Ladies & Kents,

I'm Dave, 25, I live in Gippsland.

I've got an EF wagon as a daily (stocker, LPG, not much else) and an EB 5.0 Ghia which was my old daily and is now a project/basher. The EB either needs a bullet or some TLC, it has all kinds of wicked vibrations on the open road, and has a sick knock on startup. I tell noobs it's cammed and meant to sound that way. It also puffs smoke upon harsh gearchanges at higher revs, like a blank pimp gangsta + cigar. Logic says it's the rings, but I tell noobs it's meant to do that and running rich due to the sick cam it's got (refer to startup knock).

It still rips good skids though.

Long live the E-Series Owners Club!

I've got a few pics in my previous post ;) (check the link)

The AFF-spec one has had all its links broken, coz I can't access it, and I CBF doing a mass copy-paste before the EANL banishment occurred.

Kristy: no weld.

Yep ;)

It was running uber lean, had a loose earth (lockoff solenoid), had a loose wire (petrol/gas switch & gauge), and was badly out of tune. Took it to Bob's & they found/fixed the electrical problems, and tuned it on the dyno.

Bob's FTW

no dyno figure, it only went on the rollers for tuning purposes, I wasn't interested in a printout. My RWKW guess would be mid 90s. ;)

powah!
