Lowered King springs, Munro shocks
Pacey's and 2.5: system with 3" tip
DVD / TV / MPS etc stereo
New Yokos
Window Tint
Shift Kit
Urathane bushesnts alround
BTR 4 speed auto <-- yuk

This makes me miss my old EB!!

Plans:

Picking up tickford head tomorrow

On the lookout for a cent S/C - Vortech or something.

Also getting a 2nd hand bottom end that I will rebuild slowly

I have also :

replaced the two front window regulators so now both front windows work

New antenna

Car has done 173,000 kms and is in pretty good nick considering it's age.

Not bad, whats the benefit of using an EL computer without BBM?

Looks tough with those wheels too!

Those wheels are so old school, but I kinda like them

Wow, you're game with the 2J1 in the engine bay! Good to see how it holds up, mine's in the drivers footwell.

Devlxr - The EL ECu went is as the J3 has definitions for it so much easier to tune. So it kinda had to be that way. I can now put pretty much any tune in the car I need. The only downside is that the pwer/econ switch on the transmission works in reverse - It will be easy to get the EL thermo fans going with it too.

I'm picking up an EL Tickford motor tomorrow - going the throw the head and BBM on the car straight away, whilst rebuilding the bottom end over time.

Jason - They say the 2J1 in it's sealed ABS plastic case is OK to put in the engine bay - so I took their word for it - so far so good and I have splashed shit all over it - as you can see from the pics.

You should buy Rollin's SVO spoiler if he still has it, it's already the right colour and everything.

Have you thought about getting rid of the pin-striping?

Hmmm tempting -

No I haven't thought of getting rid of the pinstriping yet - but yeah - that's a good idea.

I'm also tinkering with the idea of two ford GT strips - but black ones.. - I know a bit bogan - but goes with the wheels and windows

i really like ya car good work mate

New Pics:

I changed the wheels for some XR6 ones -

Also - mocked up a GT stripe - to see what it looked like - Opinions please:

nice car, but no gt stripes please.....

i like the rims, ive never seen any like that, and the headunit, thats unusual too

ban.

They are FG XR6 17's yeah? You running adapters for those?

yer i love the xr rims but not the stripes

ok ok - i'll take the stripes off -

and the side pin striping

yes - and that

i dont mind the pin striping, breaks up the white quite nicely, those fg rims really suit it too

No Stripes. FG XR6 wheels look awesome on boxcars!
