Default My Car

Heya everyone, I was sick of reading what every one has done to thier cars and what they want to do thier cars and me wanting to do it aswell but never getting around to it. Being a diesel mechanic, i spend 6 days a week working on trucks, tractors and cars and by the time i get home i just cant be bothered or even have the time to work on mine. Well i changed that the other day, i said stuff it why not. So that day i ordered some parts i knew i could get that day and as soon as i got home i got stuck into it. I detailed my car inside, outside and in the engine bay, she looks sweet. The parts i got were only au3 side repeaters and an intake snorkel, things that are cheap and easy to install...... well at least i thought, the repeaters were easy, but the snorkel on the other hand, turns out they don't fit without having the thermo fans. The snorkel fouls on the fan shroud and even if i cut the shroud the fan will probably tear it to shreds, so that will have to wait till i get the thermo fan fan conversion(spewin).

About the car:
- 91 Eb xr8
- body kit
- Clear front indicators
- au3 side repeaters
- au xr snorkel (yet to be fitted)
- cat back 2.5 inch exhaust (extractors on the way)
- standard xr 's' pack rims ( i love em, if only they were bigger)

I painted the engine cover which was nowhere as easy as i thought, but other than that its pretty well standard. Any way here are some pics of it. What do ya think.

Tidy looking car.

The snorkel of choice if you run a clutch fan is the XH snorkel. I have one on my car. Doesn't do much, just looks nicer

To all who install their AU3 repeaters the wrong way, you are all impatient lazy asses! :nutsycuck It takes a few extra minutes to do some trimming, and looks much better the right way IMO. The EB looks mint though, good stuff!
