fletty Member 191 Member For: 12y 11m 23d Gender: Male Posted 23/03/12 05:27 AM Share Posted 23/03/12 05:27 AM (edited) Afternoon EveryoneJust a bit of an update really, Posted my previous ride and introduced my self in members rides last monthhttp://www.fordxr6tu...m-the-dark-sideSince then ive enquired about multiple vehicles, and was approached by Boosted1 to purchase his power hungry xr6t ute!After weighing up my options, Buying something from out of state, with such substantial mod's was going to be a pain to gets passed a nsw Blue Slip without reverting back to stock, or getting everything engineered prior to registration in NSW.After my boss over heard my predicament and frustration with trying to find something I was going to be happy with, he did me a deal on a new FG Turbo which I just couldnt refuse ( I work at hertz car rental's, and we have a remarkably strong buying power when it comes to new vehicles )This past week, a 2012 plated, FG MKII Turbo Sedan 6spd manual in White, with luxury pack, tint, and a few other optional extras, has been put on oder with expected delivery early may *fingers crossed*Couldn't be happier, although the front bar on the new FG has taken alot to grow on me!Depending on when I take delivery, I should already have some mods ready to be done once it reaches the shed at work which will include:Coilovers - Pedders? But also keen on other options?Sway BarTurbo Back Exhaust - X-Force? Never had any issues with them in terms of fitting or quality.Then I think ill just enjoy it for a few thousand km's until I touch the engine:Cooler upgradeCAI and battery relocationF6 or Bigger turboInjectorsFuel PumpSurge TankTuneOnce again, im only new to everything with a blue badge, but ill be aiming for 350+rwkw to begin with, Research tell's me that's about all I can get from the standard turbo without upgrading to a F6 turbo or aftermarket etc?I must say these 19'" wheels that come in the luxury pack are very similar to HSV PENTAGONS...WIll keep this thread updated Edited 23/03/12 05:31 AM by fletty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
