bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 21y 3m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 23/04/09 10:59 PM Share Posted 23/04/09 10:59 PM Ramon's F6F is definitely up there, and he's spent a bundle. Beautifully presented.My XR6T8U was THE pioneer in big engine mods, brakes and handling as a street car, 10" rims etc (from back in 2004), was dead, but did a Lazarus with same engine, drivetrain and brakes into a F6 body, and still lives. Still has the highest trap mph of any manual over the 1/4.Spiko went over the top with one of the biggest turbos I've seen on an XR6T, the most head work I've noted on an XR6T, but Spiro unfortunately cut short his foray into drag racing. That car was set up to drag race, and was fitted with roll cage and NOS. It would have been good to see it run a 9 sec pass, as it had the capability.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkayne Member 203 Member For: 15y 3m 14d Gender: Male Posted 26/04/09 12:22 PM Share Posted 26/04/09 12:22 PM Considering he put $80,000 worth of mods, and only produces 360rwkw is an honest joke. Even if he did put better breaks, suspension, tires, etc etc on it.I'd be spewing if I gave $80k to a tuner and they gave me back that car. Even with the extra safety control.

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.

dmosconi Member 97 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Gender: Male Location: Perth WA Posted 26/04/09 01:29 PM Share Posted 26/04/09 01:29 PM Nice Buy, Good coinage for what’s been done to it, nicely done.It’s got a whole lot of potential, with all that suspension and brakes it’s more a circuit racer than a straight liner, no good having +400-500rwkw if you break out cornering and bang it up.But playing Devils advocate, I have looked into this, weighing up to mod or not, it’s a BA, low k’s yes, modded to the hilt with big $$$ spent yes, but, if it was to get written off, is the insurance company going to pay up? I know Shannon’s wont insure a heavily modded car without it carrying engineering certificates and it having the licensing passed as it is, with all the modds. Red book value on a 03 BA is $16-18k, could you live with losing that much $$?Myself, I have decided to upgrade to the F6 in 2010, 310kw is enough for me, only modded “T” will beat it and an occasional other car, I can live with another “T” beating it where all in the same family.

Back to the drawing board for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
