Thanks Troy, I knew one of them was 24mm.

So with a 26mm bar it is 456,976 units. with the EF/EL 531,441. An increase of 16%

:) that's a awesome cheap upgrade next stop some sway bar bushes and a non bent EF/EL sway bar with the side links

Thank you so much i wont forget this , this is so awesome being able to upgrade to a stock item which people just throw out

Might be going out 2moro to get some front springs if there stock height due to there kings so il have a match on the front and back = firmness :)

im putting on weight i need to do something active on this EA someone name me something please all i do all day is sleep due to broken bones

is your radiator a aftermarket replacement one??
if so it should have the mounting points for the ef fans to mount straight up...

Oh the reason for the picture of the grille is , I was browsing a pick a part wreckers and stumbled up on it seems to be in very good nic may heat it up and open it and put some new "reflector" material under it in place of the original to get its color back

Have since my last "update" fitted a walbro GSS342 fuel pump , a 1636 wade regrind cam , XH intake and a stainless steel 2.5" cat back , DVD player and new upper and lower ball joints + tie rod ends and a few nolathane bushes in the rear trailing arms since they where piss easy to do

Interior wise just a DVD player head unit and put LED's in all my idiot lights for some weird reason i was bothered to

Have also purchased some FG XR6 interior for the front yet to pick it up

Pictures are a bit old as it has been cleaned up a bit more and has the XH intake plus little bits and niggles

Any idea's on what to do next ?

Do you have any photos of the FG interior?

I just scored an FG XR passanger front seat and the back seat. Turns out the FG seat bolted in rather well.. only one foot needed modifying and not much at that.

The drivers side is now a SAAS.. modified the base of an EL seat so the SAAS job bolted on and it looks great too.

Still have to figure out the back seat though.. if someone has already done it I'm interested in seeing how.

cheers

Will have pictures tomorrow i hope

What did you use to raise the seat ?, oh you got a EF/EL which is different

I still need to bolt in the passenger but drivers is all good just need more washers and five mins to make the passenger be fine

I haven't bothered with the rears don't even have them to be honest
