by **stevo** » May 13th, 2008, 8:22 pm

All AU's should have had skirts like that standard
Whats with the stockies ?

by **private9** » May 13th, 2008, 8:58 pm

Put the rims back on Josh!!!

by **EBOOST** » May 13th, 2008, 9:16 pm

its actually in the for sale section all depends how much i get for it really.
if i get a good offer then yes i would sell but if i didnt then nah id rather keep it and put a manual in it.
and rims will go back on soon just wanted to see wat it was like on stockies lol.
cheers josh.

Yeah looks so much less like a bar of soap with skirts.

But you have to wonder whether the skirts would look dumb with standard falcon 4wd-spec ride height.

Love the car. Need sound clips of it being thrashed :mrgreen:

by **EBOOST** » May 14th, 2008, 7:12 pm

lol yeah it really does sound good.
i might take a quick vid of it revving on the w/e.
cheers josh.

by **BLCKED** » May 16th, 2008, 3:32 am

yeah fair enough,

my 5 litre is close to 200 but its not stroked

strokers have alot of potention

my heads on that motor would be sweet :0

not keen on the stockies tho haha, less there getting melted.

by **EBOOST** » June 10th, 2008, 4:16 pm

well small update i got another muffler put on it as it was just to loud for everyday driving especially i drive passed the cop station every day.
also got a 3.5inch dump tip put on at the same time.
i have ordered my 90mm maf sensor should get it this week or next and got my adjustable fuel pressure reg.
and i put my 19's on my fiances ba so i went and bought some ba ghia wheels here they are i recon it looks tops.

cheers josh.

by **Commando** » June 10th, 2008, 4:24 pm

Hey mate,

Got any more info on the 90mm MAF sensor? I've got a 90mm MAF but it turns out the plug on its sensor is a tad different to the std sensor. Both sensors have a 4 pin setup, but the pins on the 90mm one are narrower (although placement appears to be the same, and they're both ABCD setup IIRC).

Cheers

by **EBOOST** » June 10th, 2008, 6:42 pm

well its from a lightening ute from the states and apparently plugs straight in so i am hoping.
there was another guy that put one on his au and he never said it didnt fit so should.
also it cost me $137 to get it here.
cheers josh.

by **Commando** » June 10th, 2008, 6:51 pm

Bah!

Mine was a complete unit (housing + sensor/plug). The plug doesn't suit the loom

Well, not without some butchering

Hope you got the right plug!

by **EBOOST** » June 12th, 2008, 7:35 pm

hey commando got the maf sensor tonight and yeah its the same mate all plugs in and everything.
cheers josh.

by **Commando** » June 12th, 2008, 9:16 pm

Farken awesome! Would you be able to take some pics of it please? (just to confirm AU plugs are the same as E-Series plugs)

by **EBOOST** » June 12th, 2008, 9:44 pm

yeah sure thing man ill take some now and post them or pm them to u tomorow.
i must say although its only like 15mm bigger than my 75mm maf in there it looks huge when u are holding it.
anyone know how to hook an adjustable fuel pressure reg upto my v8.
where the hell are the regs in them im looking i think i found it but it doesnt have a vacuum line on it?
unless its underneath the manifold or at the back.
cheers josh.

by **BLCKED** » June 12th, 2008, 11:35 pm

gday mate, are you interested in a au xr6 3.45 lsd for your car?

trying to sell one. let me know if your keen. $200

by **EBOOST** » June 13th, 2008, 11:08 pm

i got 3.9 lsd but how good is the lsd as in how tight.
cheers josh.

by **EBOOST** » June 14th, 2008, 10:00 pm

here you go commando heres some pics of the maf sensor for u.

cheers josh.

by **Commando** » June 14th, 2008, 10:10 pm

Haha, same MAFs as what I have!

The pic of the plug didn't come through too good unfortunately

Could you possibly take another in-focus shot?

by **EBOOST** » June 14th, 2008, 11:48 pm

ill try man i took like 20 and thats the best i could get ill try in daylight tomorow for ya man.
cheers josh.

by **Commando** » June 14th, 2008, 11:59 pm

haha, yeah, close-ups are a PITA eh. Maybe try for a great big fukoff-resolution image from further away, then crop it around the plug?

by **EBOOST** » June 15th, 2008, 8:41 pm

here you go this turned out alright i recon.

cheers josh.

by **Commando** » June 15th, 2008, 8:47 pm

Yeah that one turned out fantastic mate, thanks for that!

Looks like my std plug though

EB ones have fatter/flatter pins... Plus the plastic plug shape differs.

I'll throw up some pics when I'm working on the EB next weekend.

Thanks once again for the pic

by **BLCKED** » June 16th, 2008, 7:53 pm

mate will you sell me the twin throttle body set up?

very keen!

by **EBOOST** » June 16th, 2008, 9:51 pm

cheers josh.

by **BLKPHN** » June 17th, 2008, 12:04 pm

good work Josh. when I put my BA pod in, I used the standard bracket, which just about went into place aside from some minor bending. I bought my silicone joiners off ebay and it was fairly cheap.

If you need any pics, or info on where the bracket lines up just let me know.

by **EBOOST** » June 17th, 2008, 6:10 pm

thanx justin and tristan yeah ill take u up on that offer and get you to make me up something ill come down one w/e and we'll work it out.
cheers josh.

by **EBOOST** » July 6th, 2008, 6:28 pm

cheers josh

by **Alesia** » July 6th, 2008, 6:40 pm

)

by **BLKPHN** » July 6th, 2008, 6:41 pm

Great stuff josh look so damn tuff!!!

Thanks heaps for the spin last night it goes so damn good!!!

by **EF ECTIV** » July 6th, 2008, 7:06 pm

by **EBOOST** » July 6th, 2008, 8:55 pm

thanx alesia and tristan i try my best lol.
and ef ectiv thanx i got the bonnet and thought it may not suit thats y i put it on to make sure i liked it.
gets painted soon should be on and painted in 3 weeksish aslong as pat isnt to busy.
cheers josh.

by **EF ECTIV** » July 6th, 2008, 9:01 pm

so are you keeping this then? I thought you might have had it for sale? Hope you do keep it,
its mint

by **EBOOST** » July 6th, 2008, 9:02 pm

yeah ill probly keep it depends really if i get what i want for it then it'll go.
as they say anythings for sale for the right price.
but nah it'll most likely go on gas by the end of the year as its my daily and costs me about $90 a week to run.
cheers josh.

by **EBOOST** » August 3rd, 2008, 1:48 pm

well got the bonnet back from pat and must say they did a great job on it and i really recommend them to anyone else.

the paint match is really good and the bulge looks fantastic.
tony (pat's dad) basicly had to take the bulge off as whoever grafted it on did a dodgy job.
cheers josh.

by **EBOOST** » August 3rd, 2008, 7:09 pm

well couple more pic's the sun came out so i got a couple more.
also its booked in for the tune on august the 28th so i gotta get my silicone joiners and piping done by then which ill start next w/e.

cheers josh.
