actually its shade clothe, sprayed with a $2 can of EA red. :)
its to try and hide the cooler until i get a new front bar :)
plus it keeps the bugs out of the cooler.

Welcome to the forums Brad.

i bought "ilsautomotive" or whatever his name was on AFF white ea ghia a long time back if thats what you mean?
i ended up stripping it for parts as too many issues/costs to get her back on the road
which was a shame.

ive still got the Fucking huge Mitso Turbo at home if anyone wants to buy it :)

as for the BA shifter...i can only show you the custom bracket as i dont have any photos inside the car as im still in the process of a custom interior (at the moment only lots of plywood)
remember the ba shifter only does PRND and is cable driven rather than bar driven....123 are done via electrics

i will try and get inside pics up asap

Ahh yes, I spotted those in your VicFords thread. Very quality setup mate, much better than mine :ugeek:

I was referring to the interior pics.

So are you building up your centre console EA2BA (pre-ZF) style & integrating the PRND fascia? What will you be doing about your ashtray, front bin, electric windows, etc?

I posted my interior examples up in your Vicfords thread but I'm not sure if you've read it since then. Seems "Brendan" isn't a fan of my setup :lol:

Boosted hidden section is for trusted long-term/senior/etc members ;) Like OzE VIP but with awesomeness, and without the homosexuality

What size is that thing? It looks to be a Mitsubishi TD08, but the plaque says TD07 on it?

EDIT: found some info when searching TD07/8's...

some turbo performance website dude on some random forum wrote:Greddy modifies Mitsu turbos. I don't have any published specs for Greddy turbos and i have not taken any time to measure them. It's possible some of turbos have different specs from Mistubishi. Also, both Greddy TD05 and TD06 use 3 bolt turbine flange where as Mistubishi's uses 4 bolt flanges.

Bisides the TD04, TD05, TD06, TD07 and TD08 turbos, Greddy also makes hybrid turbo, T67 is TD07 compressor and TD06 turbine, same turbo as TD06SH-25G. T78 is the compressor of TD08 and turbine of TD07, T88 uses compressor and turbine from TD08.

behind the fire extingushers sits a PS2 normally :)
the ba shifter will have a rubber/plastic follow slide so that you cant see thru into the console
ltd lights in the doors onto a aftermarket delay circuit

a new plan has been formulated for the last un-used switch on the console...
IT will operate a BBM solinoid that will control the reference vacuum on the BOV so that i can switch between DOSE and PLUMB BACK BOV....well in my head it will work...will have to wait until turbo is on to prove if itll work.
meh just another bit of wank factor for bradmans ea :)

I personally believe the red flip switches look way too tacky on the centre console, but I think that if you persevere with it, that interior could come up looking really really good, I see what you're trying to achieve 8-)

Re: Hey all

PostPosted: January 28th, 2008, 4:42 pm

yeah the red switches do look shitty.
but at the time thats all the back lite switches jaycar had in stock.
the type that i actually want are about $25 each...which is why i went the 50cents ones as other bits of the car need money first.....like tuning once the turbo is on :)
its kinda like an MR2 cabin...well only kinda.
im not a fan of round, hence the box look.
if i had my way the rear seat will be out and replaced with 2 more racing seats and continue the consol right up to rear shelf to make it flow....but at the moment engineering cost are too high. :)

yes dylan im working on getting the car finished :) btw she feels like silk this morning when i took those shots...im loving that wax you got me :)

Not too sure what you're wanting to achieve with the doorskins beyond the speakers/courtesy lights (custom skin pattern? custom armrests? etc), but the centre console looks like it'll turn up looking pretty awesome. Good work so far mate, I'm looking forward to seeing it in person, AFD perhaps? :D
