1998 EL XR6

Postby LUVSIT » January 11th, 2012, 3:50 pm

Hey guys, now onto my 3rd eseires, after my white ef futura got writen off and then the green el futura poooped itself.

So was in need of a new car, had to be an Eseries as i have so many parts now from all the other buckets ive owned now.
Came apoun this standard EF GLI for $1000 with the rwc, couldnt complain as the body was alot straighter than the last car and was a manual which id been trying to find :)
Within a couple of days i had swapped all interior from the old and bolted it into the new.
As most cars, a project will never be finished so upto this day im still continuing on finding things for it.

So this is its rundown at the moment:

T5 manual + J3 Chip
CVE worked head/ Custom Crow Cam
EF tickford kit
Full el xr interior
el xr streering wheel
black dash
blue l.e.d dash globes, el police cluster with white ef needles
3:45 LSD
lowered on king s/l
DF LTD wheels
Slotted rotors
2 1/2 inch sport exhaust system
el fairmont side door moulds with clear side repeaters
rear window venetains
ef fairmont boot spear
Angel eyes and HID converison
kenwood headunit/ speakers/ sub ect

What have you used for the chrome strip at the 1/4 panel windows? I got some chrome weather strips but they only go up to that (had to cut it a bit short to fit properly)>.

Are those your parkers or low beams in the OP? If low beams, what kind of globes did you use?

Original Post/Poster :P

How do you find the light spread with HIDs in standard ef lights? Was thinking about getting a set from eBay and chucking them in with white led parkers but worried the light spread might blind some drivers?

If everything lights up you're done. If it's on fire you probably should have taken it to an auto electrician.
