My New Daily AUII XR8

[SnyperEB]

Hey guys as you know im selling the Ghia so I thought I would put up what I have bought to replace it.

Picked this up 4 days ago.
AUII XR8
Liquid Silver
Manual
200kw Engine
Mods - Short shifter and 2 1/2' Exhaust.

Plan is to probably lower it and thats about it.









Cheers
Shaun

looks good mate.
was this from a bloke in hoppers?
looks very similar to one i went and saw with a mate of mine.
cheers josh.

[SnyperEB]

Yeah mate that it is.

[EBOOST]

yeah he was a bit of a weird guy but the car was clean.
if u dont mind me asking what did u get it for as my mate didnt buy it as he wouldnt budge from $13,500 but that was a good 4 months ago
cheers josh.

[SnyperEB]

Under 13 mate he really didn't want to get rid of it but his missus told him to. Bit strange but he was ok.
Probably a bit much for it but it's mint

[stevo]

Was that you I was next to lastnight after leaving maccas? If so, sounds nice man

[nstg8a]

Manual AU V8's go ok.... It's probably running similar times to your EB Looks like it's mint though! Shame mine is a heap of shit....

[tezza bear]

[SnyperEB]

150,000 on it Tezza

[Dezza]

nice looking au, getting to be a few au's on here now.

I've noticed everyone seem to be buying AUs now. They are a seriously underrated car.

Looks like a good car. The mirrors look a bit weird but other than that it looks great.

[justa6]

look's good.. silver's the go he he

[tezza bear]

150,000 on it Tezza

Cool, i think i'll have to get me one of these AU's & keep up with the rest of u lot

[fordbaby]

looks like a cochroach!!!!

[TUFED6]

I see it has the factory AU XR nosecone/panel paint mismatch. Nah j/k looks good :-)

[EFFalcon]

haha, that was the first thing i looked for too.

that colour is horrible for it.

i'd just chang the mirrors

[SnyperEB]

Leaving the mirrors just to piss you off John.

Yeah slight colour different but they all have it so not much I can do.

[BROCKYB8]

looks good mate. Congrats on the purchase .
Nice to see its manual too

[SnyperEB]

Cheers Scotty.

[kocho]

[SnyperEB]

i like it looks good even beta its manual

Had to be a manual otherwise I would not have bought it.

nice pick up snyper

i've noticed this thing round werribee/ hoppers and my old man has talked to him to,

both yours and my old boys were filling up and the owner of yours commented on how clean my dads is.

It would want to be lives in the carport except for fridays since 2002 when he brought it brand new (well it was in the showroom with a te50 rear wing on it at etheridge ford for year first)

I think dads car just hit 80k service,

Just be careful of the rolla rockers in these things mate they break but its usally only clip thingy that names eluded me and its 2,12 including gst from yella terra or 1200 from ford.

Nice car has it really clean from memory

AU2 XR8s ftw! Nice pickup. AUs are damn reliable from the ones I've seen.

[Parfrey]

looks like a nice example
AU's are pretty nice to drive, my old mans AU XR8 ute just clicked over 205,000km with pretty much no problems at all.

I have some SL front springs for one if your interested too.

Dude, it's Valve springs that break, not rockers.

[EBOOST]

yeah au's are great cars my dads wagon has done 354,000km and ive towed 2 cars and heaps of stuff with it without a drama.
also my brothers au3 220 xr8 has 178k on it and we just did brakes on it (only due to shudder) and it still had meat on the pads and no bad lips on the rotors.
clutch is still factory also (he picked it up with 34k on it).
its putting out 191rwkw aswell so the clutches are alright in them.
cheers josh.

Not in this case is was not, it was the retainer clip that i still cant remember the name of that went,

But yeah we did valve springs as well

[SnyperEB]

Couple More Pics.








Cheers Shaun

[justa6]

good looking car ay, just drop it i reckon.

[EBOOST]

did he tell u about the exhaust or give u any receipt?
he went on about it to me and my mate for ages but it looks like a stock exhaust to me.
looks exactly the same as my brothers stock xr8 exhaust.
cheers josh.

[SnyperEB]

He said something about it I didn't take much notice. It's 2 and half inch sounds good I'm not fazed.

[EBOOST]

its twin 2 1/4 it looks to me, same as standard au3 xr8.
they still flow alright and sound good.
cheers josh.

[SnyperEB]

Meh I couldn't care lol

[EFFalcon]

if its stock they've dropped a muffler out of it.
it deff doesn't sound stock
