Do you even have a job Morgan

JESUS FKN CHRIST!
 
Morgs, next time I'm in NSW I am SOOO coming to see you.
 
 
You have a Bolwell!

Haha

Keen as to get behind the wheel of the Bolly. Such a tiny little thing!

Do you even have a job Morgan

Apparently this is called 'work'!

[Morgan]

Also drove a 1928ish Hudson Super Six. Ultra cool and weird to drive.


Wish I could say this 550 replica real, but it's not. Didn't cost $5M like a real one would. However, the guy who was building these replicas was told by Porsche to stop because they were so unbelievably identical!

Mmm, interceptor. I think I've seen that 240z parked at Lane Cove a few months back...

Yup, those 550 replica's are pretty good.

Morgan you can eat a supertanker of dicks..

 

 

 

Still deciding if I should fit the xforce mp02 I have at home as a catback on mine. It came off a B4 with a single turbo conversion, has the hangers, I just need to get the piping made up. I kinda like the sleeper spec but I hear the WRX at this workshop... and get naughty thoughts. Rego is due too, plus I tripped that camera last week.

 

If this muffler has a 3" inlet, then let me make that decision for you..

[Hypnotic]

That's a cute collection of cars

Keen as to get behind the wheel of the Bolly.

 

MK7 or Nagari? (My guess is Nagari)

 

I can also see two MK4 Lincoln Continentals, '59 Chev pickup, S series Valiant, Anglia and possibly a Hudson Commodore.

 

With regards to getting the HK's boot open, try the boot keys from a similar vintage Holden (IIRC the keys are the same almost to Commodore) as they are a fairly simple lock and you might strike it lucky.

 

That HK ute looks super tidy. Factory V8?

[SUBARU]

Holy shit. Lucky bugger.

[Sven Smergberd]

Hmm will have to check museum out when I replace Jeep. Very clean Escort is tempting.

@Zac

 

Get someone from here who lives in Newcastle to pick up those mufflers for you......like NOW!

[Morgan]

Factory 307 Chev in the white ute. 

 

Not actually sure where any of the Holden keys are... Actually I know where the VH keys are. Will try that! 

 

Nagari doesn't have the rear quarter window - must be a Mk7.

 

Bit of an unfortunate incident with one of the Continentals. Someone backed it into a pole at the warehouse

[Morgan]

 

 '59 Chev pickup,

 

The El Camino? Couldn't get it idling properly after lots of warming up so just left it

[RX25SE]

That's it..

 

Try removing the air filter and with a warm idling engine start to rev it and when it gets to a couple of thousand revs, smother the top of the carby with a rag and open the throttle fully. Just before it dies from being choked, close the throttle and remove the rag. This may clear any crud that has made it's way into the carbies idle circuit.

 

 

Factory 307 HK ute would be sweet.

I can help out if need be.

[TSG]

Car feels a lot tighter after the service. Just that issue I mentioned before (rattling wastegate) and a worn steering rack bush that he will have to order in. Paid rego too. Wallet is a lot lighter.

 

Just did my tax, owe some monies for my uni debt. But my return was quite substantial so should nuke a fair bit of it.

[TSG]

@ TSG.....
What's the car actually running like? Strong or weak primary boost?

What's the VOD like?

Is it tuned or stock?

The rattle at idle of your ECV would usually mean primary boost is less than normal because the valve, or flap, in the up pipe isn't sealing & exhaust gasses are being vented to secondary spooling.... From idle.

Not when it's supposed to.

Not good for your secondary turbo mate & Will kill it over time as it will be spooling constantly.

 

I can tell you how to adjust it if you need to know.

 

Sorry I missed this. 

 

The car is running fine from what we can tell and is stock tuned to my knowledge. VOD varies, sometimes I don't notice it, sometimes (if I'm not generous with the throttle) it can take a moment. He said its rattling at idle. But when he went to demonstrate, it would only chatter off throttle when I revved it (just using my finger on the throttle). I'd be interested to know how if you have a moment. It looks like a prick to get to hidden away under the vac lines lol.

 

I said some stuff about that earlier.  Thanks for caring, cubt.

 

lol. I was typing this up. Maybe it needs a thread anyway.
