Around the same time I also put a typhoon secondary intake in.Was never happy with how the rear sat on these springs.Got bored with the std 17s on there, so I went for a hunt through the shed and ended up stealing the old mans STD TE50 rims, I liked these rims on there something a little different.Then scored a FPV GT steering wheel for the right price, so on it went.Ended up getting myself some ba gt rims for a steal, and at the same time these came up, I scored some autometre cobalt gauges and a dual (no geniune) pod.after this I saved for a bit, untill someone on here parted with there ba-bf premium brakes with slotted fronts, then I saved some more,then I got a call from the old man to say he has found me a process west surge tank, 4" dump & cat plus 75lb injectors for close to a steal, also had bought some HD vale springs.Dump pipe & Cat75LB injectorsProcess West surge tankHD vale springsSo on saturday just gone, I went down to my tuner simon @ xtreme to pick up my malwood option 3+ clutch kit, and then went down the road and got some pedders coilovers, that brings me to this arvo, so instead of going out and getting plasterd as usual, I stayed in and only slept till 10 rather than 3-4, after talking to a site member about there set up (thanks again) I ended up with this......old front: std front shock and SL kingsnew coilover installedOld Rears: Std shocks with king SSH because they were not low ahahsorry about the dirty car guys.CHEERSJoeySo this weekend coming is clutch, then the car is of to visit simon @ xtreme ford tuning for some dencent figures on the 8th Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75087-joeys-xr6-snail/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
