I paid $300 for the motor and auto box then $400 ish for new parts to guarantee reliablity, but today we have since found out my standard ecu is buggered or its not handling running the xr6 injectors and is basically flooding the motor on start up so a frantic search for an el xr6 auto computer is on

xr6 injectors are same as standard. The fuel reg is different though, maybe try changing it back to the standard one.

I dont have any tint on the windows, only the tail lights.

Today I had to pull the cluster out to put new bulbs in so while I was at it the covered the suround in the same fake silver carbon fibre as the out side as well installing 2 more blue neons. One is in the glove box and the out is mounted above the instrument cluster. I cut a slot out so that only the wash of light can be seen and not the neon so if more dash light blow I should still be able to see

Well today I got some good and bad news. My girlfriend is no longer my girl friend shes my fiance. So that was the good news. Now the bad news is I have 12 - 18 months to try get the car to an almost finished state.

So within my time limit my list is:

Turbo kit
Bigger front brake kit
AU IRS rear end
Interior retrim (same as current specs but dont professionally)
Electical upgrade
Finish I.C.E setup
General body and paint tidy up

and If time and cash works out an alloy fuel tank.

Today I had a phone call from a guy who does the photography for an online car magazine called Street Cruising. He is interested in doing a photoshoot of my car on the 1st of November.
