Iliov's 2010 FG XR6-T [UU-666]

Hi Guys,

Been on the site a few years now. Learnt heaps of valuable things. My first car was an EF XR6, in Hot Chilly Red (I think thats what the colour is called.) Second car was given to me by my grandparents because they upgraded. So when I was still 18 I sold my XR and was given a series 2 EF Fairmont Ghia by them. Drove that car Up untill half way though 2010 and sold it. Then was just driving my mums car while I saved a bit more.

Anyway last friday I picked up my new pride and Joy. 2010 Demo XR6T. The car has 3000km on it, has lux pac, tech pack, side airbags, full size spare and came tinted. Already in love with her but can't legally drive her for another 3 weeks until im 21. (Still drive it here and there ;) )

I plan on changing all the stock speakers and sub. Also putting in a sunroof some coilovers and rear internal venetions. Will buy an XR8 Airbox and snorkle this week. Gonna try and do all performance mods a bit later on though as she is still obviously in warranty. Here's a photo from the day I put the deposit down. Will take some nicer photos later on.


(Oh also want a boosted falcon sticker for the rear quarter window if anyone has one)

Cheers

I plan on swapping the battery to the other side and building a custom airbox eventually so XR8 box will just be temporary.

Wow only 20 and cruising in that beauty? You must be selling smack on the side. Mint ride mate, can't wait to see where you go with this. Is it auto or manual?

That looks awesome! Black and optional 19s might be the best FG XR combo ;)

Thanks for the comments guys. Did a few mods since I last posted.

Purchased the XR8 intake and installed it today. Also got the upper boot carpet. Changed my rear speakers to JL Audio ones and Also replaced a pipe that goes from the airbox to the turbo inlet.

New plates as well.

Heres a few random photos
