Sell the motor and everything you can from the old rig, and put a snail on the new one.

Meeh shit happens, ill just rebuild the new xr... Will love turbs this time!

I've said it before but EL XR's with the big tickford kit have got to be the best looking eseries IMO.

Sucks about the stack but seems like you came out on top!

Maybe later scotty. Just tring to clean up the old wreck ATM and sort the new xr with a roady ect.

Found some rear door pockets at a wreckers the other day. Thort they would look good on the xr and fitted them up today.

Had a change with tail lights, went back to the ef style rear lights

Also changed to slotted rotors, with gold painted hubs but still trying to work out a colour for the calipers. Any ideas? Thanks

Posted: **November 11th, 2012, 7:45 pm**

Red for the extra 25 killerwasps.

Posted: **November 11th, 2012, 7:48 pm**

go silver bro, i had silver on the old xr and it looked clean and standard infront of brand new pads

Posted: **November 11th, 2012, 8:21 pm**

I was either thinking of red or black

Posted: **November 11th, 2012, 8:29 pm**

I think wrinkle red will look awesome and what I'm planning on doing

I'd go for black, it'll give it a clean look and go well with the gold hubs. IMO any other colour makes the single piston calipers look even smaller than they already are. Rear isn't too bad, but the front calipers are tiny lol.

By the way, mint XR6! Sucks to hear about what happened with the EF, but looks like it worked out for the better

Posted: **November 11th, 2012, 9:08 pm**

+1 for black

Posted: **November 12th, 2012, 9:32 am**

Black it is then!

Posted: **November 12th, 2012, 4:45 pm**

love the new ride man, shame about the old one it was a nice piece of work. +1 for the black calipers. What sort of paint did you use on the rotor? did you sand it or anything or just paint straight away?

Thanks bud!
Yea its a shame but these things happen somtimes

I used VHT caliper paint on the rotors.
I just wire wheeled the hub back, got all the rusty crap off it, wiped down then painted straight to the hub.
Then applied VHT clear coat paint.

Sweet my rotors are brand new not even on the car yet, so i reckon it would be all good to just paint.

How do you find the light spread with HIDs in standard ef lights? Was thinking about getting a set from eBay and chucking them in with white led parkers but worried the light spread might blind some drivers?
ok im with ya, in that op there are just parkers.
And yerr the HIDs are so much better, i havnt been pulled up for them and havnt had any other drivers flash me as yet, and ive had them in for about 3weeks now
