anywhere from cannington, to gosnells ALOT then i may be floating up river and down south maybe once a week..
if u do see me, give us a holla

now to try n maintain that glossy look (ill probably give up after a month before i cant be stuffed cleaning it anymore haha)

cheers guys

i would personally do purple flames but very lightly so u can just make it out over the car.. or do the flames in a pearl finish with another colour to be different..

but still lookin good

hard to see the purple paint tho.. not so much a purple eagle now

[MR AE101]

Are you gonna change your number plates now ??

[ThePurpleEagle]

the purple in the black is actually alot deeper than the last paintjob (dad put more red and blue flakes, and black dye to make it a deeper black and put a whole bottle of purple dye in the rest. it actually looks black but in the littlest light it turns purple, the clear also has red sparkles in it lol)

before it went in the booth i was thinking twice if i wanted purple flames, but at the same time i wanted a whole new look.. the attention i get now is positive instead of being called poof and being booed everywhere i go.

number plates will remain for now, because the paintjob still doesnt change my alias online, so ppl still no its me
bfore i sell, i want the number plates gone

just read the whole thread, very nice, the new paintjob is much better, a bit more discreet, how much did the turbo conversion cost you, im looking at convering my GZE also what engine management you running?

thanx mate, i spent 2800 on half cut and about 1000 in turbo parts, manifolds, turbo etc. and another 800 piping, and about 3000ish in labour and painting the engine and engine bay.. I havent done anything internally and i dont no how long my engine will last without forged pistons etc practically just bolted on turbo and gettin 14.8 pounds.. stock ecu to, just bypast boost cut with a diode

You got any other details ? I saw your dyno graph .. Your A/F is amazing at 180 with 15psi your still in the 12:1 ratio.. You running a rising fuel pressure reg? or anything else that would help me...Is your motor map or afm. Also would like to check out your engine bay setup.

cheers dude

no fuel reg and is engine is MAP from memory but it's been a while since i witnessed the conversion

[ThePurpleEagle]

what jerome said is correct

i have to put it up for sale soon.. hoping to have a buyer

i dont no if u have already checked but i have photos of my engine bay while things were being put back into it in the middle of this thread
cars still goin strong but having minor issue with alternator.. i think the regulator is gone and will be replacing this week coming
bought new tread for car to

[ThePurpleEagle]

after finally getting my alternator fixed, they inspected my car and noticed turbo i was using had blown. so spent the money and bought a bb t28. get it back tomorrow and hopefully have some videos of flybys and also another dyno sheet with better results.

[jmaro]

Hey I saw the turbo yesterday and it had seized up that's why you kept having issues, seems like the altenator was more of a problem than the turbo hehe.
I would say it will feel 10 times better and make the same power at lower boost with the new turbo

[ThePurpleEagle]

Now for sale, have to finally let go. If interested message me on the forums or email and ill get back to you. Ive recently spent a few dollars in gettin this car running sound and look beautiful. Will explain if your interested, thanx
