Felix Large Member Member 564 Member For: 18y 3m 6d Location: Brisvegas Posted 01/04/07 02:47 AM Share Posted 01/04/07 02:47 AM A pic of a guys new XR8 at work. He loves it, not that he knows anything about it. I pretty sure its the 220kw tickford but I dont know much about older ford models. He was wondering what he could do to it... I told him the best thing (apart from trading it in on a xr6t) was a Supercharder kit... but since he earns about 7 bucks an hour... 6k might be out of the question. Anyways what you guys think?felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33777-xr8-pic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have since grown on me a little (as I can often see the similarities between the AU and BA/F.)The ute was fortunate in that it missed out on the AU tail light treatment!

Never had one issue with the old girl (except for the planter box that jumped out behind me when reversing).As far as XR8's go, I think I'd actually prefer the AU.....hopefully Jeff doesn't see that comment Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33777-xr8-pic/#findComment-515991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
