Jamie - ED XR6

[JamieEDXR6]

Hi All, have recently bought an ED XR6 with a bit done to it by the previous owner. hoping to get my stuff together and build up a nice car over the next few years.

As far as I know it's currently got; a full JMM dev3HL head, JMM race series headers, 2.5" exhaust and cat, all el gear on the intake side, AU head gasket, EL ecu etc. Nice car to drive, doughy under about 3k, but lifts off all the way to the limiter after that.

Met a few of the Qld'ers on the recent Mt Mee cruise, mine was the Polenesian Green one parked behind 89 AIT at Aspley. Should have known better than to agree to invite the missus and agree to bringing her friends, but you live and learn. (had to leave early, and 4-up in an NA 6 doesn't improve performance or economy... not to mention the self appointed in-car DJ was a 7 year old)

Cheers to everyone for being so welcoming to a stranger, hope to catch you all again in the future.

Jamie

Poly green is the best... got one meeself

[JamieEDXR6]

pic's will come in the near future, until then, you can see the arse-end on the Mt-Mee thread (page 7) on fordforums... not much of a shot, but there you go.

if anyone on the cruise happens to read this and have any decent shots of my car, (662 CPW) any chance of posting them?

hey man, were u the 1 i was driving behind all day, and parked behind at the first stop?? wearing white shirt and jeans? i was driving the White EL Fairmont Ghia

Hey mate, good to see you made it. Hope to see you at future meets too.

[JamieEDXR6]

Fairmont888, yeah, I was. Tell you what, your car's got more stick (or you've got bigger balls) than I thought it (you) would. I wasn't pushing the XR6 that hard, still figured I would have lost you around some of those corners up the mountains, but the silver grill was almost always there.

Cheers Tim, was nice to meet you, love your car mate, something to aim for with mine I guess. And to Luke, thanks for taking the time to have a listen to the noise coming from under my car. Haven't worked out what it is, but it's not making the noise anymore.

lol hahaha, well i couldnt let ya get away haha.. nah my car did better than i thought it would. seeing as i had plenty of time to look at ur car it looks pretty tidy!!

[JamieEDXR6]

yeah it is mate, run's well, very sturdy on the road, almost no rattles or squeaks, 190k on the clock though, so it's not really high k's for a 93 model. Had been over a week since I washed it on Sunday, so there was a bit of dust and a few smudges on it. Comes up real nice in the sunlight after a wash and polish, but i think it's a respray. Few little things I worry about when driving, although it hasn't let me down yet. I need to look after it better than I have since buying it. Think the biggest hurdle is going to be finding the time/money to do routine/preventative maintenance and cleaning when needed.

[Fairmont888]

sounds like a pretty dam good car.. at least u didnt do what i did.. washed it the day before the cruise.. pissed down with rain while it was parked outside at work.. got it home cleaned all the dirt off it again... morning of the cruise pissing down with rain so it shows up dirty anyway. awesome k's for the age!!! in comparison mines a 97 and done 132,000 so thats also pretty good unfortunately mine did get slammed into a building and written off lol
