first drive

[nicko]

Hi,took my FE for my first drive today,down to rego dept and drove it home with new plates (444-HUI)so well behaved,im stoked,went out for another drive tonight and first mishap,the rear exhaust hanger broke and i noticed the rear diff is making a whine so may need another centre or even just a wheel bearing.
but all that aside it was great fun and even got a few people calling out good comments

[HARKO]

Did you use that trim Nicko ? Ill do a search to find out some more about your ride .
Congradulations mate - theres not much that matches the feeling huh !

[robbzfc58]

No Harko,its that clean inside that im seriously considering using all the front part of interior in my Ute,and no Trevor im using the cylinders in the Ute, did over 40miles in it today and will change diff ratio to either 3.36 or 3.55 as it has plenty of power but revs too high for my liking on road.they are interchangeable centres arn't they?

[nicko]

now those wheels hmmmm :-/

Good one Nicko,
Looks real sweet, and its a real buzz the first time you take it out for a run.
I went to a 3.55 for the same reason as yourself, tried the 3.36 but went back to the 3,55

thanks for your nice comments but i didn't do bodywork,apparently Slim or one of his mates did,but it still feels good to have such a good start

Wow! neat ride,   :)
this is almost identicle in colour to my FJ! will update you on the engine dress up bits after the 19TH June as well, keep up the piccies.
What colour is the trim in this one?
Matt

[nicko]

looking forward to your answer Matt, color of trim is light blue and grey doortrims and seats are llightblue and grey white (might change with a scrub)lol ::)

If the car is Teal Blue over Elk Blue, (identical to Graham Fuller's, Andrew Barbara's cars in our club, amongst others), then the interior will be "Summit Blue and Cosmos Grey".  Summit Blue has an almost metallic sheen to it, and Cosmos Grey is more like an off-white.  My car (single-tone Elk Blue) has the same interior.

Happy Motoring.

cheers
