spillige's new ride, its alive!!

[trdsaads]

Looks good dude. Those venitians are the truuuth!

Are you going to play around with it even further?

[spillige]

Freaking AWESOME! Great work mate, the video shows how much it would turn heads while running, very well done!

thx mate, in person its like 3 times louder than that video... and at full revs.... feals/sounds like the end of the world... wish i could make quiter some how, the noise gives the car away straight away.

cheers trdsaads, no not really, would love to go turbo but been hearing different things from people, some say its legal some say no.... so.

next year will take it off the road for the body work, most likely keep it sleeper looking, nothing flashy. and get it enginnered.

[GTL05T]

Awesome stuff bro!! lovong it.. KEEP IT UP!!

[eviltwin]

massive **** off kudos man that is excelent , pure respect for not making it a homo chariot with chromes and the likes.. looks so neat and tidy!

[1stKill]

Yeah i totally agree wiv Mick...outstanding,the perfect sleeper.

[spillige]

hey boys, well since last update... the thing over heated due to poor tuning and blew a corner seal..

instead of rebuilding the old block, found a rebuilt block going at a good price, so snapped it up

also imported these cool oldsmobile 15 inch hubbies from the states....love em

[Guest]

that is max sleeper, awesome.

why not get a varex or something, so you can quieten it down when need be ;)

yeah i know mate, only thing giving it away is the noise, and the muffler sticking out the back.

im looking at one of those set ups, basicly just a vacuem controled flap in the exhaust, will see how i go.

[eviltwin]

ohh dude , those caps are so well thought out im thoroughly stoked with your persepctive on building this thing up , now for the new bottom end ehh!

[spillige]

ill let the pics do the talking...

[juvenile]

Oh man that's a shame, i'm guessing the sound got their attention and not it's looks...

What's the plan now?

[johnnieboi]

What happened? exhaust note?

[Branno]

That sucks man, what is wrong with it? no mod plate?

[01 VEY]

Sad thing getting a defect notice. I must say though I am impressed with the mods you have done. Brother in law had a Capella with a 12A bridged and the video sound track took me back 20 years. I feel 30 all over again.

Nothing sounds or goes quite like a rotary. Gotta love that sleeper look as well. And those wheel covers...ooooooh yeah

Keep up the awesome work.

[Zeinheiger]

:( That's horrible, hope everything works out for you though

[Ronnyboy]

Thats terrible :(

[Defyant]

Awsome motor swap spillige, musta ben a real buzz to drive around :)

When i did a turbo mod to my escort yonks ago the main req's for the engineer was simply brakes and exhaust noise, exhuast was a easy pass thx to the turbo:P and i simply told him i'd added RS2000 upgraded units.(stockers painted red :P )

I'd imagine since you done the brakes i'ts just the exhaust noise to get your cert, GL with it, Gem's are driving icons now and with RE swap it's even more special.

[whitestivo]

I reckon it was the wheel bling that was his undoing

[ELEGNT]

what happened dude? either excesive noise or no mod plate

+1

as soon as the 1st pic opened i knew it was a copper behind you and then the 2nd pic tells the story...so sorry to see this dude,hopefully it's not an exspensive fix. :(

[spillige]

cheers boys, my undoing was supposedly doing a burn out.... is what the cop told me..

tailed me around for a good 10mins right up my ****, i went to take off at the lights and and by wheels cherped alittle because im still getting used to the brass button clutch, pulls me over gives me a ticket for negligent driving and defects her..

got me for no engineers, exhaust to loud and brakes not engineered..

scene went along these lines...

cop: *jumps from car gets straght in my face* did you see what you did back there?!?

me: no sir?

cop: you lite up your tyres back there, thats why ive pulled you over!! ive got it all on camera!

me: i dont think i did sir, my clutch is a bit funny, im still getting used to it...

cop: so you want me to defect you for a defective clutch then??

me: no sir, but

cop: pop the bonnet!

cop: whats this?

me: 13b

cop: rotary??

me: yes......

cop: got your engineers papers?

me: no..

cop: *smiles*

cop: got any work done to it???

me: no

cop: *looks over the engine bay* is it turbo???

me:.............no

cop: what brakes you running?

me: commodore

cop: call a tow truck..... *goes to car*

comes back 20 **** mins later... slaps a red on it and say have a nice day <_<

basicly now the plan is to call in an engineer to look over the car, only thing i can see that i will have problems with is the exhaust note.. im going to do what ever it takes to get it back on the road.. havnt come this far to be ****** over now!

and yeah ELEGNT she goes hard alright.. 200hp in a sub 900kg car is a ***** loud of fun lol, the sound and the way she just keeps pulling is whats so addictive about rotors.. the suspension needs a ***** load of attention though handles like a 30 yr old dinghy...

Ouch man, that does suck, some cops can be real pr*cks, I just hope you pass compliance, even with the exhaust, just weld on a restrictive muffler to pass tests, then swap it all back

[Ronnyboy]

Hope everything works out for you man..

Whats wrong with having commodore brakes......

[Tash]

Not cool at all - these new "hoon" laws are ridiculous, I bet it was a slow night for him and he obviously needed a power trip.

Best of luck with the compliance, then you can keep it in your glovebox. Great attitude you have though spillige, I am sure it will be back on the road in no time! :)

[Doubted]

Hope everything works out for you mate, its a sweet ride. well done.
