Hey fellas, bought it cheap 6 months ago and I finally have the money to play around with it, plus I have a fair few questions so I thought I would start a build thread to avoid cluttering the other forums
Its a 95 EF Gli, currently auto but Im hopefully putting a T5 in this week (questions about this in a sec). It had lowered springs and a 2.5" system with single muffler, and 4499 paceys when i got it. I bought the Mayhems not long after. Also installed the decent stereo from my XF. I bought an EL XR6 front end yesterday so that shall be going on once resprayed Ive done other little bits but not really worth mentioning.

As for the T5 conversion, I am very handy with mechanicals, but I am not exactly electrically gifted so I need some advice. I have an EF XR6 manual ECU for it, and the loom that comes off the T5, I basically need to know if its a direct swap over, as in swap the computers around then unplug the auto loom and plug in the manual one? Cheers guys.

And a quick pic for ya.

Should just plug straight,

hey mate its exactly how it came out of my old ef, its all a direct swap.

cheers.

Sweet as mate, I better get a move on with it then. Should be good fun swapping these pedal boxes over
I also picked up some other bits and pieces for the interior from another member today, big thanks to Josh for those parts, top bloke for sure. Ill be putting some pics up when thats done, nothing major but an improvement for sure.

Does anyone have an tips on getting the top bellhousing bolts out? I can hardly fit my hand in there, let alone undo them

yea there a bloody pain. i made to with a ring spanner or if you can get one a few long extensions and one of those flexible uni joint things.

ok well its 4 in the morning and we just finished putting the T5 in, only took us 10 days
pretty sure im going to go through a LOT more petrol now, and s**t is this thing faster now.
the old auto only had half the oil that it was supposed to and i think also half the teeth left

so as soon as i get another couple of paychecks the XR front will be getting sprayed and fitted
