Woops. Forgot to introduce myself

Postby SnipeZ » February 21st, 2009, 9:08 pm

Hey Guys.
im 19 and come from Moe.
i bought my 94 EF about 4 months ago for $1,000

It came with extractors and a 2 1/2 exhaust. 16" speedys with mitch match tires and 3/4 tickford kit. the paint protector on the boot was really bubbly :( so i got a mate to goto jollys and pick me up a new lid. he got the wrong color
after putting another $1,000 into her, She was registed (WOO!!)
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

After about 5,000k's the auto started to slip. i serviced it. saved it for another 500 and she was suffering. so off the road she came.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

i purchashed a conversion kit for $350. after alot of troubles with converting it she started up for the first time :)
i purchased a can of niteshades and had a lil fun
Image

now ive started doing up the interior a bit :) and thats where im at now
Image
Image

in the future i plan to get some 18x7.5 xhp Jets for the front and 18x8.5 for the rear, superlows or ultras all round, au conversion and hopefully when im off my P's a turbo and intercooler setup.

bargain for the price.
some 17/18" rims and front skirt would finish it off nicely.

Nice looking car. Loose the towball if you must, but you need a de-bading and adirty great big exhaust tip hanging out the ass of it :)

autobard sells a spray thing that they claim deadens sound. basically rip the entire contents of the boot out, spray it on the bare metal and let it dry. i did a similar thing with my old wagon over the whole rolling shell of the car and it came up a treat.

lol yea. was my first attempt at spray painting all together. i was thinking of sanding the gloss out of the lights and doing like a matt black then giving it a clear coat.
ive seen it done and it looks really great cos you cant see any red under the black.
