James' ghia302

Postby ghia302 » September 6th, 2011, 10:57 am

Hey everyone, my name's James and I drive a 91 EB Ghia V8. I've owned it for the last 6 months and love it.
It came with...
- Lukey extractors
- Redback catback exhaust
- Holes cut in the airbox :grin:
- Paratus front seats (the Recaro looking ones)
- BBS style factory rims
- no Smartlock!
- 286,000km

Since owning it I've added
- EL GT snorkel
- new tie rod ends
- new rear shocks (Boge Turbo gas)
- new front tyres (Potenza RE001)
- new front pads (QFM HPX)
- replaced the brake reservoir
- changed the steering wheel (leather Italvolanti Imola)
- 12,000km

It's getting the front end looked at this week, cos it drives like shit at the moment, wheel alignment way out and ball joints/bushes rooted.

Cheers guys. I've been stockpiling parts for it so I need to get off my arse and fit them, got a new heater tap and serp belt amongst other things. Once i get the steering fixed I'm looking to do some really cheap engine mods, ive got a Trickflow 1/2 inch manifold spacer to go in and an AU maf coming soon.

If I run in to some $$$ id love an explorer manifold and better heads, but we'll see.
