Love the tinted rims, tail lights and lowering, not too sure about the rest...If only we were allowed that kind of ride height! It would be SO awesome!

mintea - your car looks great, the wheels and ride height are perfect! Have you had any trouble with the spacers clicking or the nuts loosening off at all? We have a few members up here who have had dramas...

Mate, that is the finest EA I have ever seen. Personally I'm not at all fond of the EA and consider it simply a prelude to the EB and ED (I drive a Black Pearl EB II Ghia), but I honestly confess that your's is simply an excellent example.

A very fine example of an E series ride.

Does it go as well as it looks?

haha its really easy when ive been using photoshop for 4 years!!

yeh i reakon clear indicators look 100% better than orange ones. orange ones look tacky to me whereas clear ones follow through from the headlight.

cheers

ok, at the front i have pedders sports ryder shortened shocks with a shortened spring seat, but in the photo its not as low as it is now, the rears are sports ryder shocks with kings springs SL minus a coil thanks to my mate MR RYOBI GRINDER. i ran the car at calder last night and managed a PB of 15.04 which i was somewhat happy with. as for the clear indicators which i have tried, i myself think the ambers look neater and more in place. tinted rears would look good but its still on my not to sure if i wanna do list. the car is clean but i want it to abide by its name of MINTEA so it will be getting sprayed soon the same colour but with a nice pearl or flakes through it. as for the donk its a 3.9 with a stage two cam vernier gear, 3.23 LSD, 5 speed and full lukey system. i think a 15.04 is pretty good considering the car has 213k's on the clock. cheers guys for all the comments. and as for the rims they are starcorp fusions which i picked up from Motorsport wheels anf tyres in DOVETON.
