I brang up the Cover car thing once before on Street Fords forum. It was about the 95% of the time the cover car is a XW/Y. Even though they feature a Highly impressive E series or AU. Its still not as good as a Restored V8 powed X somthing.

But the world goes round and I still think JETXR is a real nice car with a nice power figure.

the cover cars are usually decided by whats gonna sell magazines, not whats the best in the mag.

Thats the answer I got. Seems far.

If he stuck with the factory body kit and door moulds it would look much better and more appealing to me anyway and persoanlly i would of stuck with the purple colour.

Other things that ruin this is the top loader trans and wolf ecu but other than that its a car done very well

JETXR was part of my inspiration to do my car...

I say well done on getting front cover, Cant say i'm a fan of the new paint though.

Purple colour was boring.. and why spend 100k on a car and keep the factory bodykit

I agree about the door moulds though. They look soo much better with them on.

Does anyone know what wheels that are on it in the pics where it is painted orange? They look sick. Good dish.

Post by **ELXR_96** » July 19th, 2010, 1:30 pm

Same as the purple ones. Show wheels

mad_keen · Post by **mad_keen** » July 19th, 2010, 1:31 pm

The last pic is off their site

Thanks guys something else on the list of stuff to buy haha. Good looking wheels tho ... Sick

im thinking they wont be cheap...

EF ECTIV · Post by **EF ECTIV** » July 19th, 2010, 2:12 pm

show wheels are killer.... Cost a fortune though, I priced up a set on mine 20 by 8, and 20 by 9 or 10 about 4800 without tyres...

Post by **ELXR_96** » July 19th, 2010, 2:15 pm

"Hi daniel

The sleek spoke in those sizes will be $850 per set in gst
And $80 freight

Regards"

That was 18x8s in e-series offset
Why are 20s so much dearer?

Post by **pHaT`eL** » July 19th, 2010, 4:44 pm

$850 a set doesnt sound right.. $850 each does though.

Love everything about it, I liked the purple paint but the orange looks so much better. I would never go for a big bodykit but this car defiantly pulls it off. Wheels....omg I fucken love those wheels!!! haha. And yeah I would rate it as one of the best e-series in Aus along with GUNXR8, that machine is very nice too!

Yours wouldnt be too far off a feature mate. Even without a turbo.

being the blue it pulls off that front bar ok. when its orange the front bar is terrible IMO. still a cool car thou. maybe WILDEL plates?

Yep your car is definitely worthy of a feature. Theres a few on here that i think are good enough to make street fords/zoom.

Cheers, maybe once it's got some new wheels I'll send in some pics to boys in blue.

What is this GUNXR8??

Never heard of it

Michael (HYPOEB) · Post by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » July 19th, 2010, 9:54 pm

A black ED XR8. Ill try find a photo of it.

Theres a photo of it there. i cbf looking for more.

mad_keen · Post by **mad_keen** » July 19th, 2010, 10:03 pm

Oh ok . Its pretty decent although kinda just looks like an ED XR8 with expensive wheels...

DEVLXR · Post by **DEVLXR** » July 19th, 2010, 10:21 pm

Yeah but aren't most cars. It's been re sprayed, re trimmed, billet wheels, boot setup and lots of sexy bling under the hood. Makes mine look scrappy, it's really neat.

mad_keen · Post by **mad_keen** » July 19th, 2010, 10:38 pm

That is super neat!

EF ECTIV · Post by **EF ECTIV** » July 19th, 2010, 11:59 pm

the interior in GUNXR8 is fuckin ace...

justa6 · Post by **justa6** » July 20th, 2010, 6:15 am

yeah gunxr8 is super clean, but you put it side by side with jetxr and i think jet would get more point's. just has more wow about it. everyone is saying about the bodykit, i bet if you saw it cruise down your main street it would be like "holy f@#k" did you just see that. awesome car..

Bugger boys in blue go for a feature!!

Post by **Eb Barbie** » July 20th, 2010, 8:50 am

Yeh pretty sure that's the section I got my EB in and it was NA! Go for feature

some of the cars in there imo shouldn't be. Anythings worth a shot!

Post by **EFFalcon** » July 20th, 2010, 9:14 am

They're Featuring Mongoose's car off fordmods, theres nothing 'spectacular' about it, its a clean EF with kit/interior/ N/A mods
given the attention to detail yours has had i don't think you'd be far off.
much like Dylan's old EB.

what is the issue number of this mag thats got jetxr in it?

suspect · Post by **suspect** » July 20th, 2010, 6:35 pm

Issue 70

DEVLXR · Post by **DEVLXR** » July 20th, 2010, 6:44 pm

Yeah true that Beth, you wonder sometimes how some of the shit boxes get in there. Also hate it when there's a cover car, full feature on a XR6T that the guy bought, put shitty wheels on, sent to Nizpro to make 350rwkw and the guy never touched the car with a single spanner himself. WTF who cares hundreds of people have done that.

JETXR and GUNXR8 are defiantly my two favourtie e-series.

XR_Lightning · Post by **XR_Lightning** » July 20th, 2010, 6:46 pm

GUNXR is mint! Apart from the ghey autobarn pedals, needs some BA/BF XR pedals ASAP

lpg-092 · Post by **lpg-092** » July 20th, 2010, 6:52 pm

Much preferred the kit that was on the 'PYROAY' car but i hate that colour change paint, Obviously street fords believe it to be good enough to sell this issue. good on him, just glade i dont wake up and look at that thing

i also reckon there are a few cars on here that deserve a good spread in a mag.
