Hey all. Got myself a pretty shitty ef about 16mnths ago, as youll see things havnt really changed with it. Just been lowered Inch at the front and and inch and a half at the rear. This coming from getting done ripping a burnout past a copper just after i got it, sort of turned me off doing anything to it.
Seeming that its not the greatest looking car, ill probs head down the road of trying to make it look like a sleeper (well sort of). At the moment, one of the lifters is fucked and has to go in to get that fixed. Had alot of stupid little problems with her of late.
Im looking at getting the rears widen to 8's, fully exhaust and maybe lowering it another hlaf an inch or so, we'll see

Mine would run fine once it started, but didnt know if it would start. Thought it was the neutral switch, wasnt the case, went back in, and found that the ignition switch was sticking, got that fixed and now runs fine (apart from the lifters)
