xr6 Member 96 Member For: 20y 30d Posted 13/01/07 11:58 AM Share Posted 13/01/07 11:58 AM The only difference that will affect performance is the lower gearing. The 3.45 on my BA feels spot on to me - don't think I'd like higher gearing with a 4-speed auto. Might be a different story with the 6-speed box - can you get this on a XT?

Doogstar Member 276 Member For: 18y 1m Posted 14/01/07 05:01 AM Share Posted 14/01/07 05:01 AM I didnt remove my spare, might do it next time.I wish I new of other ways other than striping the interior out, or adding fibreglass bonnet. which is not ever going to happen to my ute.I still run the 16inch wheels though, lighter than 17's or 18's ←Al, do you remove your tailgate when you run? There's a few kilos there. Every bit less your car weighs the better the power to weight ratio is. The only difference that will affect performance is the lower gearing.

I have the alloy sports bar too. but its alloy, it should weight nothing at all. unlike the tailgate there is diffently same kilos in that thing.

I was discussing the difference between stock XR and XT diff gears. I'm sure that a lower diff ratio would improve performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now car rental companies are buying the XR6 instead of the XT, as the price difference is trivial but the added extras are far better.Alot of fleet buyers now buying XR6 instead of XT.

Before the XR6 used to be something a bit special but now there everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
