ill keep updating this first post
so far: XG ute... BA front end conversion in progress (with BA F6 bodykit), 330mm brakes, MY99 WRX bucket seats, FPV starter button, stripped aircon completely, and other little s**t.. what ive got so far in parts: - BA F6 motor - T56 - Lokka + 3.45s - 60Lb Siemen injectors - Motec M800 ecu issues incountered: - NO ISSUE with K-frame 
- swaybar fouls - solution = lower swaybar an inch! - bonnet clearance but im not worried about bonnet clearance, got a XG GT bonnet going on, the vents adding needed cooling, and its bulge will allow me to clear it
clearance on K-frame FTW

yeh RSWEPN, ive followed your build... i thought the blue was a sweet colour
im fitting / modifying BA fenders to suit... much easier to use original BA fenders rather than folding metal around edges. wheres there's an angle grinder... theres a way

thats the way mate nothing beats a custom job.
so whats the deal with the XG GT bonnet? Are you modding the XG bonnet with a bulge and choping the corners to flow with the gaurd??

freak6, im pretty much gonna cut out the XB/C GT bonnet and weld it onto the XG bonnet. just cut and weld.
fibreglass XB/C buldges are around $365, but fibreglass and bog cracks. an angle grinder solves all. mitch, im not sure how lots of KW + live axle + manual, will go haha. should be fun haha |

I cant wait to see this come together. It should be a weapon.
When do you think the engine and stuff will be in and running? My problems werent ECU related, the ECU is pretty good for the price imo. |

pretty soon dan i reckon, i work offshore, so when im not working (ie: back home in perth) i just work on my cars.
slight delay in the re-start of the ute... blew my EF XR6T turbo Saturday night. hahaha. rebuilding the turbo today. will be back on hopefully later this arvo
ive been talking to a few car club mates (that actually know their s**t when it comes to turbos and such) and they seriously suggest that new Autronic.... which will be around $3500 installed. end of the day around $1000 more than a 8860, but i dont want to "limit" my project by an ECU that might not be up to the task |
