I love that colour!

Dump the car on its guts and that should set it off.

YEah lowering the car would make it look wesome then. Id go to interior/ stereo and engine mods .
That is truly a mint car for a L plater

thanks guys,

BROCKYB8, ive already done the stereo and stuff and wanting to lower it but a mate works for holden *fag* but hes going to lower my car for free so just waiting on him to get the tools, ultras all round?? and i also want to do some engine mods but the new p plater laws suck i dont want 2 be told i cant drive the car so the only thing ive done is a cold air intake

Dump It And Rip The Spoiler Off

looks mint for an l-plater mate.

idd say EF taillights, and chuck a cam in as its almost impossible for a cop to know if its cammed if your worried about that, loose the spoiler too.

skewy_33 · Post by **skewy_33** » April 21st, 2009, 3:06 pm

yeh i was going to get some1 to cam it but i need to find a place in melb thats pretty good at that sort of stuff thats close to my place

Just be careful when lowering it. Pete/phatel had 19" gtps and super lows (i think?) and wore the tyres from them touching the guards. Might be a good idea to get em rolled

The insides were worn, but that's just a camber issue.

Nah the guards scrubbed until he had them rolled which stopped it.

like mentioned by others, lowering and losing the boot spoiler is a definite !!

vegabass · Post by **vegabass** » April 22nd, 2009, 3:43 pm

Im going to go the other way...

Dont touch it!!!! leave it as it is. Looks perfect now and if you lower it you run the risk of ripping the genuine front lip off in car parks which are almost impossable to find and so damn expensive. it will save you in defects. Just stick a cam and chip in it and it will be plenty for a P plater.

skewy_33 · Post by **skewy_33** » April 22nd, 2009, 3:48 pm

yeh dw i reveresed into something took the back bumper off took my 2months to find 1 and it was 220 in a different colour from a wreckers but the time i got the new bumper fixed up and sprayed $500 gone

Post by **EFFalcon** » April 22nd, 2009, 3:55 pm

the GT wheels suit it nicely.

Good looking El, well done with the mods, extractors are always a good adition

ELOVER · Post by **ELOVER** » May 7th, 2009, 3:26 pm

pretty damn sure i saw u pulling out on to the calder freeway today round 1130 so i started chasing you was sitting on 130 for abit but you kept pulling away. also parked at bp/kfc/maccas at like 230? if it was you your car looks sick, if it wasnt you someones car is almost identical from yours.

ELOVER, yeh that was mine man i saw ya to in the mirror always looking out for other eseries and yeh i work at the maccas there it sits out the front pretty much everyday

DEVLXR · Post by **DEVLXR** » May 7th, 2009, 11:17 pm

Very nice car mate, wheels suit it. As others have said lower it, EF tail lights, lose the spoiler, cam it, extractors and exhaust. You'll be content for a while!

krisisdog · Post by **krisisdog** » May 8th, 2009, 1:34 am

Make sure you get some shortened shocks with ultras.
EF tail lights, de spoiler, 1636/1673 cam, extractors + exhaust will do ya for a while
If its a slushbox get a shitkit, manual get a ripshifter and short stick.

SgtBourne · Post by **SgtBourne** » May 8th, 2009, 1:43 pm
