Hey all

This garage section is a great idea! My ride is a 2004 BA Futura. Bought from the auctions in 2006, here it is stock;



Not longer afterwards the mods started. I wanted a reliable daily that wasn't too heavy on fuel (I do about 130km/day), that looked good without being a cop magnet, and went hard. So the initial mods began. They included;

- First mod was the F6 lower/upper snorkle combo. Still one of my fav mods, gave instantly better induction note and all round improvement
- K&N filter
- Put in the audio system from my old car, 4 channel amp/sub/5x7s.
- Interior stuff like scuff plates, hands free kit, mp3 connector

I then started to collect bits and pieces for a full exhaust
- Pacemaker 4490s
- Magnaflow 3" cat
- xr8 catback

Once installed, the car had an awesome note. I went for hidden dual dump-style tips to keep the stock look.







Next came a custom tune, at the same time I had a 20% underdrive harmonic balancer installed and a lower temp thermostat. Came out tuned to 175.6 rwkw, with firmer shifts and torque tags removed.

I then put on a set of 18" Zenetti Kaotics. Tyres for 19's are a bit too exxy for me considering the km I do. Also had it lowered using king SL's all round. Later I had a set of DBA 4000 rotors and Bendix pads fitted. Here it is now;









Petrol prices, along with saving for our wedding next year, made me look into LPG. The car now runs an SVI injection system, with a donut tank in the spare wheel well. I had the gas system tuned by the installers, so it's only a 3 rwkw loss. The press of a button lets me switch back to petrol.

I'm kind of at a loss of where to go now, I don't want to do any more performance mods. A tripod setup is waiting, I just need to buy the gauges. I have a force style lip spoiler waiting to go on, but externally I think I'm happy, and the interior is in good nick. Maybe one day put in a premo screen but I'm not overly fussed.

Anyway that's my car!

hey mate did the underdrive pully do much?? nice Ba to!!

good work with the minimal loss of rwkw converting to gas... im also wondering how the pulleys went..

Nice car. Bit like mine. How much did she cost when you bought her??
Cheers
