hmmm going manual for a start and guess e-series engines werent built to take over 6,000rpm (stupid lpg)
i wont be as harsh on the au engine which will be dedicated petrol
just wanna run better than a 15.4 n/a
but anyone who knows me knows if i break something i do it in style

Pulling the lane off gas n taking off the tow pack guess these items will be for sale soon

How are ya joel long time no see, i see you are having bad luck with your cars (i could be realy nasty now but i think i have already done that). I picked up the caprice bout a month ago it was time to get a car that worked.

To all those that critisize the car for not being low how bout you grow up there just number plates!!!!!

i think most of us are just confused as to why it was posted in a completely unrelated thread.
the plates were just the icing on the cake

i agree...
we're all just taking the piss man...

There's been a little progress with help from kyle Thanks Mate

Fitted the BBM and distributor not to mention the modified sump to the AU engine

Then fitted the SVO short shifter and speedo gear to the fresh T5

Guess this block is now just scrap metal

KR1STO · Post by **KR1STO** » October 5th, 2010, 10:29 pm

It's nice having boot space hey...lol
I couldn't believe how big my boot was after i took the tank out...

Also, It'll run alot nicer without the gas hey....

NL_CONCORDE · Post by **NL_CONCORDE** » October 5th, 2010, 10:33 pm

yeah its still in need of a tune but it just sounds so smooth
and it didnt take 4 months just to get it to run right this time hates gas

Location-Mt Cooper in Bundoora
Rims-There only on till something better comes up
Highway-Always out cruising sure to see you out

As for the lane it hesitates when i go full throttle but ease into it and its fine??
needs timing to be looked at so anyone know how to tune these au engines with distributors fitted?

jazza312 · Post by **jazza312** » October 15th, 2010, 9:36 pm

NL_CONCORDE · Post by **NL_CONCORDE** » January 19th, 2011, 7:21 pm

This one is for the ebay user who decided to use a pic of mine to sell his wheels without PERMISSION
Then he went on to say this was his car and he took the photo 3 weeks ago
Just want to say i took the pic late feb 2010 as seen on page 5
Wonder how many people on here can back me up in saying that this is MY nl ohh and its black not blue

Get in touch with eBay, they should make the **** take it down.

YBHVE4 · Post by **YBHVE4** » January 19th, 2011, 10:20 pm

hey mate,

what tyre size are u running on the concorde's? looks like the rear is bigger then the fronts.

xrghiawagon · Post by **xrghiawagon** » January 19th, 2011, 10:25 pm

235 rear and 225 front...

and i reckon thats due to the regular drag days

huggiebear · Post by **huggiebear** » January 20th, 2011, 1:38 pm

thats not the first time this has happened, fiery on AFF had her car put on ebay for sale including her address the car was garaged at, the whole AFF site went on for sale (owner laughed and seen if there was a serious buy on it lol) aswell as rollin i think had his car in a lokka ad wen he didnt have a lokka in his car in the pic shown.. just shows nothing on the internet is safe

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » January 20th, 2011, 4:42 pm

yup, someone used a pic of my ute in an ad for hardcovers, happens all the time.

i took it as a compliment. after i had a sook first though.

NL_CONCORDE · Post by **NL_CONCORDE** » January 22nd, 2011, 12:37 am

Yeah well after all this its time to get back to the build thread
final things to do on the lane are exedy sports heavy duty clutch,lifters dial in the cam
get a dyno tune and i'll be happy with 155rwkw then take it to the track and plan to get a 14sec pass
And thats where this build ends..
Then find a new project..

NL_CONCORDE · Post by **NL_CONCORDE** » February 8th, 2011, 7:19 pm

Well the lane i picked up from the Panel shop and noticed they had blasted some of the decal off and then denied it and i had no proof so i called around found a guy that does the decals and hope to have them fitted by afd
So at work i blasted the rest of the decal off and it looks so wrong
So the lane will either have the decals on or it wont by afd
but heres a pic as for the rear bar it came up nice

NL_CONCORDE · Post by **NL_CONCORDE** » March 2nd, 2011, 12:08 am
