deffinately good times, especially for relatively little done to it!

by **SLY5LT** » July 27th, 2010, 4:38 pm

thanks guy's, it still feels doughy down low to me and then picks up mid range (maybe it's a 3v thing?)
i hope it can be sorted when it get's tuned ?
but it's still fun :grin:

and like most.... i want more power :cool:

by **burnt turtle** » July 27th, 2010, 6:20 pm

not that easy mate

by **SLY5LT** » July 27th, 2010, 9:37 pm

alot of stuff needed for that, plus a new bonnet

by **SLY5LT** » July 27th, 2010, 10:50 pm

with alot of camera's in your face along with the dvd camera people, it was hard not to rip a skid

my brother in his stock XR-T also dropped .5 off his pb & is down to 14.2.
he got some steam up after i ran the 14.4

by **SLY5LT** » July 28th, 2010, 1:19 am

the pic's are from a few people at the event, my nephew dan, pearly, gav l, & wulos.
i'm keen to see if i get some dvd time :cool:

as for the trip home, i filled up at heathcote & reset the trip comp.... and with hwy/city trip on the way back it's average l/100klm was 10.3 ! i'm happy with that.

by **stevo** » July 28th, 2010, 8:51 am

It looks like someone stole a limo and took it to heathcote. !

Good time man :drinks2:

by **SLY5LT** » August 11th, 2010, 3:27 am

there's a fair bit to do (like most build's) :write:

and like most build's, as time go's on the goal post's shift :blink:

the thing's at the top of the list are....
get the kenne bell fitted over the next week or two !!!!
hahaha....joking, it's on a "wish list" if the funds come my way. :grin:

but the thing's that are on the "are getting done" list (in no order) are.....
get the trans rebuilt, and put a hi-stall in.
get the over head taping sound sorted (phaser's ?.. lash adjuster's ?.. or both ?).
then get the n/a tune done.
get a lsd a gear's fitted.
some new wheel's i hope to have by summer for cruising.
the body and paint are still as i got it and need some tlc (last on the list this time round).

by **nothin suss** » August 15th, 2010, 10:44 am

Yeah they make some people do a double take when they see the lower profile tyres on them..

Looking good tho, interested to see these wheels you have planned

by **SLY5LT** » August 20th, 2010, 11:22 am

i did some power run's today, to see where i'm at before i go any further.
it's about where i thought it'd be power wise.....
it still has to be tuned, but i wont do so until i've done a couple of other thing's to it.

by **KR1STO** » August 20th, 2010, 11:31 am

I've got a soft spot for the old 3V's. I had a 3V Ba Fairmont Ghia which was also CVE'd, went bloody well and was just as quick as my F6 Tornado.
