No! I've wanted the taillights for ages and got them for my birthday haha! I love them (: Looks real different from all the others driving around haha.

Yeah lowering it is on the ta-do list (:

There so bright though. My old EL had them, but they were heaps darker than that!

Yeah they are but I love 'em (: You don't see any ELs running around with them Will look so much better once the wheels are on

pHaT`eL and I both had them in our ELs for a bit and got over em pretty quick. You might not. There's a thread here full of cheap stuff you can do, but if you're a bit strapped I'd only do stuff that keeps it reliable (for obvious reasons). Extractors will cost a bit in the start but get second hand ones and it will save you money in the long run if you keep your foot off the floor lol. Or just put it on gas while you can still get a rebate.

I won't, hopefully haha! Oh yes it's on duel fuel (: I snatched up that rebate quickly, I only payed $150 ontop of it!
Hmm Extractors huh? That's an idea, does that improve fuel economy? I'll be sure to check out those threads (: Thanks!

Looks clean, and your local!


What 18's do you have for it?

Haha I am local!

Ummm I'm not sure what these 18s are called, but they're nice. My friend got new rims on his car so he gave his old ones to me Once they're on I'll post pics He probably knows the name of them haha

Sorry but I have to agree with Pete/Todd, tailights are too bright. It's your car though, definately go exhaust, lower (slam it! Otherwise no point ) and stereo. They seem to be the first things people do What exhaust you got that's going on it?

As long as you don't bury your right foot in the carpet, yep.

Very nice . there are always some deals to be had on the forums in terms of parts .
Looks fairly clean.
Like beth said the mods she listed are always a good start

looking good, agree about the tail lights but if you like them thats all that matters...
put up a pic of the wheels

Saw this turning from Victoria rd onto Maroondah Hwy earlier this arvo.

Thanks everyone! Lol yeah I love the lights (:

The exhaust has been done, cost me a whopping $10 to put it on Bargain! Best $10 ever spent methinks! haha.

I'll be lowering it this weekend, have a friend who is giving me the springs and such. I'll post pics when the wheels go on eventually haha.

I think i saw this a couple days ago next to burntbridge shopping centre, have you got the wheels on yet?

Not yet, but probably in the next month or so.

I'm getting some 16's EL XR6 wheels from a friend for the time being because my tyres are re-treads (the guy I bought the car off did me a dodgy grrr) So soon it'll have different wheels until I get the 18's on (:

It'll be lowered in the next few weeks too, I scored springs off a friend

youre good at scoring parts haha
very nice, the tail lights arent that bad imo

Just dump it on the FTR's. Will look pretty good

Thanks! Yeah I've had awesome luck scoring parts haha!
Dumping it this weekend! So excited!

UPDATE!


The Melbeast has been lowered with Monroe(sp?) suspension and now has XR6 wheels (: They're only temporary until I can afford to put my 18s onto it, but they look waaaay better non-the less! Cost to lower car and put wheels on it = $0 Man I got lucky!!

Before;



Now;
