Welcome to the forums and e-series.

The EF looks nice, what kind of wheels are they? Can't say I've ever seen them before...

Any other mods on the EF?

CTW, very rare, they apparently were imported by the previous owner, not sure from where. just the exhaust at present, but the sound system is coming, be spending about 2k on it.

Certainly looks good from here. I reckon those rims would look alright on a Ghia or LWB though, but if your happy thats good; also having something different is a bonus.

Welcome! I'm with stupid here (:P), love the rims but I think they'd look better on a luxo variant or if the XR6 had a different paintjob. But it's your car and your choice.

Looking forward to seeing your EF at a future cruise

now i got a lighter clutch in there and feel so much better about it

Nice pick up............

The thought is there, believe me. Will see how it goes, the dealer replaced the clutch cable prior to me buying so lets just see, and will be going on saturday night so might see you there.
