Sundeep's Typhoon #173..

by **travs ea-xr6** » June 5th, 2009, 9:38 pm

hey sunny i just had a ride in a typhoon it was build number 222 sky blue colour 6 speed manual,man she flew.
and i really love the brakes

by **old_mate** » June 6th, 2009, 1:30 am

i finally drove a BF R spec F6 with the T56 last weekend, 20 000k's, leather brembos and shit. Almost, like as close as you'd get to putting a pen on paper, bought the thing, but the fact that it was built in december 07 and was back at the ford dealer for sale for $44 000 made me cry at the depreciation

anyway

they fucken haul for a stock car. Can only imagine what a flashed up one is like. Is it true its about 4k for a pad and rotor change with brembo's? Or was the dealer being a noob.

I think it's about $3K from memory. I know the AMG C32 is $4K, with the AMG brakes...

by **bentls** » June 6th, 2009, 9:41 am

pads are about 700 for a set i think and rotors are like 1500....

can do yourself no harder than a ba xt lol.

also there is another brand thats basically the same as brembo who do pads n discs n stuff an its so much cheaper... the name of the company has slipped my mind atm....

also remember the 4 piston brembo combination.... its PBR discs, brembo pads and calipers... and the entire rear setup is all pbr but alot of people dont realise that

God damn thats a rip! i payed 315 for green stuff EBC's and you can get DBA's and RDA's to suit the brembo's. Im sure the rear brakes are just territory units painted red.

by **Sunboost** » June 7th, 2009, 11:08 am

I don't have Brembos

It's got the normal FPV brakes which are alright, don't like being bitten hard when cold but are good for the first few stops when they warm up. I think the brakes are identical to the ones in my BF come to think of it, just painted blue with slots in the rotors. They were replaced about 4000km ago by the previous owner though

I think he said it cost him $800

Tyres were done by the 1st owner, about 10,000km or so ago. So it's stops, steers and grips around corners pretty mickey

Since the thread's been bumped.. more pics..

mate i love that steering wheel

Whats the XA mean on your plates?

by **needfordspeed** » June 8th, 2009, 6:49 pm

X=Xebec
A=Aerobic

An Xebec is a special three-masted sailing ship used in the Mediterranean, it's like the new "Jet" for number plates.

by **ClassicAU** » June 9th, 2009, 8:02 am

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe Xebec is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

Get some sway bars and it will handle soo much better than it allready does... you bring it out on friday night??

by **bentls** » June 19th, 2009, 6:07 pm

wierd that it doesnt already have swaybars done... considering its got konis and shit....

it might already have upgraded swayabars they just werent listed in the for sale ad....

ps... saw this the other day in vicroads parking lot...

by **Sunboost** » June 20th, 2009, 3:24 pm

Yeah I was surprised it didn't have swaybars considering it's got the diff, shocks, camber kit and springs. I'll have a closer look but yeah highly doubtful. What colour and thickness are the good ones normally?

No updates with the car. Thanks to the shit weather and daily driving, it's pretty filthy.

whiteline ones are grey silver color the stock ones are black, usally 30mm is good for the front and 22mm on the rear i think but don't quote me on that ask BENTLS..

by **bentls** » June 21st, 2009, 12:02 am

ive got 28mm and 22mm both adjustable cos i got a sweet deal on them.... (front and rear, plus front and rear bilsteins, plus front and rear kings, plus front kmac ratchet c/c for 750 from ftg lol)

but yeah as tristan said they are a silver grey kinda colour... i think they are hammercoat or whatever that shit is....

could also maybe have lovell or some other brand which i think are bright ish blue...?

by **old_mate** » July 1st, 2009, 11:08 pm

Would a brother take 27K? Im in the market

by **Yagz** » July 2nd, 2009, 1:27 am

old_mate, i may be selling, interested?

by **EFFalcon** » July 2nd, 2009, 8:28 am

Phoon > XR6T

by **old_mate** » July 2nd, 2009, 7:33 pm

nar, sorry Yagz but i almost bought a BF XR6T until i drove it and i reckon it felt like a fast cab. The FPV I also drove just felt that much better

by **Parfrey** » July 2nd, 2009, 7:54 pm

nice write up on carsales

so what you going to get next?

by **Sunboost** » July 2nd, 2009, 8:01 pm

Yeah it's up for sale haha. You fukkers are quick!! Just testing the waters, but already had one guy look at it and waiting on a call from another interested dude who is in NSW.

Nah not $27k man, but if you're serious give me a call and we'll talk

by **old_mate** » July 2nd, 2009, 8:05 pm

ok. I might wait till saturday as i think my Hilux will sell then and if it's still around we'll talk. Whats next for Sundose? LS1?

by **Sunboost** » July 2nd, 2009, 8:25 pm

Not sure.. been looking at BA2 Fairlanes, WK Statesmans and cheaper XR6T's mainly. The first 2 would be ideal as they can be put on LPG, I'm sick of 98 octane

Buttt, I'd like to keep the cash in hand as well, because I either wanna start a uni course or go to Europe and shiz next year.

EDIT: Guy from NSW is flying down next weekend for a look/possible purchase lol.

Sunny's gunna have more project threads then we have members soon.

by **Barnsy** » July 3rd, 2009, 9:50 am

Why don't you run the car or direct injection lpg, it will pay for itself within a year.

by **Yagz** » July 3rd, 2009, 10:21 am

Then it would be a real taxi Barnsy...

Weak effort in selling. Why does it say $70k in receipts in the brief comments? does it hv heaps of mods?

by **Sunboost** » July 3rd, 2009, 10:40 am

I'm not selling the car because of petrol costs lol... I'm just selling it for kix

by **EFFalcon** » July 3rd, 2009, 10:42 am

Sunny wants a car that gives him more status.

Stato > Phoon

he wants to look like the prime minister

nah... if ya get a good price.. why not!

by **Dansedgli** » July 3rd, 2009, 11:01 am

$30k in the bank > 300rwkw phoon in the driveway.

by **Steady** » July 3rd, 2009, 12:54 pm

the shit thing about buying and selling cars so often is that you can never post videos of hoops for fear of losing a potential buyer.
at least thats the excuse i'm making up for you just now.

but you can post them up after the car sells :good:

by **SNR** » July 3rd, 2009, 7:52 pm

Not really, because then people looking at the next car you sell will be very wary

by **Bazza J** » July 3rd, 2009, 9:09 pm
