Suggestions for ED Futura

Postby SKuhne » June 27th, 2011, 10:37 pm

Hey guys, I've had this Futura for a while now, and I've done some slight mods to this thing. Just wondering if you had any suggestions as to how I could improve this very clean Futura.

Also if you could tell me what you think of it now that would be appreciated, I'm open to all criticism.

The cars got 354,000km on it so I reckon I'll buy a new engine then put a manual in it and then start some other things, cash is always the issue though.

Definitely going to put the AU repeaters on though in the next week or two

Cool, ill have a look at the badge/s on the weekend.

And I have used tyre shine on my tyres before but has anyone noticed that some tyre shine eventually turns the tyres brown? I forget which brand I had used but it got pretty bad.
