Hi All, Im Jay

[089JAY]

Hi, Im Jay, I own a 94 EF Futura, 175 thou k's. Owned it for about 6 months. It's absolutely stock apart from a set of splits in the front doors, T35 Tints and tinted tail lights.

Future plans include, Pod Filter setup and CAI via flush mount bonnet vent, 2 - 3 inch drop, 2.5inch Cat back, Big Stereo, Darker Tint, EF Typhoon Kit, Oil Pressure Water temp and AFR Gauges (only because I have almost destroyed 1 motor thanks to oil pump failure), HID Kit.

I've probably missed something but noones perfect.

Heres a couple of pics.





I welcome constructive criticism and enjoy feedback.

Thanks, Jay

Welcome to the forums bud, seems like you've got half a clue with what you want from it.
I'd drop it before doing anything else to it, and you can fit a Fairmont/XR instrument cluster which includes a volt and oil pressure gauge.

[089JAY]

I have actually thought about that, only thing I'm worried about is winding it back/forward to match the km my cluster shows

[deansxr6]

just buy one with roughly the same amount of kms.

[089JAY]

So Queensland Police don't like my Tail-lights, didnt Defect me, just a small fine for driving a Defective Vehicle

[Dumpsta]

Bad luck buddy.. they seem to be finally cracking down on stuff like that up here. It was good for so long but Im hearing of more and more defects getting handed out. They're cracking down on '4WD enthusiasts' until xmas, so we were told last weekend when I was part of a cop/epa raid up at the rocks.

[089JAY]

I used to own a little White Swift, got stickered in that, but it was asking for it. EG:the exhaust tip finished roughly 80mm off the ground. Never thought I'd get done for tinted lights though.

[Dumpsta]

Hows the flood going for you jay? We got the word yesterday that Gin Gin - Childers was open so we got home while we can and luckily got the deposit back we'd paid for a motel in sunshine coast. From what I saw last night, rocky is about to be screwed, it was 8.2m this morning and lapping the bruce highway through town and its expected to reach anywhere between 9.4-10m. Thoroughly screwed.

[089JAY]

Yeah, we're okay where we are at the moment mate, Old house (which we still own til the 4th) is gunna get wet (just around the yard) at 9.5m, at its current state my oldfolks place is a swamp, but its on Quay St so thats to be expected, at the projected level of 9.5 - 10m Dad has water in his loungeroom.

[089JAY]

Few things happening in the coming weeks. I got the shit's with the light on the dash telling me the Coolant Level is low when its not so I ordered Coolant Temp (so I can actually see whats going on) and Volt Gauges. Also going to try LED Footwell lights in the bottom of the dash, so when the interior lights are on the footwell's are alos lit up.

[weavahhh]

looks nice mate will keep an eye on this

[DFP4LTR]

Getting done for tinted lights is bullshit provided you haven't gone overboard and blacked them out. Just the other day I saw a Commadore getting around with blacked out lights. Not with nightshades but with black rattlecan paint. Couldnt see a single bit of light coming from them when he was braking or indicating. Imo they should have some sort of light indicator test instead of just defecting everyone with tinted lights.

[089JAY]

I'm getting another set of EL lights this arvo, I'm thinking I might tape off the Reverse Light and Indicator and Nite Shades them aswell.

[Dumpsta]

Get a set of ef taillights and leave em std. Win. Only way tinted tail lights look any good is if they're ultra glossy and I failed in my attempt.

[EFFalcon]

Tint then clear coat

[089JAY]

My Niteshaded ones were glossy, but they also got polished atleast once a fortnight.

[Dumpsta]

I tinted mine and cleared them and still failed.

[LUVSIT]

personaly i dont like tinted rear lights on a white car, thats blacked out i mean
if u do like 2 ta 3 coats should come up alrite
and like u said about taping up the indicator and reverse i like that heaps better than black all over

[Dumpsta]

Jay do you work off the same street as Blackwoods etc? Thought I may have seen this parked off the street the other day on my way to Spraylynx (Alexandria Street)

[089JAY]

Yeah mate, would have been parked off Farm St. Missus works at Laceys Trailers, I also do a few days here and there for them when I can

[Dumpsta]

Parked on the dirt other side of road? Would have been it then, looked clean mate, any wheels on the way for it?

[089JAY]

Hahahaha, it actually got bathed for the first time since November lastnight, and there's dents EVERYWHERE now, both gaurds are being replaced shortly though. As for wheels, looking at a set of 19Inch Phoons or a set of VE GTS 19's on Spacers. Then get the steelies widened for a set of sticky's for the strip.

[Dumpsta]

I'll be selling my phoons in a month or so mate.

[089JAY]

With your spacers aswell mate or just the wheels?

[Dumpsta]

The 8mm ones Im running behind the wheels? They are pre-au copies.

[089JAY]

Oh okay, thought your's were genuine mate. I found somewhere in Rocky that can make the spacers to run just about any wheels I want today.

[Dumpsta]

Anyway, make me an offer if your interested mate.

[Dumpsta]

Hey bro, letting you know my 19's are for sale now, got a job up north so I'll only be home every second weekend to see the missus' and the falcoon. I intend on just sitting it on a set of stocko's until the week before my wedding and I'll put the new ones on. So yeah make me an offer.. you never know Tyres are Neutons. Front @ 80%, rear @ 60%. Rims have a bit of gutter rash on a couple of rims and a few marks on the face, and I can honestly say I didnt put them there haha.

Damien.
