mpsxr6t

Thanks mate . Very nice car however chasing manual. Thanks for the advice! What are diff bushes worth installed? I usually use bluepower?

Hey guys, looking at getting back into an fg turbo manual. Preferably a xr50t. Any potential issues I should really look out for now they are 5yrs old? Also anyone selling I'd be keen... cheers

lol no way would I be having a dose pipe. lol. how good of a finish does that paint give though? I want it to look pretty professional as I've got a few guys wanting me to make them for them..... iboost, thanks mate, they were vertini fairlady 20x8.5 and 20x10

well a tiny update. got a bluepower airbox a week or so ago....feels alot quicker now also today, finally got the bits together to make my intake silencer replacement pipe. except I need one more clamp lol ended up going with 4inch piping then reducing down to 3inches onto the turbo mouth. car has a deeper sound to it now, and spool noise has increased alot. sounds great will be getting the aluminium pipe powder coated black for a more factory look...... its a great mod to open up the fg I reckon. very happy how it turned out. took a bit of tweaking to get the ally pipe right, but it turned out well anyway here is some pics......

looking good mate...the xr50's are a great package...im still loving mine lol...

nice mate, that's exactly the set up I went with, paid $800 at pedders, not dumped but sits nice...I've done 2000km now and no drama's even with some quite spirited driving.....

thanks buddy

worm, nah mate havent re ordered them yet, will do next month.....does look like im copying you this time, ohwell you copied me in the first place, so its all even now haha thanks for the comments guys, plans for the ute are: XR8 bonnet, Polished intercooler-not sure what brand yet, exhaust, tune, injectors, intake, 20's. nothing major, would like a reliable 300rwkw as its a daily... basically just want it to look tough but not go over the top with it.... oh, and normally the hardlids are around 2300 or 2400 fitted with the lid lok system, but I got a much better deal than that cheers

thanks guys.....sadly I sold the xr8, but hoping I can get the ute to look tough/classy like I did with the 8.....

lol yea maybe....speaking of 20s....that's the next mod....next month....20x8.5 front and 20x10 rears.... same as these on my XR8 thanks for your comments fella's

lol yea I better change it... thanks mate, the hardlid is by a place in melbourne called Flat Top, they are in dandenong...got a really good deal with the Lid Lok system. looks alot nicer than having locks poking out the top of the lid I think and it automatically locks once the car starts moving, the same as the doors....and it all runs off my standard factory key/remote

Hey guys, havent really been on here in a couple years since I owned my last turbo ute...since then I've been throwing money at my XR8 lol..... But now im back in a turbo ute. Picked it up 3wks ago, Black, Manual 50th anniversary turbo ute. already had it lowered by pedders, tinted and had a flat hardtop put on with remote locking and no visible locks. got plenty of plans for it but atm im just enjoying it. hope to start getting involved with cruises and stuff like that... Anyway here is some pics of it now.... Cheers

what if I was to replace the standard airbox with a Bluepower airbox? would that need to be tuned on an fg turbo? thanks

Hey guys, I've also got a 50th XR6 Turbo ute on order. in black with the manual. just sold my ba xr8 yesterday.....hoping I've made the right choice lol.... meant to be going down the line somtime in august, but no idea what date yet.....hopefully soon so I can get to modding lol......

ha ha, that's coz it is tab. was a great cruise when we last did it. wanted to do it again... I gave credit to this forum for the cruise route anyway. hope you arent to annoyed?
