i remember your car from a photo infront of a ford dealership, thing is cleann! used to love it before i bought one haha

true that, im just thinking if i should keep my current low spoiler or put on the big tickford one!

SavMan1 · Post by **SavMan1** » June 9th, 2013, 8:18 pm

yeah, i love the things! red's such a hard colour to keep clean though...and soo easy to pick colour differences at night time grrrr :p

when i got my tickford kit fitted i was unsure if i wanted to fit the bigger spoiler because it meant drilling extra holes in my boot....but i'm so glad i did it now, gives the car soo much more character

yeah i have the same problem with the differences but only when i point it out to people

it looks absolute mintt, i probably will end up putting it on eventually

btw are your clear indicators off a fairlane? do they have any gaps? i want to put some on mine but i heard they dont fit as good..

SavMan1 · Post by **SavMan1** » June 9th, 2013, 8:46 pm

yeah, just make sure you make some form of gasket to put under the new spoiler so water doesn't get into your boot :p

i had ghia side moulds painted up in red/black with the chrome strips through them but then i found this bloke so the side moulds are sitting collecting dust haha

just send him an e-mail and he should put a set up on ebay for you

alright sweet

im not a fan of the chrome strips on xr's so ill give this guy a email and work something out thanks for that

thought id put a throwback pic of my old car and what i settled down for with my el xr6, fair bit of a difference

this is when i got my xr in February, paint was rubbish gave that a cut nd polish, looked like a pig really lmao

and this is what i used to drive prior to settling down with my el after being surrounded by my dads and brothers ticky fairmonts..

so i sold that and got behind the wheel of an e series, love it. although i miss my old car, this ones a keeper

bit of an update

after having poor fuel consumption averaging about 27L/100km, i replaced the o2 sensor which seemed to get it down to the 20L/100km. I also had a hole in my exhaust and was recommended by a near by mechanic to have it replaced as it is on its way out. so i have got myself a few goodies from a mate consisting of,

pacemaker 4499
200 cell cat
lukey 2.5"

exhaust is still on my mates donor car all near new too!, should have it all ready to bolt up in the morning and see how i go, cant wait!

tqure · Post by **tqure** » June 20th, 2013, 8:41 pm

so put in the extractors and exhaust this afternoon, the car feels much more responsive and torquey. the old cat was fked and it was amazing what a difference it made. the sound is also pretty spot on to what i wanted, not too loud not quiet so im really happy with the results. will try to get a clip up of the exhaust cheers
