spic Donating Members 148 Member For: 16y 7m 9d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/08 06:52 AM Share Posted 14/08/08 06:52 AM I got a new FG T and drive it daily. I'm pretty much restricted to a larger rear wheel drive due to the family and to tow the boat. The way I look at it, I've got an awsome car that leaves my old BA XR6 for dead for much the same fuel economy. Better still it will be better when I get a custom tune done win win all around.

If you want to drive something a bit nicer or bigger, what about a N/A XR6 with 6spd auto?or a ba xr6 n/a on lpg like me Edited 14/08/08 08:27 AM by Buf-Phoon Fixed quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe you can keep a nice car in good condition by using it as a daily hack. Others will disagree, but that's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get married in 3 months... If I went out today and bought a FG XR6T the Mrs would be ok about it as she is spending a packet on the wedding, but after marriage, Im hoping she dont tighten the screws...Its funny how they forget real quick all the money they spend.. When I come to my senses it might be too late. Maybe I should just run out and grab one whilst the wedding spending bonanza continues (before my window of opportunity closes up...)I did the same thing your thinking about doin last year. 3mths out from our wedding I went out & bought a new bf T with a few minor mods to go with it. I got the big ring on her finger & she said she wanted to buy me a big plasma for christmas so I suggested we spend the money on injectors & tune. all good got that one done abit after christmas & over the next following months I eased her into the idea of more so I did it & then abit more so I did it & now phase 3 later. got to love the first year of marriage. ohhh yeah its a daily driver ive driven to brisbane & back which is about 3500klm & I just got back form a weekend at cooktown another 900klm round trip. it sits out the front of our workshop everyday of its life. wifes actually just taken it for work up I innisfail. but it gets washed at least once a week inside & out & serviced every 5000klm with syn oil. couldnt imagine goin back to a buzz bucket as a daily.

XRPete Member 673 Member For: 17y 2m 9d Gender: Male Location: Here Posted 14/08/08 08:45 AM Share Posted 14/08/08 08:45 AM My wife drives ours too everyday. Then its my toy on the weekend. I don't see the point in buying a car to sit in the shed. Their fun to drive and that's what their designed for, (not to be parked.) My 2cents.
