Well, thought I might put up some info on my e-series.

Bought it after selling my GTS, wanted something cheap and cheerful that I could play around with, and not worry about.

^^ lookin good!

Anyway, then came exhaust and sht, and some sick wheels. Time passed, a T5 found its way into the car, along with a 3.45 LSD, whiteline sway bars, a Wade cam, and thermos.

Lowered it too...

Then, got sick of my small wheels, so I purchased some 18s.

Image

Then, lowered it more..

^^ scrubs rather badly... :cry:

Currently, it has a rebuilt AU motor with oversized ACL race pistons & bearings, AU rods and other goodies. Also has a wade 977b cam, rebuilt and strengthened T5.

Needs a bit of work still. List comprises headwork, valve springs, vernier gear.

I'm heading down to Heathcote park in a few weeks, hope to break 15.5 :D (keeping my hopes down so if I fluff it, I wont cry :? )

Currently got pedders sports ryder xtreme with king superlows, its actually lower now than in the pictures I put up, think I'm gonna have to raise it slightly :(

Might put lows in the front, coz the pedders shocks have a lowered spring seat anyway.
