[Pedro_The_Swift]

We pick up the new tophatted and cam'd 4.6:eek: from British Off Road
Am looking forward to the drive home through Woodford and Kilcoy:cool:

bit of an early start though,,
bus leaves Toowoomba at 5.30am:censored::censored:

[Disco Muppet]

No fair! :mad:
Mine gets towed in to be fixed on thursday :(

[Yorkie]

Mine goes in for a rear diff check/rebuild, hoping nothing serious. :)

[schuy1]

5.30? heck the suns been up for ages by then!:D and its summer so that subtropical Toowoomba winters morning is not a hindrance :D
Yes the drive up should be nice with a 4.6! I know I always liked it in the XY :)

[schuy1]

Hmm :/ Do we have a MIA Pedro? I think if it had broken down most of QLD would have heard him! :D Maybe it is sooooooooo nice to drive now he hasnt stoped!!! :D

[ozscott]

Bloody hell Pedro - yours must be the reason Andrew cant get my 5 speed overhaul done and back to me!!! Get your speed machine out of there so mine can come home to me...:D How did it pain out? Those guys are the ants pants for LR stuff.

Cheers

[Pedro_The_Swift]

sheerluck?
5 Star Scania's no less:cool:
and finally thank [The Rover ] god:angel:

Schuy1?
It was a blast up the range from Esk:twisted:

ozscott?
There was a Sherwood up on a hoist,, and a glorious British racing green 322 RR out front, which ones yours?

And to all the V8 D2 owners out there---

Just Do It.
:ohyes:

[brenno]

Just Do It.
:ohyes:

So, how much did it cost??

[Cannon]

it's very exciting pedro.

i hope there's more of a review than that:)

[ozscott]

Maaate...sounds great !

Mine is the Bonati Grey D2 with black TJM bar with Super Cibie Oscars, LR ladder, Rhino bars x 3 and Grabbers. 5 speed v8. Those boys did my cam upgrade head work, new timing gear etc and the SGI in BRC guise. With the freeflowing exhaust it all came together very nicely. They are now doing my 5 speed box, rear main and transfer case. She will be like a new truck...but what it wont be will be a 4.6 you bugger!!

Cheers

[Pedro_The_Swift]

I'm just not trying to get too carried away Cannon,, it still needs a 4.6 fuel map;):o:cool:

am now wondering about a second hand ECU from the states,, but it would probably require a smith and wesson to be within key range for it to start:p

and the word from BOR is My Way is now the BOR Highway,, no more second hand stuff.


and No Ozscott, no it wont.:p:p

[ozscott]

You really are now the Swift!

Cheers

[Pedro_The_Swift]

D2 V8 Tech Trivia;):D

BOR did an interesting thing with the heads/gasket/studs--
They were a bit concerned about the Nm's when they took the heads off,,
so after a bit of net research (!) they decided on normal torqueing procedure using old head bolts (at a much higher number of Nm's). , then they replaced one bolt at a time with a stud and torqued that,,
makes sense.

on a sideways note, its interesting how BOR had not done one exactly like mine before.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

You really are now the Swift!

Cheers


wanna race?:twisted:

[brenno]

So, how much did it cost??

Hey Pedro, you missed a question earlier. :angel:

[ozscott]

I asked them to stud mine. They talked me into new good quality bolts and single torque down gaskets instead.

No I dont want a race unless we have to start in second gear and short shift to fifth...:)

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Hey Pedro, you missed a question earlier. :angel:

no, I didnt miss it,,;)

[sheerluck]

no, I didnt miss it,,;)

As the old saying goes "If you need to ask how much it is, you can't afford it"

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Did it cost way more than I thought?
YES!

Were the $$$ worth it?
[MY OATH!:D] ask me in a year


What would I do differently?
Not wait so long:Rolling:

[brenno]

no, I didnt miss it,,;)

Ah ok... Well, ignoring it made it look like you missed it. :p

Just wondered if it compares (or higher or lower) to the cost of a 4.6 long from TRS.


As the old saying goes "If you need to ask how much it is, you can't afford it"

Wrong, but right... I can't afford it, but it's good to know the costs of things, because the future is unknown.

[schuy1]

no, I didnt miss it,,;)


Lord Nelson The Swift perhaps?:Rolling:
