Pedja Member 42 Member For: 12y 20d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 19/02/13 01:48 AM Share Posted 19/02/13 01:48 AM Hey guys. I bought a brand new xr6 not long ago. And I was wondering if I'm doing the right things. I'm buying a performance exhaust, new ecu/computer, air filter, and give it a tune. Now I was told to put cams in it... But I don't want too cuz I know it'll fck my warranty and I heard cams fck your car up cuz of some sort of shacking or something. I'm very dumb with fords....Any ideas on what's to do? Trying to hit 200kw at the wheels. And one more thing, I want to put a stock fibre glass or carbin fibre body on the car I got money to do it... Just don't know who to turn too..... Any ideas? Reason for stock is I don't want attraction....The car does 0-100 in 6secs already. Later I probs do a turbo or just buy another car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think most big HP NA cars are produced. Never heard of a car with a cam upgrade having problems?Why do you want a fibreglass bodykit? That's just a waste of money and if you have an accident it does way more damage than the stock plastic kit! I highly recommend against it if you're just going to put the same standard kit back on itAnd how did you measure you 0-100 times because 6seconds seems a bit quick for an NA.
