FOR.0EL · Post by **FOR.0EL** » November 15th, 2008, 11:03 am

ok so an update to the machine...

After ebaying for a 5 speed conversion for a while now, i finally got one, perfect price and perfect location, $615 for the whole kit, gearbox,clutch assembly,tail shaft,el xr6 ecu, center console,pedal box.. you no everything.. im bloody stoked, going to pick it up tomorrow hopefully, then should be having a bash at fitting it next weekend, gotta get myself a spigot bearing and have been told that a malwood clutch pedal pin is the way to go, instead of removing everything for the bloody pedal box haha!

anyway thats about it for now, will keep you posted

Needs a wash and some photos with a 5+ Megapixel camera.

But other than that looks good.

FOR.0EL · Post by **FOR.0EL** » November 23rd, 2008, 1:56 am

ok so an update, no pics yet...
well no pics needed, the falcon is now manual! started about 9am finished about 6pm, would had all the gearbox and shit in by 12, spent the rest of that day absolutely FARKING around with the pedal box, oh my god what a mission that is, i will never do another manual conversion if a pedal box is involved, apart from that everything seems to be good, somehow my globes in my cluster are blown, well revs and fuel, probably from piss farting around with the dash,
Anyway, nothing much else to say

an update to my last post, my speedo is like 20 k's out i think, went onto the highway (100 zone) and my speedo was roughly on 80 and yet i was driving nicely around everyone,
do i need to swap the speedo cable and that over from my auto box to manual box?

Post by **Bipolar** » December 6th, 2008, 11:19 am

I hate you. You've done (exterior) stuff to your EL that I want to and it looks good. It'll be interesting to see who's EL is quicker. By rights it should be yours.

Frodo · Post by **Frodo** » December 7th, 2008, 7:53 pm

Pick up a set of fairlane driving lights for the front.

I'm not a fan of leaving those round holes in the front spoiler 'empty'. It just looks like somethings missing.

But i am loving the tickford bodykit, really does suit the car!!

travs ea-xr6 · Post by **travs ea-xr6** » December 7th, 2008, 8:09 pm

Id love to see this with a xr front end with this colour i reckon it would look sweet as
