Wanted: Introduction

Postby Adypie » March 1st, 2010, 3:03 pm

Hi, my name is Adam and I'm a "falcoholic". Yes that was pretty corny.
I've recently bought an ED XR6. Need a bit of work and guidance to get it back to top notch. The journey begins.
So yeah, how's it goin?

I'll get some pics up tonight hopefully. My plans are limited due to laws on provisional drivers and turbos/kWs.

Welcome mate.

If your restricted by p plate laws mate the best answer would be a 2 1/2 cat back system and a chip and cold air intake and filter.
You can advance the timing and also install a aftermarket chip like the J3.

In vic im sure your not allowed to have extractors and highflow cats until your off your red p plates but im not sure where your from so that might not affect you.

Put some pics up and you will get alot more info about what you can mod.

Good luck with your build.

Mines a '94, same car! About $1500 as is. It's had engine work and miscellaneous costs since then of course!

Where did you find those rims??!! Mine are corroded / unnatural!
Your paint is much better than mine is too. Need a respray pretty badly. Already done the bonnet in the pics.
Planning on black plush carpet for mine, have a nice design thought out. Helps being a painter and decorator :D

My dad found the rims at a swap meet, I couldn't believe it.
The clear paint is peeling a fair bit on them, but I can always re-clear them in the future.
Black plush sounds good!

And about the wheels, I've still got them. But I'm in Victoria.
