get_an_eb_today - 1992 EB Spac

[get_an_ea_today]

Im thinking about selling a SVO pack. I have the 2 side badges, the boot garnish one, two seat badges, a sticker, a ea ghia digital cluster and the grill. But i have no idea what thats even worth these days, i remember paying a fair bit for them all.

[get_an_ea_today]

And for all those who havent seen the photoshop thread this is what i am aiming for.



What do you think?

[huggiebear]

i love the look, black on red with redwalls/strips looks awesome, the rear end needs something... maybe colour code the garnish

[huggiebear]

oh, just noticed you have a GT garnish.. maybe dont paint that one lol

[travs ea-xr6]

how about black but with the lip of the rim machined

[huggiebear]

i dont think that will work trav, i believe the GT-P's spokes run right to the end of the rim so you would end up with a cheap looking rim

[XR6TIM]

Looks awesome dude but needs an XR lip spoiler for sure...

[bigdell]

xr would be nice but svo would be fu(king cool

[Gozza]

would look better if the side moulds were colour coded with the darker rim. Sidewalls are almost always gay.

[JH-FALCON_S-92]

i like it just the way you done it in the photoshopping. nothing else i like the clean, straight look you have pictured.

[Malakai]

Those wheels aren't right for it. The dark paint needs bright wheels to go with it... but not chrome!

Well having this car for almost 3 years now its about time I started some more modifications lol.

So to get the ball rolling I scored a running ef gli with brand new federal tires and a new radiator for $230 + $65 for a car trailer + 1 carton of superdry to a mate to tow it = so $335 smackoes all up I had it for about a day until I stripped the parts I needed for a Serpentine Belt Conversion.




I then got all the parts I needed together and gave the dirty bits a bit of a clean up. I should also note I used an xh tensioner and belt, it was alot easier then stuffing around with the aircon thingos cutting them in half ect.



I then started dismantling the eb. Heres a quick pic of before.



Several hours later I got to this stage.




One shockingly dirty old bitch haha so after a bit of a scrub it started to look like this.




Now the fun part - putting all the new bits in It was all going great until I realized I need to grind a bit of the front alternator bracket off annnd I didnt have a grinder So after a lot of stuffing around it got all sorted and now its turned to this.



It took from 6am to 5pm on saturday to do but it was worth it, mainly for the power steering cause the last couple of weeks the power steering belt would come off or turn over or just snap and I got sick of replacing the bloody thing so I haven't had power steering for almost 2 weeks and my shoulders were killing me haha.

More mods coming soon. Thanks for reading.

nice work matt. what diff is in the EF? if its a 3.23 let me know i have a 3.08 but i want to drop it straight into the lane and now have to weld brackets to my diff..

[get_an_ea_today]

Sure, but how do I check to see if its 3.23? Is it on that tab where the bolt is?

[huggiebear]

yeah either there or a sticker on it (yellow) depending on year.

[get_an_ea_today]

Mmk i'll let you know tomorrow.

Serp belt is the best cheap mod to do to an EA-D.

Good work mate, nice effort last night too!!

[Dezza]

Good mod with the serp conversion. I did the same thing on the EA about 14 months ago after throwing about a dozen power steering belts. One of the better mods.

[Malakai]

Nice work. I hope you replaced that balancer seal though and didn't just clean it.

Cheers man, but im pretty sure your effort after taking off that hose off was waaaaaaaaaaay better haha

Nice work. I hope you replaced that balancer seal though and didn't just clean it.

No I didnt realize I had to, because in the tutorial I read it didnt mention that. Would it be worth taking it off again and replacing? its not doing anything unusual.

[LUXO_8]

definantly....thats why there was the mad buildup of oily gunk shit all over the timing cover......

Ahh ok that makes sense. I thought it was just 18years of gunk on there. Well I was thinking I want to rebuild the motor in the ef and put that in later, hopefully with some cheap boost lol.

[get_an_ea_today]

hey buddy its a 3.08

[huggiebear]

bugger. already got one of them. the issue with the 3.08's are they use a smaller housing so you cant upgrade the diff gears as they just wont fit

[get_an_ea_today]

That's the EB as it stands today and well not much is happening with it atm, its just been sitting in the garage since I bought my fairlane.



But! I gave it a bit of a interior clean today, and here's the pictures,






I might throw in a new stereo for it and do the bushes and ball joints soon and that's probably about it haha

[TechXR]

Loving those seats!

[Bipolar]

Was just thinking today that not many of the older members have loved their machines enough to keep them all these years.

Good to see this is still around.

[get_an_ea_today]

Far out man I didn't even realize I have had this car since 2007! Time goes way too fast...
