far too much stuff is going on with my car in the next 12 months to mention
everything from engine, auto, diff, interior, exterior and suspension mods...

i cant wait!!

Psycho Chicken · 12-01-2005, 07:05 PM

Fix the head gasket
Fix the T5 and get it in the car
Fix my rear suspension
Fix my charging system issue (most likely just the battery)
get the bonnet, RHF guard, boot and spoiler painted
Replace my roof lining with a Fairmont one and tap some dents out of the roof while I'm at it
Fix the camber....maybe, high speed cornering IS fun.
Fix my odometer
Get the rest of the Sprint Kit, paint it and drive round to Dave's to show it off :P

And something else that no one knows about! MWA HAHAHAHAHA

Oh and get an XB.

EDXR8 · 12-01-2005, 07:49 PM

Still have to get my engine running and tuned properly, fingers crossed in the next few weeks. Then its some paint work and maybe a body kit.

dev3hl with unichip

ilsautomotive · 12-01-2005, 07:59 PM

I hope I can mod my car so I can actually drive it. But this is appearing wildly optimistic at this stage.

Nah not really, these things happen. Better off having a well looked after, good running car, then a big time modified crap box

Damo · 12-01-2005, 08:21 PM

i wanna fix my steering. :(

n`stuff.

I might buy a commodore. That'd be cool.

Psycho Chicken · 12-01-2005, 08:22 PM

Exactly, I just plan on fixing it and getting it looking respectable before I go all out on a project car.

EASPRINT · 12-01-2005, 08:24 PM

I'm saving for some billet rods and some more boost......

Paris Hilton · 12-01-2005, 08:48 PM

First of all i'd like a car...

then it all depends what's wring with it

Simmo · 12-01-2005, 09:03 PM

dansedgli · 12-01-2005, 11:06 PM

haha you need to take a closer look at the panels. I dont think there is one without a dint or bad scratch. I should look into making it look faster. I drove around for an hour tonight and no-one would run me, not even a skyline :(

Stevo · 12-01-2005, 11:22 PM

did you go to knox ?

I'm thinking it can be the halfway stop (more like 3/4) point on the Melbourne to Horsham cruise that was suggested a while ago...

DUDE IM THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

Lets see whats planned........
Moffo Front Bar
16" or 17" Mags
Full Boot installation
EB/ED Black Climate Control
Fitt the new motor DAMN IT! (4.0 with EF cam)
2.5" Lukey Sports exhaust with Extractors
Tint
Car Computer (just need the Touch Screen)
MPFI conversion...... Wait ive done that!

(Sorry cant belive its done)
Full Respray in ED Marine Blue?

Im also playing with the idea of a XR front on my car after I paint it

**Stav** · 12-01-2005, 11:48 PM

My planned mod is to sort out air fuel ratios to maximise torque and power from 0-100 kmph and still enjoy my 141.6rwkws..

XRated · 13-01-2005, 12:03 AM

Damn, I have so many... Everytime I even begin saving for mods, something shits itself.

But for now it's getting a new pan on my tranny, installing my Wade cam, sorting out the thermos properly, getting the alternator up to scratch, fixing an annoying rattle, removing my tow bar, finishing my boot install...

Damn, so much. And then there's what I want to do!

Need Fairmont side bolsters, fix my console lid, finish painting some interior trim, new door trims and power windows, extractors, do something 'custom' with my zorst, diff... Ahhh and then there is a billion things I dream of (blower, fix up the paint, new audio system etc).

Do you ever wonder if it's all a waste of money?

it's a passion, but unfortunately a passion for cars is an expensive one to have :P

since i got the eb in january 04 (a year ago, in one weeks time) ive done:
- replaced the 14" (yakk) wheels with 17"
- had superlows fitted
- got the exhaust deal installed
- gone through 2 headunits, 2 sets of speakers, an amp and a sub
- the biggest and most costly mod of them all: peeling off the pinstripes

(out of the blue on a random evening cos i was bored.)

what ive got planned:
- an eb gt kit (in progress)
- extractors
- more attractive mirrors/handles
(ill look further into that later after starting a brand-war thread :P)
- an alarm

the 'maybe one day if i have the extra cash and time' pile:
- respray
- turbo
(way over my head with this one, but its a long way off, if it even happens)

Yeah, I went all over. I had a nice black R33 pull up next to me and took off like my mum. I wasnt happy. An SS ute flew past me at about 150 so I caught up to him for some fun then he turned off. An XR6 turbo wouldnt go either with a young guy driving. It was a bit frustrating.

I could have possibly spent one of the largest amounts modding a pretty bad example of an E series but I say its worth it. The look on a VX SS drivers face when after 200 metres or so you are right next to them and starting to edge away is priceless.
Even all the holden boys love the EB now. You beat them and tell them its turbo and they love it.

EFFalcon · 13-01-2005, 09:15 AM

damn Dan...
ur car gives me weird feelings ;)
lol i want mine to do that!
