[donno]

My car won't go there with over 1/2 a tank and an exhaust

[purped]

nice cars love the look of the xr8 mate

[wicksy]

thanx the xr8 has had it hard, hit a kangaroo outside roma, hit a couple rabbts, and also a dog which split the front lip, dog got up and sprinted off again lol, i just put a new clutch kit in last week, and **** it lights the 18s up now i love it haha, just gotta track down some cheap lower springs for the arse end shortly after bills are payed, then go to RDP for a tune

[wicksy]

couple new pics of the ghia, hit a roo but luckily it was the small one and it still stood 6foot, went about 20ft in air, couple flips, and nearly hit it again when it cam down!




god bless insurance, lucky it wasnt my car though

Sweet cars mate, xr8 looks so tough! I'll look out for it whenever Im up in Mackaytown.

[wicksy]

how often do ya come up mate

[Dumpsta]

Prob 3 or 4x a year to catch up with some mates.

ok here aer some new pics of the XR8, got it lowered over the weekend, the fronts need to settle, i put SL all round, due to the amount of highway driving i do on these shitty central qld roads, also got slotted rotors all round aswell, just gotta fit the back ones, but i got a annoying gridning/crunching sound coming from the front left hand side of the car, was there before we lowered it and its still there oh yeah tinted the tail lights and side repeaters aswell, i wont take inside pics coz it looks like a tip at the moment.

[Bipolar]

Looks tuff with tinted lights. Can you even see anything through them though??

[edfairmont4.0]

That EF looks hot.. tinted lights plus the colour and rims PERFECT! although some darker tint would look better

[Dumpsta]

Mate, I love it!! Taillights look mint, why would anyone get altezza's over tinted? Except for the fact you may get pinged by the cops, tho Ive had a few cops following me and they've never bothered me, tho I dont think mine are quite as dark as yours. Still going with the Raptor?

[wicksy]

the lights are still fairly bright, i was suprised, mine arent dark compared to half the ones around here, will try to get some night pics of them, thanks for the comments, up close its a little worse haha, the roof is fucked, clear has come off the nosecone, side skirts and back bumper, motor plans i am not too sure ay, raptor is a no go due to my wedding in may lol, yeah the tint is 35% i want 18% all around one day or the green tint, got a spoilerless boot lined up for it aswell, being a daily and the car we do all the travelling it, it has had a hard live, already hit one roo in it, a couple owls, a dog( it got up and sprinted off).
Racked up over 5000km in a matter of 6 weeks at one stage

[wicksy]

well all plans with the XR8 have come to a complete stop, i am selling it after the baby is born as its shitting me up the wall, got a offer for $3500 from my fiances cousin, who will strip it and put all the good shit onto a XH ute, and hopefully sold the mags for $700

so we will only have the fairmont ghia until april next year then sell that one too, getting a 100series cruiser for $20k, deal is that we pay off whats remaining on the lease, seeing these cars go for $35k 2nd hand we are def taking it up,
