well guys. out with the old in with the new old car was sold of to geoff (mate who was at the d nong cruise

2003 Ba XR6 Turbo in Mercury Silver must say i love this colour
98,000km
5spd Manual
Sun Roof
Premium Sound
Black interior with silver stitching
Premium Brakes
Fairlane Steering Wheel
New Clutch
New Tyres
price tag - 20,000
what i talked him down 2 13,000











so its pretty much a stock standard xr6 turbo and is keeping me very happy

Then i was thinking im sorry but the windows make it look like s**t, so i had a day off work and rang around Instant Windscreens in Morrabbin got the job at 20% tint at $250.00 and could do it the same day. even let me watch him do it. great bunch of bloke really nice and will help you out as much as they can.









Also Buying the car i knew the diff had way too much back lash. The Crown wheel was to far away from the Pinion so i got some quotes and Northern Differentials on Cooper Street Cambellfield. The work they do is amazing not the cheapest but the workmanship is amazing. so the diff got a re-raced, shimmed out the lsd, and re tightened the LSD past factory specs so it can loosen up a little

Also the front pads and rotors were shot so time to replaced them dba rotors were used with Bendix c2 Pads just because they are a little less harsh on the rotors

(photos to come)

Future mods.
Short term
Capa Flash tune on 10psi (custom)
Lower the car
Rims
replace gear surround with chrome ring
replace cup holders with new ones.
figure out away to either play mp3's or burnt cd's in the 6 stacker.

Long term
Cooler
injectors, plenum, fuel pump, ect all mods to get to 250-300rwkw

hey man...


already seen ur car in the flesh as you know, and thought id say it again...

Bloody awesome buy!!! Good husseling with the price tag too!!

will see you on the highway!!

Cheers, Seth.

seth thanks for the comment mate,

will see me round the highway. just be careful round princess highway. word is they are havin a crack down round the area.

20k down to 13k, thats a great buy and its a 5 speed too

Looks nice and clean, the Fairlane wheel looks really good. First time ive ever seen one in an XR6 before

its factory fitted :- ) ive seen one other on an xr thanks for the comment there are a few little nicks in the paint work but not much u can do about that to be honest

Nice pickup Linc...I remember when you told me how much you got it for at the last cruise - couldn't believe it...I reckon you could bargain down a can of beans at Coles too

Got to love the sunroof also - I reckon it's like the icing on the cake...just don't push it too hard around a track

Instant windscreens in Moorabbain seem pretty good - not bad on pricing too

Seems a lot of ES owners are going to newer models...I could reel off nearly 10 fairly active members in the greater Ford community who have done the same thing - I guess the prices are too tempting !

Congrats again on your new ride - look after her

Cheers,
Steve

yeahhh ive seen a few. but when you have an e series like yours its pretty much the same as this with a diff body and interior yeah i loveee the sunroof so do the girls aswell

13K! well done mate!

13,000??? great buy... and with factory options of sunroof premium sound and sunroof....!!!! be gentle with that t5!!! especialy when boosted with the mods...

looks good, should give your brother a drive....

looks nice debaged too, very very good buy

hehe she is badged for a reason i cant tell u that tho orr ill get yelled at by everone lol.

Would it be anything to do with P's?

Can't argue with a pick up. not a bad talk down by that much,especially with the sunroof and sound setup. Enjoy her mate!

it didnt have much off the line but good goly it goes when the boost gets up there

i wasnt aware you got it so cheap, good job man
