Nah there is a few non taxis popping up now.
I found one for 1500 with reg even. The auto had no 2nd gear, other than that was in pretty general condition.

To general public that's a big job, to me its **** all

by **EBOOST** » January 3rd, 2013, 10:29 pm

Sorry to be off topic congrats on getting the money, I wasn't having a go just saying it's dam good money you got.

And to add I found a ba mk2 xr6t about 3 weeks ago with rec and rego for 8k, one owner since new.
I never went and saw it because it had sold when I rang him but thats a 2005 mk2 turbo for cheaper, you'll

Oh and do you really want to chop up and turbo a genuine svo?
As in chop up I mean for cooler piping and so on

Don't run a front mount. Easy. Go w2a.

How is it ripping someone off if they chose to buy it at that price?

Not everyone is as savvy and some people just want an immaculate example of a particular model.

It was more tongue in cheek than anything, seeing as its the second car he's offloaded at way above market value.

by **Ef_frmnt** » January 4th, 2013, 4:43 pm

I'd hate to think what "market value" is for my XD....

by **89.SVO** » January 4th, 2013, 5:26 pm

Like i said. Right buyers, both times. They were both very neat examples of the models. And yes, the EB was advertised as a EB1 Falcon S

by **Ef_frmnt** » January 5th, 2013, 12:42 am

The EB was neat.... apart from the painted garnish.

by **89.SVO** » January 5th, 2013, 7:35 am

wasn't on the car when i sold it anyway. One of the tabs broke off, so it had a ghia one on it for a bit. The white one is in my shed. And i have a collage my gf made to remember it by

Got the windows tinted yesterday. Not being able to wind them down for 48 hours, 40 degree day, no A/C = a hot drive home lol
Just got darkest legal, but with the black pillars, it looks really good.

Good coin for the LTD! I paid less for my 2007 BF Fairlane Ghia
ZF 6spd and all.
And nice looking SVO, good luck with the plans!

by **89.SVO** » January 5th, 2013, 1:13 pm

Cheers nothin suss. It's slowly getting there. Paid off an amp i had on layby for it. Bought some Boge short shaft shocks for the rear, gunna buy some King SL springs for it. Putting in my Pioneer head unit from the EB today.

by **89.SVO** » January 7th, 2013, 8:59 pm

I bought the Boge rear short shocks and fitted my Pioneer unit on Saturday. i decided against lowering it.

I also tonight bought a 28 spline full spool, 38mm turbo smart wastegate, Walbro 255 in tank pump, autometer sports comp boost/vacuum gauge and AFR gauge, surge tank, drift fuel pressure regulator, 6x Siemens 650cc injectors. Sent off some enquires on W2A coolers to a supplier in Sydney.

already got the 3" turbo back exhaust and a T70 in the shed.

by **89.SVO** » January 9th, 2013, 4:37 pm

Injectors and full spool turned up.

and some other bits i bought the other day

by **TAXI** » January 9th, 2013, 4:57 pm

I would scrap the spool and tighten up a lsd.

Double post stupid phone.

by **SnipeZ** » January 9th, 2013, 5:17 pm

Buy a Kazz or trutrak

Spools are shit for street use

Cheers

by **89.SVO** » January 9th, 2013, 5:19 pm

Too late now. Bought the spool, using the spool

Eh spools are not that bad,You'll never brake it either. Not like its a daily aswell. What manifold are you using?

my brother had daily driven a handful of cars with spools. And i've driven them, they're fine. But like you said. It'll get driven maybe once a week.

I'm picking up a Snort stage 4 manifold this weekend

by **NUT347** » January 9th, 2013, 6:43 pm

Yeah spools are fine.

Just be a bit more careful in the wet.

by **89.SVO** » January 22nd, 2013, 6:38 pm

Well, the runabout is registered. So it's time to pull this car to bits and get into turbo'ing it. Cleaned the shed up last night, that's as far as it got. Seriously lacking motivation lol.

by **misk** » January 22nd, 2013, 7:10 pm

by **SnipeZ** » January 22nd, 2013, 7:18 pm
