F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 3m 8d Location: North Brisbane Posted 20/03/03 10:44 PM Share Posted 20/03/03 10:44 PM Well guys, I finally picked up my Citric Acid turbo ute yesterday morning, had the day off work and did some cruising. I like it, I like it a lot! Plenty of grunt and everywhere.One of the biggest things I have noticed is everyone staring. I have never seen anything like it! It's only a ute, but it does stand out like the proverbial.... When I stopped to get some fuel (didn't give me much when I picked it up!) three guys (from different cars) all came over to have a chat and say awesome. I must admit, I felt (and still do) pretty chuffed about it!I haven't taken any piccies from delivery yet - too busy driving! I will get some over the weekend and post later to this thread. I have attached the predelivery shot again for reference To all the guys in Brisbane, a big group photo could be on the cards ??????? Let me know what you all think.

PURSUTE Member 48 Member For: 22y 6m 5d Posted 21/03/03 12:30 AM Share Posted 21/03/03 12:30 AM That's funny you've got twin tailpipes.Obviously just on the ute. I thought the same when I picked mine up.Not dissing the sedans at all, but I do prefer the look of the twin pipes on the utes. It just seems more purposfull or something.Weird that I put almost exactly the same pipes on my AU (copied the XR8 ute) before the BA was availabe.

I thought that she would hate it but surprised me nonetheless with her response. Not that I would have changed it anyway......... :lol: I may be going out on a limb here, but I have felt the manual gearboxes in the turbo sedans before and the XR8 box, and to be honest, my box feels EXACTLY like an XR8??? I wonder if they have used the 8 box in the turbo utes??Oh, and my engine bay is the same colour as the car, shiny and all!One big problem I have found though and it is going to cost me a LOT of money I can see, is that the rear tyres keep wanting to have their own party and are forever trying to spin faster than the front......... Damn fun machine B) 226 kms and rising rapidly Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1373-have-a-stare-why-dont-ya/#findComment-14190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
