He used to work with me until recently.While he was overseas in December I was driving it around and absolutely loved it.He never gave it a hard time and was taken on many a long road trip.I had it on the forums for sale for a little while and there was little interest in it.Glad someone from the forums bought it. Mate you got yourself a good xr6t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about that, that will come in time I have a service coming up, so I'll have to save up a little more cash. Plan to buy all the stuff in bulk (IC, intake, inj, cat and xcal3) and hopefully get myself a good deal. Will attempt the IC and intake install myself with the help of some car savvy mates.Mate you got yourself a decent car there.This car belonged to my very good mate.

Mate you got yourself a good xr6t!Yeah, he seemed like a good enough guy, not someone to go hooning which definitely helped me decide. As well as when I got the car checked out, there was nothing really to fault besides a couple scratches I already knew about and balding front tyres.I take it you work at Ford? Got to see some nice Audi's at his new work when I picked the car up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 24/03/12 10:11 AM Author Share Posted 24/03/12 10:11 AM Another update on the car.Rear rotors and pads have been installed along with painting the rear callipers.My Carbon Fibre wrap came in yesterday, so started attacking the door and console trims.Was surprisingly easy to do, excluding a couple of corners haha.Just used mum's hair dryer to help mould the wrap.The hardest one for me to wrap was the trim piece around the steering wheel.The passenger side trim was fun to get off, as I had to figure out how to remove the glove compartment then get to the two nuts holding the trim piece in.

Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 5m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/03/12 06:28 AM Author Share Posted 31/03/12 06:28 AM Took the car to Castle Hill Exhaust/Performance this morning with my mate (and his SS). Both got the centre mufflers chopped out.In love with the sound already, and the backfire it makes is incredible, but stupidly loud.In comparison to the SS, my car went from quieter, to louder. This is due to the SS having resonators after the centre muffler (which stayed in)Cost me $100, and my mate was meant to pay $120, but they didn't want to bother with $5 in coins, so charged him $115 haha.They have some pretty impressive cars there and I'm very tempted to get my car turned there.
