New Project EL XR6 turbo

Postby LeighMVFC » August 13th, 2017, 10:44 pm : ea_spins Likes this post

Some of you might remember me back in about 2008 or 2009, I had the atomic green ED xr6 from the SE suburbs in Melbourne...
I got out of the e series scene at about 19 after they bought out the ED was done for an unengineered turbo. I eventually sold the car off to someone who used it as a dedicated drag car for a few years before It was stolen and not recovered.

This week, I received this EL for an absolute steal. It was sitting on a nature strip with an "any offer" sign in the window. I lowballed him and he accepted. Win win.

So here I am in the turbo e series scene again. Just thought I'd share. This forum used to be the go to place and you could normally get an answer in a matter of seconds for What ever crazy shit you wrote on here. Hope it's still that way.

Photos of sister haha. Small world ay. Barra swaps seem so easy with all the Barra swap it stuff on fb.

In saying that, those motors can handle quite a bit.
