Wombi's El Xr sold. New au ute

by **wombi90** » December 18th, 2012, 7:33 am

They are the same springs as I had fitted so I didn't expect it to drop more maybe the Konis have different spring seat positions? I only got defected because it was spring nats weekend.

Im not getting rid of the ba gts i only got the wheels because they only cost me a set of Ftrs and a few other things of that wreck xr6 I brought,

Yeah they are 18" and I agree they look way bigger then the Gts I'm happy I didn't get any 19"s

by **LUVSIT** » December 18th, 2012, 6:27 pm

it sits so nice too

by **wombi90** » December 18th, 2012, 10:00 pm

Cheers tyronne

by **braad** » December 19th, 2012, 7:07 pm

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.

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

by **wombi90** » December 20th, 2012, 11:12 pm

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

by **wombi90** » December 30th, 2012, 9:40 pm

Took some photos with a camera today first ones that aren't off my phone,

by **icachn** » December 31st, 2012, 1:32 am

rebels look neat on the el, suit it well. one of my favourite tickford wheel in 18".

by **wombi90** » January 3rd, 2013, 9:26 pm

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

by **braad** » January 13th, 2013, 4:24 pm

fucking nice wheels

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

illl grab the rims once there for sale

lol

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?

by **wombi90** » February 7th, 2013, 10:49 pm : **staunchxr Likes this post**

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

by **staunchxr** » February 12th, 2013, 10:56 pm

That looks great man love it.

If you don't mind me asking what camera are
Those pictures taken with? They look awesome

My photos never turn out like that lol.

Cheers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 :thumbsup:

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
