Default My New EF. Custom Green.

Hi fellas,(and the occasional fem around here),

Some of you know i was interested in the custom green EF which was for sale in Shepparton VIC. I was keen to get as many details over the net, and basically took the risk and drove down to purchase it. Well i am one happy fella.



Now since i live in brissy, i had to get down there to get it. With the grand finals, a flight was impossible, so it was up to my $80 nissan Bluebird to get me and my mate down there. Well luckily i took a spare set of points as it broke down about 300kms short of shepparton, but a quick diagnosis of no spark and changing of the key components got us back on the road again. Looked at the car a little later and bought it then and there.

Decided to take the car for a test drive, so went to melbourne and dropped dans manifold off in bayswater. Then decided to drive through the night and get here home. Not a glitch at all, and got 820km to a tank of premium.(surprising)...

So now shes home(above pic), and here is the interior.


Now i dont like the blue, although the white is a little appealing. Anyone want to suggest some colours/schemes which would look good?

The engine is stock, with a redback exhaust. I found out on the way home that the diff ratio is different to stock, as the speedo read 110, when i was doing 104(hume speed check). calculating 110/104 * 3.08 led me to believe it had a 3.23, which i later confirmed. It has a tickford rocker cover, but thats about it.



Ive got heaps of money to spend, and here is the planned mods.

Put my AU motor in
Chip Torque Tuned hp4 chip
Sure cam/Dev 5
ported/shaved head
3.9 diff gears/lsd/lokka?
Custom Air Intake
Either my mandrel 3 inch? or the redback 2.5? with my 3 inch hi flow cat?
Custom Air Intake

The idle is a little lumpy, its my first manual falc, does anyone else have any issues with the idle? Other than that, she goes really good up top.

Will also be selling my other EF so more $$$ So look foreward to some updates :nutsycuck :nutsycuck
