Hey guys well ive had my 98 el xr6 since feb and am just loving it but from the start of last week i have started making improvments to it
At the moment it has -factory 5 speed -factory tickford body kit -factory sound system with 6 stacker pretty much every is factory lol I am without my car for the next week due to a Ba xr6 turbo engine conversion going into it ![]() ![]() ![]() This is what she looks like ![]() ![]() When my car is back from the shop with the new engine in it i am buying a $1500 big brake upgrade for the front which includes 330mm rotors bigger calipers, whole different brake setup. future plans are -lowered gt monroe sport shocks all round -18 inch bf cobra copies -3inch full exhaust -double din head deck -german meastro sound system (best sound system ![]() -twin 12 inch rockford fosgate subs -change the colour of the interior which i have prototypes already made up and that should do it.

Very nice car mate, should hammer with the XR6T engine. Just with the brake upgrade, i think you might need 17" wheels minimum.

just recieved my el xr8 style spoiler today
![]() ![]() Not bad for $220 primed and delivered to my door. she is coming along very well... Before my car went for the engine conversion i did the blue led cluster conversion and that didnt work out so good.....my leds blew up and all sorts so i put the standard one back in lol....but am now thinking of buying a nl cluster or making a custom cluster using red drift gauges but we will see.

haha yeh anthony ill take ya for a spin...literaly lol nah dnt wanna attract attention but yeh will do.
yeah she is gonna absolutely go like a greased pig with the barra 240t in it cause he has to do a dyno tune aswell and bruce said it should make around 240-250 at the wheels ![]() yeh only need 17 inch rims for the brake upgrade but i work at bob janes so i can get the 18's cheaper plus i can put wider tyres on it to make it stick......untill i get the rims i was thinking about getting some kumho ku36 semi slicks...they are $220 each in the 225/50/16's.
