Awesome car Dylan!

For ages I planned to have my BA looking exactly the same, with those wheels and no spoiler etc.

BF Tail lights will definitely be my next mod too. Can I ask what you paid for yours?

cheers ash, yeah thats what i was saying to you bout losing spoiler.would look mad on your car. bf lights tho are a must have.

paid a bit more than they are gonig for ( $24k)

but things like the gt wheels, exhaust, cooler, lowered, and 6 speed made it worth it...for me anyway.\

dylan.

here is just a random pics at my step dads joint.

and i like the look of opening up the ba doors and seeing the xr scuff plates, so thought i would get myself a set. and they cheap too,

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » September 20th, 2008, 3:14 pm

and as i had taken off spoiler there was holes in boot lid, so i sorsed a ba xt boot (no holes) and as im a painter by trade i took it to work and sprayed it up.

bentls · Post by **bentls** » September 20th, 2008, 4:23 pm

dylan you dork he was asking how much the lights were...

$120 or so. bought 1 from swap meet with a big scratch in it which he repaired for like 20-30 bucks (i forgot how much exactly) and the other from grant walker for $90 or so....

but saw a pair auctioned off at $315 with bids on ebay about a month ago..... go figure?

yeah mate do miss the eb a bit.

here is a small mod. for some gay reason ford put the ecu in the engine bay. im sure there is a reason behind it, but looks shit. so i got a ecu cover off ron from the ORSM ford cruisers and painted it up.

ugly ecu :

new cover in gel coat :

first coat of orange:

all painted up nice:

and finished product. not a big mod but just nice to cover up that ecu

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » September 25th, 2008, 10:51 pm

looks nice man. i never liked the ecu in my engine bay, stupid place to put it.
got any plans for the factory cross over piping piece? like a custom intake or something??

EBOOST · Post by **EBOOST** » September 26th, 2008, 4:44 pm
