yeah might keep it i reckon. i'll sell the patrol to dad, and use some of the money to rebuild my engine, with ACL pistons, Wade cam etc etc.... maybe 12 months down the track Raptor Superchargers will get a call from me
 and i'll respray it too... and manualise it. and retrim the interior. and get new mags.
LOL f**k this mod bug

Saw you driving the beast in Lincoln last weekend along Tasman Tce, think it was Sunday but might have been Monday. She looked the goods and sounded nice too!

Good decision alfy! The EF/EL shape is awesome. I often go outside and just stare at mine.... wishing i could get the energy to get it on the road.

There not that good looking Because i love my car and ef/els in general, thats why. They do look quiet good for their age and if you cant see that your f**k blind. Now enough spamming alfy's thread. If you got anything else you wanna say PM me. |

well, looks like the auto has started to s**t itself sooner than i thought.
on the highway doin 85-90, boot it and it changes back to second, but theres this massive grinding sound coming from the auto and it takes about 2 seconds to kick down
and it clunks like a b**ch when stationary, foot on brake, going from R to D and back again. looks like the manual might be going in sooner than i thought

well, i now know what a prick it is to own a lowered car and live in a town with lots of steep driveways and bumps in the road.
my extractors have a nice crack in the join to the cat, sounds like a f**k farm tractor
i tried to slop a blob of Maniseal on it to try stop it, but it lasted about 10 minutes before coming off and sounding like a John Deere again
is there any way of strengthening all the joins on my exhaust so when i bottom out it dosent tear all the welds?

get the exhaust hung higher if possible, get better shocks/struts.
your car doesnt look low enough that you would have issues like this |
