been a while since iv seen this, same for the person who made it

since the accident iv slowed up alot, im really keen on just getting it sounding good and a great cruising car for when im driving around, proformance i wouldnt mind but im not after massive kws, 130 - 140 id be happy with, id really like to make it a show car at this stage...the list of things im planning are...
  • replace steering rack
  • xr lsd installed
  • update breaks
  • bigger swaybars
  • hide the loom
  • boot display (mild)
  • little bits and pieces to get done to the engine
  • manual conversion
  • lower it more
  • chrome wheel archs
  • bigger wheels, possible 20"
  • respray, engine bay and all, same colour
seems that everyday a BA engine is becoming more possible in the E-Series world so that is on the cards but not till i can garenttee really putting it in

turbo was on the cards but thats not till i get my car for work

Not getting wheels, extractors or the diff anymore but I got better plans which you guys will probably see at the cruise on the 16th!
So much for the cruise on the 16th...............:S:S:S

Anyways, sold that EA and got an EF, plans are:

Get a tune (Done)
Lower it more (Done)
Fit EL Tickford Kit (Got the kit, need to spray it and fit it)
Get new front bar (Got this too, just need to spray it and fit it)
New wheels
Race it and get the best time possible.....
......Convert to LPG

Then we'll see how we go after that.
