YEAH, JUST ANOTHER BA XR6 TURBO

by **LOW_XR** » August 31st, 2008, 9:33 pm

hey all, some of you know me on here. for those who dont my names dylan and come here from aff. :lol:

i used to own a eb fairmont which i spent way to much on and sold it last week.

but then i been driving my cousins ba (bentls). and loving it so thought i would get one too. was looking at a xr8 ute, then went out in tristans phoon and decided turbo was the only way.

i found a nice ba which i liked. then i bought it a few weeks back. feel free to coment.
i know the color not to everyones cup of tee. its blood orange. i bought it very low, in fact that low i couldnt get it down my driveway lol.so i had to raise it and put it on ultras all round.

here are some pics.

The new car looks a million bucks mate, i couldnt believe how low it was that day when i saw it a few weeks back! :lol:

**** that was low, are they chopped springs or just compressed

by **private9** » August 31st, 2008, 10:12 pm

Looks awesome mate. What have you got planned for it?

by **EF ECTIV** » August 31st, 2008, 10:30 pm

loving that colour mate well done... christ that thing was low, de-spoilered and de-bdged looks so much sweeter

by **Dezza** » August 31st, 2008, 10:32 pm

It's a bloody nice car Dylan. It certainly made the EA feel old, slow, and well...shit after going for a ride in that!

by **Jake** » August 31st, 2008, 10:39 pm

Blood orange is a probably fords best colour. That ride hight is pretty sweet too

Nice car mate.

by **G3R3N** » September 1st, 2008, 11:31 am

Oh yeah. Nothing like a spoilerless XR6T. Reckon the colour is great thou. A real head turner no doubt.
282kw? What's been done to it?

by **Bipolar** » September 1st, 2008, 12:11 pm

Looks great. Love the ride height in those pics.

by **tuff4.0ed** » September 1st, 2008, 5:44 pm

got to love the dose pipe, great for sound not so good for performance you will end up kiling the turbo with no blow off

yeah love these ba's with no spoiler or badges ect.

its got on of those monza "wog?" coolers, a chip, a really good tune, turbosmart pipe, full difillipo exhaust with a bigger dump pipe and no rear ressy. oh and running 10.5 psi.

but now its leaning out bad, so upgrading pump and 60 lb injectors in the future.

its true see it happin on my mates xr6t its caused from severe compressor surge from not having a bov , and performance wise id get the pod out of the engine bay its right above the exhaust manifold which is not good have a look at plazmaman website they have a cheap kit to move the pod to under the drivers headlight.

by **Parfrey** » September 1st, 2008, 6:41 pm

love this car!! looks heaps better with no spoiler, when you bought it round to dads work i couldn't believe how low it was!

sounds good too, pretty loud for an xr6t...

There's a group buy on fordmods for shifters, if not bomber seems to run them fairly frequently:

Ditto, looks far lower in person. Pics do it no justice

by **Alesia** » September 2nd, 2008, 8:59 am

love this car dyl , although it looked fraking hot with the compressed standards in it , i think the ultras you have in it now are more sensible

This car is mint , saturday night when you picked me up to go to brads i had a grin from ear to ear when dosing and power sliding

chapel and the dose wars

thats a mean lookin car mate. nice!

by **LOW_XR** » September 3rd, 2008, 8:49 pm

i couldnt get the ba down my driveway without major problems so as said i raised it with pedders ultra lows and also got some new stewart warner gauges to replace tose crap crome cups.

old spring vs new pedders

fitting new gauges, scary taking icc and dash bits after only owning car for like a week or that

by **URZ2NV** » September 12th, 2008, 10:33 pm

Man that is one phat looking BA also love the coulor looks hot.

by **SgtBourne** » September 13th, 2008, 10:44 am

by **Dezza** » September 13th, 2008, 11:43 am

SgtBourne wrote:jesus!! is it a 5spd manual yeah? looks tops in any case.

It's actually a 6 speed. The previous owner killed the 5 speed so dropped in the 6 speed.

by **t1MMy** » September 14th, 2008, 12:55 am

i have met him before his mates with my best mates cousin if you get all that lol he also knows a friend of mine from uni but always loved the car since the first time i saw it, its just a top car sounds awsome and looks great in person.

by **LOW_XR** » September 14th, 2008, 9:57 pm

haha yeah small world hey? lol
ok a few more pics ect.

so due to the height= camber the inside edge wore pretty bad. and after power skiding 2nd and getting a flat from that i realised how worn they were:

here was something small i wanted to do since i got it, put bf tail lights in it. they are a cleaner, nicer light. and looks better at night too.

my ba tail light

new bf light
