[RU 16 WA] -- FG XR8

[Tocchi]

ok here's my bunky.
picked it up a few months back and ive been happy with it since

i dont want to do major modifications to this... due to it having a warranty and such stuff like that.
its just going to be a cruiser with minor cosmetic modifications.
am i going to eat these above words? only time will tell

this car has balls... hammer the throttle and it will crab all of 2nd, also loves limiter.
it feels like it will do low 13s... guess ill have to take it to the Motorplex soon then :p


specs:
290kw
6 speed manual
leather interior
premium sound (6 stacker and sub)
premium climate control
factory 19s

mods:
Superlows (Lovells prototypes - i got these 2 months ago. they are now on sale to the 'public' as of last week)
17" BF XR burnout rims

plans:
18% tint
Simmons FR19s (black centre with redwalls)




an hour after lowering - so havent settled yet

[Steady]

Pics with FRs farken!
You order direct from Simmons?

[Bipolar]

Very nice. Awesome daily.

[EF ECTIV]

nice daily.... gotta love that dead cow smell

[Frost]

Lookin good. Just a stupid question what do the plates stand for?

[nommic]

Are you fking kidding frost?

How much lower is it with the new springs tocchi?

[wicksy]

all u need is a X-Force Dual system and it will sound mint, mate got one on his FG and then got it dynoed it pulled 321rwhp

[Frost]

Are you fking kidding frost?

No no im not. I have 2 different meanings floating in my head.

[Tocchi]

cheers guys

nah Steady, im going through TECH9TYRES in Perth... they deal with Simmons a lot, so they can get a better deal than i can
$3600 for rims to get to Perth - Simmons direct
$3400 for rims/fitting tyres/balancing/rolling guards/wheel alignment - Tech9
(but of course, in both cases, id still need tyres)


nommic, it dropped about 1.5/2 inches..
supposedly you cant lower FGs too much otherwise the tailshaft binds up or something bad


wicksy, thats sweet. but im not touching the car mechanically... you see, if i did an exhaust, the next thing would be a Kenne Bell.
i dont want to put a KB on it... but modding is something i cant help... its a disease lol


Frost, it means "are you 16?", btw do you have a sister?

[Steady]

Yeah sweet, I'll probably end up doing the same thing with a joint in Vic, Simmons didn't want a bar of me when I was trying to figure out how wide I could go on the rear of the ED.
Looks tops though man, make sure you whack some pics up as soon as you get the FRs on!
Should look tough as guts with the dark centre and redwalls.

Frost, it means "are you 16?", btw do you have a sister?

LOL!!

[Frost]

Iv seen some bad reviews of Tech9 and good reviews on Tech9. Something about making sure they do the job right.

I have a brother around that age in Perth

And I thought as much but I wasnt too sure.

[ed40]

Plans are for Kenne Bell supercharger.

[EF ECTIV]

I dont know why you try to fight it matty... You had plans for a KB even before you took delivery

[Tocchi]

LOL **** ITS STARTED!!!! .... ive got on hold, a front brake package upgrade. 4 pot Brembo kit (rotors, lines, calipers, etc) from a FG FPV.

oh well, i always was demanding Ford let me option Brembos, but they didnt let me... so ill let this mod slide !


and ive ordered my Simmons FR19 today
19x8.5 front, 19x9.5" rear
metallic black centre

[stevo]

pure sex mate

[Steady]

haha, funny story which i can see playing out here.
I bought some Mal Wood tramp rods off a bloke who used to have a 350rwkw F6 Tornado.
Crashed it, put an FG Super Pursuit on order.
When I spoke to him, he said the reason he was getting the 8 was so he wasn't so tempted to get more power out of it, and that he would keep it a stock work car....

There it is now
For those who can't see it, first Harrop blower onto an FG.
Quick vid on page 2 of that thread, just giving it a rev cause it hasn't been on the dyno yet.

That probably won't happen to you but tocchi, I'm sure you can resist the temptation to do something similar

[XRated]

Haha that's awesome Tocchi!! It's good to see some old school wheels like the FRs going on newer models. Timeless wheel, they will look tight on the FG!

Awesome thread, Steady Those Boss' should've been blown from factory; ~350rwkws with no other mods is nuts.

[EF ECTIV]

there is nothing that the FRs dont look good on.... the black centres are gonna look killer matty

[DaNeOs]

How did this end up looking with the FR's?

[EF ECTIV]

tocchi's simmons havent arrived yet, he had some others 20s on for the all ford day last weekend but
he's since sold them too .... This guy is a wheeler and dealer....

[Frost]

I here this thing does great skids. There better be more marks there before I get there at xmas.

[fullygreek]

skiddddddddd piccccccccssssssssssssssss

[Tocchi]

haha. bald rear tyres (as in smooth) and 80% tread front tyres, does not imply ive been doing skids

[Frost]

But iv herd you do skids

Ill get him to get photos. HAHA

[fullygreek]

[Tocchi]

[fullygreek]

nice

[Tocchi]

ok picked this up the other day, its a GTE bootlid spoiler, just need to get a spoilerless bootlid to put it on




fitted the Brembos yesterday morning, only to find my option 19s dont clear the calipers
so i had to fit the stock ones back on and wait until the Simmons arrive (friday ) to fit the brembos again

[EF ECTIV]

fag that spoiler will look sick.... yeh the brakes and simmons are kinda sweet too

[galapogos01]

those are some sweet brakes. nice work.

PS: how the **** do you have the money to buy and mod a brand new car?

PPS: OMFG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFe7E8Wpn_Q

build thread for that ute...

[[Sterling]]

simmons yet??? you said friday?

[bentls]

its thursday silver.

[Tocchi]

gotta love the glass bbq. haha jks

yeh its Friday supposedly... doesnt make a difference to me, im flying out for work (offshore) tomorrow morning at 7.15am.
so i wont see these rims for a week or so anyway

[Tocchi]

good news. ive scored some Brembo compatible rims

actually 8 of them

18" BA GTP rims

[wicksy]

lol wholly crap, lots of spare burnout rims haha

[Tocchi]

ok bulk delays
- Simmons delayed further
- front swaybar still delayed
- BA GTP rims still delayed

and im selling the Brembo 4pot calipers (no rotors) for $1500 ono
they are 20km old... thats all!

bought some Brembo 6 pot (fronts) and 4 pot (rears) today

[Boogar]

oh dang. I thought you were including rotors. In that case, ignore my offer on PES.

GTE spoiler will look good! I'm still unsure of the front/rear ends on these though... or the rear 1/4 windows. They look kinda strange still. Better than VE, but not by that much. If Ford don't do something soon to make me cum in my pants again then I'll be forced to buy European! haha.

I'm glad your rims got delayed too. I'm stuck out hanging around Varanus Is waiting for it to explode again and char grill us all. That means you're not allowed to have fun either!!!

(btw - bonuses for all these people onboard and having to share cabins = $86.90/day)

[Ef_frmnt]

wtf do you do for work. i want in

[ed40]

He wont reply for a while. He has taken the car to drift practice night hahaha. **** this thing cops a hammering!
