Well when i've got some money to play with, i've got a long list of things I want to do haha. They also include a typhoon kit with EF Fairmont grill, all leather interior/woodgrain/chrome handles, 19" rims, some LED's of course haha, all the fairmont/fairlane electrics, probably airbags, LSD diff, and some engine performance mods, maybe a later model engine, not sure yet. Turbo after I get off my P's defiantly (y).

The list goes on forever! Haha.

sounds like you've got a plan, i would as swc said to me buy a kit that will bolt on, saves alot of work to get the rear bar to pull in and sit right for the turns,


as i need to move my tail pipe i'm thinking of cutting it and also adding a second pipe going to the other side for twin exhausts :D

doing and oil change on the car today, as kelvin and i took it for a cruise to see if the tick would go away with a bit of time, which it hasn't so we're adding an oil stablizer that helped his motor rev out cleaner, i think i have a cooling problem though cause a big puddle of coolant came out of the overflow bottle but it was stone cold considering the car had just been switched off about 5 minutes before hand

Yeah, i'll be buying a kit to bolt straight on :) And I've always thought pipes out each side would look great on the typhoon bars. You should do it and post pictures! :P

haha yeah much easier, but i haven't seen any other e series apart from my brothers ef when he was doing a gt kit with the proper sideskirts on it,

yeah my freind with his xr6 told me how to rout it i'll just have to paint the pipe black so it doesn't stand out when you look at the car, with twin tips on both sides would look good i think
