hey all, my name is callum,
im a 4th year mechanic, working at Nissan.
im from melbourne and still on red P's

i bought my ba xr6 5 speed about 6 months ago after stacking my 3lt vl. and since then have fallen in love with the xr :D
i bought the xr stock, and since then i have lowered many times. at the moment i have ssl in the front and i think compressed sl in the rear which are much lower than the ssl i had. i have a 2 1/2 cat back exhaust, i took the spoiler of to give it a cleaner look, and have also put venetians in.

next for the xr im hoping to put a new diff in, with lsd centre with either 3:9's or 4:11's, still undecided, then i plan to put a rip shifter in and also a tune to get it running good. and then after that plan to put new wheels, get the spoiler holes on the boot smoothed over and put a lip spoiler.

let me know what you think,
cheers callum.

looks neat.

I wouldn't go ripshifter. They break pretty easy. Go an MGW. Sick reviews from the Mustang boys over in the U.S and Rollin won't shut up about em either :P

Most people with 5 speeds go 3.7's or 3.9's.

4.11's would be ok if it was auto,

I reckon it looks better without walls,
But doesn't look terrible with them

Re: hey guys im new on here :)

yeah, the reason i got them was because the 17"s look too small on the car and got the walls to try and make them look bigger.

3.7's are pointless. 3.9's for manual, 4.11 for auto.
