Steady's ED XR8 Sprint

Postby Steady » July 14th, 2007, 5:00 pm

Manwell ED XR8 Sprint
Cobalt blue
Sunroof
Cruise
Genie extractors
Steeda short shifter
Single 2.5" exhaust (shite, press bent)
King ultra rears, Lovells superlow fronts
Koni yellows all round
1/4 mile time 15.02 @ 92mph, first time at the drags in a manual too, got a 2.1 60' which I was happy with.

Pretty much stock, but its low kms, pretty good nick, it rips a good skid, and it drives nice.
Needs more power but, got some stuff in the pipeline, long way down the pipe though :lol:

Sprint gets a hektik shiftlight tomorrow, I got some gauges destined for the A-Pillar for when I can be farked, and a whole heap of shit on my bedroom floor that will see it get a build thread soon :D
Also put a Billet shortshifter in with positive stops to replace the Steeda one last weekend (cheers Dave for the help).
Very nice.
