My mrs's stock xr6 would smash my wagon any day but its a completely different experience. Personally I prefer my wags

beardo · 09-05-2011, 06:27 PM

Ps. I will get more pics of mine soon, it was just full of tools and missing a few door trims but its all back together now and its too dark for photos

XRGhia · 09-05-2011, 08:42 PM

Yeah, it's easily possible...

Pics are up in my build thread of the new 5L V8, so don't forget to check them out (link in sig) and comment

EFJay · 09-05-2011, 08:46 PM

looking into retriming the cargo space of mine soon. I want to go for a full black interior and some ba xr seats.

Each to their own I guess. Ive only owned an ef turbo and a few skylines but prefer v8s even though the turbo cars ive had are much quicker.
I only miss the v8s but am always glad to get rid of the turbos

Just stirring - V8's are nice - I am really a Hemi man - i use to go to the drags in my modded 351 XB Coupe & got cained by a Charger with a Hemi 6 - so I sold the XB Coupe & bought a VJ Charger

I have a sticker on the back window of the charger

"Who need's a v8 when you have a Hemi 6" lol

beardo · 10-05-2011, 04:51 PM

Haha. I need a sticker for mine not sure what though

Mine. This was my prototype setup:

Ive been interested in this wagon. Not for buying though just to see it.
Got the roadworthy done on mine and was pleasently surprised to know that other than front struts, it doesnt need anything other than a few globes.
Thinking of old mate that got that cheap eb, wonder how he went?
How are nsw roadys compared to vic ones?

XRGhia · 21-05-2011, 10:54 PM

I wen't alright.. $1300, and now has most of the EF's old interior including roof lining, seats, rear interior trims as most of the stuff that was in there was true ****..

V8 goes hard though.. I can tell its got a Hi-Stall (3000rpm atleast, but no tacho so I can figure out exactly what it is), A J3 or unichip, LSD, 3:27 ratio diff and a few other things..

beardo · 21-05-2011, 11:36 PM

Thats good going mate. I have an au3 box waiting to to into mine so thats exciting. After it actually passes roady ill dump it

When i get my *** into gear i will be down your way so will try to catch up with you mate. Dont dump it too low i think 50mm down from standard is about as far as you should go.

vegabass · 22-05-2011, 11:09 AM

This is on its way home from VIC to the ACT

When I got it home

With my XR wheels on it

vegabass · 22-05-2011, 11:59 AM

And with EL GT's

beardo · 22-05-2011, 07:29 PM

Looks sick on the gt's

XRGhia · 22-05-2011, 07:53 PM

Here's some pics of the new EB anyway..

Excuse the quality, only had a quick minute to get the pics..
