InfernalTyrant's EA

I had a tough time deciding between tint and venetians, in the end I went with tint, but I suppose it's up to you in the end. Either would look good imo.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 19th, 2011, 4:56 pm

I'm just not sure if venetians would suit the colour at all. I think they're best left for black and white cars.

by **DFP4LTR** » May 19th, 2011, 5:17 pm

Venetians are overrated (awaiting hate comments) I think maybe on a sleeper its alright but it just wouldn't look right on this car imo.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 19th, 2011, 5:29 pm

I love the look of venetians, but I agree, I don't think they'd suit my car.

by **SNR** » May 19th, 2011, 6:49 pm

Venetians suck because they hum!

HATERS! Venetians FTW

by **huggiebear** » May 19th, 2011, 8:57 pm

Venetians need to be left to us LWB owners. they dont suit SWC falcons IMO. they look perfect on fairlanes and LTD's

my green fairlane has them and they look horn!

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 19th, 2011, 9:01 pm

Yeah think I've decided on tint.

Anybody know any good cheap tinting places in the Latrobe Valley?

by **superhuS!** » May 19th, 2011, 9:46 pm

Venetians on anything built after 1979 is pretty fucken gay. Cept wagons.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 19th, 2011, 9:53 pm

I love them. I'd definitely get them if my car was black or white.

by **SLO4LT** » May 20th, 2011, 7:15 am

colour codes venetians? just to be a little bit different?

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 20th, 2011, 9:34 am

I dunno about that… sometimes different's not a good thing. =P

by **pHaT`eL** » May 21st, 2011, 11:21 am

On this? Its got no kit apart from the coming lip spoiler and big rims. I say go for it, just look at travs ea to see how good they look!

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 21st, 2011, 2:27 pm

I'd rather keep that ~$100 and put it towards window tint.

by **pHaT`eL** » May 21st, 2011, 2:30 pm

or get venetians and still have coin left for something else

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 21st, 2011, 2:52 pm

I don't think it will suit the colour, and tint is more practical, my car sits in the sun most of the time at home.

by **EFFalcon** » May 21st, 2011, 2:57 pm

i vote tint.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 21st, 2011, 3:00 pm

Yeah I'm definitely going tint. What's a good percentage to go? I know 35% is darkest legal but it's absolutely pointless to go that because it's hardly tinted at all.

by **EFFalcon** » May 21st, 2011, 3:03 pm

i wouldn't go darker then 20%, however 35% can look fine on a car with a dark interior.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 21st, 2011, 5:25 pm

I dunno, we've got a brand new VE ute in our driveway with 35% tint and a black interior. It doesn't look bad at all, but I'd want it darker.

by **superhuS!** » May 21st, 2011, 5:34 pm

i've got 13% on mine. and its fucking awesome.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 21st, 2011, 5:55 pm

Had any troubles with cops?
I dunno what was on this before, but it was bloody dark.

by **TechXR** » May 22nd, 2011, 11:08 am

I have legal tint in the front 2 windows and 18% in the others, looks pretty mint on my car and I can't get into trouble for it. I think you can get away with having real dark tint unless the cop is being a major dick or something.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 22nd, 2011, 2:40 pm

What do you mean you can't get into trouble for it?

by **superhuS!** » May 22nd, 2011, 2:42 pm

just dont be a smartarse and they wont give you shit for it.

i got pulled over for it once. Bloke goes "mate your tint is bloody dark"

i just pointed at the "smart-tint" sticker on the window and said it was factory.

and i pretty you can have it as dark as you want behind the B pillars.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 22nd, 2011, 2:52 pm

Kinda surprised he would actually believe that.

by **superhuS!** » May 22nd, 2011, 2:57 pm

well i always got dumb as dog shit coppers bar 1. and that exception let me off for going 115 in a 80km/h zone without P plates up and not having my license on me. i got VERY lucky.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 24th, 2011, 11:14 pm

What do people generally do with the gear knob area? Just thinking one of those leather boots of eBay at the moment. That rubber monstrosity has got to go!

by **SNR** » May 25th, 2011, 1:22 pm

EB GT boot.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 25th, 2011, 1:50 pm

They'd be pretty hard to find though.

by **superhuS!** » May 25th, 2011, 4:06 pm

boxcar owners modify BA shifter surrounds. looks mint

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 25th, 2011, 5:21 pm

Anybody got a picture of something like that?

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 25th, 2011, 6:23 pm

Thought I'd be real awesome and bought stickers for the side mirrors. "Objects in mirror are losing."

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 26th, 2011, 4:57 pm

I've been looking around on some other forums and there's people saying they got the EB GT leather boot from Ford for around $30. I've called a few spare parts dealers and they all say that the boot is no longer available. Anybody know where I could get one? Might have to get one of those eBay ones.

if youre referring to a BA shifter, this is the general idea

EA looks good btw, basically looks perfectly visually, no bullshit on it which is always good

maybe get a vid up of the note, wanna hear this cam

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 26th, 2011, 7:50 pm

Oh man, that shifter looks awesome. Might have to try something like that.
Eh, it's far from perfect. There is a few dints and scratches from the bloke before me. One you can see on the back corner under the left tail light. There's two on the bonnet as well but they should pop out easily.
I've gotta get a new idle controller first, gotta have it set to idle a little high at the moment because of it.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 29th, 2011, 6:04 pm

Thinking about LPG, fuel's just way too expensive for me.
Don't really know much about it, I just know that the rebate is still at $1500. What options do I have and what sort of prices would I be looking at?
The gas tank fits between the wheel arches yeah?

by **BBQBurner** » May 29th, 2011, 7:25 pm

yer in the boot above the diff hump. loose about 35% boot space.
If you get someone that has half a clue on how to tune it you'll get decent economy too.

by **InfernalTyrant** » May 29th, 2011, 7:30 pm

Yeah that's cool not worried about losing that space. Subs would block it off anyway.
Gonna work over the holidays so I should have more money to spend. I'll call a few places up here and a few places down at home to see what sort of prices I'll be looking at. Got told it will be around the $3000 mark.

by **EFFalcon** » May 29th, 2011, 7:36 pm

lots of options, but on an EA, i'd go a simple Impco setup.
