[SnyperEB]

Ouch Danny that sucks man.

[stav50]

thats shithouse mate, nothin on any cameras?

[Commando]

Damn

Maybe even it up & do the other side? Call it a Secret or Veilside or whatever kit.

[holmsy]

sucks man.
not the cheapest part to replace either.
hopefully didnt damage the globes cause they arent cheap either.

[obriza]

thats shithouse mate, nothin on any cameras?

nah the cameras are really bad and barely cover any of the car park. it looks like just the bar and the light bracket both have to be replaced the rest can be repaired so i guess im lucky it was so high and it didnt hit any earlier or id be up for alot more

[ed4ltr]

Man that pisses me off,i can understand people just leavin after a shoppin trolley dent or something but fu*k me thats just plain f*cked leavin damage like that on someones car..

[brockefxr6]

tell me about it i work at safeway i see people every day that have it done to them and then they have the nerve to take it out on us guys just doing our job

[stav50]

fair enuf, might be able to go el front, remember u mentioning something like that?
also whats hapnin power wise for this thing atm? got any plans?

[obriza]

things are on the way for more power, just might take a while to get it all as im on a bit of a tight budget at the moment

[obriza]

ok quick update... After the last 2 years progress has been very slow as have had alot of other things to pay for. But finally have got the new setup on and the front bar has been replaced with an EL XR bar. Heres a couple of pictures of how it looks now. Cooler is off center and quite low as I wanted to keep the air conditioning as this still is my only car. Sorry its a bit dirty.
From front

Also a GT42 has now been installed after being N/A for so long, feels great to have boost again. Currently is just running off the waste gate at 5psi as haven't had the boost controller installed yet, will be on soon enough. It currently has 182rwkw at 5psi and feels very responsive and power comes on pretty early, around 2000rpm. Aiming to be boosting it up as soon as the controller is in. Heres a photo of the engine bay.

[LUXO_8]

Awesome looking setup man, bet it's fun again

[obriza]

yes it is fun again, just need that extra boost. Can really feel it just wants so much more. Being a GT42 and comp at 8:1 it needs it.

[LTDHO]

Pulled the badges of the guards yet?

[obriza]

nah theyre still there

[obriza]

quick update, this week I've had a little work done, finished off the 3 inch exhaust as before it was 3 inch till diff and back to 2.5" for some back pressure as there was quite little boost going through.
So now it has 3" all the way through, also finally had turbo timer and boost controller fitted and after playing with a couple of settings, now once it comes on boost i have a pipe coming off every time. Getting fixed tonight as it just looks like the pipe was missing the weld spots to hold the silicone piping on better. Still have to get it tuned for higher boost though, so its still running 5psi for now, hopefully to be tuned next week.

[EFFalcon]

get some TBOLT hose clamps.

[Eb Barbie]

Sounded good the other week, will have to go for a drive once it's tuned etc.

[obriza]

definately beth, cant wait. Hopefully will be all finished this week and ready for gor sunday

[sikwags_218]

Just seen this, it looks great man. Loving the GT42. Can't wait to see hte boost up and what it makes.
Keep the updates coming
Cheers Scott

[obriza]

Fixed the cooler pipe problem today. The weld spots were on it, hose clamp just wasn't under them so pushed the pipe a bit higher so now it should stay on. Hit 10psi boost and seemed to hold well, didn't want to hit higher boost as its not tuned for it yet, but felt great! Just a few little things left to do now and fingers crossed it will be 100% for GOR on Sunday... Hopefully good weather too

[Parfrey]

Always liked this thing.. should be even better now with a GT42 hanging off it! How much power are you looking for?
EL front looks nice too.

[SLO4LT]

EL XR front looks much better! hope your tune goes good, and hopefully see you out on GOR!

[obriza]

Would love to get 330+rwkw and a low 11 second pass. Would be happy enough with 250rwkw though, don't want to set goals too high just yet just in case

[obriza]

Quick update, got a tune done today. Still a few issues with the car... Always is the way. Need new spark plugs, leads and fuel reg. Is getting a weak spark, also has a couple of exhaust leaks which didn't help either.
Anyways with all troubles aside, the car pulled 249.8rwkw on the dyno at 13psi. Once the problems are all sorted we will be boosting it higher, but didn't want to risk it just yet. Still feels great and doesn't really spin the wheels too much when it comes on boost, which is what i wanted. It just spins a little, but doesn't kick out which is great.

[SLO4LT]

Even with needing all them it felt like it goes awesome! made me
feel like my car was an absolute slug when I got it in it later
gotta be happy with that man and there will always be issues!

[obriza]

Thanks man, 140rwkw is pretty good though still, my old car had 146rwkw and still felt really good when i was driving it as my daily when this was charged. 5 speed ftw

[SLO4LT]

Some pics taken on the weekend

[XR_Lightning]

both mint examples of e-series!

[sikwags_218]

Faark yeah they look mint
So how is worked6 going, did you get all the little issues sorted man

Cheers Scott

[obriza]

Nah money has been very tight lately, got new plugs and leads and that feels to have fixed the spark problem. Exhaust leak and fuel reg are still to be done soon enough along with another time and hopefully some good numbers

[someLS1]

Looks tough with the simmons on

[EF ECTIV]
