miled her but when the supercharger is fitted she will be!
|
| I bought the car only 4 weeks ago as a stock futura, it was a ‘blue care nurse’ company car!! Score!! I wanted something different to what I was seeing on nearly every road…XR6’s XR8’s and XT’s, so I got myself the futura which has got pretty much everything that you get in a Fairmont. |
|
|
I was always going to put 19” or 20” wheels on her but decided to go the 19”’s for economical reasons (20” tyres are around 500 buck a pop!!). |
| The sound system was always going to be big and custom, thanks to the boys at Redcliffe Northfield! Although we’re only half way there with the stereo! |
|
|
Two more amps are coming, 2 sets of R-Type splits, dvd player and 7 inch screen, custom doors and parcel shelf, then maybe some more speakers in the boot with a 15” screen on the boot lid. |
| The stock xr6 spoiler wasn’t going to cut it, as the feet are attached to the wing as separate pieces so I got my old mate Russell to fix a one piece jobbie to her. |
|
|
NIZPRO are going to be looking after the go fast side of things with a supercharger and intercooler package which should see her hitting close to 400kw!! Sweeeeeet!! HO are supplying me with a body kit like no other!! SO WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!!! |
My last ride was an EF Gli with 16” alloys, lowered with another huge alpine/clarion stereo, no wing, which I reckon looks best on a stocker. All I did mechanically was an air filter, full race spec exhaust as seen in the old tourers class (EA-EL vs VN-VS), which sounded fully sick! She also had tinted windows and a tow bar!!My old man and I are also looking at restoring either a 66-67 mustang as an ‘Eleanor’ or just a tuff as nails Mach3 Mustang! So if you know of some cheap ones going plz let us know!!!
Thanks! Dave Day.
