Finially got some money in the bank. Not sure what to do to the car next
I've got about $1k
So far i've got the following:
**1995 Series II EF Futura Sedan**
* 3" mandrel bent CAI with pod filter (No airbox on it and its not seperated from the engine bay)
* 2 1/2" Geni Sports Exhaust from the cat back
* Pacemaker Headers
* Crow Stage 2 Cam
* Been lowered
* Done the stereo
* DBA Slotted Rotors (FRONT ONLY)
My Question is what should i do next
Should I.......
* Change the diff ratio from standard futura (3.23 i think) single spinner to a 3.45 LSD diff
* Finish off the intake system by buying the airbox, some XR6 grills/fordmods scoops (Not sure what one yet) and connect the lot up and put the pod filter into the airbox so it gets cold air not hot air off the engine
* Do the climate control mod now that i have the climate control unit
* Convert the car to manual
* Chip it
* OTHER??
Any opions/suggestions?
I'd love the car to go faster or a new gadget to play with inside the car
but i just cant make up my mind what to go for
What do you guys think? one of the above or something else?
Cheers
Adam

Well, for me, the first priority would be the stereo but since your content with that, then I'd say convert to manual. Would be the single most noticable power gain modification you could do from what you got listed, but may end up goin a little over your budget...
What wheels do you have on the car at the moment? If you have stock wheels I would get a set of mags. If you're happy with the current rims, then I would put the money towards a manual conversion.
Location: gold coast and off playing with 32psi of boost pumping into 4.1lt of pure ohc feralness and developing a 350hp n/a kit for ea-au i6, also making 5.0lt gear soon enuf

Re: I've got some money.. Whats Next
i'd change the diff, and with the money left over i'd finish of the cai set up,
then do a 5 spd conversion.
cheers.joe.

I'd do the manual conversion :) big bloody difference this way when you do the diff you get even more out of it and you get a double whamy smile :)

There is a war inside my head, if I take a day off I'll die!
This cat, is cat, a cat, good cat, way cat, to cat, keep cat, a cat, idiot cat, busy cat, for cat, 20 cat, seconds cat! Now read it all without the word cat!
A diff change now might bring out the benefits of all your other mods, but a manual now then a diff change will leave you smiling like.....well....you'll be happy.
you could also look into some porting to suit that cam/exhaust combo?
ok,,well it all depends..do you want looks or peformance? Thats the first issue.
If I was you Id be getting new rims if you still have stockies.
And then while your at it get rid of the 3' zorst and get a smaller one as from what ive heard 3' is overkill and you dont get out as much power of say a 2 3/4'. Something about loosing back pressure. Just what ive heard anyway.
either way your not going to go wrong.
