Great catch XR6Child! Manual = best! I'd say start saving firstly for some new suspension, you don't have to go overboard if you are on a budget - the standard Tickford items will do nicely (there is a great bloke for top deals on Ford stuff on the forums here). Another little change that makes a great difference is the gear knob and shifter height. Get your hands on either a short shift kit ($399 from memory) or even just an AU2 Momo XR knob ($110 or so). The little touches all add up!
Very clean, get out a hack saw and then slide on a momo gear knob, no need in spending $400 to get a shorter stick, when a metal blade can do the same job
Hey thanks Guys, all your ideas are bieng considered and a Budget is already in the making After 5 days!! :lol
Everything that has been said will be done!! I would first like to know how much lowering will cost as the car is like 3 inches off the wheels!! A bit high indeed.....
The ride height alone means when I get out of the car people on first glance assume its my mums car lol so how much would a lowering kit cost as its important.
Wow What an unbeleivably freaky small world it is ea? So you've actually driven it? small world indeed! At least you can vouch for me when I say how clean it is. You make me feel like a B@stard for taking her from you.
If you See the man who owned her, give him my congratulations, as the car is a credit to him. I have had more than 5 people refuse to beleive that the car is actually 8 years old and not brand spankers......
It is really the cleanest used car I have seen... Very happy!
As for the noble Rob.... I hope we can do some business in future
Thanks again guys,

Sweet dude,
Futura has a few dents on the passenger side but they are all fixable!
Enjoy the ghia! you have a TICKFORD engine... You are one step ahead of me..... hahaha
Straight as mate!, very tidy, wish mine was a top example like that.
Your car's pretty similar to mine to mate (even the manual :hy
Here's how much my lowering cost and what I got to help you out:
Short Shock KYB's all round
King Superlows
Castor and Camber Kit
Wheel Alignment
All up it cost $1,100 which I thought was pretty sweet.
She handles awesome (thumbs down to floaty family falcon suspension hehe) and looks WICKED.
All I can say mate, is: DO IT! :hy:
You wont regret it hey.
Cheers bud.

My brother managed to find a GLi manual in the EF and it really pulled strong, although you should also consider very very strongly about putting a LSD in her. How many kays does she have.
Good Buy
Your car would definately out drag EA's...... ha ha
Another couple of things you could do as well would be to go and buy a new over flow bottle and also the XR/GT snorkel, both of these are relatively cheap, of coarse you have to add the mandatory filter....
whats an overflow bottle? Excuse the igorance. I want an LSD as well, how much would one cost?
It needs the go fast bits quick as yes it might oudrag a EA but yeah not much else haha
I dont like driving her Like an idiot, I just want to know the power is there if ever i WANT, not NEED it, you know, for showing off, not dragging every moron in his riced up jap mobile. I'm not that sorta P plater......
