Get used to it I'm afraid.Happens with all makes/models of cars. Look at all the riceburner R33 GTST Skylines driving around with GTR badges and kits......<{POST_SNAPBACK}>cant say a r33gtst is a riceburner... with a bit of work them things can put out over 300rwkw and that would destroy a xr6t with the same kw (power:weight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only $2,500+ on a turbo, $2,000+ on a rebuild with forged internals, $800 intercooler, $1000 exhaust, $900 injectors, $150 fuel pump, $1200 ECU, PLUS a sh*t load of labour on top and a decent set of wheels to put the power down.Spend that on an XR6 turbo and the Riceburner will be no where in sight my friend.....Trust me, I used to own one.

However, re-badging and thus identifying the car as something else is straight BS.In other words, a new bodykit improves the visual appeal, and factor. But re-bading a car into something else, is a nothing but a wannabe piece of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car isnt that bad looking, Red with big black stripes running down the bonnet/hood/boot. Its lowered and I think it had a set of 18's or 19's. The only thing wrong with it was the interior.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be like Cro dressing up as a fat chick.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Huh , thought Ivy was a fat chick Rob,this Phoon envy thing is getting pretty serious. Better go and spend that valve spring money on some proper help Champ We could always have a Stooge Hunters Intervention, for medicinal purposes only of course <{POST_SNAPBACK}>No Phoon envy darl.
