Definantly start it, its a lot more interesting than peoples build threads where they added clear indicators, wheels and a headunit

[Dezza]

Definately start it. When I started my build thread, it was only about how I pranged the car, fixed it all up, added a head unit and speakers, an XH snorkel and clear indicators. (mind you, a T5 conversion was on the way)

why is the au engine better than the el??

[Sundeep]

If you've got a EL XR6 motor why do you keep enquiring about ED 4.0's and other motors in the For Sale section for your car?

I eagerly await your build thread with the photos and everything.

True, but not everyone can justify spending alot of cash on an e series, not the greatest financial move.

Just do it, if people are interested then they will post.

AU Motor FTW!!!

Start your build thread...

Why would you even bother with asking about ED motors when you have a EL XR6 motor sitting there ready to go?

[tough_ea88]

becuase iv heard from a few people the el motors arent the best, or was it ef?? i cant remember... anyway ill be putting up my build thread later on

bye for now

if you upload them to photobucket it automaticly resizes them to 800x600. THen you can just link them to the thread using the img code

[dansedgli]

make sure you get photos of everything you get for it

Weird question to ask but anyway.

I only started my build thread for myself to keep track of what I've done to my car, kinda like a journal. It dosent bother me if anyone else its interested in it or not, although it is nice to have people regualy check your build thread for updates etc.

Do it for you, not for anyone else, if you want to start it now than do so, its no one else's business really.

Thats a good point. Also for friends etc that I dont see much and they wonder what I am up to just for curiosity sake, send them the link. (im not a myspace kind of guy).

Most of my mods have been cosmetic, some people want different things out of there cars so just do what you want.

I wasted another $30 on a badge today FFS, so dont worry about it Ill get a pic of the badge tomorrow..LOL :togo:

It is if its a public forum.....You don't need to make a build thread to keep track of it
