Hi All, I'm Berin
I've had my EF for a few years now, its me perfect daily drive with stylish looks, all the bells an whistles, economical (LPG)& a great tow rig. Most of its pretty basic stuff we all know but ill list the mods on it anyway
Pacey extractors, hi-flow cat & sports 2&1/2 exhaust
ultra low kings springs an Monroe GT Sport shoct shocks
3.45 LSD diff
Genunie FPV GT rims painted silver for a cleaner look
JVC dvd head unit, Pioneer speakers, Soundsream amp & 12" Orion dual voice coil sub
GT/Concord steering wheel an a few extra woodgrain bits,
all blue led lights in dash & climate control (screen too)
Xenon headlights
thank thats about it? only thing left is to fit the genuine EL XR skirt kit I have in the shed

awesome bro, when mine comes though, i may post it up lol

fairmont ghia, mmmm. looks nice n neat...

looks very clean... nice work...

man that is neat.

Very neat mate . Looks good

Very nice!

Love the wheels, love the stance good work!

looks very clean and neat , good work..

Very nice indeed

looks nice and clean the kit will make the car look much better:)

just finished fitting my EF with a AU series 3 motor an trans.....(due to blown head gasket in original motor, no real other reason)..

gotta say, overall im happy with it, but.....meh...... dont see the hype, all that effort....goes and drives the same as she ever did. For me the cost was the same to place an AU motor in there as to repair the blown head gasket so I thought I'd give it a go. My opinion in the end, for all the extra effort required, next time i'd just fix the head gasket... or find a tickford head & put that on there. If you had to pay for the conversion, certainly not worth it for such little gains.

my 2 cents

at the end of the day its still a 6 banga you wont see BIG BIG diffrence

love the GTP's. What exact colour did u spray em?

Disknt: not sure the exact colour, I just said I want a nice bright silver. Thanks for the comment, I think they look heaps better silver than their original machined finish. Having to run different size spacers was a bit a pain because of their different offsets (genuines have a "rear only" pair), but worth it. Fakes look totally different next to them.

Bit of an update, I got a 3:45 LSD into it finally, and now the AU motor has been in for a week or so, I'm actually noticing the difference, much smoother motor with a little more grunt down low.

Well I finally got a hold of a full genuine EL Tickford skirt kit hopefully not too far in the future it'll be painted & fitted with some pics to post up

Nice! This car looks very clean.. sell it to me hahaha

Everything has it's price tag.. Just gotta find it . I haven't any intension of selling it, but sometimes offers are just too good to refuse lol

Interior looks so good

Lucky, it looks mint. Hows the ticky kit coming?

Any interest in an EL XR8 to swap? You can keep the wheels and steering wheel.

Na, thanks for the offer though I do like el xr's .... But that's a bit of a sideways step.....I prefer leather interiors an climate control lol

Cheers

Yeah same here, I've got all the gear to convert it to ghia climate control and electrics just need a decent set of seats and doortrims. Laziness is also slowing that down hahaha

Lol well yeah... It broke, soon after was when I got it all kitted out with blue lights an screens much much better now I'll put a pic of it all lit up one day

Don't be shy, just post pics today

I've done my dash with white and blue LEDs, makes a huge difference!

here you go....and yes for the observant the coolant level light is on...an yes I fitted a new sensor an its sweet (old one had a crack an filled with water sinking it)

i like it really neat and not overdone.

Thanks Chargd! Appreciate it

hey abcent, im thinking about doing the blue cluster conversion, but havent taken anything apart yet, are there seperate leds for the limiter section on the tacho and the gauges as well?

Nah all the same man, the red part is part of the dial face an the light behind it won't change it no matter what colour they are. Pretty sure there all T5. When getting the led globes make sure you get some that spread light wide rather than focus straight ahead for best effect.

thanks bro

God it must've been cold! CC set to 32!

Does look good though, easy on the eyes. Good advice with the LEDs
