geez thats tight! my ex's old mans got a nice blue XR8 extractors and exhaust sound beasty as!! very nice though

the white looks hot.
very nice car!

Hmm great car indeed, heaps fo potential... Youre right, i dont like the taillights either Brendan!

Friend has a mick webb enhanced el fairmont ghia, it has a huge cam in it, its the only thing that wasnt specified on the original svo mod sheet/receipt so we dont know what it is. Did yours get the alloy GT40p heads as well?

nah mate stock heads.. mine has a huge cam in it its real lumpy n revy. the car is how i bought so i wanna try get a list of stuff done (somehow). did the 200kw engines come with rollers as standard? n solids? my extractors r HM headers im thinkin of gettin a new exhaust tho i wanna go twin but not have them either side of the bumper i want them 2 run along side eachother. does any1 know if they sound good with twins??

thought bout it mate lol but takin the easy way..
if i could find a kit 4 it i prolly would. thats y i wanna go charger coz they come in a kit already

Nice work the the beast...

I reckon the XR fronts on au's look awesome, but all my mates seem to think differently...

Cant wait to see it charged!

IIRC the Auto XR8's ran a 3.45:1 ratio aswell as the manuals, ditch the Auto, get a manual box in it.

Fit the Series 2 lights and she'll be pretty sweet, the only kit to have on the AU apart from the stock is the XR50 kit, im looking at an XR50 kit with out a wing at all and a BA buldge, i reckon that would look pretty sweet on yours.

Tempe Tyres do 19x8 fronts and 19x10 rears for the AU in a jap street racer style (split 5 spoke, lightweght rims) would look tough as nails with those wheels btw, i think they are Tenzo rims

Very nice car, sounded tough when you came round. I'm indifferent on the rear lights, i dont think they look "awesome" but i also don't think they look bad either. And remember priorities, first charge then wheels and stereo . Hopefully you wont get bored of this one

lol yeah steve ill keep it 4 a while..well i just heard from the bank 2day n im gettin the money so wheels and stereo b done in the next week.. i also wanna get the exhaust done 2. i wanna go twin right threw..
yeah the tail lights have grown on me a lill bit. pitty ure wheels arent AU offsett ay steve?????? jokes... hahaha

photoshop of wat its gonna look like.. thanks 2 steve (rmyers)

HELL YEH!! thats goona be awesome!

It's certainly going to look good once it's done! Can't wait!

here's a perfect example of why I want black 20's on mine..... pimpin

just thought id update i pick up my daily next week n then the xr is being pulled off the road. its goin 2 my mate panel shop n its getting painted. its not going the colour of the photoshop pic on here ive changed my mind. im getting it done white again but we r putting a gold and reed flake in it. then im getting it lowered n the gauges done. my car will prolly b gone 4 bout 6 months so ill keep u all posted with progress pics n info. im hoping 4 the charger by christmms 2. so yeah thats the plans as of now. they start next weekend.

cheers
brendan

cheers guys
brendan

hey guys the car goes in 2 get painted next week. so it will b gone 4 a lill while. but im thinkin bout sellin it after its painted. its getting done white with a gold n red metal flake in it. so does any1 know a ruff figure on wat its gonna b wortth???? its getting lowered aswell

if you're going to sell it, don't get it painted, its not worth it.
either keep it and do what you wanna do to it, or sell it as it is, or even put stock wheels on it and sell the 20's seperate.

Unless youre getting a free paint job and ultra cheap suspension keep it standard.
Sometimes a new paint job away from a standard paint will actually detract from value.

yes it is gettin painted 4 free a mate of mine has his own panel shop. ive decided 2 keep it now.. after a long hard think bout it its 2 hard 2 part with it...

cheers
brendan

now on ba gtps.. 20z gone








hey guys as u can c the 20z r gne.. i had 2 take em off coz they were doin damage n i didnt even lower the car yet so now this is how its sits.. ill get some better pics when i get it back..

sweet car

i sooooo want those rims!

update n new pics guys... the car isnt 4 sale anymore.. id miss it 2 much.

the car now has a new auto with a 2800 stall. makes such a huge differance. new diff n i have now bought the paint 4 it. im just lookin 4 a BA XR8 buldge 4 it now n a fairmont lip 4 the boot. the rear spoiler is comin off. the paint i got is lexus pearl white. has ble n red n another colour in it. i also have a metal flake goin threw it 2..

heres some pics i took few weeks ag

heres some updates on the xr it now has a 3k stall 3.9s n n back on 20z heres som epics of it atm

looks pretty good what springs are in it mate?
i liked the black 20's better but still looks good.
cheers josh.

the springs r the tickford 1s mate just stok atm.. im lookin 4 a set of lowered springs..

i liked the black 1s 2 but i dunno i like the chrome better

cheers
brendan

once its dumped and has no wing the chrome wheels will look better than the black ones did. i normally like black wheels with polished/chrome lip but the chrome ring in the middle of them looked kinda wierd...

some pics i took yesterday

Doesnt look like you can keep the same set of wheels on it for too long mate?
