can't say I'm a fan of those wheels. The rest sounds good though.

I usually hate those wheels... but surprisingly I think they look pretty good, and would even go as far as to say they suit it nicely! Sits tough too! Lose the pin-striping though ;)

Naw, I could swear in the second pic it's got pin-striping just below the body-crease-line-thing... Damn old age is getting to me I'm going blind! (or maybe it's the booze)

Did you hook up an AU Tickford style snorkel? Yeah from memory I think they needed heating where it fouls on the PS pump pulley. The ELGT snorkels don't have this problem :D

Nice ride, but I'm with Homad, not a fan of the wheels.

I'm with you. I'm not usually a fan of those rims (see them on every second VX etc) but it's actually refreshing to see them on an EF. They suit it really well.

regarding the SS Induction snorkel, that's a bit of a bummer, but that's the thing with hindsight eh
