07 R Spec, 1600 pa, $500 excess for peeps over 24

Damn, 2 days b4 im back in perth for good, damn kalgoorlie so far away, sounds like a blast though

Might come back for the weekend if there are going to be a few going to this

dunno, purple was ok, wouldnt drive on myself though... Anyone know anyone in the market for a phoon, thinking about selling my R Spec...., spread the word, ill be in Perth in 3 weeks, hopefully have a few interested in looking when I get there

whats a phoon run stock standard 0-100?

I drove all the way from Kalgoorlie to Perth (675km) just to test drive mine, turns out I drove it home the next day

Ive got a R spec, Just Car was 1800 per year, the guy I got it off recommended HBF car, I went with them, 1600 a year, unlimited window replacement and ulimited unnamed drivers....

sounds a bit different, not sure if that's good or bad though...

that's what my mate said yea, he usually knows what he is on about, though wanted to check that and see if there were any other major differences

Hey, Was having a convo with a mate tongiht about the difference between an xr6t and a phoon. I have a R spec phoon and he is looking at getting a 6speed auto bf2 xr6t. Besides all the cosmetic stuff on the exterior and interior, the bigger brakes and suspension what else does the phoon have over the xr6t? From what I know the intercooler and exhaust are slightly better on the phoon, and it runs slightly higher boost. But how about the engine and engine internals? What, if any are the differences between the two? Cheers EDIT: Had a quick search of the forums, couldnt find anything that specifically answered my questions, thus the post

BTW I just read the offical R Spec review, looks like 'Silk' wasnt released as an R Spec colour......, hmm its to dark to be lightning strike. Ill post some pics when I can, mebe I got the colour wrong. Is it possible 1 was made in Silk even though it wasnt an R Spec colour?

Porn being good rite ? Haha, that member with the rims for sale, are they in the for sale forum? EIf you get a chance can u post the link or PM me the details, might get in contact with him Cheers

Cheers for the pics Yea will prob mod it, will have to wait a little until those rims are patched up, or I get the argents. Prob just head for 300rwkw and see how that goes, seeing as they run like 215 stock, that's a fair upgrade. As I said, still getting used to it, was certainly a lot easier on new tyres and dry roads, stilll spun if I wanted them to, but on the balds and in the rain, was like driving on ice, haha

Picked up my R Spec yesterday, #154, Silk, 6 Spd Auto Drove back to from Perth to Kalgoorlie today, so no chance for a photo chance just yet. It has no mods or anything done to it yet, though it has 6 pot Brembo's on the front, actually it doesnt even have tint....... Will get some tint this week and give it a wash, the drive, dust and rain on the weekend has it pretty dirty, then ill take some photos and post em, was gonna wait for the photos to post, but couldnt wait, still all giddy about it. Still nothing is perfect, my mate and I test drove the car on Friday, well tried to, had barley legal tread on the back and was raining all day, I couldnt stop the damn wheels from spinning! Was fun at first, but annoying after that, couldnt drop it back a gear and give it some to overtake without the arse end stepping out. Even coming onto the freeway, I was wary of the back end, so instead of dropping it back a gear, I just held the gear till around 110, 3rd I think, wasnt revving hard at all, wasnt sure if I was excited or scared sh*tless, still was pretty funny once we straightened up, wasnt expecting it though, was just trying to harmlessly accelerate Anyway, that's not the bad part, that was good. Cause of that the first thing I did once I got the keys, was go get some tyres. Dropped the car off, was told to come back in 2 hours, he rang me 45 mins later and said he cant put tyres on cause he pulled the rears off and one was buckled (in 2 places) and one had a small flat spot on it (from a pot hole or something he reckons). He wouldnt put tyres on them as it was unsafe or something. It was 12:10 on Sat, I then drove round like a headless chicken trying to find somewhere that would fit tyres to f*cked rims, as while I need to fix the rims, I need rubber on them so I can drive them atm. Finally found somewhere to do it, gave them a case of beer for there help (they were closed when I got there) and the crisis was averted.....for now. So now ive got my dream car, was loving it, then I find out my 2 back rims are all f**ked up. Its weird, cause driving it, its barely noticable, we didnt pick it up at all in the test drive, even now, I need a really really flat bit of road and have to concentrate to feel it, even then, it could still be irregulatities in the road. But even though I cant feel it while driving, the dude a Bob Jane said its really really dangerous, so I guess I need to repair them. All the tyre places recommended the same dude, on Newcastle street in Perth I think, cant remember the name. Ill have to fix them in a few weeks when Im back in Perth, hopefully they hold out that long (there were no cracks, we checked). Anyone got a ball park figure how much 2 rim repairs would cost? Maybe I should upgrade to the Dark Argents......anyone got a pic of a silk (or other grey variant) f6/xr6 with dark argents? I would love to see what they look like on it.... Still, stocked to have my dream car, though too bad the back rims were screwed and I didnt realise, I feel stupid saying that, but I honestly cant feel it. Besides that it is in amazing condition, and those 6 pots onthe front are insane!!! Cheers guys
