Joshy Member 15 Member For: 18y 1d Posted 18/09/08 08:27 PM Share Posted 18/09/08 08:27 PM Yeah that would probably be about right. I saw a similar car (Ego BF XR6 with Low Kays) in Canberra but it had been trashed, go for 18K, big scrathes/scuffs over multiple panels and gearbox problems. Funny they didnt mention the gearbox problem until the auction, no mention of it at all in the conditon report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the look of the condition report they are quite lazy as to what goes on it or stays off it....... Went out today to try and get the engine and vin numbers but they were cleaning it behind a fence, once cleaned it looked quite good, but I spose im in a good position as ive seen it in the state that the previous owner had left it though.....

Yeah I will be, I already have a list.....1. Injectors (Siemens Deka)2. Fuel pump (walbro)3. Intercooler (rapids high flow v2 kit/or v3??. in black)4. Cat 3.5 inch/Exhaust (complete 3inch or 3.5?? , with straight through muffler)5. EditSounds ok everybody???And was also wondering when I buy these mods should they be installed or wait until the tune??I live in Hobart and would have to drive to Melbourne for a tune.......Are any of these mods safe to do with out a tune, realistically???

The cooler will be ok to fit, just keep an eye on the boost (so fit a boost gauge if you can) but it shouldn't overboost with the stock exhaust.Go 3.5" for the exhaust as a 3" isn't really any better than the stock one.The cat, injectors and fuel pump are best fitted when the tune gets done, as all these things on a stock tune will make your car die!

If you know a good exhaust shop I'm sure they can help you out also.With the Rapid cooler there is a littel bit of trimming involved, but it really is only small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
