Going to sell this,
Will put up for sale thread tonight.
Here's some info I threw on Facebook.

AdamF

All good just a coil

AdamF

Need urgent help
Car had died after moderately hard takeoff
Car has a gra setup carb and twin b2,s

I was backing off after heavy acceleration when it has decided to die, just hoping there's a Comon problem people have had before?

AdamF

You are the Bowes! Love this car sooo much

AdamF

good looking rig bud

New Years eve shed skid

AdamF

Haven't been driving this much lately after buying a turbo bf ute, but gave it some love and its still fun :)
Probably looking at taking it to PCM and blowing a few sets on it, then probably sell it as a complete car so someone can transfer the setup to there own vehicle. Just checking if there ...

I'm sure I could find out from the tuner, but i don't have it off hand.
Do you think it's really that far off? I was thinking it would possibly make 200@ 10psi? Just going off what other gas cars have made?

Yer bud, was me, spotted you too, your rigs looking good

AdamF

yer not sure 100% why it seems a little low, but on the other hand i dont care, car drives great and is really smooth.

It was a 30deg day when it was tuned, so could have been suffering a bit of heat soak and a few other things, but no excusses, ill throw it on another dyno when someones having a ...

AdamF

This was tuned today at 4bfabrications in carrum downs, made 177kW @9psi
Pretty happy with it, drives really well, having trouble with the vapor injector sticking but have a new one to swap it over.

AdamF

Got it pretty much done today minus exhaust and boost gauge.
Sounds pretty angry with just the dump pipe :grin:
Ill have it hopefully tuned and done on monday week.

Loving it

AdamF

So finally got a bit of motivation, by means of the gearbox in my other car looking like its about to give up :bye:

So with that ive taken the week of work and besides starting making up some cooler pipes a few months ago this is how the bay looked on sunday.

AdamF

someone forgot to put the ice pipe down

AdamF

Sorry about the stack in the old machine, but i do love your new rig.

Sell the motor and everything you can from the old rig, and put a snail on the new one.

AdamF

big lol,

maybe best spending your money on "cool" crome mesh grills and other crap like that.

delete thread now.

AdamF

Yer, ive spoken to the old gas research bloke who now works at 4b4 fabrications in carrum downs.

My setup will mirror your setup john, should see me out, after all it is just a daily driver.

He was suggesting the same thing, the risk off the convertor not holding up to the sustained high gas flow ...

AdamF

Anyone who has experience with gas research setups, would i be able to get a tuning rod and a j3 chip with a tune that would be roughly right for one of these to get the thing mobile asap? Like a basic tune, for stock el for something running anywhere from 6-10psi, i wouldnt be pushing the boots ...

AdamF

Have you thought of running the cold side piping tight around the low side for minimal headlight cutting?
Apoc has nailed it, itll hit a/c pipes.
Cold side isn't as bad as it bends into the bay earlier than on the hot side, so the light should require less of a trim.
Well that's the idea anyway ...

AdamF

Apoc, headlight on the drivers side needs a fair bit of a trim. I mean even a bit of the high beam reflector needs a cut.

AdamF

Pretty keen to see how the latch goes, I'd love to be able to mount my cooler up against the lower lip of the body there, would fit a 400 high intercooler still inside the front bar then :)

Yer, ive sort of gauged things off photos of misk's cooler mounting, think he must have modified the latch ...

AdamF

OMY-747 wrote:Have you removed your safety latch altogether?

Yer mate i have at the moment, ive trimmed it down a bit to get the cooler back further and higher, it will be going back on just tweaked a bit.

AdamF

Cheers for the comments gents,

Had a little bit of a misshap and ran up someones arse in the wagz about a month ago, so ive been driving my el daily and have come to the conclusion i need to turbo the wagon at the same time as fixing her. Also bought another ed wagon last night for the front bumper ...

AdamF

My knob is slightly larger than yours.

Oh shit wrong topic, or?

AdamF

yer lol, was on jetty road.
if sloxr6 had of been driving id expect tyres to be frying, at a minimum.

AdamF

Yeah, it looked mint well done. If your ever coming down this way again it would be mint to have a closer look.

AdamF

Bloody love this car, i thought you might have lived locally here in the bud, i swear i saw this a few weeks ago, moves very well.

This is probably the ultimate daily/tow/fun car you could come up with.

AdamF

i was actually starting to miss my wagon the other day as a pic of it when it was low and on the 19s rolled through my screen saver! good to see its still kicking around! keen to see it boosted! something i always wanted to do!
Front springs are dobinsons superlows and the rear is just king spring ...

AdamF

i love this!!!!!! A+++++

AdamF

got some video of you skidding this thing, loved it

AdamF

Front springs are dobinsons superlows and the rear is just king spring superlows, these came with the car when i got it, it also has 1.5 inch lowering blocks in the rear too but it scrapped on pretty much everything.

Rear seat photos are still a little off, i havent started on them yet. lol

Cheers ...

AdamF

Got another iphone cable :grin:

Here's some photos:
- This is the piece of floor i welded in from the nl, this made bolting up the seats/centre console and hand break a breeze. Its only tacked in this photo but i did add a number of welds. (The mounting point for the rear door side of both seats ...

AdamF

AdamF

Spewing i have used my ipod cable in the car with the new stereo so i cant upload photos off my phone for this, but ill work something out soon. :banghead:

cheers mate ill keep that in mind, may make it alot easier

AdamF

I'll get some photos up later but I've got the dash, centre console and front seats in.
Ended up using some floor panels from the nl, made it easy to bolt up seats and hand break.
K-frame and abs etc all swaped over, electric windows are in and door skins too, it's starting to come together ...

AdamF

that is a mint car

AdamF

Well, progressed a little over the weekend with getting rid of the old.
Now she's ready for fitting the new gear hopefully get most of it done this weekend.

Below is a picture of one of the back seat sections, looks like the nl seats should go in pretty easilly with swaping over the brackets from ...
