El gli pov pack..

got an lsd with 3:45's sitting here rotting away.
new headlights, roof lining, little clip that holds the passenger sun visor up, lots of little shit like that.
new tyres so i can get my 18's back on the rear instead of stockies.

find a written off el xr6 which has all the surviving parts
bumper, headlights, grill, bonet,
interior - seats, door trims, front elec windows,
any other goodies i can steal from it.

faster bits, im thinking headwork perhaps?

and yeah.

Step 1: Buy a 6 cylinder E-series
Step 2: Attach two VF10's (and associated modifications)
Step 3: Run a 12 second pass on stock internals, gearbox, and computer (or as little computer work as I can get away with)
Step 4: Sell car for profit.
Step 5: Start again with another make/model. Maybe one of those Diahatsu Applauses. I think one of them could do with 20psi down it's throat... Sleeper of the century anyone?

Nah you can. The max is 8 litres for the small windsor. Racetrick? / Racetech? / Raceway? parts in the states sell a crank and rods kit. Do a google search.

My planned mods for the ute:

BA conversion
T5 conversion
Thermofan + E series rad conversion
Lokka
lowered suspension
Fix droopy doors
Replace bonnet and front bar
Fix rust
T04z / GT51R on 6boost manifold
Big injectors
skids

Some of these may not happen.

firebug484 · Post by **firebug484** » September 18th, 2009, 9:58 am

does anyone know much about spacers, i want to fit these 17" BA XR6 rims and i had these 30mm spacers but they wont fit the XR6 rims, so i took them to tafe and asked a lecturer if he could machine them for me but he showed me that the centre ring in the middle of the 2 of the spacers had a tappered edge and the other 2 didnt. I originaly wanted him to just machine a mm off the top of the middle ring but he said it's not the top its the diameter and the diameter is only a mm and a half thik so he said my best bet is to get the inside of the rim engineered, I dont realy want to do that because they're not my rims they are my old mans so he went down and got a quote from some place to take a mm off from the inside bit the hub siits into to and the guy rekons it will cost $300. I dont really want to wreck the old mans rims because they wont be on my car forever so does anyone know where i can a 30mm spacer to fit BA offset?

I (and probably most on here) would have thought you'd have a loop on wwway before you were running mid 9s !

I know I'm way off anything yours does - but I had a loop put in when I was running 13s - I know my shaft is not a standard EL Ghia shaft...but just figured, why risk it - for the small outlay, it's def a good thing to have

that's my way of thinking to, i'm only running 15's at the minute (plan to be quicker)

but will be doing more track time either way & don't wont to be breaking any pole volt records
