Howdy

Well on friday finally got the T3 rego'd with the Ea81 in.
Mod plate all done

We have done over 200ks since Friday with no problems so far.
engine temps are in the lower half of the temp range even in bumber to bumber traffic.
He pulls up hills good with out losing speed,
he is no flyer but is a nice cruzer. as my wife says I am an old fart and don't drive fast so why have a fast car:lol::lol::lol:

So it looks like it is Marlin for Valla, we are going to do a lot of ks on him over next few weeks to make sure all is good.

heya fella,


good to see u got the beast done, any turbo parts in there lol..

I haven't forgoten ur wheels, i have been a little lost these last few months. Hopfully there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Long story cut very short got engine totaly rebuit as u know got 500 k out of it then major bang,crank totaly fu*ked .. reason when the rods were machined only one was perfectly round and resulted in blowing out one of the new bearings!! all going through court now.. fun hey!!!!

I'll give u a bell in the next couple of weeks and get them sorted and to see just what u have left under the house

i just want it back on the bloody road!!!! hopfully i get the spare crank and rods back this week and i'll build the spare up with my heads till this is all sorted.
