krisisdog · Post by **krisisdog** » April 15th, 2009, 12:05 am

I think one of your LEDs aint workin there Timmy.
Pretty bright blue too, mines a deeper blue than that by a fair amount, either way beats the ol orange!

Yeah, the LED globe on the top right doesn't bother me too much coz it's just the battery gague, still works but it's a little dull.

did it take long to pull apart the dash to get to the leds?

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » April 15th, 2009, 10:34 am

Don't have to pull that cluster apart at all. Just remove the standard globes at the back of it and replace them. Hardest part was removing the wiring loom from the bottom rhs of the cluster without snapping the wires.

krisisdog · Post by **krisisdog** » April 15th, 2009, 11:56 am

I think it takes me all of about 15 minutes to pull the dash down, cluster out, swap lights and put it all back together now lol!

skewy_33 · Post by **skewy_33** » April 15th, 2009, 11:58 am

krisisdog, thats pretty quick if ya do mine ill give ya money for it lol

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » April 15th, 2009, 12:37 pm

LOL i've done it a few times too, and have mastered the art of pulling the dash out. It does only take about 20 minutes to do once you know where all the screws are and how everything fits into place.

Lol practice buddy, practice. I've had mine apart over a dozen times, and a couple of other cars apart a dozen times between em.
Theres only like 8 screws or so plus the 4 on the cluster, and then a few plugs to clocks/trip/demist and to the cluster, not a lot of there when you think about it..

skewy_33 · Post by **skewy_33** » April 15th, 2009, 1:20 pm

lol id love to practise but wuldnt wanna screw up my car

FOR.0EL · Post by **FOR.0EL** » April 15th, 2009, 1:30 pm

freaking your dash looks awesome, i bought a set of the blue LED's only to realise you cant just bull the EL bulb holders out and replace the globes in them, there all soldered in and shit :S:S:S::S:S i no there is a tutorial but far out i just wanna swap all the bulbs over

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » April 15th, 2009, 1:34 pm

Get an EF cluster then.

FOR.0EL · Post by **FOR.0EL** » April 15th, 2009, 1:37 pm

do you no if the ef bulb holders are compatible with the el cluster?

Post by **Bipolar** » April 15th, 2009, 1:40 pm

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » May 2nd, 2009, 10:58 am

I only have full exhaust system and T5. No cam, no air intake, nothing. Pretty much a stock AU XR motor.

travs ea-xr6 · Post by **travs ea-xr6** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:00 am

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:06 am

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:09 am

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:18 am

Yeah it's a more smooth power delivery for sure. S/C will probably be next.

travs ea-xr6 · Post by **travs ea-xr6** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:45 am

was yours a custom grind cam LOW_XR

ClassicAU · Post by **ClassicAU** » May 2nd, 2009, 5:30 pm

C'mon mate, that seems a bit down on power for a boosted 6!

galapogos01 · Post by **galapogos01** » May 2nd, 2009, 7:00 pm

Great result in the midrange there. Very surprised it ran so rich in the midrange with a stock cam!

PM me your details so I can add you to the Owners Gallery - http://www.tiperformance.com.au/owners_gallery.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; !! Can send you a sticker too if you like.

Yeah mate tell me about it. One of the reasons I had it tuned and chipped was because of how rich it was running. After putting the foot down hard and pulling up you could smell unburnt fuel and it was strong!!!

Just lost all oil pressure in the motor driving along doing 100 in 5th.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Dansedgli · Post by **Dansedgli** » May 5th, 2009, 9:16 pm

not good.

t1MMy · Post by **t1MMy** » May 5th, 2009, 9:25 pm

Nah not good. Taking it to a mates tomorrow see if we can fix it.

Either the oil pump itself or the shaft that drives the pump is cactus.
