* Billet Cam (specs to be disclosed at a later date)
* HD valve springs
* J3 tuning on E85/98 fuel
* 3" mandrel exhaust with 100cpsi hi flow cat
* Modified collector on 4480's to suit 3" cat
* 2400rpm hi stall

This will be the last of my power mods, unless I strike it lucky and inherit stupid amounts of cash. lol

After the above is done, buy a more modern daily car and use the AU as a weekender.

- finally fit chrome inner door handles
- tinted windows
- new tyres
- upgrade diff to a 3.45 LSD (so I can easily get a speedo transducer so the speedo reads correctly!)
- Whiteline 27mm front swaybar
- cam upgrade (doubtful)
- custom tune (only if EVERYTHING above has already happened)

Apart from that, just keep it clean and enjoy!

2. finally get my futura grill resprayed
3. fit an xr rear spoiler
4. get a new exhaust tip, the rusty one is starting to ruin the looks.
5. clarion 5x7's, hard to find at a reasonable price.
6. fit leather fairmont seats.
apart from that relatively small and cheap list, no major plans till i get my full license.

Just getting the TE back on the road would be fantastic start.

As for the Ghia window tints, bigger brakes and seriously thinking boost.

I think Whoosha should go for the TS body kit... cause we all know how bad he wants a T series and that might be as close as Mrs Whoosha will let you to having one
