InfernalTyrant's EA

by **superhuS!** » February 21st, 2011, 11:15 am

Nice base dude. should look sick once you get XR grille etc. IMO needs more low.

well seeing that you have an AU interior, i have grey AU fairlane leather seats if you're interested. And theyve been sitting in my garage for about a year now.

so ill let them go for $200. Pm me if interested.

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 3:32 pm

Yeah... it wasn't Marine Blue. Lol, my bro ordered the paint and we could see it was wrong straight away.
Got the RWC today, going in to VicRoads on Friday hopefully for the registration.

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 3:33 pm

Nah don't wanna spend any more money on it for a while lol. Gotta get accommodation for uni organised first.

by **EFFalcon** » February 21st, 2011, 3:34 pm

just keep it clean and reliable for now.

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 3:49 pm

Yep, that's the plan. Think I'll buy an EL ECU pretty soon though, to make it more reliable. Still running the EA ECU and it's not great, it's running way too rich. We got an EF ECU but it had a different plug on it so we had to get it running alright on this one, pretty dodgy fix though, blocked up the choke and unplugged the idle controller.
Booked in for registration tomorrow, I'll wash it then too and get some new pictures up. Got some pics of it with the 14"s on, put them up later.

by **92EBFAIRMONT** » February 21st, 2011, 4:49 pm

Eeeew can't wait to see it on the 14's!

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 5:18 pm

I want my tinted windows back. =[
It's filthy though, looks like I've been out in the paddock with it. Also, this reminds me, I'm headed out the door now to get rid of those stickers on the back window.

by **92EBFAIRMONT** » February 21st, 2011, 5:55 pm

Not sure if it's just me, but that looks pretty tough on those 14's, but like bogan tough, you know?

by **krazyea** » February 21st, 2011, 6:03 pm

omg lol looks out of place with them rims mate

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 6:03 pm

Yeah I don't think it looks bad actually. I love my rims though.

by **92EBFAIRMONT** » February 21st, 2011, 6:09 pm

Yeah for sure..your other rims are much better but it still isn't too bad on these ones

by **krazyea** » February 21st, 2011, 6:11 pm

with the wheels u have put white walls on them lower it abit whould look nice

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 6:48 pm

Lol nah, I'll just leave the 18"s on it. They're back on it now. Turns out that they're still roadworthy. Mechanic didn't even know what the law is on them... overall wheel+tyre diameter can't be more than 15mm larger than stock. Nothing to do with 2" for the rims, and we measured and the 18"s+tyres were the exact same size as the 14"s+tyres.

by **freerider** » February 21st, 2011, 7:25 pm

they look like deep dish chrome 12 slotters i quite like it

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 8:02 pm

Yeah lol. Because they were so offset though they were almost rubbing on the wheel arches.
Couldn't get those stickers off though, I'll have to get some cleaning shit for it.

by **DFP4LTR** » February 21st, 2011, 8:18 pm

Looks sick on 14's. Very old school, I like the 18s better but I wouldnt mind driving around like that

by **freerider** » February 21st, 2011, 8:43 pm

would kill for those 12 slotters for my ute

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 21st, 2011, 8:47 pm

Just a shame they're not mine! They belong to the bloke who works for my bro, that's his GT in the first picture. These were on the XR Falcon he's restoring.

by **freerider** » February 21st, 2011, 8:47 pm

oh and just use a Stanley knife blade and get it under the sticker.. thats what i used to get my stickers off

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 22nd, 2011, 4:36 pm

Cheers mate I'll do that.
**** VicRoads, **** them so hard. Bunch of useless pricks. Bloke came out to inspect it and rolled his wonderful little wheely stick under the car. Kent reckoned it was too low even though I had the RWC. He said I should get the mechanic assessed and probably get his roadworthy license taken from him. Like ****! Took it back to Renford's and he put it up on his hoist, had a bar that he passed under it and it hit an exhaust bracket. Moved that out of the way, put air in the tyres and it's fine. He rang VicRoads and blasted the bloke. He asked him if he's qualified to reject the suspension on a car being too low and he wouldn't answer him. So now he's gotta wait until tomorrow morning to call the head office and then he's going to call me.
Anyway... washed it while I was in Morwell, looks so much nicer. They just laid some new bitumen in between Thorpy and Morwell and now I have tar on my car. =[
Clean pictures coming soon.

by **EFFalcon** » February 22nd, 2011, 8:51 pm

fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow.

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 22nd, 2011, 9:13 pm

Cheers mate, me too!

by **freerider** » February 22nd, 2011, 11:36 pm

get some pics up of it nice and polished :grin:

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 23rd, 2011, 12:11 pm

Got it registered today with no dramas. Now I've just gotta get my license!
Won't be able to get pics up for a couple of days now.

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 23rd, 2011, 2:08 pm

Changed my mind, here's the pictures.

From this:

To this:

... just ignore those L plates...

by **EFFalcon** » February 23rd, 2011, 2:28 pm

that cleans up real nice.

by **SnyperEB** » February 23rd, 2011, 2:42 pm

Mint looking EA you have there. Very nice!!

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 23rd, 2011, 2:42 pm

Cheers blokes! Haha, iPhone photos don't really help it.

I've got EL door handles now, but I'm having a real trouble finding out what colour the car is. The door handles I've got are purple.

When I find out what colour it is I could paint the grey bars too.

by **krazyea** » February 23rd, 2011, 3:23 pm

looks good mate looking out for this 1

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 23rd, 2011, 3:26 pm

Odds are you won't see it if you're in Endevour Hills.

by **krazyea** » February 23rd, 2011, 3:29 pm

events mate

by **InfernalTyrant** » February 23rd, 2011, 3:31 pm

Dunno if I'd bother taking it to events, it's not really special enough. Might end up at a few mini meets and cruises though.

by **freerider** » March 10th, 2011, 9:34 pm

hows she goin mate any updates?

by **InfernalTyrant** » March 10th, 2011, 9:43 pm

Nah, I'm living in Melbourne now while uni's on, got a place in Carnegie with my mate. Car's still at home, and uni's stopping me from getting my license. Luckily we get heaps of holidays so I'll be able to get my license and shit then.

by **InfernalTyrant** » March 23rd, 2011, 7:35 am

I booked in for my license last night. Anybody know any good driving instructors in Warragul?

by **edfairmont4.0** » March 23rd, 2011, 8:25 am

Nice an tidy does it go alright??

Only one thing that makes it look like a VN commodore...The stickers on the back window :doh:

by **InfernalTyrant** » March 23rd, 2011, 9:10 am

Yeah it goes hard, need to get a new ECU though.
It doesn't have those stickers any more. =P

by **edfairmont4.0** » March 23rd, 2011, 6:16 pm

by **InfernalTyrant** » April 6th, 2011, 8:07 pm

These will be going in soon.

by **InfernalTyrant** » April 9th, 2011, 5:12 pm

Regarding the new ECU, does it matter at all which EL ECU to get? I've been told that any will be fine, but I'm not sure. I'll probably get it tuned eventually but I just want it to be reliable for now.
