Coyote's EL XR6

by **huggiebear** » September 29th, 2013, 9:25 am

i heard this is for sale as you bought a capri

by **Coyote mk3** » October 7th, 2013, 10:45 pm

Haha, righto... Capri was fun to drive.
But can't see myself in a hairdressers car for any longer than a week. even though it did have it's own hairdryer.

Hey mate,

I noticed your plates and was wondering where I had seen them, and then I realised it was from the forums, I own a blue el xr6 and drove past you the other day in Morayfield! small world I guess. Car looks good!

by **Coyote mk3** » October 10th, 2013, 5:16 pm

Ohk, I may have seen you this morning as well. I was in the workvan about 10:30 this morning and a nice EL xr was driving at the back of Morayfield Shopping centre just going under that bridge.

Looked clean, I have seen another blue EL XR getting around Morayfield , but it has a Bonnet bulge and didn't look quite as tidy...although it may have just been because it was dirty when I saw it.

Finally fixed the rough running / lack of power issue. Turns out it was the TPS....Not before swapping, dizzy, coil, leads, O2 sensor etc haha.
Ah well she is running well now. I got some front SL king springs new for $50 the other day so I have made a start on the lowering of the beast

Just need to buy everything else now.

I also had her down at Glen Innes Ford vs Holden show last weekend

Also this is the difference between the HID high beam and standard high beam for anyone interested.

love your car mate such a clean e series :good:

by **Coyote mk3** » November 10th, 2013, 1:06 pm

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
Wish I had the motivation to clean her at the moment but the forecast is rain for tomorrow, so I think it would be pointless.

by **Jayedxr6** » November 19th, 2013, 5:42 am

I followed you out on the way to ipswich on saturday. White fg xr6 t

by **Coyote mk3** » November 19th, 2013, 7:03 am

I remember the car. Looked nice and clean. Lowered on original xr rims?
I was going insane with the roadworks.... I don't normally venture out that way.

by **Jayedxr6** » November 19th, 2013, 8:22 am : **Coyote mk3 Likes this post**

Yep thats the one! Car looks good man nice too see you give a bootful just after the roadworks. I was spewing you turned off I wanted to wot past you. I live on sunshine coast was on way out to willowbank after fueling up with united 100

DAT SHINE!

by **Coyote mk3** » March 8th, 2014, 7:45 am

Haha, that guard not as shiny at the moment. Bloody clear is coming off

Hope to get it fixed soon.

I am pleased to say she finally got lowered a bit. King SL's all round

by **vegabass** » March 8th, 2014, 1:14 pm

That was a big bit in the puzzle. Well done. Get big assed sway bars and done.

by **Coyote mk3** » March 8th, 2014, 8:00 pm

Thanks mate, yeah will do. But won't be for a while I think.

by **vegabass** » March 9th, 2014, 11:27 am

Keep an eye out at the wreckers or ebay.

Wow, the MOMO wheel turned out amazing! The EL looks sweet man, definitely one of the tidiest looking ones around :good:

by **Coyote mk3** » June 7th, 2014, 6:04 pm

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
I am stoked with how I got the wheel back.

by **apoc** » June 7th, 2014, 7:42 pm

That wheel looks awesome! I need to get me one of those Momo wheels

by **falcs93** » June 7th, 2014, 8:18 pm

Hey mate

Awesome car!!

Was it hard to remove the red stripes from the bumpers?

by **Coyote mk3** » June 8th, 2014, 11:36 am

Cheers guys,
I have only had to take the rear mould off. Came off pretty easilly.
Just took a while to get all the glue /tape residue off.

by **falcs93** » June 29th, 2014, 8:42 pm

Where did you start with removing the rear mould I don't know when to start

by **Coyote mk3** » July 1st, 2014, 10:32 pm

I think from memory I pushed it out from the left wheel arch... Can't really remember now.

by **falcs93** » July 11th, 2014, 11:10 pm

Oh ok cool thanks

Thanks mate, I would love to get her a full respray as there are quite a few imperfections in her.
But I try to ignore them as much as possible haha.

This was at the QLD All Ford Day a month or two ago.

I have been working on some HID projectors for the last couple of days,
I had a spare set of headlights for the Xr so I thought I would give it a go.

old and new projectors

I took of the old lens on the original projector and cut a hole in the bottom of it to sit the new projector in.
Bit of sikaflex to hold it in place, as I couldn't work out how else to fasten it.

by **falcs93** » December 6th, 2014, 5:40 pm

Mad how's the projector's going?

by **Coyote mk3** » December 7th, 2014, 8:02 pm

Good mate, but I am looking into spending a few more $ on better projectors and re-doing them.
I want a more colourful cut off line and the ones I have light up the ground close to the front of the car, rather than a bit further out.
(with lights angled correctly)

I just finished putting some DBA x gold rotors and bendix ultimate pads on the front.
I'm so happy with how she stops now. Hopefully I'll get a set for the rears in the next few weeks.

Change the brake lines stat. Honestly they were such an improvement and gave you the confidence to hammer the brakes at QR turn 1, 2 and the short circuit turn 3 every time. Also use a race spec fluid DOT5.

by **MNTXR6** » December 26th, 2014, 7:14 pm

how much did the front rotors set you back mate? my brakes are terrible on my el xr haha

by **Coyote mk3** » December 27th, 2014, 2:58 am

Was $399 all up rotors and pads from Vic Performance Parts on eBay.
$274 rotors
$125 pads.

I had to message them and sort out pads as they didn't offer them on eBay.

Bit of an update with the projectors.
I ended up buying another set of HID projectors, this time from The Retrofit source rather than Ebay, and fitted them into an old cracked set of headlights, which I cut the lenses off and replaced with clear glass.

The projectors I used are the Morimoto Mini H1 6.0.

This is how they turned out.

by **otick95** » January 24th, 2015, 8:10 am

Awesome car mate! :cool:

, i have a mint heritage green xr6 also lol ! ... where did you buy those projectors? they look unreal

by **Coyote mk3** » January 24th, 2015, 8:30 pm

Thanks mate, The HID projectors were bought from The Retrofit Source, online.
They are Morimoto Mini H1 6.0 projectors.

I use an ebay 55w 6000k H1 light kit.

I had a spare set of headlights so I played around for a while and fitted them all myself.
pain in the ass, but worth it.

by **Phoenix** » January 25th, 2015, 7:00 pm

How'd you go about the clear glass mate??

Awesome as, i have HID's in the stock headlights, but what you have done looks like they give more light.
Do you have any more pics of the projectors while you were fitting them?

by **Bipolar** » January 27th, 2015, 11:45 am

Saw this going up Sandgate Road just before Chrissy. Looked pretty sweet :thumbsup:
