Missile6T Member 14 Member For: 17y 8m 13d Posted 04/06/07 11:40 AM Share Posted 04/06/07 11:40 AM Hi there,Before I start,I flashed edit as well as new plugs into my baby on Friday and wow(a mission changing the plugs as it was)!Nailing it from 80kmh and felling the front end rock back is a rush!Interested to on some opinions as my car has 160000k on it now and what might be at risk.It's been mine for 75% of it's life and never been really terrorised.So making upgrades in addition to preventing potential death issues is definately what I'm talking about.Fire at will!Chris....

You can wind back the odo on the xb.Nice avatar btw,Ace at his peak was a champ!Chris..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
