xxix Member 12 Member For: 11y 8m 4d Gender: Not Telling Posted 26/06/13 02:38 AM Share Posted 26/06/13 02:38 AM One car I've always missed was my 323. The main reason I missed it was because it was the ultimate sleeper.Wanting another sleeper I needed a good base to start with. As much as I love old cars, the availability of spare parts is getting very thin. I wanted something that had potential to blend in with the crowd and something that was easy to get parts for so I picked up a low K BF XR6T on the weekend.I'm about to go overseas but will get into it once I get back.In basic:-Chaser wheels-Lower and stiffer suspension-Mods to get me to about 350-400kwAnd that's about it 8-)So here it is:First job was to fix the manifold leak I heard when on the test drive. Didn't take long to find:Went through and tightnened all the lose bolts and replaced a couple of missing bolts and a stud.One of the idlers was noisy too, I will get a kit for it in the upcoming weeks but for now I serviced the bearing:New wheels arrived this morning:I will chase down another pair that I will get widened.

I must of been imagining it when my new falcon ute came with chasers, when my parents bf had 16" chasers, when 3 of my ef/el's had chasers.Lots of taxis/ex taxis also run chasers.I see falcons day in day out with chasers.

He merely pointed out that your car is going to be blatantly obvious that it's an attempt at a sleeper. Making it not a sleeper. A real sleeper looks stock but goes like a demon, not a xrT in VR Late model camira burnout spec.I however was mocking your arrogance towards criticism and logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
