If theres anyone interested in helping do the conversion let me know, lots of drinks and a BBQ provided of course - Mates Rates

Ford the GearBox try:
Jim Mock Motorsport - Brenden : 9399 4401
Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage - Nick : 9758 6900

Before you put it in, strip it apart to check the guts of it are OK.

All the best, we are here to help.

If you need any more help / contacts PM us.

Forgot to mention in the prevous posts;

Extractors, high flow cat and 2.5" exhaust will give you more torque when combined with Cold Air Induction.

YES, agreed, the diff gear will help too, I have noticed this myself too.

STILL, you should have been able to at least keep neck to neck with the Liberty.

Blackburn North, will be in living in Pakenham when the time comes to do the change over.

Maybe "hosed" wasnt the best word, we're talking a car length at worst but was pulling away. If I had of pushed past 80KM I would have slammed the rice box. But early morning, Traffic - too risky.

Thought so, I didn't really find it too believeable a stock Liberty would hose you. In other words you had him, you just fell asleep on the word GO and the conditions restricted you.

Pakenham is woop woop; Any guidance I can provide Text based. I am more than Happy to help.

My R31 Can beat them.
Plus if anything, the AWD is a disadvantage on them (unless in the wet) in a standing start because they just bog due to too much traction.

Unless you raced a 3.0L one, in which case it makes sense, those go ok...

Yeah I agree with the bogging down issue. They are a menace for that. In the handling department in the wet they rock!

Na sorry dude probaly wont go on the cruise i havent heard bout it and dont know where it is, also what sort of cruise is it heaps of cars cos if so you find heaps of dicks that cant drive being twats and risking smashing into your car i prefer a select group of people that way you can cut sick safely without the risk of some twat cleaning you up.

No idiots have attended these cruises yet! As for "cutting sick" on a cruise, that's a bit of a nono ;)

maybe but i still have no idea where and when it is, would people frown if i rocked up with my 14 inch steelies on the back and did a few sensable patches when noone is round or are burnouts ect just frowned apon ?

fordboy1981 · 01-09-2005, 12:15 PM

I reckon get a JMM dev3HL kit, a JMM hi-stall, a S5 shift kit and a 3.7LSD....that would haul-a$re...

bugger manuals, I've had 2 EF and converted them both to manual...not worth it, I would have been better off spending that money on diff gears and a hi-stall.

Dave.

BLKPHN · 01-09-2005, 12:36 PM

nah mate, nothing like thursday nights in dandy, genuine cruise around melbourne suburbs, had no bad behaviour last time and hoping for more of the same this time. there is an announcement at the top of e-series chat about behaviour while participating in cruises.
