Like i said on fb. Looks fucking hot. Love those wheels! Im glad you put them on because i've only seen that ED with the rebels.
I wanted to avoid 19's too and these look like they fill the guards nicely.

Jealous.

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » December 19th, 2012, 7:32 pm

Haha cheers brad yeah they fill the guards well, needs to be slammed to pull them off I reckon though,

Tonight I pulled the steering knuckles out to get the ball joints pressed in tomorrow also degreased in all the wheel arches and under carriage tomorrow ill refit it all up with new wheel bearings and do the tie rod ends aswell, pads and disks can wait till I decide what I'm going to do with them,
Maintaining a car is never as exciting as modding

Front end is back together feels a lot more settled on the road a lot less bump steer now I just need a wheel alignment,

Picking up another el Xr to wreck out in the next few weeks aswell

Cheers mate, Im loving them ATM will be better I once I get them resprayed again, gave the car a good clean and cut the roof and bonnet and polished it all New Year's Day, it's handy having a buff at home I wouldn't of done it all by hand.

Really need to get stick into swapping the Drive line over but have to get the other Xr stripped out before I pull another one apart in there

Buying a new dslr camera so I can take some better pictures of it my digital one is a bit old

LUVSIT · Post by **LUVSIT** » January 17th, 2013, 4:12 pm

illl grab the rims once there for sale

lol

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » January 24th, 2013, 8:46 pm

Haha everything has a price Tyronne, put this up for sale if anyone is interested 7k probably abit high for something n/a but with all the new parts and all the good stuff I think it's worth it, I'm not fussed if it doesn't sells its a good car,
I put the xr8 rear skirt with the bigger exhaust hole on this too from that parts xr8 I had, dons a oil & filter change and next weekend I'm ripping the auto out to convert it finally, then ill rebush the front and get a wheel alignment, then the rear,
Camber?

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 7th, 2013, 10:49 pm

Back on the gt's for now, ill get the rebels painted while they are off, I've ordered everything I need to convert it to manual now from Kyle from strapp ford cheers dude,
Might be getting some fr18"s for this if they haven't sold already, and picking up a lokka for it next week to go in with my 3.9s should be fun

braad · Post by **braad** » February 11th, 2013, 11:58 am

Get the FR18's. They will solve your sick wheel swapping fetish

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 11th, 2013, 1:49 pm

Hahaha there's still no guarantee that will happen, the seller is being difficult not replying to messages etc

braad · Post by **braad** » February 11th, 2013, 9:43 pm

I found that in the past, people with simmons can often be such fucktards! I sold mine before the ad even went up because i knew what they were worth and didnt subscribe to tempe tyres theory on pricing.

Keep hammering them, if they're pre-Au FR18's they're pretty rare (not that post-AU cant be changed to pre-AU)

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 11th, 2013, 10:07 pm

Nah au onwards offset, yeah ill keep onto him, on another note I prepped the rebals for primer tonite, then thought it would be a good idea to polish my roof boot and bonnet ran out of light so hope it's ok if not ill do it again tomorrow

braad · Post by **braad** » February 12th, 2013, 5:51 pm

If you have the money get them changed to pre-AU. More dish! And obviously no spacers

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 12th, 2013, 9:43 pm

Still no reply from him, oh well,.
finished polishing it tonight came up well but I definitely prefer the rebels over the BA GT's
Oh and finally got an exhaust tip put on I'm still not 100% happy with how it is so ill modify it so I'm happy with it

DJV8T5 · Post by **DJV8T5** » February 13th, 2013, 11:03 am

This car looks so good on GT's and Rebel's...cant wait to see it on FR's. Such a neat example

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 13th, 2013, 12:07 pm

Lol yeah just an iPhone, cheers mate nearly done everything to the outside now so start focussing on the driveline next,

Gave up on the Simmons still no word back

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 14th, 2013, 5:23 pm

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 14th, 2013, 6:42 pm

Haha cheers man, I can't decide on the wheels sometimes I prefer the gt's others the rebals

EBOOST · Post by **EBOOST** » February 14th, 2013, 8:17 pm

I think the gt's suit better but its your car.

You've done a really good job with it mate

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 14th, 2013, 8:39 pm

Cheers mate, slowly getting there still a few loose end to fix up

kwikxr · Post by **kwikxr** » February 14th, 2013, 9:18 pm

Looks absolutely killer on both sets of wheels, they suit the XR so well! Tough choice, either way it looks mint

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 14th, 2013, 9:44 pm

Lucky I don't have to sell them so I don't have to pick yet lol

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 19th, 2013, 10:39 pm

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 20th, 2013, 2:43 pm

Haha, no comment?, the way I look at it I can get rid if the car with a standard bonnet for the same price I got it for or more, pick it up tomorrow night, will probably drive it to the new rego runs out,

icachn · Post by **icachn** » February 20th, 2013, 3:28 pm

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 23rd, 2013, 6:24 pm

It's fairly clean just needs some mechanical attention,

wombi90 · Post by **wombi90** » February 23rd, 2013, 7:36 pm

Nah man not keeping it anyway but I might chuck a set of wheels on it to help it sell
