Hey guys,just done a trip up north 600km's and fuel efficiency is better-at 9 litres per 100km which is better than last trip that's for sure & even though I've replaced the VSS with an AU item-shift points are still out for auto (shifting to early still) so that's manually shifting which I think both me & the ECU have adapted to very well.
Also started bringing up parts for the EA starting with SSV rear bumper and side skirts + some clear tail lights,I was surprised at E-series gear I had accumulated over the years from previous Falcons-so the EA is getting the near new 5 speed,have 2 EF tickford heads,EL ECU,crow dual valve springs retainers and collets,vernier cam gear, JP high volume oil pump & other bits and pieces,so I'm thinking CMS stage 3 and J3 to suit.

Hi mate,I know-the selector plate is actually a polished metal one the white is just its protective cover so I thought out of curiosity Ill see how it looks-will be doing the interior soonish with new carpet/BA bucket seats with new leather and I'm thinking of having a crack at a custom leather centre console-should be interesting I hope

Hey all,thought I'd post a pic of my original concept for the ute to give you an idea of the look I was contemplating and how I think I want it now
Warning very ruff sketch,supposed to be a XR8 bonnet bulge-didn't turn out very good

Forgot to mention I'll be using XH mirrors/rear bumper and removing tonneau hooks and welding & filling the holes-hard lid + (I've literally had enough of the xd/xe/xf/xg door handles) they can be made to work almost perfect but it never takes long for them to be buggered again,so with a bit of help a couple of mates and some r & d-we'll attempt using BA door handles (cut & TIG in the whole door handle area) modify XG locks and mechanisms to use cable as the BA/BF and XG outer locks to remain,should be awesome mod see how far I get
