Well, I've been on here for a while lurking in threads and seeing what everyone has been doing to their cars. Now, it is my turn to showcase what ive been playing with since February of this year.

In early Feb, I made the drive with a mate of mine from Melbourne to Canberra on a rather crappy weathered Saturday to go and look at the car. We left at 5am, and I did the 7hrs straight in the G6E company car (thanks to Bunna who I am unfortunately directly related to).

When I looked at it, the car was in this sort of a condition:

Naturally, I could see the cars potential that I decided to rescue it from its previous owner who was exactly as you would picture. The mods it had were:

- Coilovers in the rear (front had been taken out and replaced with Pedders springs. They were however still handed over in the sale)

- Xforce Full turbo back exhaust. 4" Dump to 3.5"

- 60lb injectors of unknown origin (I thought they might have been Siemens).

- A completely terrible tune which ran like crap and proved not to reach the claimed 341KW with the 2 above engine mods (why would it).

With the help of Ratter, we got the car into a RWC state to get it in to Vic Reg, and then started with some fun. We got rid of the 60lb injectors and replaced them with ID1000's. Bolted the fun bits on and she made 310kw at the wheels. I was quite impressed with the results and all credit to Mick who has the greatest customer service of anyone in the industry. The constant updates and guidance were absolutely fantastic and I cant thank him enough. Especially because there will be more to come....

So after we made the car actually drivable and not a PITA, it looked a little more stealth but when you put your foot down, no matter what mood you were in it would make you smile and giggle like a 12 year old kid who was just told a dirty joke.

It has basically become my weekend car, as I was public transporting to the city for work during the week. So it was this way from then until today, where I spent the last 2 days doing suspension and wheels. When I bought the car, it came with standard suspension, as well as Pedders 2624 front springs, as well as the coilovers. So in the above pic were the standard springs. The car sat just like that until I decided to put the Pedders fronts back in and wanted some matching rear springs. Got those done on Monday, then today took it to The Wheel Deal in Bayswater to have my Lenso OP1's fitted. The car looks unbelievable.

The car was filthy dirty before that photo, so I drove it to the Water Tunnel and back. The guy working there asked me all sorts of questions about the car and how much power it had. I think he was a fan :), he was also a fan of Pitlane and said he liked the G6E that they have that he saw at some event. He was gobsmacked when I pointed out that is Belinda's car

So the outside work has been completed. I will try and get my left front guard rolled a little more, as the left front rubs on driveways and such, but not during normal driving. The Engine is always a work in progress and something like the process west 2.3 kit for BA-BF is what I will look to in a year or so. Interior wise, I put a sunroof in it just in time for winter and last week wired in a Pioneer X7500BT to go in the tissue holder. It runs all its power off the blue plug behind the fuse box and RCA to aux plug behind fuse box leads.

An absolute beast with the looks to match. One very happy owner

With its looks, the number plate might come true. They didnt have 1BJ-1HJ at the time :P

Good to see someone bought this car and is actually looking after it. Those rims look awesome.

Very nice man. very nice. The rims on mine were gutter shagged as well. And the shadow chromeness seemed to be very patchy as well. Prob due to caked on brakedust and lack of cleaning.

It also had rust in the boot channel in the rear right. I got that taken care of a couple of weeks ago.

the paint on mine is pretty good. There are a few surface scratches that I've found, but are very inconspicuous. I've also noticed a clear coat crack in the rear bumper.

The front bar needs a respray as well due to all of the stone chips.

Also, mine has a tow bar. Not sure when it was put on, but they cut the rear bumper in the middle bottom to fit it. It's handy, but not sure to keep it or not.

Well and truly rescued

you always did that weird eyebrow thing when I mentioned the XR8. That look that means, yes you should but I'm going to pretend to be disapproving

Plus, you know, snail shaped pussy magnet
