?

by **boostedbb** » December 28th, 2009, 1:54 pm

against my better judgement i let MAE do it i new they would **** it up

anyway on a lighter note i have started on dash mounting a gps in her i got an airbag section from another ef and cut the bag off the back (didn,t do it to mine cause i need rwc still) cut a rectangle in it mounted a bit of wood at the back and recovered it in material i haven't finished yet the material is only tacked on but it will look something like this

only there will be no creases around the unit or edges like i said this is only tacked and dummy fitted

mmmm yes, not the best engine builders.. you should have taken it to G&P.. It's good to see some progress tho.. :good:

by **boostedbb** » December 28th, 2009, 5:11 pm

yeah g&p fuked the last one they built for me it had to be fixed 4 times and that is when i worked at sprints with them lol if i should of just sent it away for a little extra $$$

Oh shit, I've had them do heaps of jobs for me and never had an issue..

by **boostedbb** » December 28th, 2009, 9:18 pm

i must of been unlucky the motor they built me lasted 2 days and i didn't even flog it then they rebuilt again and lasted about 1 month but shit happens no point complaining just get it fixed and move on i suppose

by **sexyr6** » December 28th, 2009, 9:33 pm

that motor didn't happen to be an XF motor was it?

by **boostedbb** » December 28th, 2009, 9:37 pm

xd but it ended up in an xf about 3 builds later, on the second rebuild they machined the head and put high compression pistons it ended up needing 2 decomp plates under the head as it was around 14:1 haha

by **boostedbb** » January 7th, 2010, 10:18 pm

just an update to where were at now the engine builders are sending a guy out the weekend after next to pull the engine down and fix it again hopefully it will be done properly this time i imagine it will as they are losing money doing it

anyway today i put the interior back together "AGAIN" it is the first time at has been fully assembled since i got rid of the farked up white paint interior thought i would throw a few pics up to see were its at coming along well now if all goes well it won't be far off being on the road "fingers crossed"

looks like scratches on the bar but it is just shit off the polishing cloth on it

by **LOW_XR** » January 8th, 2010, 7:57 pm

by **Jake** » January 8th, 2010, 8:01 pm

by **boostedbb** » January 8th, 2010, 8:13 pm

by **EF ECTIV** » January 8th, 2010, 10:01 pm

Not as embarrassing as putting FPV badges on cars that would normally be Tickfords!

FPV badges on E-Series is a 'Yagz' spec mod

No badges FTW

by **KR1STO** » January 9th, 2010, 5:01 pm

by **boostedbb** » January 9th, 2010, 5:16 pm
