Awesome result! Car coming along nicely

whats next on the list?

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » July 31st, 2011, 8:41 pm

Thanks heaps Danny! well picked up some ghia door moulds from pete (thanks!) just got them painted today and all ready to be put on!! I just need the indicators which Benny has offered to me (also thanks!) so hopefully I will have them on before open day....and hopefully they look alright

For more kick I'll be looking at getting either 3.7's or 3.9 diff gears, I don't really want to go 3.9's or 4.11's because it is my daily and I'll probably get sick of screaming through the streets

ELDanny · Post by **ELDanny** » August 1st, 2011, 1:18 pm

Sounds good

And the side moulds will be interesting, are you getting the front and rear inserts colour coded too?

And yeah I'd go 3.7's. Ive got 3.9's with a manual and for a daily I'd hate it haha

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » August 1st, 2011, 5:31 pm

I'm going to see how the moulds look without the inserts colour coded, if it looks like shit I'll paint them, and change the colour under the chrome strip on the moulds from black to gunmetal

XR_Lightning · Post by **XR_Lightning** » August 1st, 2011, 7:21 pm

nothing wrong with 3.9's in a manual daily, ive never had any driveability issues and use the freeway a fair bit, you will get bored with 3.7's, not much of a jump up from 3.45's to be honest, but just comes down to personal taste in the end

ELDanny · Post by **ELDanny** » August 1st, 2011, 9:18 pm

Yeah sounds good damo

And yeah I spose it does come down to personal taste, but i spose i drive 30km to work every day on 100k roads so my fuel bill sky rocketed (and that was before it was manual haha)

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » August 2nd, 2011, 11:50 pm

Yeah I think I might be hooked on going 3.9's  just need to get the dosh for it...

Mr. CVE · Post by **Mr. CVE** » August 7th, 2011, 11:10 pm

If ya gonna do the gears I would say go 3.9 over 3.7's
As others said the 3.7 will give a bit more but not that noticeable, where the 3.9's will be noticeable, noticeable in the take off and noticeable in the rpms if you do a fir bit of freeway driving.

4.1's on onwards can make 1st gear pretty short.

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » August 10th, 2011, 10:23 pm

Yea I'll defs be getting 3.9's

but in the meantime I picked up some 9mm ICE ignition leads off Justin (Private9) and organized for another tune for the beast this satdy (thanks Paul), as it's running a bit rich still and fouling plugs, hopefully she is running a bit better than now and puts out a little bit more too! but I guess I'll find out soon enough

This thing goes hard we were toying with it in a grey xr8 bf friday nite looks tuff

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » August 22nd, 2011, 7:09 am

Haha I wasn't sure whether it was an 8 or 6, that makes me feel good now because mime still isn't running right and it still kept up

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » August 27th, 2011, 9:48 pm

Bump!

Went to the Show n Shine car show at Fountain Gate today, was a pretty good day there, and thought I'd get a few pics of the beast, My pics were alright but umm...yeah steves are better

Enjoy!

Faark I love your car man, any interior pics?? Is it all stock in there or what?

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » August 28th, 2011, 12:43 pm

Cheers mate, I can get some interior pics but it's nothing spesh, chrome door handles, painted dash surround + gear boot and centre console, I'll probably get some seats retrimmed as well as the door cards but that will have to wait

Just wondering why the air temp is 9 degrees lower than your intake temp?
dynos increase power output by calculation when these two areas are more than a few degrees apart.

Post by **EFFalcon** » August 28th, 2011, 9:18 pm

I think thats a 10, not 18.

I reckon the dyno figures are fudged !

You should check out some of the other dyno sheets around here.

XR_Lightning · Post by **XR_Lightning** » November 26th, 2011, 9:24 pm

pretty sure he has a 2 1/4" chop shop exhaust that came on the car, and yes it defintely does go alright

superhuS! · Post by **superhuS!** » November 26th, 2011, 10:22 pm

NEEDS MOAR

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » November 27th, 2011, 7:24 pm

Yeah as XR_Lightning said its just a std 2.1/4" exhaust without a high-flow cat, and a muffler and rest, but certainly does goes alright! I love it!

Yes Hus, it does, so buy it for me

Well I havnt updated this for awhile, so here's what I've been doing, I started polishing a bbm (intake
manifold) because I wanted more chrome in the engine bay, I've got some progress pics on the first sand down to 800grit and a buff, and up to the finished product(well what I can be bothered with

)

Was hoping to get it all on before AFD Seymour today buuut cbf kicked in quite a
few times lol
Also have another set of DeCorsas on the way!

20"s this time, which means I'll h e to get the guards pumped and rolled more so they can fit nicely without have major scrapage on the guards as the height it is
now

cheers

I tried polishing mine and cracked the shits with it, so much work. So I just got it powder coated ha ha ha
