THIS is a bike hauler, fimps L300 (NOW BANDITRODS)

[fimpBIKES]

well, i took a bit of a risk snd bought this unseen on eBay

but for $1000 plus about $500 more to get on the road
(link in steering replaced, used front tyre to replace tuffed retread, pink slip & rego cost)

i got me this rough looking piece of bike hauling madness

outside its rough, but once your inside it is juicy and completely gratifying

you'll be able to carry all your stripping/trannie shit to work now

[fimpBIKES]

not quite enuff room for my double-ender :(

[TurboKat]

Tops Fimpster !! :D
I love a good engine conversion, I bet that one goes pretty well but doesn't stop or steer too good. :(
The VN Commonbore V6 is the easiest car in the world to turbocharge too, although it looks like you'd be a bit tight on space in that thing.
Stick a LSD/locker in it & go straight to donut heaven. ;)

[fimpBIKES]

yes, i was considering calling the previous owner in relation to this particular component

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/38639869184317.jpg

it keeps spinning and making funny screeching type noises [8D]

[fimpBIKES]

steering is MUCH better after the mechanic replaced the pitman arm in the steering

before that there was about 15-20 degrees of slop before the steering actually responded


it made getting it back from the other side of sydey interesting!!!

[Slingblade]

New to prime time.........

FIMP My Ride.

[03gixxerpilot]

nice transporter bet it goes hard with the V6

[special-k]

hehehe! wicked engine conversion there! that should go way harder than the pissy mitsu astron four banger that was probably there beforehand!




lol @ fimp my ride...

[Razorback]

Needs mods

[suxukifreak]

Dont you think i would of been a good idea to buy this while you were on Ebay? ;)

[fimpBIKES]

yeah, i might need to pick one of those up


coming back from a gig on friday night and it got a flat
turns out it had a spare, and a jack
but nothing to take care of wheel nuts!!!!

sorted it out, limped it to a sevo and they sold em

oh and just then i fired it up to come home from woolies
hmmm, the lights only work if i hold the high-beam flasher on

dammit, if only new cars werent so shitty maybe i would buy one some day :D

[driftdave]

wicked vano mate
bargin too

[fimpBIKES]

someone buy this off me and get it running again

fully engineered
has a fresh (from a wrecker, they serviced before i bought it)

i dont want to scrap it and just got a ute with the same engine/gearbox combo
so buy it, you wont be sorry

this van REALLY kicks ass, and i have driven V8 bedfords
this thing shits all over em

goes HARD (when the wheels arent spinning! LOL)

[Weaselman]

tell them the price son

[BANDITROD]

how much fimp

[fimpBIKES]

500 and its yours!


thats almost what the frikkin greabox cost me, but i want to see this go to someone on here
cos its THE SEVEN/ELEVEN OF THE VAN-WORLD :)

[BANDITROD]

you have mail fimp thats mine

[fimpBIKES]

sweet mr rod

it doesnt go right now, not sure why
suspected starter relay

im sure its something simple, but i couldnt let this take any more time off me that i should be spending elsewhere (like on the tiller!)

can wait a few weeks

mum'ill be stoked, its clogging up the shed at her place :D



oh, and nice email address!!!!! [:X]

[BANDITROD]

awsome thanks mr fimp i will have a look at some transporting joints and se if i can work out how im gunna get it

[BANDITROD]

btw are they a simular stud pattern to toyota hi ace do you know

[fimpBIKES]

perhaps, not sure


trailering it would be the easiest option if you have a big enough car

[BANDITROD]

i have got a few mates who drive trucks so i might try them first and if they cant help then ill fly up hire a car and trailer and drive home im thinking a road trip could be on the cards

[fimpBIKES]

gladly help load it on a truck for you mate, but it'll need to have a whinch



let me know

[BANDITROD]

ok mate i will let you know how i go cheers rod

[chopiesel]

i just got a 95 l300 4wd and its a cunt to work on, that thing must be hell on wheel as far as engine work goes!

[BANDITROD]

i have some freinds with small hands (my children)so im sure i will sort it out

[BANDITROD]

hey mr fimp i am hoping to deposit some funds this week mate and my mate and i will hopefully get up there to get it asap what doe's it need to get going do you reckon cos i was thinking of driving it home on a permit (depends on what it needs though)and do you have a side on pic of it mate cheers Rod

[oldskool]

I had the same van an did 500,000 kms in it no problems untill the big problem "water pump" then melt down, but it let me know I just was'nt willing to take my foot off or stop till it did ,now that told it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fimpBIKES]

yeah chop, your right

it really is a cunt to work on, especially as far as doing the gearbox swap went


couldnt just slide the gearbox off the engine cos it interferred with the body
(guess how we found that little gem out... yep, 15minutes of grunting wondering why the gearbox didnt want to slide off and as soon as i climbed out and looked from the top it was pretty fuckin obvious!)

so yeah, not ideal

but fuck-it
shouldnt need to do another gearbox swap for a while and the engine seems strong



as far as driving it, i would prefer you trailered it
i can wait a few weeks or whatever

if what is wrong is the starter relay then its up in the dash
which means it has to come off, and its a fiddly job
take at least a day to get confirmed, and then you need the parts


not trying to scare you off buying it, just that i dont think my parents are going to want any more hassles (and they have let me use there shed for more than just the original "week" that it was going to be in there for)


can get more photos on the weekend when i go up there ;)

[BANDITROD]

thats ok mate ill just trailer it home i reckon gunna be easiest ill be able to transfer funds for ya on thursday mate so you will have to pm me your bank details so i can pay ya cheers

[BANDITROD]

check out my nice sexy wheels i have got for my new pimp van well i like them anyway
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/10844743373475.jpg

[TurboKat]

They appear to be made by OWOW [:o)]
Are they a good brand? ;)

[BANDITROD]

nice one turbo yes they are momo's and to tell you the truth i reckon they are shit cos of how heavy they fucking are when i had them on my wagon it ran slower on the quarter by .23 of a sec which is a big difference

[BANDITROD]

i have just scored a B & M Megashifter for this baby out of my sisters drag car (a cortina) and i am still waiting on the call from the freight company but i will let you know asap fimp

[fimpBIKES]

you fuckin better let me know you <s>f@$@$^TGWT$#$#%#$ C@%@%^#%^%^Y%T</s>/Poo-HEAD [:P]

[BANDITROD]

of course i will ;)[:p]:D

[BANDITROD]

ok here it is pappas as i said in another thread i have installed an B & M megashifter along with a 2200prm High Stall and it even has a mosnter Tacho with shift light for the wank factor and i forgot the auto has had the solinoid modded so t will shift a bit harder/faster btw this will be my work ride to cart bikes and pissed cunts around

[pappas]

Oh yeah I remeber seeing this.....Love it!

Your sister has a drag car!! NICE!! What year model Cortina? Motor? Times? Pics?

I've got plans to put an XR6T motor into a TD Cortina or an EL Falcon.....500rwhp weighing a bit over a tonne!![:p]:D[}:)] Keeping an eye out for a good roller and waiting for some spare cash.

Spare cash is kinda hard to come by as I'm spending all my money on a car that I don't have yet! Just picked up an intercooler, injectors and intake for a XR6T that I'm planning on getting soon.

You should supercharge the van so you can have an armrest!!

[BANDITROD]

my sisters car was a TE cortina she has lost interest in cars and is now focused on bikes she is about to go for her P plate bike licience and her car wasnt that quick but it had a worked 4.1lt in it and on the 1/8 it was running consistant 9.9/9.97 which wasnt to bad for an old corty and as for the van getting supercharged i had thought about that but have heard alot of bad reports about the V6 shitting itself once you start changing pulleys to crank up the boost i dont want to pull the engine down if i dont have to so i will prob just leave it the way it is...now i must point out that i am NOT a holden man soany info on go fast parts that work well for these puppies would be great

i have alway wandted to drop a XR6T engine into a cortina just never had the funds but you better post up pics if you get around to doing it mate

[latheboy]

Its a big job to get the XR6T into a EL, full cut and shut on the fire wall but dont be scared, i guess it'll be the same as the corty DO IT ... DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I was thinking XD, the EL should be alot easier.

That's good to hear!! I've got blue blood mate so can't help you with any Holden info.

The Corty prob won't happen for a while as I'm building a house this year and also wanting to get the XR6T running like it should. I'm hoping to get around 350-380rwkw (470-510hp)out of it so should run 11's.

JETXR did it a few years back, had to cut out the bonnet and a few other things, can't remember exactly.
