ROFL @ huggie!
I have seen very few EB or ED Ghia's with full leather in really good condition for sale, There is always a little sun damage on the top edge of the back seat, and the drivers seat always needs trim work & sometimes rebuilding the foam as well. Mine has a little sun damage on the top edge of the rear seat, and i had to get work done on the outside edge of the drivers seat as well. Hence why i said be paying $$$ for undamaged leather. Either in a car or just the seats.... Cheers ToranaGuy

Dunno what you mean but... the EBII has leather and i was told and shown it in near perfect condition, i dunno if i like it 100% i prefer the ED style with the leather only on the sides. {USERNAME} wrote: So what parts will make it to the new EB, if any? Cheers The EB will get - Stereo, Head unit, sub, amp, speakers. - ED XR grill and lights - XR Lip spoiler - XR6 Wheels - JMM Extractors Cat and Exhaust - Less restrictive CAI, non pod style - Clear side indicators - Not sure about badging yet, debadge the sides and replace the rear fairmont badge with either a black XR6 or red falcon S badge. Or could put an entire Xr6 garnish with both black badges. - Im sure there will be other small things like coolant bottle mine is pretty new but the other might still be cleaner. Im looking for some help with my stereo, a full list of what i have is below, i want to know what a suitable amp would be for the Sub i have now. Or if possible perhaps the one i have now can be tuned to achieve maximum performance. Headunit DEH-P7950UB http://www.pioneer.com.sg/storefront/Pr ...

Dunno what you mean but... the EBII has leather and i was told and shown it in near perfect condition, i dunno if i like it 100% i prefer the ED style with the leather only on the sides. Usually really really good leather is very pricey, either with a good car around it or just teh seats on their own. Check Ebay atm, there's a set for a starting bid of $600. Pricey but it looks like they are pretty good. ED style? I've seen both EB's & ED's with the leather & velour, and full leather. Full leather was an option i believe. I currently have full leather in my EB Ghia & the ED Ghia i'm wrecking has the leather & velour. I prefer the full leather, but if the leather & velour seats i have don't sell for enough coin, they will go into my Xr8, as they are nicer than Xr8 cloth seats i think. Cheers ToranaGuy

ToranaGuy I think i get what you mean... that original leather seats, in good to perfect condition are fairly expensive whether there with or without a car, in this case there with the car. Im watching that $600 set of leather seats already, there's another set of leather & velour ones which are at $250 and rising, the leather & velour seats are the ones i like, thou either will do. The seller is mostly worried about getting there money back on things like the head reco, gearbox reco and new radiator ect, but they along with most of us know you hardly ever get your money back. I feel i got it for a pretty good price and its almost everything i want in an ED. Regards.

Yep, that basically what i mean man. Leather & the velour + leather seats are worth a bit, even in damaged condition, so i won't be selling my ED Ghia leather & velour seats too cheaply.
Yeah, it's almost impossible to get your money back on car's. Unless you don't spend much in the first place. If you got it for a good price & it's close to what you want, that's great! Does it have a sunroof? That's one of the few things i wanted in my EB Ghia that i didn't have. I now have one to fit, but i also have a white EB Xr8 now, and i'm not sure where i want to fit my sunroof, in the Eb Ghia or the EB Xr8.  Cheers ToranaGuy

Yer i passed on finding one with a sunroof, this car is just too close to what i want for me to let it go by, i can't believe no one else even made an offer to the sellers.
Dads got contacts and they guy that we get our tint for installs sunroofs as well, so if i can find one over time ill have a look at it. Regards, Michael

Cool. I could install mine myself, but i have many other things to do first. I also have a mate who works for a panel shop, who could install it pretty cheaply for me.
Cheers ToranaGuy

Hi,
Im looking at upgrading the fuel system but dunno how to go about it, so what's a few good idea's ED XR6 fuel regulator and injectors? AU injectors?( would like to use these as i already have some) J3 chips seem to be fairly popular, are they a plug and play thing? And what size injectors and regulator should i run with it all to suit my T5 and Wade 1673?? and after this will the fuel pump still be up to the challenge? Any help would be appreciated, Michael.

a XR6 reg wont upgrade the fuel much, tho i head BA units fit??? and are a higher pressure, go the AU injectors, they will flow plenty for the N/A application, otherwise i heard you can use the E-series V8 units for more flow.
im sure a rising rate reg would be ok? J3 are plug and play if you buy it pre tuned, but it also opens you up for custom tunes on a dyno. most places now have the units to tune these |

hey huggie,
So fit the Au injectors and get a pre tuned J3 chip, does it make a difference what ECu you use it with.

you will need to use an EL ECU for the J3 as i dont think they work on EA-ED just yet.
but yes id throw a 300kpa fuel reg, au injectors and a J3 pre tuned and see how it goes |
