Long story short... I had a silly accident in my Gold fairmont... hit a stump surrounded by grass in an alley way next to where i lived to, so i bought this one.... $1200 regd... ( STILL A RIP OFF) ended up quite a s**t!
So far ive done... Replaced the whole interior Fitted Digital Cluster Fixed the ABS Fixed the Smartlock (wasnt starting every time) Replaced all 4 discs and Pads Replaced Upper and Lower ball joints Replaced Steering rack, Steering wheel Performance wise: 3" Exhaust 3" Cat Pacemaker 4480 3" Straight through muffler Stock Auto, Stock stall goes to 2500 on launch! - Shift kit EL Diff with 4.11 LSD -Z Bar link on diff is lower improves handling! AU XR6 Motor rebuilt, Head flowed to 360HP, Shaved/Decked to 10:1 Compression, Camtech stage 3 cam EL Fuel Injection, No tuning! ---- Yet New leads ,plugs,dizzy,rotor, EL Alloy radiator, EL thermos Exterior: Stock Sleeper style Performance: Timed 0-100 in 6.2 Seconds http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=67VxVbxzkO8 The video is not totally conclusive, the speedo is slow which is annoying and you cant tell by pausing it in the youtube vid but in windows video maker i timed 6.2 so im pretty stoked considering i havnt had it tuned. it will go to willowbank soon....
