Hey, im Ryan and i have an El Futura.
Its fairly stock atm but i have some mild plans 4 it.
Its lowered, Has tinted windows, 17'' mags, and an exhaust system.
I have got 2 12'' Clarion subs, a Clarion apx1300 amp and 4 6'' round speakers 4 it but havn't put them in yet.

I am hoping to do a lilttle bit more work to it when i get a bit more cash!
But i have to fix a few things first! Like;
The gearbox - Changes rough when driving easy. But if thrashing it changes fine????
3rd cylinder is down on compression?? Maybe Head gasket??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated??

Ill add some photos when i figure out how too!!

with ya box it might just need a service and it prob would be a head gasket.
check if the coolant is mixing with the oil and shit.

Good luck with it buddy

Thanx mate, Not bad for $600

oh yea the coolant isnt mixing with the oil. i check it every couple of days but is using a shitload of water!
i just got the gearbox serviced about a month ago.

one of my mates from work said it might just need an electronic shift kit??

possibly.
is there a heap of steam coming from the exhaust?
could be a leaky radiator. split hose.
broken heater core.
drive your car over a massive bit of cardboard. run the car for 10-20 mins. turn it off then check the cardboard to see any leaks.
could be a leaky water pump. could be a number of things. hole in a welsh plug
