Ok, this thread is to showcase, not aftermarket parts, but parts that make up the car to look complete. so no neons, or exhaust systems or aftermarket alloys. just magna stuff that makes up your car, for example

my car: TN engine, TM carby system, TN gearbox, TP shell, TN nose, TM grille, TP GT alloys, TN elite seats, TN elite interior lighting, TN elite doors TN tailgate. TM bonnet. TP elite centre console. TP GT sideskirts and front lip, TM front bumper, TP rear bumper, TP tailgate lip. TM headlights, TN tail lights.
wow, the list just goes on, all my working components were new, so can't add those.

etc. lol, the most you have, the crazier you are. hehe

Shoud I list parts that were replaced, but I'm not sure exactly where they came from?

Deep breath. TM Leaded block, TN Carby head, running a TP EFI camshaft, Unknown ECI manifold, TR exhaust manifold, TP gearbox (original from car) Secondhand LH driveshaft (Think it's a TM)
Front bumper reinforcement bar is from a TN, the skin is my original TP. Grille is from a white wrecked TP (Hence the chrome, where it would normally be grey). Headlights and parkers are replacements from various wrecks.
Rear of the car is various spare parts replacement (not entirely sure. The car was Liberace'd)

Interior: Leaded TM Elite cluster (Stuff like ECO, etc) Console is from a TN Elite (front) TP Elite (Rear) Radio and front speakers from TP Elite
Drivers side rear door trim is from a TN (Don't ask!)

There's going to be further differentation soon, as this motor has shat itself, and the gearbox caused it.

lol, i gotta edit my one i just remembered the kit and the bumpers, lol
but yeah, got abit of a list there. lol

mine 97% TP-GT (motor box front & rear spoiler inside) tail lights & front indercator lense out of tn, new steering wheel out of non GT TP, Rear section of center consol well its the one with the lid in a1 nick

TN body and motor, TN Bodykit (arriving sunday) TP Gearbox, TP centre console and other interior bits.

now for other model bits :P

WRX turbo, Saab intercooler, Holden fuel pump, etc..

ermm TM power window switces :nuts: i like to keep my car in the presteen condition from the ECI MULTI, it appears all this model swapping only accurs in the carby models :bowrofl:

yeah, but i bought my car as a wreck, so doen't essentially count.
besides I wouldnt want some computer controlling my car, I like to be in control, :D

my car used to have a TM cv shaft in on the drivers side, when i needed new cv's the dude came out and told me there was a problem, showed me the difference in the size, its about 2 cms, so the TM one sort of just sits there instead of sliding right in the hole!!!!! made me think!!!! holey guacamole!!!! but is every piece a TP these days :cool:

really, different sizes.... wow. that is scary. i'll keep that in mind, but im sure i woulda seen it had i replaced mine. but mm, scary still.

funny that.....you have a computer controled g/box dont you lol

pretty much all tp...cept for recoe'd driveshafts which werent done so well...and i needed to put a new boot on not long after..they could be from anything ha, power steering rack was replaced with one from a random first gen, and same with lower control arm, and the ecu was from a tn.

funny that.....you have a computer controled g/box dont you lol
can hardly call taking my thrashing, being controlled, more like coping. :D
once it's dead its going manual. the only computer in the car will be my navman. hehe, and even if its wrong with direction it'll still be more accurate than me with a map :)

dear god NO!!! all these problems posted in the gen1 section with the autos :P and the whole granny no drag no high rev drops scare the **** out of me oww and ill miss the chrips and spin in 2nd and the freedom to change when ever and act like a d!ck around tools ahhhh /me goes n hugs my manual :bowrofl:

lol, get ure hands off a my gearbox. ures is in my car. :badgrin:

lol, get ure hands off a my gearbox. ures is in my car. :badgrin:
oh no it aint.....ITS MINE muahaha :zap:

.......soon ull be wanting my efi too :think:

no, I have everything to make an EFI, hell all i need is a shell i could make an entire magna ive that many parts. but no, i have all the efi stuff. sitting being paper weights, gathering dust.

XF webber carb all the way

:cry: i want one!

sure....we all know that my efis better then urs :confused: ....somehow...

sure....we all know that my efis better then urs :confused: ....somehow...
mmm, yes.... somehow..... I don't like efi, and the only reason i disasembled that car was A boredom, and B the timing chain was mcscrewed, so i thought, spare parts.

you forgot C:..............to work out why efis SO much better then carb lol

efi is so much better than carb, coz when the car shuts down by the side of the road or out in whoop whoop, you can pop the hood and know what the prob is, so long as you have a laptop, ecu schematic reader, electronic testing equipment and a large mallet to use on ure head. :D
Got sarcasm?

lol hasnt this thread gorn to the dogs

ok ok guys n gals time to chill some

i like my efi manual the only thing that pisses me off is im getting to the point where im running out of bolt on or shave off mods to do due to the fact the computer needs to be bypassed (my leaning out problem) with a replacement or piggy back hell have u seen inside a 1st gen ecu reminds me of a 286! compaired to what i work with now in computers even the ecu is er old school if u will lol

summery:
EFI you need to spend the $ on a replacement ecu to get into the serious stuff and if i could find a way to convince the missus i would :bowrofl:

Carbi: cheap to mod you set someing its set and stays that way :D for cheap HP carbi is wtg but i would say carbi & manual combo but thats just me, maybe some of the peeps here will get a shift kit working that wont destroy the auto boxes then props to the auto guys more so, tis not about whats better its about the 1st gen peeps turning some heads that yes the old 1st gen magna can be made to have some get up n go or look sweet with minimal expense, if i had $2 for every time i hear "why a **** box magna" id have my ems for my 1st gen lol i awnser to stick to these dam commie and ricer owners

cheers pete

nar wouldnt be whoop whoop your getting confused with the fuel econ of the carby and where you would run out of fuel that extra power and fuel econ gets me to the local efi tuner where from there i pay $xxxxxx but yer with all thos fancy elect equipment i can find the prob unlike carby OH hang on the prob is carb heheheeh :bowrofl:

BACK on TopiC i think i do have a TP fuel sender unit tho :shock:

yeah, we know, we're just s*** stirring, we don't mean any harm
stupid EFI's
ahum, anyway, lol
the auto shift kit will be good for peeps who can't or dont like manuals, i dont really like autos, but manuals i find addictive to drive. i find myself in the hilux rallying a 2-tonne truck all to often... :shock:

yeah, we know, we're just s*** stirring, we don't mean any harm

where were??:p i think Terrorsidic ment harm with that falcon lookalike comment :mad:

any way we all know Aströn Boi started it

BACK ON TOPIC yet again i might also have a TM a/c switch

any way we all know Aströn Boi started it
lol, i also started this topic. ;)
and off memory, TM-N-P all diff parts to make 1 instrument cluster, and TN steering wheel instrument cluster.

how about i go one step further than mad lante and go rip bits of a xf falcon to add to my magna, then i can actually post in here, cos i think my TM is completely TM :(

ford stuff aint allowed, as i mentioned in the topic, can only be magna stuff.
otherwise all my aftermarket mods would be in here, and woh are there alot of those.

hmm even though its still not running (fix one thing and by the end of the test drive something else is broken.
i have a tp block, tm rocker cover, tn head, tr headers, tm carby, tp intake manifold, tn elite grill, god knows what starter motor (gone threw 4 of em in 2 weeks...dont ask) tn shell, and thats all i can think of atm

Well my TM is mainly made up from my aunties TN elite...

TR motor
TN bumpers
TM passenger door (not from my TM though)
TN centre console
TN power windows
TN digital dash
TN Fuel sender
TN Oil sender
TN Distibutor
TN elite mags
TN power mirrors
TN front door trims for power windows




and to the EFI crew... :gtfo:

talking to notorius today, my engine model number is V560E

from the words of notorius'
"its a astronII, 2.6L, leaded, WTF, WTF"

does this mean i can now join u freaks? :D

not really, you have a 1985 tm glx carby ofcourse it's leaded.............. you didnt think it was unleaded did you?

but it doesnt have a proper transaxle or year code :cry:

yeah from a tm engine there year code was like s or t, it think hes is a E, WTF is that, and his transaxle code is 0, when it states in my factory manual its either a 1 for auto or 2 for manual, so its a leaded astron 2, but trans axle isnt a normal number afaik same with the year, and as its stated as leadeed east west config it cant be from a sigma either,

maybe he stumbled across the prototype. would explain all the troubles he's been having lol

troubles? like super glue? and worn bands on the auto? and faded badges? broken centre console? air con no work?

i thought those were standard with any old magna :P

nope, mine was basically fine, just never cared for :)

yeah from a tm engine there year code was like s or t, it think hes is a E, WTF is that, and his transaxle code is 0, when it states in my factory manual its either a 1 for auto or 2 for manual, so its a leaded astron 2, but trans axle isnt a normal number afaik same with the year, and as its stated as leadeed east west config it cant be from a sigma either,
give more information about this all... i got a leaded magna (there is another motor in it... but i got the old engine number written down somehwere)... i'll compare it to my cars stamps...

you get all this info from the VIN plate??

not from the VIN

on the engine block it gives u a number

V571Y..... those first 5 thigns are the important ones
v= atstron 2, 2.555cc
5= 2.555cc
7= unleaded or 6 for leaded (both east west config, silent shaft)
1= transaxle 1= auto, 2 = manual
Y for 1989, s i think 1985 T 1986 ect,
ok for the last 2, his was 0 for transaxle thats not a listed option, and although a leaded engine, that was only in my understanding in the TM (or maybe sigmas yet they wernt east west config they were north south) its year code was not of a tm, it has E and i have no idea what so ever what year E was

maybe 0 was unkown, like end of line, and whatever was left over got slapped into it?

I've seen a few V570's at the wrecker. If one's still there, I'll get a photo.

well i do know, that the motor has been replaced with a recon leaded motor. so its not the original

i have a 87model engine in my 95 model car, R32 cooler, 2004 model radiator, CA18DET turbo, FJ20 spark plugs, 87model sway bar modified, Honda 89model wheels, In tank VL pump, V8 VX comma K&N filter 3inch, RX7 muffler, 2004 Pulsar Cat

to name a few :confused:

mixed up magna parts not other brands in this thread TC :P so :gtfo:

OK. For the record, 0 as the transaxle code means null. Can be used as a manual, or auto.

how would that work though

the diffrence is that an auto has a stud thing for the stall converter to line up with
the manual one doesnt, and it gets in the way if u try to make ure auto a manual, so how can it be used for both ?

The stud is not needed absolutely for torque converter to line up on. Ergo, it may not be present (Wasn't there on my motor, for example)

does that make my engine special? :P

does that make my engine special? :P
Nah. Just leftovers...

also means u can save 5 minutes in ure manual conversion lol

Here's the new list...

Under the bonnet.
Deep breath. TN carby block and head (this car's third motor, and about 20th head), Unknown ECI manifold, TR exhaust manifold, TN Manual gearbox, TP Manual main wiring harness, TN Clutch equipment, Secondhand LH driveshaft (Think it's a TM), TN front suspension.

Exterior: TN front bumper and skin (white). Various mixture of OEM, and aftermarket headlights and parkers, grille from a white TP, hence it's chrome.

Interior: Mostly blue TN SE plastic trim, doors panels, dash, seats, carpet, steering wheel. TN SE Wagon rear seat back, leaded TM Elite cluster, TP Elite stereo and front speakers, TP Elite center console rear. Haven't located a replacement front console, but will more than likely go TN. High-spec lighting. "Custom" interior harness. (Like the car, it started as a TP Executive loom, but now is a complete bastardisation of Executive, SE and Elite.)

As for what's original of this car, probably only the shell, and even that's not all as this particular example left MMAL.

so gav, when will it be ready? sounds like a fair bit of work involved, hopefully the manual will treat you better

First week in June. I have most of the parts, bar the harness, which doesn't arrive until next Monday.

We're shortcutting temporarily, as the car that I got for parts still runs. (It is a pity to wreck, but I can salvage 2 magnas from parting this one out), but it is still a carby car.

The killer motor is still getting built, but goes into the Elite. We're placing bets on how long until the extra power and torque fry that auto.
