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  , which bruce at heinrich performance and tuning is doing. That should be done by this friday or early next week. Am missing my car badly  but it is going to come back to as a completly different car .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.
