Kyle's ED Falcon GLi/NL Fairlane Ghia

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » March 22nd, 2008, 1:57 pm

Hey guys, i thought it might be time to start posting updates to what I am doing to the car in here. Im basically turning my '94 ED GLi into an XR6 but with a nice Ghia interior.

I plan to convert this to manual and replace the current ECU with a Tickford XR6 one.

This is my car when I had not changed anything.

and this is today after I took it to the wash and did some mods.

Old Boot Garnish

Alpine 6 1/2 Type R's

XR Cluster (Thanks Thanatos

)

Car With no garnish

With the new garnish

I will post more pics as things get done.

You've got a nice clean base to start with there

by **smokin ef** » March 22nd, 2008, 4:49 pm

by **67rce** » March 22nd, 2008, 6:47 pm

Needs MOMO, XR ECU and Lip spoiler aswell as the obvious XR Front for an XR Rep... (BTW I have all but the XR Front for sale)

Nice base mate.

i put in blue LEDs in my cluster 2day, have fail half success, they worked but i think cuz of the orange lettering they didnt come out right.

lo Dim

hi Dim

im thinking a new fascia but i dunno, any suggestions?.

by **Fairmont888** » March 25th, 2008, 11:26 pm

if you have any orange backlighting for anything, it will stuff up the effect of the blue LEDs, other than that it should be fine unless the LEDs are dodgy as shit

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » March 27th, 2008, 9:26 pm

Trip computer is half done, at the point where it will only work when the car is running.

other cables need soldering still.

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » March 28th, 2008, 9:22 am

trip computer is finished i hope, cant take it for a proper test but i know the instantaneos consumption works.

so i think they must all work then, ill give an update later.

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » March 30th, 2008, 8:53 pm

i tried putting in blue LED's for my parking lights, considering green but i dun think there legal, plus they'll play with the xenon's i put in.

by **Eb Barbie** » March 31st, 2008, 8:35 am

Looks good, not bad for an L plater!!

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » March 31st, 2008, 11:55 am

by **Stengord** » March 31st, 2008, 9:52 pm

Haha if the cops really wanted to they could defect a car 5000ks off the showroom

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » April 3rd, 2008, 3:11 pm

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » April 15th, 2008, 3:50 pm

that one is actually older, this is the latest model and i liked it. With those rear speakers it has bass and quality coming out the rear end

by **G3R3N** » April 15th, 2008, 4:09 pm

Nice work Kyle.
Next: Lowered

by **Bunna_07** » April 15th, 2008, 4:10 pm

true but most of the time u gotta take performance over cosmetics.

by **EDFalcon** » April 15th, 2008, 4:32 pm

Looking nice mate. Really need to get the whole job done for the whole XR look. Atm some people might look at it and wonder why you have an XR6 garnish.
Lights and suspension and it'll look much more legit.

As for the dash i've put up a few pics in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2185&p=38483&hilit=dash#p38483 that might give you a couple of ideas.

PS nice song choice

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » April 15th, 2008, 4:37 pm

hehe cheers, ill hopefully come and pick up that manual conversion in a month or so, sooooo many bills

glad u like the song.

and thanks for the link

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » April 15th, 2008, 4:39 pm
