I feel much more at ease and can start saving hardcore as of right now.Still got a nice enough car to drive around in and it's in the shop this break while I'm away getting a stereo fitted so I'll still have all the connectivity and music sh*t my VF had (but a sh*te load better quality!)...so should keep me happy enough putting around town for a few years while I save as much money as possible and owe no-one a damn thing!My friend had one of them. Nice inside and smooth engine. Was quiet and pleasant to drive, perfect daily imo. And the fuel economy was awesome you'll probably use half what the v8 did 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/597/#findComment-1546092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fitted it so that I can figure out how the fck I need to mount the battery bracket in place of the standard air box so I can then fit the 4in intake in the batteries original location...

Today I adjusted the front whiteline swaybar to the stiffer setting (I forget what size bar it is, its NOT the thickest v8 one). Driving it home the car felt really nice, and had the added bonus of the ceramic coating smelling, well, really smelly.
