Last round of mods were a new design factory rpm stall converter and 4" intake+retune.
Third gear at 100kmh/r then WOT now equals wheelspin quite easily when pulling onto the southern expressway from the tuners. 255/40/18 Invos and took me by surprise quite somewhat that day lol. Car is now slower on the street due to traction than previous 3" intake tune I recon but economy is way better due to my new converter/tune. Putting an AU HP motor in my EL was a rather good drive after then conversion. Lights up the tires off idle now and tows allot smoother/easier. Boost is ramped in allot harder for 1/4 mile work with the slicks.

Did you........ Have them installed as they were missing from the factory? Have them removed in an effort to save weight and be able to keep up with Fords ? Have them replaced as they were stuffed trying to keep up with Fords ? Have the ratio changed so you can keep up with Fords at the lights (but limiting your top speed to 90kmh due to the ratio)

First car. Bare metal respray 2 months old. Freshly installed bored & stroked engine on webers with a flowed head, lumpy cam & lightweight flywheel. Pull up at the pedestrian crossing 2km from home. Pair of hot young women cross in front of me. I give it a rev, they look at me. I grin (long hair, Nikes, acid-wash jeans & wearing mirror shades!). They grin.
Somehow I think that my life peaked 20 years ago and nothing since has felt quite so joyful and bursting with opportunity. Life was ripe for the taking. I was going to reach up, grab it by the 'nads and start twisting!

 I miss that feeling of "so I can do ANYTHING I want?". Little money, virtually no possessions but a feeling of being "free" and actually "live".
