I REALLY wanted either an ED or EL XR6 for my first car...but parentals wouldn't let me have a 6 cylinder for my first car...so I ended up with a farking Mondeo instead. Admittedly, it took a bloody beating! Flogged the piss out of it literally everywhere and it lasted me like 4 years. I can vouch that it did 200kph...several times, ripped mean reverse "max doughies in the gravel" and loved handbrakies. 

BUT I still wanted an EL XR. Would still kinda like one as a project car (also a supra, coz fast and furious and tututututu), throw a turbo motor in one just for funsies...but I'm pretty non skilled with the mechanicals, so would be too expensive.

U mean like this one that was at my tuning course ;)

The red door stripes are now pink! I've got some GLi ones to spray so I don't wreck the originals.

Wouldn't mind turning this one into a project, especially as it's pretty clean inside and out. Some days I think I should keep it original, other days I start googling superchargers...

These were new when I was getting my Ps, and I loved them. Bought this one 5 years later.

I reckon I've seen that one a couple years ago when we lived in Rads. Can't be too many white ELs with B-series turbo motors getting around Adelaide.

We were both drying our cars at the car wash at Gilles Plains. Looked like two stock EL XR6s with just tints and exhausts, until he lifted the bonnet...

My engine bay looks a bit tame by comparison:

You dont have issues running smaller rears? Or cause similar rolling diamter then all sweet? 

I did a short drive a while back with 245/35/19 fronts and 245/40/18 rears (only 1.something% difference) and seemed fine? 

Got some skid tyres I wanna burn off before I change the tyres and im lazy and cbf taking the front wheels off lol
