Welcome Ben,

Throw up some pics, tell us what you want to do with the EBII! Where abouts are you based? We've got a cruise in Melbourne on the 25th if you're interested.

awesome, thanks for the quick welcome mate! im based in gippsland, but im close enough that i should be able to come down for the odd cruise. plans for the eb? well, theres some basic panel work to be done first seems to have had a bit of a rough previous life, but some tlc and hard work will get her looking great. i was thinking of an ed xr front, maybe, but at the same time every second man and his dog seem to do that to falcons.. short term im thinking lowering it more, and getting a boot lip spoiler and clear indicators.
pics to come asap

Definately a great base to start with. Those wheels are fine, and if IIRC, there pretty rare?

Just lower it (Superlows all round) and throw the clear indicators on, as well as AU3 clear repeaters.

Anyway, that cruise I mentioned before, it's on the 25th (a Friday) if you're free. Vaguely eastern melbourne I think?

They were a factory option Kyle. Uncommon, but hardly rare.

Hey Ben welcome.

As above start with clear indicators (ebay for them) and a bit lower.

I have a XR boot lip spoiler in green if you are interested. PM me.
XR front quads are pricey, artound $700 plus paint.

Any engine mod's?

Yeah, im thinking ill steer clear of the quad lamps, its an EB not an ED, so why should it pretend, even tho it might look great.
Engine mods? None as yet, only had the car for 3 weeks or so, but i have a cam here which im planning to get worked, under the new p plate laws that im victim to, i cant have any serious mods :cry:
So, im thinking ill work the cam and head, which wont be tooooo obious but will make a difference!
