Hey All,

I am new here, my name is Ryan, I am 21, from Bribie Island QLD. I recently moved here from Warrnambool, Victoria. I recently sold my Commodore and have come over to the dark side when I got my ED Futura.

So far the car has 18" Koya's, 2.5" Mandrel bent cat back, lowered on kings (front) and lovells (rear), monroe gt gas shocks all round, thicker rear swaybar, bushes done throughout, 5 Speed conversion. Possibly also has a cam, but has not been confirmed at this stage.

Future plans for the car include doing something with the interior (EF conversion possibly?), BBM + Serpentine belt conversion, and possibly a turbo in the future, unsure yet.

Anyways, Here are some pics, and I hope to meet some of you QLD members in the near future.

Cheers.

Thanks guys, I certainly like it. I am in negotiations with the previous owner at the moment concerning certain 'modifications' that were supposedly done, but turn out to be a load of crap. So hopefully may get some cash back :D

I will be pulling the stripes off :D Just gotta find time when I am not working or sleeping.

SnyperEB: Apparantly it had a full head rebuild, crow cam and vernier timing gear, I removed the rocker cover to sus out the cam gear (Hadn't seen one on an E-Series before) And it was not there, the guy I bought it off produced a receipt to say it was done, apparantly the workshop didn't bother, I am now being compensated :)

On a lighter note, I replaced my engine mounts today (both snapped), and fitted a 30mm swaybar with new bushes. Haven't driven it yet but I am excited to see how much better it is.
