I know im very out spoken here but i reckon the ass looks ghey without a spoiler, just reminds me of a standard bottom of the range xt boot ... which is boring.

Plus the holes in the metal dont do much for it either.

Otherwise, VERY nice car.

i concur, personal choice, i'd prefer a wing (typhoon wing?)

otherwise, looks nice as, damn SA and their laws that allow a P-plater to drive a freaking XR6T!

enjoy it

Hey guys been a while since i did a update lol

Had my car for just over 3 months now had a few dramas like when the trans carped itself but it was covered by warranty wooop

But yer got a generic tune from Bruce Heinrich about a month ago and it made 239.5rwks then last week took it back to get a monza intercooler and PWR trans cooler installed aswell a custom tune and made 251.9rwks which im happy about :) Soon i hope to get injectors and fuel pump which are the main things holding the car back atm and maby valve springs see how we go :mrgreen:

Only other mods i have done is removed the center muffler and install 2 12" Subs for some doof doof...

i also prefer a spoiler over none, as it does look like a kitted XT, but i do love the colour.

BA's are shit with the computer mangement.. cant rev then in neutral.. some rpm cut of or something.. learnt this when i worked for thrifty lol had to do things the hard way...

ever seen a BA/BF XR6 doing circle work with literally 3k's on the clock? :lol: :cool: :drinks2:

also i hope by now you have plugged those holes up. would hate to think of how much water would be in the boot if it rained

Anyways, nice ride foylema...!
Considered a bob tail style force lip? Might look the goods? I hate tall spoilers personally but a bob might set it off nice.

And don't d-bomb or n-bomb your $20k car, it's no good for it despite what huggiebear might have tried.

That thing looks sick.

Slam it on its guts it will really set it off especially since now you don't have that gay looking spoilers they come out with. Nice power figure very impressive for a almost stock car.

Wish Vic didn't have those p plate laws but i guess a lot of clowns have spoilt it for the rest of us.
