looks great mate. i've always wanted a hot chilli red el xr8 manual with a ticky kit. almost bought one a few years ago and regret not getting it!

throw a tickford kit on that and it will be mint!

i'm a huge fan of those wheels too!

cheers

Seems as though the leak is coming from the seal that gets pushed in by the rod connected through the booster, undo those front nuts on the brake booster and pull of the reservoir and casing to see where its coming from.

really couldnt stand having no headrests in the back seats so swapped over the foam in the seats with a fairmont one and put them in

braad · Post by **braad** » March 11th, 2013, 3:37 pm

I said it in your first thread that got deleted but I'll say it again, love it man!

The argents suit it perfectly, I wouldnt put the wing on however. Take it from another bloke with a chilli el, they're called spoilers for a reason.
