jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 6m 12d Posted 21/07/11 11:23 AM Share Posted 21/07/11 11:23 AM Hi GuysSort of been hanging around here for the past year or so.. so I thought it was about time I introduce myself officially.This is my FG XRT. Purchased new 12 months ago. First Ford (apart from acouple of GT,s over the years) after owning a string of HSV' since the early 90's.An extremely refreshing change, and loving it. Same old story as from what Ive gathered with alot of you on here.. Im not going to modify. Happy to keep it stock... FAIL !!So..Ill give you a quick run down on what Ive done so far.. and I guess in the order of aswell.1. Surfacetech stone guard protection. Clear film that covers complete front bar, guards,bonnet and rear vision mirrors. I hate stonechips. Brilliant stuff, highly reccomended2. New rear bootlid and G6 lip spoiler- debadged & G6 bootlid liner3.XR8 airbox and K&N..4. Kings and Koni suspension5. Simmons wheels (originals) FR19's 9&10 inch respectively. Kumho KU31 245/35 & 275/30 (grippy but noisy)6.Brembo 6 & 4spots.. bebco braided lines7.FPV GS exhaust mouldAnd that's about it..so far. Just getting round to engine mods.. but no rush.Have ran it at WISD.. stock, bar intake and rubber and managed a 12.8 @ 109mphSo there we have it. Must say this site has been a wealth of information.. so thanks guys..and hope to catch up on a cruise sooner than laterCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of knew how I wanted it to look before I even purchased it. Less is more attitude I guess.Yeah 12.8 isnt too shabby for a stocker. But in saying that, probably one of the best mods you can do to get these things quicker is to give them traction. Makes all the difference.

I was lucky. Costly bit was getting them re-dished.. twice!! Suprisingly it rides really good. Smoother than stock. After past experiences with Bilstiens and the like, I went for the Koni reds. Pat at wholesale sort of pushed me that way too. More than happy I did. Coupled with the lower profile tyres its firm but not jittery or thumpy.P.S.. on the hunt for a FG F6 rear muffler and tip assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty much the epitome of understated class. Well done.(I gotta say tho I reckon a Lada Niva would look good with FR19's on it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same color which is also debadged. I must say your rear wheels fill up the guards nicely. Could you tell me what off-set on the rears and if they rub at all.
