Looks good mate, Ended up buying a knob that fits the 12mm thread which is handy..

Just a question, the bolts that go in the top of 3rd shift and bottom of 4th, They are to get rid of the slack in the shifts? Didnt come with instructions! lol

So there was no instructions on fitting them ?
All they are is a bump stop so u can slam it into gear.
I didn't bother using them. All u do is adjust the bolt either in or out making sure it goes into gear nicely.
They would take up slack I'm Thinking , as I said I didn't use them and mine shifts short.

Cheers mate.

Is Ur el dead stock ??

U have to choices here.
Decide if u want looks first or more power

If LOOKS

Lowerd springs/shocks
Nice set of rims

That's the basics really u could go all out with body kits etc
More POWER
U can do it in any order really depends what u can afford first or what u may want first
2.5" exhaust
Extractors
Cam (977b if manual. 1673 or 1636 if auto high stalls are good)
BA intake
Larger snorkle (ba xr6turbo snorkle or el GT.)
AU injectors
Xr6 300kpa fuel Reg (not really neccessary but why not)
Hi flo cat
If manual t5 short shifter if auto shift kit
I also highly recommend a 3:45 LSD

Have a read thru my build of what I've done if u havnt already but ive just covered the basics
Start with simple mods like extractors and intake then move onto the cam etc

No probs
U didint tell me much about the car so I threw everything up there,
Manual conversion would be a good start then exhaust ,extractors ,cam, intake .
A good turbo set up with low boost would be mad 8-)
