Got that right!

Jump on carsales and look at how many b series there are out there compared to e series. Can't go past a clean e series over a b series that have 150 + km's on it and been thrashed to the shit house.

Even in ford magazines, every second page has something to do with a b series turbo. Keep the e series, clean it up, boost it and then cruise it.
1998 EL XR6: Sunroof, Manual (Astro A5 soon), Kit, 19" Silver Argents.
Currently redoing all suspension components, big brake kit, stripping apart for a respray, dynamatting whole interior.

Sucks about the canary mate, but your car looks so damned mint with those wheels on it. Hopefully you will get it cleared easy enough. I fail to see how a low car is a danger to other motorists, but you get that.

Chasing a front end knock in this thing lately pretty sure its the rack so ill swap that out soon.
Also changed the rear lower control arms, put a new rocker cover gasket, steering intermediate shaft, power steering pump, throttle cable, cruise cable, cruise module, brake pressure switch
That's as I cleared the defect lol
Then I chopped 1 1/2 coils off the stock springs so next time its not so bad haha Image
