ba gt rims look neat on the el, i prefer them over the dark argents.

by **wombi90** » August 24th, 2012, 7:54 pm

Thanks mate they look good I reckon just weird at the start, probably keep the dark argents for my el ghia

by **OMY-747** » August 24th, 2012, 11:02 pm

by **wombi90** » August 25th, 2012, 8:34 pm

Just fitted the ssl's to the front sits so much better now, needs a camber kit and wheel alignment quick smart though, I'll try to get it done before I fly out Wednesday, makes the wheels look so much better

IMO i dont think it sits that low, kinda looks like mine on sl kings :S

by **wombi90** » August 26th, 2012, 9:24 pm

Yeah ssl's springs were near new when I bought them so they should settle lower still, I want the rear lower around 1cm

by **OMY-747** » August 27th, 2012, 8:14 pm

Looks even better again now it's lower mate :good:

by **wombi90** » August 27th, 2012, 11:20 pm

Well the ba gt's were short lived pretty sure I buckled 1 or 2 driving to Melbourne and back, getting them checked out tomorrow, I pulled over in a servo and jacked each side and spun the wheel, looks like front right has a slight buckle, front left looks ok, I'll put the rear on stands and check the rear tomorrow,

by **braad** » August 28th, 2012, 9:26 am

Lol damn, they were short lived

by **wombi90** » August 29th, 2012, 3:01 am

Yeah sure were, tyre shop wouldn't take them off my car today because of the spacers, so the ftrs are back on for now, im going to look at another set of ba gt wheels in a week, have a bit of rash though I'll fix them and paint them champagne might put them on my el Ghia,
I fly out to port Douglas today so I'll have to get them checked out when I get home, found a few other goodies lately too

if all turns out well I'll be happy just have to wait and see,

by **wombi90** » August 29th, 2012, 3:30 am

by **wombi90** » August 29th, 2012, 5:23 pm

Just bought this pretty sure it's a el gt gear knob

by **wombi90** » September 8th, 2012, 12:59 am

Slight change of plans sold all the stuff to suit the Crow cam so j3 cam vernier cam gear etc, I've got a dev 5 kit here now just have to check what head came with it the bloke said it was a race series head, I rang Jim mock he confirmed it was a dev 5 cam, has the roll master vernier gear Jim mock valve springs, and it has a ported bbm aswell, going to rebuild a motor looking into a acl rebuild kit with high comp pistons,

Im going to do the manual conversion once my clutch shows up I've got a j3 to just suit a el xr6 manual from a mate I'm going to borrow till the new motor will go in and I'll get cve to tune it,

Picked up a Ed Xr diff that was rebuilt with 3.9s so I'm going to get that center put in this diff aswell

by **misk** » September 8th, 2012, 1:42 am

how do you like the konis dude?
how firm did you set them?
they are sooo much better than the usual shit that people use.

also, pleaase send those templates dude

by **wombi90** » September 8th, 2012, 2:07 am

Mine are on softest setting and there still pretty firm, you can Feel the front floating around over bumps and the rear is fine I'm selling my bilsteins and going to get koni yellows to match if I get around $200 for the bilsteins It won't be to much of a difference in price as getting the bilstiens rebuilt, I'll look for those templates over the weekend

by **wombi90** » October 10th, 2012, 8:39 pm

Long time since an update, well in the next week or two ill be receiving my ticky kit from JETXR thanks man,

I sold the crow cam and the rest of the stuff to go with it, but got a jmm head complete with vernier cam gear valve springs and a dev 5 cam, also brought an au Tickford motor to rebuild and use jmm stuff on ill be getting the sump cut and welded to clear the k frame,

Then there was another worked head with receipts on eBay so I put a bid on that thinking I wasn't going to win but I won it at the starting price so I'm picking that up after c4c,

Still waiting for my clutch to come from Turbo XR6 aus post lost it but its on its way I believe, and aus post lost my clutch pedal pin kit from malwood so they resent another last week aswell then I can start the manual conversion

by **OED666** » October 10th, 2012, 9:12 pm

Did you receive the pedal pin kit yet?? Farken hope so!

by **wombi90** » October 10th, 2012, 9:19 pm

Nah man nothing yet, ill give it to the end if the week then ill go see aus post, but stuff I've bought of eBay has turned up so its weird

by **rat** » October 10th, 2012, 10:33 pm

What are you doing with the jmm head? Going to sell it on? May be keen.

by **wombi90** » October 11th, 2012, 6:31 am

Which ever head I don't use will be for sale, I'm going to wait till I pick up the other and then ill decide which one to use.

by **rat** » October 11th, 2012, 8:35 am

Cool cool. Did you confirm if the jmm was a race series?

by **wombi90** » October 11th, 2012, 11:57 am

Can't confirm what series it is but can confirm it is a jmm head, there's not much info on how to identify them which makes it hard

by **wombi90** » October 12th, 2012, 5:57 pm

A few pics of things

by **OED666** » October 12th, 2012, 7:49 pm
