All i know its a crow cam (hell lumppy!) and i got MR CVE (paul) to organise all the porting ect for me. Unsure of who actually ported it. bloody alot quicker though!

by **LUVSIT** » September 8th, 2012, 7:35 pm

what sort are you going with? just a port and cam? or going all out?

by **Chargd** » September 8th, 2012, 7:43 pm

Probably all out.

by **LUVSIT** » September 8th, 2012, 7:44 pm

Chargd wrote:Probably all out.

deffently worth it

you will love the out come!

by **Chargd** » September 8th, 2012, 7:52 pm

yeh i bet, atm ive got tickford head and 977b, heaps better over stock. Although im thinking i should've got 4480's over 4499's. Im not sure how big a cam i can go without getting a stally, so im really comtemplating a manual conversion sometime along the line. Im getting Ronza to hook me up with a LSD in a few weeks he told me you got yours from him too.

by **LUVSIT** » September 8th, 2012, 9:02 pm

Not abad little set up u got going ATM, as u say better than stock though.
Yerp, sure did get my LSD from him. Bloody good one too

I buy alot of my parts thru ronza, awesome bloke and good with prices!

yeh i buy alot off him too, most of my interior pieces, my wheels + springs and diff in a few weeks once i get the camber kit on and sort out my front end. Easy guy to deal with and agree his prices are great.

At the moment im not after a hugely modded setup because my car is my daily and does alot of k's. But after xmas i will be going all out.

Thanks john, umm thinking of sell the dark argents and just wanted to see what it looked liked with the chromes on with the kit. But some people say looks good and others are haters.
I wouldnt mind looking for a style of rim like brendan has on his xh

Yer I hated it when I got it, but then it grew on me

its factory but you dont see the colour as much as all the normal colours out there. It stands out abit

by **LUVSIT** » October 8th, 2012, 1:11 pm

Little interior update,
I wanted to do somthing with the woodgrain, somthing different.
I was speaking to zac from freshest whitewalls at the sandown 500 display and he said he can get a crocodile vinyle wrap...yerp ill deffs try that! Heres how it turned out.

by **kwikxr** » October 8th, 2012, 3:28 pm

Turned out well dude, nice work! It's good having something a bit different from the norm, woodgrain gets a bit boring after a while.

by **.tapeworm** » October 8th, 2012, 7:14 pm

the croc skin is nearly the same texture as the dash. :cool:

by **LUVSIT** » November 2nd, 2012, 11:50 am

The last little happy snap of her.

Well fair few already knew that I had been in an accident afew weeks back. Heres pics

by **LUVSIT** » November 2nd, 2012, 11:55 am

To cut a long story short, I had a car pull out on me and I nowhere to go except into the side of the other car. Shannons gave me a good 5G payout and got to keep the wreck.
The payout soon brought new love with an 1998 el xr6
