Default HI:D-new member

hello

i'm new to this forums so if this is in the wrong section forgive me.

anyways

my name is john and i own a blue mist EA S pac its a great car got it for 1000K on road i think that's a good buy, its going to need a respray as the paint is house but you get that.

its factory 5 speed, 2.77 LSD (Which is tight as) and 240.000K's on the clock

anyways i just wanted to see some pics of other blue mist EA spacs if theres any done up ones on hear need some ideas for mine.

atm i haven't done much as lack of cash is the standing issue but its on custom SL's, black stockies, and cat back zorst...so not much yet:(

i want too keep it fairly well stock looking as id like to boost it down the track (not any time soon) and don't want allot of attention.

and thats my story's so any pic's please post up.

thanks...

p.s sorry no pic's of mine as its to worthy and i lack a cam.

2.77? Are you sure it's not a 2.92?

Sounds like a great buy, looking forward to the pics!

yes custom means cut with an angle grinder, i thought it was a pretty universal way of referring to cut spring.

yes its definitely a 2.77LSD as i jumped under it when i was changing the springs over.

pretty sure 2.92's came out it later model or higher series EA's, mines a 88 and just an S pac to my knowledge.

cheers for the comments.

This is unfortunate, act up and get benned. BS not tollerated.

John welcome to the forums, you appear to have got yourself a nice car. Great potential. I hope to meet you at the next meet. Introduce you to other Mod's and members.
