Ok guys, as I have already got a thread about this car on AFF, PES and Boosted, I'll keep this one fairly concise.
I bought the car in October, 2007 for $1400. It had 213,000km on the clock and there were a few problems that needed fixing which is how I got it that cheap. It's a November '95 EFII GLi with all the farmers' options - roo bar, slightly raised suspension, cruise and ABS. Stock as a rock - until I got it... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Looks great!
![]() What did you paint your plastic parts with in the interior? I've used some grey pressure pack plastic paint & primer, but it still comes off around in some places (especially around the seat adjuster next to the driver's door). I see your engine specs are identical to mine. Did you ever get the XR6 furel reg?

The bonnet is a Tickford XR8 item; scoops are genuine but the "Sequential" scoop is a crap replica. Never mind; the scoops are getting sold today in order to fund a set of those scoops being made up by XRFairmont67...
The interior paint job is done with vinyl paint from any auto shop; nothing special. I resprayed it about two years after I did it the first time, which is why it looks so nice in the pics. I've been pulled over and inspected once; got defected for having clear number plate protectors and little blue park lights. They couldn't fault anything important so I got done for stupid crap. Oh well. It was funny seeing the look on the coppers' faces when they opened the bonnet - trying not to go "Wow - this looks great!" My fuel pressure reg is the 350kPa unit normally fitted to the XR6 VCT. Combined with the stock AU injectors it gives a flow rate of 24.5lb/hr. I may upgrade to 24lb/hr injectors; this would flow 28lb/hr in this configuration and provide enough juice to support further mods up to 190rwkW. The current setup maxes out at a theoretical 165rwkW. It hasn't been dynoed or run down the strip yet.
