***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 11y 6m 21d Gender: Male Posted 28/10/13 12:25 PM Share Posted 28/10/13 12:25 PM I recently bought this 2011 G6E TURBO. It's white with black leather interior and 78,000kms.Previously I've owned: 1994 Toyota Lexcen (VR) 1994 Nissan Skyline GTS25t 5sp 1996 Nissan Skyline GTS25t 5sp 1989 Expensive Daewoo VN Late model camira 5L 304ci 1993 Nissan 180SX SR20DET 5sp 1989 Expensive Daewoo VN Late model camira 3.8L 2000 VX Clubsport R8 5.7L A4 (now M6) 1997 Nissan S14 S2 SR20DET 5sp 2002 WH2 Expensive Daewoo Statesman 5.7L A4I still own the VX Clubsport R8 which will be my weekend/fun car.So far I'm loving the G6E Turbo, especially the ZF auto and how easy and smooth the car is to drive. I don't have any big plans for it other than maybe some 19" wheels and a tune. I'd like to keep the car as quiet and comfortable as possible for a change.Since buying the car I've clayed, polished and applied a synthetic sealant (Duragloss 2 stage). I also plan on painting the silver painted parts of the grille and foglight surround black and will also remove the towbar when I get a chance. I've also thought about getting the chrome window surrounds done in piano black but unsure yet. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86640-my-first-ford-g6et-love-it-so-far/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be long before the G6ET becomes your fun car. Any plans to tune it or are you going to enjoy the factory power for a while first? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86640-my-first-ford-g6et-love-it-so-far/#findComment-1436683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be long before the G6ET becomes your fun car.Any plans to tune it or are you going to enjoy the factory power for a while first?I do plan on getting a tune. I'd like to try and see what it'll make while keeping the exhaust very quiet and the intake as silent as possible.My friend has an FG XR6 Turbo with 4" intake and metal cooler pipes, it sounds good but not what I want from/for this car. I'm enjoying the quiet ride for a change lol. 4 - Use Plasti Dip mate for the fog light surrounds and grille if you change you mind later you can take it off.Yeah I already bought the plasti-dip just in case I don't like the black lol.I already fitted DBA T2 Slotted front rotors and QFM HPX pads. The old ones were squealing like crazy and had some shudder. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86640-my-first-ford-g6et-love-it-so-far/#findComment-1436717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
