  1. cost around $800.00.ride is a little firmer,not harsh though.I have had people comment on the ride even though it is lowered.I have to say that it handles very nice,body role is reduced and it dosnt seem to have that slow wallow(is that a word) that bigger cars tend to have.
  2. and another
  3. had mine lowered the day I picked it up! Brad Garlick ford at ryde fitted herrod springs which are progressive wound. no problems,just gotta take it east on speed humps.

    Colour Wars Ii

    Got talking with a highway patrol officer the other day,He was driving an unmarked merc/silver xr6t He wasnt a bad fella for a coppa and went on to explain that they chose the merc/silver cause they wanted to be bland,inconspicuos,be able to mix it with the others till one stepped out of line He also mentioned that he was involved in a high speed pursuit,chasing a phantom XR6T,but couldnt catch it,something to do with being a faster colour or something
  7. ive ben hanging off doing mine,I didnt like the smaller mesh like some of the others,I wanted something simalar to the top grill looks grouse!!!! :D
  8. I think he's a tossa! But I probably wouldnt tell him him to his face! Good on him for winning the tittle,after all he is an AUSSIE
  9. yep your absolutely correct!Me very solly

  11. a few years ago the government passed a legislation that all new motorcycles sold had to have the head lights hard wired(so they came on with the ignition this was a knee jerk reaction by some politicians and testing and statistics later showed headlights on in the day did nothing to reduce the amount of bike accidents. As far as I aware it is no longer mandatory to have them on

    Low Power Xr6t

    I think the first problem is the dealer ar gosford.Ring Dean Oven (service manager) at ELN at tuggerah or Gary denison at Brad Garlick at top ryde. I have found these 2 guys to be more than helpful with the various issues that I have had with our car
  13. going to work the other day I happened along a vyss ute-Game on!!!! We rounded a bend on Pennant Hills Rd and to our delight a red light.I just had enough time to stop and put it into first (manual) when I heard him gun it.Damm!! I nailed it,dropped the clutch,looked across to my mate in the passenger seat as we sat there smokin up-even the car behind the ute passed me.Finally got it off the line and caught up to the ute to play again,but that's another story!
  14. Oh,the 4.6% who have them on all the time,even during the day,Whats your game?Maybe its to compensate for your pen*s size.Are you really that insecure in life,striving for recognition,that u have to put your lights on during the day,let alone your fog lights. Probably the same people who bought a new XR just so people would talk to them(nice car mate!!) You should start your own little group where u could meet every second monday,put your chairs in a little circle and compare your little willies while pondering what it does take to-GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. sorry,but I checked the percentages at the top,and if 37.9% of people have thier foggers on all the time at night then 37.9% of u r wankers.I drive a truck for a living and I gotta tell u people,it is one of my pet hates Why? They are bright.the light refracts off the road and into the truck mirrors where it reflects into drivers eyes.(not pissie little mirrors 6" square- the mirrors on my truck are huge and there is no escaping the torment/torture of your silly ego boosting ploy for recognition"HEY LOOK AT ME IN MY NEW FLASH CAR" The problem is compounded when the road is wet If you cant see at night-SLOW DOWN-why should other motorists have to be inconvenienced for the sake of you.
  16. Three old blokes suffering from alziemers share a large 2 story house together.One night the three of them r wathing telly when Ken says" ok,I'm gonna have a shower" He walks off upstairs,gets undressed,goes to step in the shower then stops"mmm,was I getting in the shower or was I getting out???"He yells out his predicament to the the other 2 so Bob says he'll go and sought him out. On his way up the stairs Bob trips up.He gets to his feet but then dosnt know if he was going up stairs or down. "Hey Ted "he yells"Ken is in the bathroom and he dos'nt know if he was getting in or out of the shower,Im on the stairs not knowing if im going up or down! Could u lend a hand" On hearing this Ted utters to himself"Pair of bloody old fools,at least one of this trio still has his wits about him"as he leans forward to tap the coffee table"Knock on wood"(insert knock knock sound here) With that he stands up and says "was that the front door or the back door"
  17. I remember when I was a young lad,Mum and Dad and I would drive for what seemed like eternity to get to my grandparents place in the country. Once we got there grandad would say"Get ya granmammy boy,and hop up in the pickup,were going to the store" Now this was know ordinary store,They made thier own jams,chutney,sauces,etc,etc,etc.So thier we were in the old truck on our way down to dicken's store and I can remember grandad saying that they made the best lemonade,but thier cider was something to die for. "yep" he'd say" there aint nothing like a dickens cider",Shoot even grandma liked a dickens cider,once she'd had one she couldnt stop,she'd have to have another dickens cider I gotta agree now I am a little older"theres nothing quite like a dickens cider.
  18. I think that should be BRAKE fade,not break fade. Break fade,maybe a new dance,a new brekky cereal,maybe im just an dickhead who cant spell
  19. Just my opinion;personally I think that to spend 2 or 3 grand on a brake upgrade is a toss.Unless you r going to be doing trackdays and the like,then the standard setup is ok.I drive my car as hard as the next guy(or woman)and the break fade is very minimal,perhaps a set of dba's and some good pads!! Just how week is the manual gearbox?-is it strong as a top loader?Sure the top loader was a notchy b**ch of a thing but mine took every thing I tossed at it in its stride.Like I said just my opinion!!!
  20. swirl marks you say! aint no swirl marks that a quality wax'n'polish aint ever gonna fix-Man I love fishing!!!!!! :D Quick senario-Rainy pulls up outside a night club in a merc./siver xr-"hey ladies ,whats happening"-Piss off u old fart!!! Same thing in the phantom__"got room for my girlfriends!!
  21. CLICK That was me turning my stopwatch off.I wish fish would take the bait that fast!
  22. It seems them folk down there at GMH have realised something what all us smart xr drivers already know. They are gonna release a new colour in thier series 2 SS ---It looks a little like the best xr colour "PHANTOM" Still looks better on the ford though,wonder if they will release a colour for the old folk-something like mercury silver !!! :D :D :D :D
  23. this is the deal,I like to think I am a little handy;a little adept in the face of adversity;cope with whatever gets thrown at me,but I gotta tell you there is no way I could get my cd's out. picture this: I back the car out of the garage. Open both front doors; Take out my floor mats(to put on the ground so I dont hurt my knees) Wedge my 6'4"-150 kg self upside down between the steering wheel ,front seat and lower door sill and stare blankly for about 15 minutes. Seriously,take it to the dealer they will take the unit out,get some numbers off it,put it back in and call you when the new one arrives. They will then swap the unit over sending your cd's on a trip to Melbourne where they are removed and sent back to u good luck!!!!!
  24. thanks man,best of both worlds in my opinion
