Barnsy · Post by **Barnsy** » April 10th, 2008, 3:52 pm

love the eb 1 ghia seats

Barnsy · Post by **Barnsy** » May 12th, 2008, 5:26 pm

Shane-ed: I picked up the body kit from the wreckers for $100, worth $660 new! can buy them from here http://www.awcinfo.com/secureshop/categ ... ?cat_id=85

Alesia: I prefer the EB1 Ghia interior better, I found out the hard way they are rarer than the EB2/ED ones especially in good nic

cheers

lol

when u got the kit did it come with the paint?
because i still want it like that plastic grey on the top and the burgandy on the bottom with the silver strip.

misseseries · Post by **misseseries** » May 13th, 2008, 3:11 pm

haha speaking of low n scraping at maccas in geelong....pantics capri almost got stuck LMAO

Barnsy · Post by **Barnsy** » May 13th, 2008, 3:13 pm

The kit was white when i got it, had an embarrassing attempt at trying to match the color myself.
IMHO eseries look better with color coded bumpers and mouldings, but each to their own

cheers

haha everybody loves maccas carparks.
The speed humps in the free carpark at Deakin Uni (Waurn Ponds) are not much better

I havn't been to Maccas CBD for 4 years because of my last and previous cars

Hungry Jacks Belmont, Grovedale bottleshop, Waurn Ponds bottle shop, KFC NthGeelong are all in the same category.
I think i have lost 10kg due to this!

Any updates on the beast Barnsy?

I'm going to advance the cam next week, try and get some more power/torque down lower in the rev range, it currently sitting at -2 and will move it to +4.
For what got done to the engine it should be pulling higher figures, and I can only narrow it down to the cam timing at this stage.rol!

Other than that waiting until tax time to do the following

BBM conversion with EL ECU
Full respray.....still deciding on a color
Convert car to straight gas with a 425 mixer with custom intake.....

Barnsy · Post by **Barnsy** » May 20th, 2008, 7:10 pm

Finally got my cam advanced......torque about power down low

!
I am very surprised a cam adjustment can make such a difference, still to reset ecu and relearn the timing adjustments

mate i like the au console idea what series concole is it ?

Barnsy · Post by **Barnsy** » July 27th, 2008, 8:42 pm

I am under the impression that all AU consoles are the same except the lids (leather in fairmonts).
The console I have in mine is a Ghia one with XR/futura console lid

Barnsy · Post by **Barnsy** » October 22nd, 2008, 8:31 pm
