my god, the fun some rich kents would have with that

That car's been for sale a few times in the last year or so. Actually went and had a look/drive. Great mechanical setup, but the body and interior are very rough, much rougher than the pics suggest.

How much was he asking for it?

by **Rollin** » August 16th, 2009, 4:09 pm

You have to wonder why someone would fork out for a factory turbo lane and not look after it :/

Pity.

From memory it was around 6k.

It's just too rough IMO for that kinda money. If it was just like every other non-turbo lane around, it'd be a $500 car.

Shame its gone to ruin.. someone buy it and restore it to glory.

Yeah, it was when I looked at it. Had a new external gate 3540/3582, freshly built bottom end, toughened auto, rebuilt diff, microtech ecu. Was making good power on low boost, and went pretty hard for what it was.

Mechanically it was an awesome car - even the suspension was pretty good.

Pity the rest of the car was so run down. Does make for an awesome sleeper though.

by **Mr_4.0** » August 16th, 2009, 9:16 pm

what ecu etc did these run? what kinda power? exhaust etc? id try the challenge for the right price.

hey guys i just have to let you know that i have the fairlane now which has moved into nsw and now will have a el 4.0l with a t04 turbo

by **Barnsy** » March 25th, 2010, 10:42 pm

Congrats mate, keep us updated on the progress!

by **Troutman** » March 26th, 2010, 12:05 pm

Very cool mate, nice pick-up :grin:

All it would need is a bunch of NC/DC interior bits, cheap set of factory mags, couple of panels from nick-a-part and a respray and it would look as clean as anything else out there... or you can just keep the sleeper look going.

by **avo fairlane** » April 17th, 2010, 7:14 pm

hi everyone i just want to let you know that it will have gt3540 off a xr6 and manifold and i will be fitting a set of 19" ba gtp wheels or a set of big 12 slotters i want to get to 280-300 kw

by **Sunboost** » April 17th, 2010, 7:21 pm

Thats great buddy but this info is useless without a time frame or pictures of the build.

by **pHaT`eL** » April 18th, 2010, 9:36 am

Id be hunting down a set of those wheels, keep it as it is in the mag

by **avo fairlane** » April 23rd, 2010, 7:25 pm

well here is a few fics for yous to look at

What manifold is that?

by **avo fairlane** » April 23rd, 2010, 7:47 pm

its a ba manifold but i am making adaptor plates to fit it to the el motor

by **needfordspeed** » April 23rd, 2010, 11:24 pm

Are you gonna cut the original head plate off? Because there's hardly any space between the turbo and shock tower as is, this would probably be the only way?

by **avo fairlane** » April 25th, 2010, 2:11 am

i am only trialing this and seeing if i have enough room or i will get a ef turbo manifold

by **NUT347** » April 28th, 2010, 8:40 am

Did he buy it off you gilly?

by **avo fairlane** » May 2nd, 2010, 10:17 pm

yer its gillys old beast

by **needfordspeed** » May 2nd, 2010, 10:46 pm

He sure did, drove from Gilgandra to Kilsyth to pick it up too!

by **avo fairlane** » June 11th, 2010, 3:59 pm

yes i did quick update i have a intercooler and have a set of mags for it,not long now untill it will be ready to see if it will start

by **theboss290** » June 11th, 2010, 11:54 pm

what you doing with the original turbo set up ?? wana sell ?

by **needfordspeed** » June 11th, 2010, 11:59 pm

I sold it ages ago

by **misk** » June 12th, 2010, 12:01 am

yeah theres no way you will get a plate between the manifold and the head and it would be a fair mission modifying the manifold to suit.
sell the manifold for $250 and buy a log manifold to suit the single cam head, will be much easier.

Wouldnt happen to still have that cluster would you?

by **LUXO_8** » June 12th, 2010, 12:39 pm

that cluster was sold to lotus on here, and i got the special harness adaptor to put a sports cluster in a digital dash car from him to put the XR8 cluster in my car

by **avo fairlane** » June 13th, 2010, 7:16 pm

i am getting a ea fairmont cluster and fitting it to the lane i am getting a log manifold

by **huggiebear** » July 13th, 2010, 6:19 pm

the other way to fix the issue if you did make an adaptor plate is to make another adaptor that bolts where the turbo is then does a 90degree curve then another flange to the turbo so the turbo sits on top instead of on the side

by **avo fairlane** » July 24th, 2010, 10:23 pm

yer i was thinking of doing that but it is just as easy to get another manifold made

by **huggiebear** » July 24th, 2010, 11:26 pm

any updates or progress on this? we need more boosted fairlane around the place

by **avo fairlane** » July 28th, 2010, 10:48 am

well atm its at a stand still due to funds but i am hopefuly going to start on getting it finished as soon as i have an exhaust manifold

by **avo fairlane** » February 6th, 2011, 5:32 pm

well good news guys i have it running and it goes hard it needs an exhaust andpiping kit but its ordered i have fotos but i have to load them later on
