Soul Reaver

Each to there own, all I can say is I'm very happy with my blue beast and the XR5 Forum makes it that much better along with this place too.

Will be going to watch this on Tuesday I have been disowned by my team mates till I do cannot wait On a side note, hell yeah bring on Voltron, Robotech and Techno Man I love my Mecha stuff this is going to be awesome P.S I have just started to watch Neon Gensis Evangelion again, will they ever make that into a movie some damn twister sh*t in that

hahahahah this is classic Is this how cops are going to tell if you have modded as well. "excuse me sir drop your dacks I need to see if you are modded"

classic

Damn, That is one lucky car (forget the dope behind the wheel but )

That is awesome Do you think my soul is enough for that ?

Yeap that sounds about correct

Awesome stuff Rap1d awesome

nah, no good keep looking AU Ford.

Hey ZA_F6 the old T5 was showing its age, found it difficult to get into first when hot (and yes I had good oils in Transmax Z), bad clutch noise and shutter (this was my own fault changed to after market clutch - To all do not get a ceramic for city traffic driving ) box was very noisy from new very heavy on fuel in traffic and general felt heavy until I hit boost With the XR5T, like I said before awesome gearbox so smooth, no brake shutter , no hand brake noise, idle is perfect, general engine response is very smooth, no stalling with air con on, no rough idle when slowing down less effort required to take off from stand still (normal driving), little if any drive line shunting and much easier to park . Just seems to be better behaviored in traffic. Cheers

Well it was a very sad day when I made my mind up that the XR6 had to go, however all was not lost as I have moved to the XR5T . What can I say the XR5T is a fantastic little car and if you are considering getting a smaller car or just another car it is worth a look. Pro's: Awesome 18" wheels as standard Great Recaro Seats (I love my leather ) Heated front seats (only available with the leather) shuts the girl right up Lighter on fuel approx 10 vs 14 litres per 100km A fantastic 6 sp manual gearbox (very smooth compared to the old T5) An absolutely awesome exhaust note (I will give it WOT every time just to hear that note) Great fitments inside (cool red light over the gearbox at night) A pretty good sound system (must admit its better than the premium XR6 one even without a Sub) Global window open/close functions (can open close windows via keys) Really starting to like the Front styling alot. Very torquie little engine (almost any gear any RPM there is heaps of torque) Very smooth ride. Handling is top notch, much better than the big heavy XR6 Cons Not as powerful as the XR6T, however its not far behind (mind you I came from a 270rwkw monster ) Although I love the duel exhaust tips on the XR5 the XR6 looked better from behind I miss my color LCD screen (mind you I may get an after market headunit to fix that) No Cruise control (why ohh why did Ford leave this off, ) No xenons lights (mind you the XR6 doesn't have either) Front wheel drive (although sometimes this is not a bad point, unless you are a drag strip hoar) After almost 1500Km behind the driving wheel I still love getting into the car and driving it no matter were that is (open road, twisties, Sydney traffic ). The XR6T was getting to be a real chore to drive in Sydney (due to traffic) and although I loved that car (god did I love it ) the XR5T is an awesome car to move into. BTW there are now a few tuning options (flush tune just like the capa one) for the wonderful 5 cylinder volvo engine which once applied turn it into the most powerful in its class however I'm yet to apply this (only a matter of time ). Anyway as you can see by all the previous posts on this car and on the FordXR5Turbo forum (awesome bunch of people) its definitely an awesome little car and well worth a look and a test drive if you get the chance. (P.S I will be selling all my bits from the XR6T within the next few days, so watch this space) BTW I intent to stay a regular on this site cause I love all you guys too much

What a joke, Can someone put this thing out of its misery, Please 90K my two butt cheeks

BTW it would costs alot more to get the power windows put in (genuine parts) if you were to fit the bill: Approx 4 - 5k, so if can get one with all power windows to avoid all the issues and hassle. Else get much bigger discount than the crappie $1k being offered by Ford else you will be out of pocket.

Well add my to the happy Bob customer's list Awesome bloke, great to chat with and most importantly did an awesome job for an even better price. If you are thinking about getting tints (not just for falcons) and in Sydney give Bob a call he knows his stuff

Damn love it.

There used to be a clicking noise from the fuse panel with the first gen Capa Tunes but this was only heard when the car was on. As far as im aware that issue had been resolved

Why am I not surprised at fords lack of rubber seriously how hard is it FORD.

Damn that's what it is, I though it was bird crap as well, damn little buggers defacing my nice clean car This is war I tell you :biggun:

I got to 40k before mine decided to shudder, mind you I think a little NSW cruise up to Bathurst did not help the situation

Classic, Good luck to them, not a bad buck night event, go for cruise in hot car get car washed by girls (may also extend to washing busks as well) get smashed and make a fool of self

Go the Phillips Cool Blue +50% You will like it son

What the F*uk is that crap Some people have too much time and money (how about giving some to me )

Interior is ok, exterior oh my god the end of the cult Rexie is near. On the up side for people wanting it, it should be dirt cheap after 6 months of no sales.

Awesome day, THANKS PHIL Love the sounds in the Vid, top stuff. Will check what I have to post later tonight.

Count me in Missed the last one , so keen as for this one.
