You can't get slimline in custom mix.

what do you mean they arent cheap being genuine... they are the cheapest wheels you can get for the FG model..

i remember when FG came out they were $230ish per wheel excluding centre cap.

even the 17" xr wheels were 800 odd each or something...

but for some reason the G6ET wheels were like 230ish

want me to make a call and see if they are still cheap?

when i first looked at them they were around $2k for the rim's....... a while back.
but i've got something else in mind with a staggerd offset front to back

with black/chrome & lip.... a fat lip :good:

it'll be while off anyway, still other thing's to do :roll:

Always love these on upper spec B-Series

by **pHaT`eL** » July 9th, 2010, 6:06 pm

Down here, just about everyone has them Todd, lol..

by **Bipolar** » July 9th, 2010, 6:37 pm

Ghey.

I'll remember not to move down there if I get a LWB B-Series lol.

by **LOW-LTD** » July 9th, 2010, 6:40 pm

G6E-T 19's FTW Steve!! Look horn as...

Will have too keep an eye out for it in the 'hood...

Number plate covers will give it an up-spec look... trust me ;-)

Cheers, Sethro

I'm not 100 percent sold on the 19inch G6ET wheels on a LWB. Friend has some on his dark blue Fairlane. There's too much bright alloy. But another guy has some on a slammed black BA XR and they look mint. I reckon the black wheels with some chrome dish is definatly the way to go

i'm with you on the G6ET's, and your in the ball park with the black/chrome lip idea.....
i' don't want to give to much away, as i don't want someone else get them before me

by **SLY5LT** » July 11th, 2010, 5:12 pm

a couple more pic's i done today with the good weather.

by **nstg8a** » July 11th, 2010, 5:30 pm

that looks bloody clean and straight :drinks2:

bet its a mofo to keep clean

the pic's look better than it is :lol:

the 'lane was a dark colour, so no more cleaning than i did on that

the front & back bar i'll replace due to carpark scrape's etc, and the paint need's a cut & polish for now,
before a total respray after the mechanical side of thing's are done.

i wana hear it, like mine but you have back pressure

the cat back part is the same as "MrCVEs'" system (before the turbo went on) with 2 muffler's in the stock position's, in which with a tune he got 235rwkw from memory ?

Looks good.
Mine went 13.5 with that exhaust system. So with the tune it really should wake yours up.

it feels heaps better as it is ...going from a single 2.25" system :blink:

to a twin 2.5".
i did the F6 extra snorkel mod to the air box last night along with a k&n filter.
i'll see you next saturday, and i'll chat to you about a few thing's :grin:

so i'll have to rebook it in for that section with the balance pipe.
a big thanks to barney at hallam performance for doing the system

i went in to chat to barney about a balance pipe yesterday,
only to be informed that the section he put in allready has an oval shaped balance port :oops:

....
which explains the weld's between the pipe's.

i hope to have it on the dyno before the AFF drag meet to see what gains have been made from the latest mod's.

by **KR1STO** » July 13th, 2010, 7:06 pm

ahhhh.. that makes sense...

by **burnt turtle** » July 13th, 2010, 7:11 pm

thats a standard xr8 Y piece there, mine has a section where the actual pipes touch and crossover goes for about the same length.

by **SLY5LT** » July 13th, 2010, 11:52 pm

i've no idea :blink:

just going on what barney told me, i'll have to take a closer look when i do the oil change before the drag's next week.

by **burnt turtle** » July 14th, 2010, 6:22 pm

next time im under mine il take a pic and show ya the difference

by **SLY5LT** » July 17th, 2010, 2:20 pm

here's a pic of the stock 2.5" into single 2.25" system they come with that i found.
it breaths alot better with the the system now on it !

by **SLY5LT** » July 26th, 2010, 3:57 am

well with the exhaust now on & a couple of run's on the strip, i've gained .5 off my 1/4 mile pb time.
it's about where i thought it'd be, minus the wheel spin & limter hit issue's on a couple of pass's, it should go a tad quicker ? but are very happy with how it go's on a daily basis & have gained some extra km's per ltr per tank.
with a tune i'm sure it'll run alot sweeter on & off the track.

by **LOW_XR** » July 26th, 2010, 7:27 pm

what ya run down the 1/4 steve?

by **SLY5LT** » July 26th, 2010, 8:16 pm

of the 7 run's i did, the cleanest and best run was the third run with a 14.48@99.65mph.
like josh (a fellow single spinner) it spun of the line a couple of time's,
and on a couple i late shifted and hit the limiter :oops:

i feel it could go 1 or 2 tenth's quicker ?
but it's where i thought it'd be, being it still has the stock tune.
i'll be running the steelie's at calder, so i dont expect the time's to drop....
i'll just be looking at working on my reaction time's and gear change's :geek:

by **KR1STO** » July 26th, 2010, 8:20 pm

what diff gear ratio is in it mate...?

by **SLY5LT** » July 26th, 2010, 8:33 pm

stock 3.23, that's the next upgrade i'll be doing....lsd & gear's :cool:

by **KR1STO** » July 26th, 2010, 8:35 pm

that'd be a great upgrade..
I'm thinking 3.7's or 3.9's for mine..
What you gonna go..?

by **LOW_XR** » July 26th, 2010, 8:58 pm

4.11's. you know you want to :cool:

i'm thinking i'd go for a stock ford gear, i think 3.7's are in F6's or terrie's ? prob's go with them :grin:

i'll suss it out more when i'm ready to do the upgrade.

by **BROCKYB8** » July 26th, 2010, 9:09 pm

car sounds nice definatly mate. Was good that we had a few drags together on weekend .
Too bad u lost again

its not 4-0 lol .

But seriously lsd this and maybe gears and tune and it should easily sneak into the 13's i think :drinks2:

.
Was great having chats with you at the drags definatly was great time by the members that were there

4-0

i raced you twice, and almost had you on one run.... due to your....ummm.....good gear change's

it's all good :glare:

we'll see what happens down the track :cool:

i'll say it again, it was a top day had by all..... bring on the dvd :drinks2:

by **Parfrey** » July 26th, 2010, 9:21 pm

not a bad time for the big unit!
atleast having 3.23 diff gears you should notice a good improvement going to 3.7s. they came out in 6 speed manual cars.. does yours run the small xr6 spec diff or the xr8/turbo diff?
Also you can't put 3.9s in BA's for some stupid reason

by **SLY5LT** » July 26th, 2010, 9:38 pm

i'm not sure about what diff's in it, i just had a peak under it see what the ratio it has.

by **BROCKYB8** » July 26th, 2010, 9:43 pm

ok well 2-0 it is then .

lol i missed a gear and still beat u tho

the slip's from the "two" run's......sctotty is marked in pink

the second run i was starving for fuel (almost empty) so the et & mph were done :beee:

by **SLY5LT** » July 27th, 2010, 6:50 am

and the slip from my best run, which was against a bf cobra r-spec.

by **stevo** » July 27th, 2010, 8:47 am

Good times mate. Not bad mph either!
