Sick EB · 02-10-2006, 07:41 PM

i saw that car today in the city. stood out like anything. looks even better in the flesh than in the pic. i think i saw it last week aswell come to think of it.

Hey guys thanks for all your feedback! The wheels are 19" Fpv Gt-P copies, made to fit e-series offset, so no need for spacers. I bought them from the trading post, brand new wheels, slightly used rubber but in excellent condition- practically new! Then had my rear gaurds lipped as the 255's where rubbing on the rear (235's at the front), cost me $1,650 in total.

EDXR6T - ed ghia interior.. is tempting.. bastard! :nutsycuck
XRated - Hey Luke this is something ive thought about aswell, but have never looked into it.
Fantz - Thats a good price, don't know how much extra the tyres would cost though. Wheels Direct have wheels/tyre packages for $2499 for the GT-P copies with new rubber.<link>I'm sure you can get them for cheaper than that. Make sure you shop around.
MADNC_8 - Wayne, they will definately look awesome on the NC ;)
Sick EB - lol i work in the city. You must have seen me around Elizabeth st.

Anyone selling an electric e-series sunroof? I soo want one! :sm_drool:

yeah i've wanted one for years... and now i have one. I know that doesn't help you in the slightest. I had the choice of buying one for the EL, and a set of extractors, but then the EB came along, with both of those items already and a BUNCH more, for the same price it was going to cost me for the roof and headers :P

which brings me to my next statement, LTDHO has/had an EB Ghia V8 with a sunroof in it for sale, maybe you should buy that :P It'd go nicely sitting next to the XR. Not sure if he still has it though ?

That car looks awesome, you got good taste man!

Can i get some more info on the rims... like was it a private purchase or you got it from someone who has more of them to fit the e-series?

Bipolar · 03-10-2006, 12:53 PM

Soooo much phatnusss! IMHO that's the best colour/wheel combo I've ever seen on an EA-ED.

snypereb · 03-10-2006, 06:21 PM

That thing is tuff as nice ride man.

MADED-6 · 03-10-2006, 06:43 PM

dam that looks good love the rim choice.

HSVETAR · 03-10-2006, 07:11 PM

Lookin sweet as man, sweet as.....

SB4 · 03-10-2006, 07:39 PM

Thanks guys!

I'm pretty happy with how the car is looking at the moment. Have a few more mods planned, should turn out better hopefully. I've been thinking about putting on a sprint kit for a while now, but still undecided if i should or not. I probably won't end up doing it, but then again who knows i might.

It was a private purchase. I know The Tyre Factory is also doing wheels/tyre packages of the same copies, but don't know how much they're asking.

05-10-2006, 12:29 AM

yeah sweet ride i remember seeing it at the cruise a while back. my next mod is definetly those rims!

SB4 · 03-11-2006, 12:05 PM

On the way to work last week, i was sitting at a set of lights, the lights went green for the turning lane beside me, but the old lady behind me thought it was the green light to go straight. So she took off and drove straight into me lol It was a light hit though, not much damage at all. I was told by the panelbeater that if i hadn't had my towbar i would've had more damage. Anyway, she put a claim through her insurance so its getting fixed. Im getting a new bumper, and also having the front xr grill & bottom lip resprayed as they had a fair few stone chips. Having the towbar removed aswell (something i've been wanting to do for ages, but couldn't be bothered),i never use it and think it'll look much better without it. The whole car will be getting polished too. I'll be picking it up tomorrow, will post some new pics.

Christiaan · 03-11-2006, 12:10 PM

You don't have much luck with women in other cars hitting you!
