EXY-10 Phase II Weighing anywhere from 690kg - 890kg, They have no ABS, nearly all interior creature comforts are non existant and no Sera live sound sytem,
These are extreemly rare, The 690kg versions get their weight reduction from the materials they use to create the chaise.
Carbon fiber I've been told. Costs anywhere between $17k-25k
I have a EXY-10 Phase II, and its the best thing I've ever owned.

Seeing as ur comparing it to that piece of shit Kingswood you owned, anything would be better.

They do have a timing belt problem at 80,000kms and the bottom end bearings are as week as papper mashay
They consist of a 5e-fhe engine which is a 5e-fe bottom end with High mecca twin cam head opposed to the the twin cam in the 5e-fe

Once again i would like to see some evidence of this. A web link will suffice.

I've Killed 4 Engines to date and I've owned the sera for a little over 4 years.
I must admit though due to bad habbits that I aquired from owning a robust Holden 202 kingswoord HK
I was not one to change oil.
I have learnt my lesson the hard way and I'm currently looking around for a 5e-fhe engine, (that I will Oil this time)


Which just proves ur an idiot, most people would have learnt from the 1st engine. Seeing you owned a Kingswood i'd excuse you for 2 engines but not 4.

Also I have had this argument with gee120 many times,
as he believes that the demise of the 5e bottom end was a dirrect result of my bad habbits (lead foot/no oil change) and that the bottom ends should hold up quite fine.
After doing some research though I found that their are american companies that refuse to sell the el44 which is a 5e-fhe engine without replacing the bottom end bearings to more robust ones.
If anyone has anything to add to this argument please jump right in.


Once again i'm asking for evidence showing these theories about the bottom end.

I have one more thing to add, The Yanks are idiots when it come to engines. To them every engine is weak. Take the 3SGTE for example, Once a month i hear about one of them blowing there motor and needing to do a rebuild. Out of 1100 people on this list ppl from the UK & all over Europe, US and Australia the only ones that have problems with blown engine are the Yanks.
