Newbie EL xr6 96..

Hey I'm a newbie just searching the net for forums and this looked like a good palce to pike it.
I Brought myself an EL xr6 about 6 months ago for $7,800 that had 183,000 on the clock now it's up to 207,000... Rather annoying.
Anyway I got a few photo's from when i brought it since i've had the front end resprayed and you'll see why in the photo's and i have EL GT 17s ordered for next week so i'll wait to put the new phots up.
Mods include Pacemaker extractors and a 2.5 inch cat back exhaust, K&N panel filter, Lowered King springs with New GT Monroe sports shocks which are not all here made out to be. With a full car it feels like your going across ibassstraight in a 10 foot dinghy it's not a pleasent feeling.. Also has an Illegal window tint and some extras but i'll add the rest next post.


As you can see the defference to a stock xr I've also tinted the tail lights

Can see the stone chips.. plus a dent adfter it was taken from a rude friends mum who can't drive.

Yeah i'm planning on manualising it but can't make up my mind. I went and got a loan to do all this stuff but i sorta just went blank and had no idea what i wanted to do with all my cash. Looking through the forums is already giving me ideas which could be a bad thing lol and yeah i'm from just outa Ballarat where is the cruise going to be?

Manual for shiz. There's no other mod with that much bang for your buck.

Could be a bit of a hike, starts in Ringwood and will probably be heading down the Peninsula but its worth the drive now and then. Hopefully the weathers mint and there will be some decent cars out :)

Check the events thread for more details...
