Planned mods for future:

-Take out loan
-Buy EL xr6
-Chuck on current springs, zorst
-Plug n' Play ECU
-Supercharge it
-Buy 18" FPV MkII Rims
-Custom paint-job
-Cruise

As for the EA:
-Keep thinking about manual conversion and better diff
-Drive her til end of uni, when i'll have money again
-Sell it, part it, or give it a bushbash send-off (by the time uni's over, she'll probably be on her last legs anyway, given the lack of time/money I'll have to keep her in good order/fix broken stuff)

Install new fuel pump, 42lb injectors, 2:1 fuel reg.
Build my megasquirt and install it, get it running then get it tuned.
Get new 3" exhaust when I can't stand the leaks in the current exhaust any longer.

Within two years: Buy a BA Mk II XR6 Turbo (six speed of course) in Mercury Silver and just drive it till the mod bug bites. Keep the EA for special occasions or maybe not, haven't decided yet.
