Hey All... thought id add my au to the "garage"
so this is it when i brought it around July 07 completely stock company car with 185,000kms... not the greatest... but it has a full service history and a 5 speed, condition of the car was excellent...   First few things i did are - Tinted the Tail Lights (only the red part) - 2.5" redback catback exhaust - Alpine MP3, Ipod Head Unit - Alpine Type-R 5 1/2" Splits  a few months later i brought some second hand BF XR 17" mags...  also brought a jaycar response amp and got my old sub of a mate thats got newones... and started a boot install  didn't do much for a while had no money because i had to get a new diff... so all i did was: - spray the grill and black inserts of the front bar a light silver - made some eyelids - brought some new center caps - removed mudflaps - remover drivers side wind shield thing...   took it up 2 Heathcote raceway a few months ago and got a 15.96 @ 88.46... the car could do better as it was my first time dragging... great fun... i feel allot more comfortable knowing what my car can and cant do know... will be looking at extractors and CAI the a Capa tune soonish... just sprayed the engine rocker cover... brighten up the engine bay... looking for a ef P/S overflow now...

lovin the tail lights! looks much better than those s**t aftermarket AU ones.
edit: infact, i reckon they wouldve been a hit if they were released on something like the AU3 XR8 220 or T3 T-Series.

I'd reconsider this... seeing as its like a cm difference for $200, just get the XR6T snorkel. |

Love the subtle exterior mods, really makes it look "sleek" IMHO
(I.E. "factory ford" wheels, factory tail lights/front grill slighty modded)
