Migz Member 80 Member For: 17y 7m 29d Posted 15/04/07 06:03 PM Share Posted 15/04/07 06:03 PM Heya guys. Obviously im pretty new to the forum. A few weeks ago I was contemplating buying a second hand Xr T. but after some careful thinking and looking at prices and what ones are out and about ive decided to go all out and buy a brand spanking new one. So ive been around around to a few dealerships but apparently they didnt believe I was planning on actually buying a new one. Im guessing they dont have many 19 year olds inquiring about 50+k cars eh. Oh well. Ive been lookin at a few of the options and I just wanted to see what some of ya guys opinions one some of the extras were. Stuff like the premium audio and the like.Now atm I was planning on taking the sub and amp out my car that I own now. (both pioneer) and place that in or is the premium package pretty decent for a stock car Also what are the opinions on the sun roof I think they look pretty cool but im still not sure whether I wanna pay the extra 2k for something I might barely use.Also I really like the Fpv spoiler. How does one go about getting one of them instead. Not the big one aswell. just like the xr one but with the 3 attachments.Also the momo steering wheel. Is it worth it? I havnt actually seen one yet but apparently its the way to go.Now its 2am and im sorry for rambling a bit. been up for well over 17 hours and apparently my brain is in neutral if the adds are anything to go by. Im lookin forward to some suggestions and what not from ya guys. On a side night. Ego or black? Cheers, Migz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for playing music and plenty loud enough, but not capable of competing with the ricers on a cruise into Brighton.The standard XR6T stereo sucks. It lacks both volume and quality 3 out of 10.I have ordered the Premium on my next car. Its best not to give Ford an excuse for not fixing things under Warranty by installing a stereo yourself.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

It can be beefed up with new speakers and amps if it is not loud enoughA sunroof is a waste of money IMHO, but some people love theirs. If you are tall (over 6') then forget it.The momo wheel is crap, get the "sports" wheel. it is chunky and a must have option. You can buy them for 1/2 price form eBay if you are not packaging your car for finance.If you can stretch your budget, get the Luxury pack and sports steering wheel, this would be the ideal setup.As for colour, either Ego or Black looks great. I would go Ego if I had another choice as black shows up every mark and bit of dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one go about getting one of them instead. Not the big one aswell. just like the xr one but with the 3 attachments.Hi Migz,AWC make taller legs for the XR wings out of fibreglass in either the 2 legs or 3 legs variety. I got the taller 2 legs for my BA and happy with the quality. For the 3 legs you need to drill a hole in the wing for the middle leg, though comes with a template. They come painted with new bolts and gaskets too in whatever colour to match your T. The product is called "TYPHOON REAR WING LEGS", check them out on the page below.http://www.awcinfo.com/secureshop/category.php?cat_id=406Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a personal preference that I've never been a big fan of leather interiors and what not. I suppose I'll see what the dealers say. So is there a particular 'sports' wheel that the Xr has or a random 3rd party acc. that is really good? Also. I can get insurance no worries I've been told. It's all just about the price im willing to pay but price isnt really a problem. so whats an extra 3k when im spending half a century And thanks Benjam. I'll have to look into that at a later date I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flukey Seriously Flukey Member Donating Members 4,354 Member For: 20y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 16/04/07 03:25 AM Share Posted 16/04/07 03:25 AM Ignore what the grumpy old men said about Sunroofs.It will be $2K well spent. I wouldnt buy a car now without one.My advice would be to not over-spend on a BFT right now as in less than a year it will updated and resale will plummet.Shop hard as there is some good deals around.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
