it comes down to tyres, with my shiftkitted auto i can chirp any corner, but hard to on a straight being LSD and the weight of a stereo fitted fairlane, but with the spare tyres i have here on other rims i can chirp and kick the ass end out in the dry in a straight line, in the wet i can press the brake and the acceleartor and light up both back wheels, but throw the goodyear regattas back on and i struggle to spin them in the wet!!!!

and as i have prooven cheap tyres can also grip better then expensive ones (isnt that true ryan lol)

I think in this case we are defining chrip as "on the brake trying to do a standstill and I can get one chirp".
I find it pretty hard to believe that any of the cars mentioned above are getting a decent chirp into any gear on anything other then sealed indoor carpark concrete.

by **bentls** » February 11th, 2009, 11:03 am

with ba's when u use the tiptronic if u back off just before ur gonna change then nail it a split second before u change it will often chirp as it confuses it to raising the line pressure i reckon.

ive done it a few tiems now..
also rolling along at like 50 or 60 on a slippery road(dry) just put it into 1 and slam the throttle and i get a chirp as it accelerates... not sure if its compression lockup or wheels spinning due to the sudden increase in torque (at about 4k in 1st) in the wet do the same it just skates out change to 2nd it keeps skating but speedo reads 140 and i poo a little.

my manual ed chiped 2nd easy as and use to just chirp third if u got the gear changes right and it was prety std.

Anyway, how'd you go with finding some paint for the scratch Kyle?

i havnt found any, but the main one of concern was just traded paint

, its got a dent or 2 but the scratch is gone

, now my bumper situation.......... :cry:

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » February 19th, 2009, 1:01 pm

Just an update, after a bit of R&D, I may have another interior mod lined up for the car, it's going to be a lot of work but I don't wanna say what it is yet, just in case it's a huge disaster. I will post pics when I feel confident everything will work out

. I'll leave a hint, it's newer and looks cooler. Probably gave it away but meh

by **travs ea-xr6** » February 19th, 2009, 1:08 pm

el,ef dash and console, to match your door trims

by **EFFalcon** » February 19th, 2009, 1:16 pm

EF/EL dash's are common place now, that couldn't be a disaster

AU?

by **travs ea-xr6** » February 19th, 2009, 1:37 pm

by **nommic** » February 19th, 2009, 2:11 pm

G6ET interior is easily the best.

by **Commando** » February 19th, 2009, 2:15 pm

lesser comments have gotten people banned from here Ev

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » February 19th, 2009, 2:37 pm

haha, nah guys John is pretty well on the money, I am getting ready to do an EL Dash covnersion, Kev isn't doing it, i'm going to do it. After some R&D, learning a few things of Kev, and inspiration from NWOLB. once I get all of the parts it's pretty well getting done, im going to go the the full extent of possibly putting in NL Seats.

Just gotta find a set of NL Seats, a welder, and an EL Floor

I said INTERIOR, never said anything about the body!

But yes, the G6E interior is pretty sweet, albeit still a little bit plastic.

lol, here is a pic

Trip computer, Glove Box, Center console, Cluster Surround and radio surround(not in pic) are courtesy of Ford_Racing_8. lukeh and ruleford.

I Got hold of a DL LTD BEM and dash loom (yes i know their the same as NL but meh

), They sold it to me cheap because the cluster and trip computer looms were chopped out, i had the cluster cables from when I had my NL Cluster in the ED. I have nearly finished resurrecting this loom but not quite there yet.

Leave the Recaro's in there Kyle, NL seats arent that good

by **braiden** » February 19th, 2009, 5:14 pm

Looking good Kyle. If you do decide to change the seats, I will buy the old ones off you.

by **travs ea-xr6** » February 19th, 2009, 5:45 pm

true, but the drivers one is starting to wear a bit which upsets me cuz they are nice. How did you and Jared keep em looking so good.

by **private9** » February 19th, 2009, 8:22 pm

There's ways of getting in the car that seem to damage them more than others. It's just a matter of being a little careful.

by **travs ea-xr6** » February 20th, 2009, 7:11 am

snap on seat covers the go

yeh thats a point, lol Dave to name in quote

by **EFFalcon** » February 20th, 2009, 10:21 am

We went the other way in kristy's car.. put the ED Ghia seats in the EL.
EF/EL Dash/Door trims with ED Ghia seats is about the best factory combo you'll get.

as for the AU/BA/FG dash, anything can go in with enough cutting.
its been done before!
