Boosted Falcon

gday, I'm Andrew ,17 i work as a crusher operator in sydney, I own a nice looking el xr6 with 196xxxks, but as you guess im on my red P'z so cant boost so motor all stock, same for gear box stock (auto), & diff stock,DBA slotters all round, 2 n half red back cat back, limo window tint, i have just ordered a 2g sound system all PIONEER lowered but last owner did it and i want to go a little lower but dont no if super low is any lower then mine???? and i got 19" wheels with 235 on, if i go lower will i have to roll goards? if you think it needs anything to make it look a bit better let me no. (IM YOUNG BUT I DONT HAVE STICKERS OR NEONS) and i dont plan on getting them, here is a cuple of pictures but a little old now will get some now ones soon hope u like it

Sweet looking car! Those rims look damn sexy.
Does it still have the spoiler??

nice looking XR you got there champ.... love those rims

yeah still got the spoiler on, if it goes lower i mite take it off or i mite put the bigger xr8 spoiler on, still thinking what do there. thanks for feedback guys,

Mate that looks mickymouse . Youd have to get under the car and see whats stamped on the springs to determine what they are, too me they look like 'lows'. Im probably wrong. Im running 18 x 235/40's with King Superlows and it only scrubs in the back if I got 3 mates in the back and I hit a decent bump.. not that I can see any tyre then either. It would also depend on what offset your wheels were. If I lived in sydney, I wouldnt hesitate to get ultralows myself as I assume the roads are decent, up here they are up and down like a dogs breakfest.

Sweet car for a 17yr old , toss the spoiler (spoiler: the name says it all) and buy some boot plugs from autobahn.

or just get another spoiler-less bootlid and spray to match....

Yeah or that.. if youve got the money to throw around, definitly a better result

sweet xr there mate. where abouts in sydney are ya?

Very nice. Not usually a fan of those rims but they look the goods on your EL. I'd say you've got superlows already, so maybe think of every possible place you drive before lowering it more. I didn't, and my fairly new exhaust is gonna get a hole in it eventually.

Very nice car! When I was 17 I had a yellow XE 200ci on gas

I reckon they're King superlow height as well, bigger rims generally make a car look like it's sitting higher. An easy way to check is to measure from the guard to the centre of the wheel, King say their superlows will sit somewhere between 330 and 350mm.

Looks great, just needs a bit of attention on the red stripes to brighten em up a bit.

Looks pretty low from those pics, id have to agree Todd and Aaron and have a guess at em being superlows. Great looking car you got. Lucky you getting to be on your Ps at 17!!

Looks really nice mate, good pick up. EF/EL XR's look awesome, not biast or anything...

Can this actually vary between cars tho? My brother has a NL fairlane with same springs, same size wheels as me, slightly lower profile tyre but mine sits way lower

Yes it varies a lot, no idea why, and King say there is no problem. But I remember when a mate swapped SL's from his EA into his EL, and the EL sat a good 30mm higher, even though the EL is over 100kg heavier. It's been well documented in the past on here that they vary a fair bit in height, especially Superlows it seems.

Tyre profile and rim size have nothing to do with the guard to hub measurement, which is why it's the best method to measure a cars ride height.

Yeah I realize that the profile and rim dont change that, but they do affect the tyre to guard. Thanks mate.

thanks guys, ill have to get out and measure it up, i live in Allawah which is near hurstville, the red strip is a lot brighter now that picture is be for i gave it a bit of love, looks better now days,
t1MMy i love ur xr looks hot i'd swop mine for it anyday

looks tops mate. i reckon a few nice mods like get some pacemaker extractors, hi flow cat to finish off your exhaust, then a nice subtle cam will have a good smile on your face.

SgtBourne thats what i'd like to do but, i dont know where i would find a good cam,

Nice looking ride mate.

you said you touched up the red stripes...what exactly did you do? were they rough to touch and a pinky color?

gday mine was rough and had light cracks i got it cut back then put some oil shit on it that socked into it & thats it back to normal a nice red, ill clean the car up 2day and take some picture to show.

Gday, mate those wheels look amazing! The car looks awesome all over too. Well done, have you done the mods yourself or purchased itlike that? Definately looks the goods anyway.

nah i did all mods besides lowering it, that was already done i was going to give yous a new picture of it but ill wait as last night i ummm.. smashed the front bra up so i got the get new one but i was already looking at doing it because 1 clip was broken, & had a million stone chips

wade cams to regrind cams and are extremely popular. if you visit fordmods.com they are a sponsor there so you can get all the info you want on them.

also, cresent motorsport. There another sponsor on fordmods aswell. They are located in liverpool and have some good options for cams for e-series.

Mate, did you measure your springs yet?

yeah mate i got under it and looked as well, king super low so wont lower it as i do a bit of long driving. but can i ask if i was to get a reco 5 speed m can i just go to a mechanic and ask for one? as thats what im after soon with a nice cam,?
cheers
