na. im somewhat of a mechanical gumby... aka retard.

im picking up a BA shift knob which i hope ends up looking good.

im REALLLLYYY keen on doing either the:
-blue LED dash conversion or,
-white cluster converstion

but problem is i am in no way shape or form confident that i could do that myself.

Yeah I like the blue led dash's. Seen em on ebay. Some guy does custom ones. Has heaps of colours except for pink :cry:

well, i gave her a new knob today! BA 5spd knob. i reckon it looks much better! black gear boot is on the way so itll look nicer than the torn grey one. letus know what you think...

the start...

knobless

new knob

The new gearknob looks great. I can't stand the look of standard EF/EL ones.

Posted: **September 4th, 2007, 10:54 am**

I agree, looks pretty good!! Nice one

Posted: **September 4th, 2007, 2:04 pm**

only thing i do regret, is not getting a shorter one off ebay rather than being lazy and getting the normal length one off ford...

ah well, i guess i can always get a shorter one down the track if it bothers me that much.

someones gotta drive around sydney CBD and western suburbs (kellyville to penrith) and let the good e-series public know !!

plus there is a crapload of e-series cars @ my uni.

pic of me @ bathurst, was a top day!

Posted: **October 31st, 2007, 9:27 pm**

Knob & stickers look great! Even small things like that can make big changes to a car. My tint for example toughened up my car a fair bit, and it's just tint...

Posted: **November 7th, 2007, 6:07 pm**

2.5" cat back is on!! loving the sound so far. wish it was just a wee bit louder, but i think id entire fagville.

Posted: **November 8th, 2007, 12:41 pm**

Has it got extractors yet?

Also is it a redback? Single or double-muffler?

Posted: **November 8th, 2007, 3:16 pm**

na i didnt end up having the $$$ for extractors. and its a single muffler redback

Posted: **November 8th, 2007, 7:24 pm**

Cool, got the same exhaust on mine, plus Pacemakers 4499s. Start saving

Posted: **November 10th, 2007, 6:27 pm**

well some good news, i got it dyno'd today and it made 120.1kw at the wheels so im pretty impressed!!

it was also runnin real rich, so hopefully with a decent tune and CAI thanks to BTA motorsport i am HOPING to get 130-135. then of course later on comes extractors so im a very happy chappy

Posted: **November 13th, 2007, 8:35 am**

Posted: **November 13th, 2007, 10:01 am**

Yep, nice one

Posted: **February 2nd, 2008, 2:33 pm**

she can now actually brake!!!!
slotted rotors with EBC greenstuffs

Posted: **February 2nd, 2008, 2:58 pm**

veh nice mate.
Slotted rotors FTW

Posted: **March 2nd, 2008, 8:12 pm**

and yet another update, after replacing the sparkplugs with the iridium NGK plugs and replacing the 02 sensor, plus some airholes in the airbox, i thought id wack her on the dyno again just to see what she was pushing out,

remembering i got 120.1 at the wheels in november, i got 127.6kw at the wheels this time! i was pretty happy to gain 7kw from just those adjustments.

next up is a set of pacemakers me thinks!

Posted: **March 2nd, 2008, 8:45 pm**

sweet. i got the cat back system as well, and compared to other cat backs, i think they are good. im gonna go kustom extractors and cat. i might have to punch a few holes in the box aswell

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 3:24 pm**

picked up a steeda short shifter off ebay for the right price and that is now in!
bloody awesome thing, 2nd to 3rd is a straight line shift (as long as u get the angle right). its also pretty darn beefy so it makes the gearbox feel a bit better!

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 11:36 pm**

Sweet. My EL needs one of those too. OED666's one felt like a joystick compared to my oar.

Posted: **March 16th, 2008, 9:18 pm**

yeah its pretty crazy how different it feels!

Decided to go out and take some photos tonight, as i spent the day washing n waxing the car!

(comments welcome)

Posted: **March 16th, 2008, 9:24 pm**

Looks minties

Posted: **March 16th, 2008, 9:29 pm**

looks tops mate, good work

Posted: **March 16th, 2008, 10:28 pm**

thanks guys

gerendasi all the photos ive put up where either 30second, 10second or in the case of the last photo 4 second exposure times.

so what i did with the last, was wedge the camera in the steering wheel, set a remote time for the camera to actually go off, once it did (set it for 4second exposure) i just reved it to the points u can see.

and bingo!

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 4:28 pm**

hey man wats wrong wit ur xr6, mabe i can help. pretty handy with mechanical stuff

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 5:18 pm**

nothing is really wrong with it now, but at the time of my original post the clutch had just rooted itself, then shortly after that the firewall cracked and a couple of other issues went on, but for now *touch wood* shes fine
