shockF6 Member 478 Member For: 19y 7m 16d Location: Melbourne Posted 08/10/05 10:39 AM Share Posted 08/10/05 10:39 AM Just letting every one know that I picked up my new Shockwave Typhoon last night I would have posted sooner but I couldnt get my bum out of it!Thanks for all the advice in running her in,, I picked her up with 33k's on the clock, now just 24 hours later there is over 350 Only a dyno will tell if I did a good job at the runin...The first thing I noticed is the clutch is ALOT lighter to press in than the XR6T 6 speed..... This is not what I was expecting, however I really dont mind (less leg aches in traffic).The only other strange thing was the smell in the car, its not the normal "new car" smell,,,, anyone know if they use a diferent glue on the FPV's to the XR's????anyway because I couldnt find any picks of a Shockwave Phoon I'll post the ones my wife took of her when I was pulling into my driveway for the first time I'll post more once the weather fines up.....
