The Boosted Barbie Car - No more, now SOLD

[Eb Barbie]

Did you talk her into that Pete? Haha!

Nope! That's been my plans for awhile. Not long and the motor's gonna give in so may aswell upgrade.

around here it cant really be driven

Hasn't stopped me

Thats the best way to go to keep it stealthy.

So what turbo is she running on that thing anyway.

Info is earlier in thread T04

[NUT347]

Lol it looks tops beth!

Cooler looks aggressive as!!

[Eb Barbie]

Thanks Josh!

Won't be taking it out this weekend/anytime soon, Pete's car is on its way to Preston as we speak!

[NUT347]

What's Preston?

[t1MMy]

A suburb down here.

[EFFalcon]

why is petes car going to preston??

[Eb Barbie]

Impound Well I am waiting to hear back from him in case he is April Fooling me lol.

[t1MMy]

He told me he got done for noise so they impounded it...lol. Nice try Pete!

[EFFalcon]

liar.

[Eb Barbie]

Haha correct, not that gullable Peter

[Eb Barbie]

Picked up DJR bar yesterday. Was so looking forward to getting it on and driving the EB but it doesnt fit!

Cooler has been painted black and drying as we speak...

[KR1STO]

spewin about the bar....
can it be modded just a little to hide most of the cooler...?

[Nikk O'lass]

WRX bar!

[Eb Barbie]

Nope, only way that MIGHT make it fit is to muck around with piping and raising cooler which we still think it might not fit so seems silly coz I haven't actually bought the bar yet in case it didnt fit. Dont want to have to buy it, cut it up and then it still not fit.

[Michael (HYPOEB)]

Aw that sucks! i was looking at getting a DJR bar,I guess not now
Maybe a brock bar will hide it?

[Eb Barbie]

Depends on your set up & size cooler etc. I also still have air con still so that doesn't help.

[misk]

scorcher would be the closest fit, or a MMM bar
but as you said beth, it really depends on the placement of the cooler.
yours doesnt sit that far forward though, i think a scorcher would hid it quite well.
you might have just part of the silicon bend showing though.

[pHaT`eL]

Its just how low the cooler sits. If it was a bit further back and up a bit (air con deleted) it would be sweet!

[Dezza]

If you want to suss out if it will fit behind the Scorcher bar, we can try mock it up with mine if you want. It's only held on by 2 bolts and a few tech-screws anyway

[Gunns]

Just unbolt the reciver dryer and push it back hard against the radiator. This is what I had to do to make it fit.

[bentls]

needs more mini spool!

[Eb Barbie]

Few changes to this. The pink on the outside is gone, temporarily painted black/strips removed. I have a new door to go on to replace dint, cooler is now black and it's riding on stockies and caps.

I am looking at selling it. Will be regretful sale but x2 reg, x2 ins and mortgage sucks! I wanna travel and do some things to the house. This was my first car and has been turbo for a year and a half and I have had a ball with it. Someone elses turn now

Looking for 3k as is with 6 months reg if anyone interested. Will chuck it on ebay or put for sale thread up once I have recent pics.

[[Sterling]]

Sell the lane and the EB a buy a BA turbo?
Best of both worlds. Comfy safer.
Even though to some people BA are thereason behind every death since hitler.

[Eb Barbie]

Nah I'll stick with a V8 for a while. I love the lane, has everything I wanted (sunroof, leather etc) just not quite as fun as the EB

[huggiebear]

boost the lane... its a growing trend lol

[pHaT`eL]

Dumped and exhaust will be fine with the lane

Will get a thread up when new pics are taken.

With a fuel reg, this thing will actually go alright I reckon.

[bentls]

lol but windsors are slow... get a holden beth, you know you want to

[Eb Barbie]

lol but windsors are slow... get a holden beth, you know you want to

I dont care about power though If I was to get a Holden I'd buy John/zervos' car. Loved being behind the wheel of that

[EFFalcon]

Nah, buy Max's, atleast its a real Calais

[pHaT`eL]

Zervo's interior wins tho

Cheap buy for someone after a turbo E-series!

[Eb Barbie]

I thought so when you count in turbo was professionally done by CVE Performance, cooler thanks to Kev etc.

[huggiebear]

hell yeah. mines only a small turbo setup and its well over the 3k mark and its not even done yet. having a roadworthy car with turbo system already done for 3k is well worth it

[NickosEL]

PM sent

[EFFalcon]

please dyno it before you sell it
I'd love to know what kinda power its makin.

[ZEROPSI]

To be completely honest I can't say I'm a huge fan of the styling. That said, I think you have done a top job with it. It really stands out and there's the attention to detail which in my opinion is what makes a car great.

Good work

[Eb Barbie]

Haha nah that's cool, it's a chicks car so what do you expect had plans to go pale grey leather interior and chrome strips on outside etc but dont have time or $$ at moment.

Hopefully I can sell it to someone through the club who will dyno it, I'd be keen to see what it has too! Have kept up with a few cars I didnt expect to in the past

Keep it at all costs. Once again, it's not my taste but it's worthy of holding onto. It's a character defining car.

[pHaT`eL]

you dont like stock looking EB's with coolers exposed?

Id take a stab at around the 160rwkw mark on petrol. Slap a rising rate fuel reg on it and it will be swoit!

[John_LS1]

Nah, buy Max's, atleast its a real Calais

no love at all from this bloke!

we've converted Joe to the LS1, I think beth should be next.
