    Default Supercharged and painted! (dial up warning)

    Thought i might give you all an update on how my project EA is going. Last time i posted she was a rolling shell in primer.

    Since then, she's been painted, 99% put back together and a new kit was slapped onto it. Still a few miscelaneous things need to be done, side skirtz, lip spoiler, front door trims, other parts of the interior and some mechanical peices just to name a few, but all in all about 1-2 days work left

    Let us know what you's think Try your best to see past the blue oval badge :P

    That looks awesome!! The colour really suits it. It's got to be one of the best looking Falcons i've seen.

    Yet to have her dynoed with the current setup, but made 188.6rwkw with an auto, smaller cooler, water injection and no haltech (therefore no way to adjust timing). Hoping for maybe the 210-220rwkw mark now, but will be happy with anything over 200

    but not a guy with a commy, i would feel for him = It wouldnt happen

    Nice ride though mate she looks nice, really shinny paint job

    Any plans on changing the steeerng wheel? looks kinda fat in my eyes..

    Is it a tickford at all? my mate has an EA isn't sure if the badges are real or not.

    The steering wheel will stay, i love the look of it. Not going for a custom look on the interior, the plan is to keep it looking factory and classy, with any alterations looking like they were meant to be there. Basically it'll just be an NL interior with black and woodgrain highlights. With the steering wheel, i will be painting the airbag cover black, so hopefully that may sway your judgment :P I should have some completed pics of the interior tomorrow so stay tuned

    As for being tickford, no EA's were tickford. Tickford was introduced in the EB's. My car has an xr6 motor in it but that's about as close to tickford as it gets...

    That is one tough Falcoon you have there mate, I am a huge fan. Alot of hard work and dedication has gone into this one and regardless of the make of car, its what car modification is all about. Well done!

    Nicest falcon Ive seen, Front looks tough, I'm not keen on the boxy shape of the back of those falcons though, Im sure its got plenty of balls though, GT bonnet looks sick, color looks awesome and matches rims and looks sick with the bonnet open n stuff. Nice work
