Coyote's EL XR6

by **Coyote mk3** » June 3rd, 2011, 8:59 am

Thanks a lot guys.

Unfortunately nothing else has really been done to the car.
I have had a plate bolted through the firewall and replaced the throw out bearing. and hopefully this will eliminate my clutch cable breaking issue.
The last time I cracked the firewall instead of the cable (the firewall I had already had repaired lol)

I did give her a nice polish last week though. was in desperate need of one.

this one I just took Wednesday, car is covered in dust, but not too obvious, just not as shiny as it should be

Still I few things I am hoping to do to her soon, but just gotta get a decent full time job first.

Thanks again

heres another few random photos (trying out different photography stuff and my car is about the only one in our family I can drive)

Your car almost fully looks blue in the above pics. Great stuff with the paint on her. SO what are the plans for her? Oh yeah, and what did you use to touch up the front bar?

I know, but there's no denying it would be one of the coolest things ever.

I just spent an hour or so with polish getting all the bugs off (some of which looked like chips)
and I need to spent another hour or so with touch up paint to get rid of the chips. Might do that tomorrow.

I just have a small nail polish bottle with heritage green paint (mixed correctly with thinners) and use that to touch up chips.

Plans for the near future are; tickford rear wing, darkest legal tint, super lows eventually.
Also want to respray the door handles and wheels.

Also had her in a display for the club yesterday.

a few comments about how neat and tidy she is. So with all the other cars there I was pretty happy about that.

by **Andy EL** » June 7th, 2011, 10:19 am

Where was the display for the club held?

by **Coyote mk3** » June 7th, 2011, 10:50 pm

Was held in Stapylton at the new Mother Energy Racing Team workshop. Had a turn out of 45 cars from our club.
there were another 2 clubs there too. The Coupe club of QLD and something else

Not an all together stupid idea, at least a meet up, and maybe convince 'coyote' ( don't know your name lol) to do some nice pics of the cars? he's certainly got skills...

by **67rce** » June 11th, 2011, 1:02 pm

Hey Matthew, it does sound like a good idea doesn't it!

by **huggiebear** » June 11th, 2011, 1:08 pm

and brett (67rce) is going to lower the LTD makita style or pull the superlows from the fairlane lol

by **Coyote mk3** » June 11th, 2011, 9:27 pm

Yeah sounds like a reasonable Idea.
Although some of my pics turn out alright, im no genius guys haha.

by **vegabass** » June 12th, 2011, 8:56 am

Should get our 2 cars together as well. Meet you at port maquarie.

Thats a pretty good idea im keen for it

by **Coyote mk3** » October 31st, 2011, 6:39 am

Had her up on the Dyno the other day

and a lousy video

by **jazza312** » October 31st, 2011, 1:16 pm

love it mate, the paint work is soo good. only couple of things i have to say is it either needs a tickford spoiler or none at all, preferably a ticky one.
also, it needs to be lower, but looks so goood anyway. top job

by **Coyote mk3** » October 31st, 2011, 5:58 pm

Yeah thanks.mate,
I want to get tint and tickford wing next. But things just keep coming up that I need to spend money on lol

by **Ef_frmnt** » December 4th, 2011, 7:08 pm

i used to work at torque ford at strathpine... used to see your parents BA coyotes all the time, cant say i like the colour schemes they used to have, or all the stickers, but this thing is nice

by **huggiebear** » December 4th, 2011, 9:31 pm

i actually spotted it tonight just after 5pm heading north past caboolture/pummerstone exit...

by **Coyote mk3** » December 8th, 2011, 12:41 pm

Thanks again,

Which car did you see Rick?

by **huggiebear** » December 8th, 2011, 3:27 pm

sorry, was the old GT

by **vegabass** » December 8th, 2011, 4:34 pm

That old GT was great. I loved it. Even though it was a series 1 with a 5sp it was quicker than 96% of all the newer 6sp ones.

It was a pitty he sold it but oh well.

by **huggiebear** » December 8th, 2011, 4:37 pm

i knew a guy with a XR6T when they were new. his was 5 speed, line up next to a new 6 speed, both stock and the 5 speed won by a car length

by **Coyote mk3** » December 9th, 2011, 11:38 am

Ahk, the guy lives in caboolture somewhere. I have seen it twice in the last week actually haha.

It was a Ba II. 6spd gt. though. The purple Xr6 was only 5 Spd

by **Andy EL** » February 22nd, 2012, 5:41 pm

Hey i saw you at my work today (Nova Ford) what where you coming in for?

by **Coyote mk3** » February 23rd, 2012, 11:06 am

Will be back again at 1 this arvo. Guys are plugging it in to see if hey cab find my smart lock fault.
If you're there this arvo at about 1 ill see ya

by **Andy EL** » February 23rd, 2012, 2:53 pm

Yer im working youll see the EL out there on the street

Bloody tidy mate!

Keep up the good work. Looks mega clean! But it needs a ticky spoiler stat. Would make it perfect.

by **Coyote mk3** » February 28th, 2012, 9:24 pm

Saw the beast in the streat Andy, looked nice and tidy. Mine was a pig when it went in haha. Filthy on the outside and shit everywhere on the inside.
Not normally like that to be honest

Thanks superhuS!, the tickford wing and tint are still very high on my to do list.
I have been planning on gettting one for a couple of years now.

here is a couple I took yesterday evening - nothing of great interest, just liked the pics

Once I get this electrical problem fixed up she will be polished up all pretty again.

by **Coyote mk3** » July 12th, 2012, 7:16 pm

finally got myself a tickford spoiler.
I had to paint green, as it was originally blue.
My paintwork isnt too crash hot but I will fix it up soon.

no decent pics yet, but they will come

by **Bipolar** » July 12th, 2012, 10:24 pm

Ah damn dude. I got one of those gathering dust in the garage.

Ride is so mint. Reckon I'd get XR envy if I parked next to it lol.

by **Dumpsta** » July 13th, 2012, 11:21 am

Good to see such a nice car so well cared for! Well done mate.. always like seeing new pics you have of it. Just wish the number plates told a story of what was under the bonnet...

by **huggiebear** » July 13th, 2012, 9:02 pm

i hear there is another XR in the family as of monday

by **Coyote mk3** » July 13th, 2012, 9:28 pm

Thanks guys,
Yeah a Coyote under the bonnet would be nice lol, I photoshopped one under there one day, looks neat haha.

Yes Rick, there will soon be a regency red EL XR6 frequently parked next to mine. Which is nice.
Great car too, under 200k, interior is immaculate and 100% stock. A few minor issues with the exterior, but oh well.
Only draw back is it is auto - but it drives very nicely. She really wanted a manual but for the price it was hard to say no.

I decided it is also time to fix up the front skirt, being aftermarket fibreglass it chips very easily. So after a few years it was starting to look very similar to a lamington.
I took it off tonight and tomorrow morning it will hopefully be all nice and perty again.

by **Coyote mk3** » July 15th, 2012, 9:09 pm

a couple of finished pics after yesterdays work.
Painted the lip, and polished the whole car ready for the show today.

Sorry for dodgy pics. Lens was dirty and didn't realise until halfway through the day.

by **Coyote mk3** » July 15th, 2012, 9:13 pm

I put the old spoiler on, because my paintwork on the new one isn't up to show standard. But it will get there.
