Hi all
 Thought I'd share with everyone my '96 EFII GLi I got it mid-December last year with 170K on the clock. Elderly single owner, body work is in good nick, interior is perfect. It had just had a major service, a whole bunch of stuff replaced and new tyres put on not too long ago. Figured for the price I payed, I couldn't go wrong especially since you lose the same amount in stamp duty on a new car  First things on the to-do list were the removal of the louvre, weather shield, bonnet protector, mud flaps and the mid-90's hands-free kit :S  In the time that I have had it, I have replaced the taxi-spec cloth interior with some leather goodness out of a NF Fairlane and a woodgrain shifter, changed the centre console (It had holes from the old phone kit). I changed the headlights and indicators as I blowing lights all the time, the dash globes have all been changed and fitted with red silicone sleeves (CBF mucking about with LEDs right now). I just finished putting a Fairmont green BCM, Fairmont dash loom, trip computer, climate control and a Tickford ECU. To come in the near future will be a mandrel bent intake, super-low springs, a Fairmont instrument cluster and perhaps some EL GT rims. If I can get my cousin to sell me his at a good price  Hope you like  Ben |

Cheers guys
Got plenty of big plans, but we'll see what actually happens, we all say we'll have a 1000hp fire-breathing monster hahaha Having said that, I've been reading up on the wealth of info on here and a bit down the track I think i'll be giving Snort Performance a ring to suss out their supercharger kit. Of course before I do that, there's the preparatory work like cam, injectors, exhaust, extractors, fuel pump etc to be done before i even think about forced induction of any sort. I'm new to the car modding scene so i've got lots of reading and research ahead of me lol Ben |

Rightyo Updates! UPDATES! Wacked in a fairmont cluster and wired up the low coolant sensor, kings superlow spings now make it sit and drive waay better than stock. I have picked up a 94DT tickford head and cam for $120ph <3 u ebay! I was thinking about a crow stage 3 cam to go in along with some stiff valve springs and vernier cam gears. Unless someone else has a better alternative?
I now have a T5, a 2000km old 5 puck ceramic clutch (unknown brand), aftermarket flywheel, manual ECU, alloy tailshaft, EL GT shift boot, and an AU Tickford momo gear knob sitting in my shed too! Once I get my lathe & mill going I'll do up my own gear stick as the one I got with the T5 is a fully sik custom job with a ball-bearing welded to the end max restecp there LOL Also I'll be getting a billet shifter from these guys in fairly short order: Billet Products Australia Things are moving along nicely |
