Nice car for a P plater.

Just dont kill yourself or others.

I know im very out spoken here but i reckon the ass looks ghey without a spoiler, just reminds me of a standard bottom of the range xt boot ... which is boring.

Plus the holes in the metal dont do much for it either.

Otherwise, VERY nice car.

i concur, personal choice, i'd prefer a wing (typhoon wing?)

otherwise, looks nice as, damn SA and their laws that allow a P-plater to drive a freaking XR6T!

enjoy it

haha tassie the same no restriction and also tassie cop are that laid back that If you get defected it was cause you were being a smart ares

by **foylema** » November 16th, 2009, 10:01 pm

Is SA the only state that lets p platers drive turbos?

by **mad_keen** » November 17th, 2009, 9:14 am

qld was all fine until u's pricks down south decided to do it

surely u'd be allowed in NT?? they hav like no laws there lol

by **braad** » November 17th, 2009, 5:02 pm

looks like Tassie & SA are relaxed. NT are being gay and making laws. Like the 130km/h speed limit... sif need speed limits

by **foylema** » November 17th, 2009, 9:27 pm

lol long live p platers with turbos

by **Malakai** » November 17th, 2009, 10:45 pm

Unlucky!

by **Antwon** » November 27th, 2009, 1:50 am

Have you ever had a cop from another state transfered there try to say your not allowed to drive it?

It happend to a mates gf. she got pulled over on her first years P's driving his 32 gtr and the cop reckon he was gona take it because she was a P plater and wasnt allowed to drive turbo cars

by **foylema** » February 15th, 2010, 9:10 pm

Hey guys been a while since i did a update lol

Had my car for just over 3 months now had a few dramas like when the trans carped itself but it was covered by warranty wooop

But yer got a generic tune from Bruce Heinrich about a month ago and it made 239.5rwks then last week took it back to get a monza intercooler and PWR trans cooler installed aswell a custom tune and made 251.9rwks which im happy about

Soon i hope to get injectors and fuel pump which are the main things holding the car back atm and maby valve springs see how we go :mrgreen:

Only other mods i have done is removed the center muffler and install 2 12" Subs for some doof doof...

by **vegabass** » February 16th, 2010, 8:21 am

You cant deny the awesome value of BA XR6T's. Nice power.

by **[Sterling]** » February 16th, 2010, 5:03 pm

Lol you would of had to be doing skids to blow the gear box, I know this because I've done it.

by **Amon** » February 16th, 2010, 5:16 pm

lol sif u could do skids kester... but totally agree with vegabass, thats an awesome power figure from a near stock car.

by **foylema** » February 16th, 2010, 6:37 pm

I dont do skids :roll:

Thanks only think holding the car back he said was the fuel pump and injectors are starting to get tired....

by **huggiebear** » February 17th, 2010, 11:24 am

i also prefer a spoiler over none, as it does look like a kitted XT, but i do love the colour.

BA's are shit with the computer mangement.. cant rev then in neutral.. some rpm cut of or something.. learnt this when i worked for thrifty lol had to do things the hard way...

ever seen a BA/BF XR6 doing circle work with literally 3k's on the clock? :lol:

also i hope by now you have plugged those holes up. would hate to think of how much water would be in the boot if it rained

Why would you want to rev a car past 3k in neutral??

by **huggiebear** » February 17th, 2010, 2:47 pm

exhaust note. making commodores think your gonna race them so they get done but the cops sitting up the road a bit.. plenty of reasons

Seems pretty smart to me.. stop idiots N-Bombing it.

by **huggiebear** » February 17th, 2010, 6:03 pm

the only time i d-bomed a car was my old mazda 323 1.6L auto lol couldnt kill that thing.

by **nothin suss** » February 17th, 2010, 6:19 pm

Anyways, nice ride foylema...!
Considered a bob tail style force lip? Might look the goods? I hate tall spoilers personally but a bob might set it off nice.

And don't d-bomb or n-bomb your $20k car, it's no good for it despite what huggiebear might have tried.

by **Mr_EF_96** » February 17th, 2010, 7:53 pm

That thing looks sick.

Slam it on its guts it will really set it off especially since now you don't have that gay looking spoilers they come out with. Nice power figure very impressive for a almost stock car.

Wish Vic didn't have those p plate laws but i guess a lot of clowns have spoilt it for the rest of us.

by **foylema** » February 17th, 2010, 9:20 pm

I wana try n get a DJR lip they look hot

Yer vic road rule suk

I wana slam it but cops like to defect p plater with turbos here i got defected last week for tyres n pod filter n tryed to say it had oil leakes lol
