Hello Guys and Girls, my name is Trent and I would like to introduce myself and my ride.
First off the rank is me. I’m 27, I was born in Melbourne and I now live in Bendigo in country VIC. I’m single with no kids (I think) and I make a crust as a property developer. Waiting for the stock market to settle a bit before I buy another house to renovate so currently living with the folks (cheaper than renting lol) enough about me time for my ride. It’s a 1994 EF Fairmont Ghia, Polynesian Green in color (code F3, thanks for the correction Brett ), it rolled out of the factory with a V8 and a sunroof which were the deciding factors when I purchased it in Feb 2003. Now time for the mods. Exterior: • 19” ANZ Velvet Chrome wheels wrapped in 245/35’s • Lowered all-round on peddlers shocks • Dark window tint • Custom painted grille • Clear side repeaters Interior: • Blue and Black leather momo wheel • Chrome interior door handles Performance: • Polished power plus intake manifold • EL GT 65mm Throttle Body • 75mm maf with 24lb sample tube • 24 lb injectors • SS inductions CAI with K&N air cleaner • BPT race underdrive set • Pacemaker’s, high flow cats, 2.25” twin system with 2 twin in twin out mufflers • Powerchip gold 98 chip • Crossdrilled and slotted front rotors • 3.73 LSD, fully adjustable shift kit Stereo: • Alpine IVA-W202E double din screen • Rockford Fosgate T162S splits X2 powered by Alpine PDX-4.100 • Alpine SWX-1243 X2 powered by 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000 • Soundstream Cap, Stinger terminals, Optima yellow top battery, 0 Gauge cabling Time for some photos, hope you like and let me know what you think

Been thinking about getting stock lights and tinting them, just not sure how to do them lol.
The grill was originaly covered in crappy black paint so i stripped it back and painted it in hyper chrome as it was realy pitted and had been damaged. heres the other pics i have of the exhaust.

Yeah i think is roughly 5.6, purchased these when in discussions with engine builder, but was a bit hasty as plans have now changed and i will be getting a 427 built in the new year so these plates will prob end up on the wall of the shed

ALS008, no sounds files as yet, once i do one and figure out how to post it will get one on here. Exhaust was done at Kangaroo Flat exhaust in Bendigo.
MICKYYYY, yeah prob looking at 30g+ to get it build and up and going properly. BTW did you run the 347 down the 1/4, if you did what times did you run?
