Used Penrite Pro Gear 70-75 and I must say it has made a difference. Definitely a bit heavier than the Dexron iii that was in their but 2nd to 3rd gear changes are much smoother now.

Budget is 9 grand. How likely am I to get something nice in a manual? Cheers guys, looking forward to learning as much about these as I have about the rexys, Cal.

aspsheik New Member 3 Member For: 9y 9m 13d Posted 12/03/15 04:22 AM Share Posted 12/03/15 04:22 AM Just another quick question. Is a stock XR6t going to ride more sporty than just a standard non xr? I really liked how agressive the Wrx's steering and handling in general felt. Used to have a VR Calais and It cornered like a boat. Also my mate has always owned stock falcons and I find them to be similar, are the XRs much stiffer and do they turn in nicer that a bog stock EL fairlane for example? If not what does it take to get the slop out of em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fg better than the older ones like a ba but still sh*t. After all it was designed to be a family car then had a turbo slapped on.. it's never gonna handle like a wrx Hell of a lot faster in a straight line though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to have an LJ Torana with a pretty ballsy Buick jn her. So I'm no stranger to loving straight lines and hating corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
