Looks good!
Hit up them red strips with some plastic polish when you can. Front doors look like theyve faded more than anything else for some weird reason.

Yeah gunna give it a detail this weekend, see how it scrubs up

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » April 22nd, 2012, 6:22 pm

Came up pretty good after a cut and polish needs front and rear bars painted but I'll wait till a get a tickford lip kit,

any more info on something to bring the red moulds back?

The exhaust is too loud for me only has one muffler and sound like arse going to put another muffler on the rear,

And the sunroof plays up so have to look into that some more

Yeah I'll chuck a build thread up once I get it in the shed, needs some loving though

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 5th, 2012, 11:02 pm

picked up the set of 5 el gt replicas last night and tried one side on to get a rough idea what they looked like, they are off again to get some decent tyres fitted and the gutter rash fixed and painted in the champagne colour

other then then that just trying to get a few problems out of it replaced the fuel sender unit , replaced the cat converter because it has a slight rattle on first start up but its not that ill have to look into it abit more, needs a gearbox service or another auto sometimes shifts hard into 2nd then flares up 2nd-3rd, ive got another auto here so no biggy, and got another set of lowered shocks on the way because i think they are standard shocks haven't really looked but these ones are near new, might look for some lower springs too

SLO4LT · Post by **SLO4LT** » May 6th, 2012, 8:49 pm

needs more dumpage all round Justin!!

looks good on the GT's I reckon!
what about spraying them charcoal or maybe a black?

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 6th, 2012, 8:55 pm

Yeah I might try to get my hands on some lower springs, I don't know what under it ATM when I bought it he said they were superlows but I don't know,

Nah I want the wheels a light colour because the green is so dark, but I have thought about it

Chadddy · Post by **Chadddy** » May 6th, 2012, 9:26 pm

Looking good, what's the problem with the sunroof?

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 6th, 2012, 9:35 pm

Doesn't slide back most times, and sometimes it shut but opens straight away like something is getting jammed i haven't really had a good look it yet, I've got a roof cut here with a good sunroof in it but these are a **** to remove and refit because they're glued to the roof if I remember correctly ?

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 24th, 2012, 9:52 pm

nothing exciting has been happening with this really just fixing a few things that needed to be fixed put a new fuel sender in it so now i have a working fuel gauge which is handy, also put a new battery in it and a new alternator damn thing died at the servo on the way to work on a monday morning so started the week well

sunroof is still tempremental but shuts more then it use too
and fitted a set of pacemaker 4480's and high flow cat last night, the cat was hollowed out by the previous owner so now it sounds even worse and louder,so i went and seen the exhaust guy we use at work and his going to make up a new cat and put another centre section in it for me

got some ultra lows lined up for it from superhus just have to deliver his seat for him and pick them up

also traded the ftrs for some 19'' silver argents for a couple of days as a mate needed smaller wheels for a rwc
got tyres put on the el gt copies so ive got them on now,

LUVSIT · Post by **LUVSIT** » May 27th, 2012, 8:45 pm

Those silver argents look jizzy man! only if it had the ultras in too....

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » May 27th, 2012, 9:21 pm

Thanks man, yeah the silver argents looked good but definately needed lower, I prefer the 17s though more comfy and less worrys haha

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 8th, 2012, 1:41 pm

Not much been going on with this lately I've got the ssl's fitted to the rear also picked some dark argents up, got the new high flow cat fitted and exhaust isn't loud now, serviced it,

Also brought a crow 2222549 cam and a j3 and burner looking for a vernier cam gear before i fit it, Jason from ti perfomance is going to do a mail order tune and when funds permit I'll get cve to tune it

Been thinking about converting it to manual I've got everything I need bar ecu and pedal box but I'd just get a malwood clutch pin and a j3

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 9th, 2012, 8:10 am

braad · Post by **braad** » August 9th, 2012, 9:38 am

Far out, you've had every factory wheel i want on your XR6 already!

Looks nice as. Should of got that ticky kit hus offered!

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 9th, 2012, 10:04 am

Haha another will come up yours look good with the kit i always look at your car to get an idea of what it would look kitted haha, the ba gt's will stay on for a while then I'll just put the ftrs back on,

Also been looking at valve springs to go with the cam some people have said the Xr ones will be ok but im a bit unsure I've been looking at these http://bit.ly/TialmB" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I seen in another thread misk and tuffed6 recommended them

Also got one of the Brockb8 airboxs on the way I had one to suit log intake manifold but sold that to buy one for this

braad · Post by **braad** » August 9th, 2012, 12:44 pm

Nawww, i feel like a role model haha. You need photos of the BA GT's on the car. You're giving me ideas

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 9th, 2012, 1:05 pm

Then I'll be your role model haha I'll put pics up when there on. There's a few sets on eBay between 800-1500
Currently stuck at home on crutches so I've been researching the cam of mixed results but I'm keen to get it in and tuned,

Also going to replace the timing chain, guides and gears when I get the cam put in, some start ups it has timing chain rattle

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 9th, 2012, 8:02 pm

Alright got the j3 , vernier cam gear and cam on the way.
Im going to order valve springs tonight, then I just need the timing chain kit and I can fit it all,

Should I get new retainers with the springs or are stock ones okay?

braad · Post by **braad** » August 9th, 2012, 9:29 pm

oh yeah, i never bothered actually searching for BA GT wheels... interesting. I want to see what they look like on an e-series too. Being 18" is also good, i don't know about you but i like a good ride

wish i could help re you engine stuff, but i have nfi about the 6's!

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 9th, 2012, 9:34 pm

That's why I'm taking the 19s off

need some new shocks too so that will be next.

This will my first time doing anything to a motor beside the usual bolt ons do it's going to be a learning curve

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 9th, 2012, 9:37 pm

there's a couple of pics

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » August 11th, 2012, 5:42 pm

Everything's ordered for the cam and timing chain swap just have to wait for everything to turn up.

There was a local cruise on here last night, was a few nice e-series around and a nice Au xr6 normally there all commodores and a few jap stuff
