XR6T4ME

Thanks for your replies. Well, what can I say.....I have had a smile on my face all day. The F6 is such a waste cruising around, just begging to be given the boot. But I am showing some restraint, every now and then. It is such a joy to drive, cant explain how sedate it feels. That is untill the revs start to climb in a dramatic fashion. I have been using the auto shift in manual mode to alternate the revs. One thing though, as all engines that make some serious power they do get thirsty quickly. But with the odometer only sitting on 150km it is early days and will start to lean off after 3000kms similar to the XR6T. I am loving the new car leather smell, cant get enough of it. One more thing, the look on try hard Clubbies, WRX and Nismos I came across today was priceless when I gave it a little squirt every now and then. They have been coming out like I was a target of some sort. Must have been the area I was passing through. I know - THIS POST IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS. Will try and find a spare minute and put up a couple pics. Now I have to wait another 8hrs before I can sit behind the wheel again..... Cheers.

After ordering in Oct and waiting 45 days for the "demo" period to elapse, I finally get to pickup a nitro F6 Sedan on Monday. Is there anything I should look out for before I sign off and pick up this tame beast? The weather on Monday should be great to learn how to drive these things. So....what is the consensus on a new F6 - drive it like you stole or baby it for a few weeks???? I better change my sig.

Car already ordered with deposit, take delivery in Jan or early Feb.

So true, together with the government Business 50% Bonus Tax deduction and standard annual depreciation it makes for a cheap buy over the coming years. Cant wait!

New Nitro "showroom demo" F6 sedan, approx 20km, 19" dark argents, leather, auto, reversing camera for $61k. Also been quoted $65k on similar spec by other dealers so shop around and squeeze them.....

I have seen the F6 in Vixen and Winter white. Both suit the car, with Dark Argents look great. The White/Black is a bit plain on the F6, great on the GT though with decal stripes etc. I'd go the Vixen.

Thanks for the feedback, helped me decide on the Nitro with dark argent wheels. Vixen was my preferred choice but already have a read car for the missus. Ego or dark greys are everywhere and feel it doesnt suit the F6 as well as lighter colours, that is unless you hate the front racoon eyes. Oh well - 2 months to go and counting....

They are the more popular colours. Would have gone Vixen but already have a red car, Octane is no longer available and Viper looks great today but feel I might get sick of it down the track. Lightning Strike seems too plane jane. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place........ decisions, decisions.....

So guys what do you think re my options???

Need some help with colour choices. I have narrowed down to the Ego or Nitro both with the Dark Argent wheels. But I am a bit concerned with the overall dark look of the EGO as you also loose the front nose "warpaint". Maybe with the standard rims.... I currently have a Blueprint BA and would not mind a change in colour. BUT the Nitro with the dark rims look awesome. Anyone out there with an F6 in Ego and dark argent rims regret their decision? I am stuck and cannot make my mind up.

I am also looking at a F6 sedan. Been offered a showroom model auto with 20km, Viper, Leather, reverse camera and optional dark argent wheels for $64k drive away. What do you think, has anyone had a better deal? Is there much room in these to move? Cheers

Hi guys, My BA XR6T sedan is due for a service, been a bit rough when loading up with a bit of exhaust fuel overburn etc. So I thought now would be a great time to get a mild custom tune, nothing over the top eg 320rwkw. I would be happy with 250-270rwkw. I have no plans to go racing. Which tuners in Melbourne do you guys recommend that is affordable and what flash tuner should I go with. Capa box seems a bit expensive and I hear there a cheaper alternative in the Sniper??? Any good? What else are my options? The only work I have had done is removal of the centre muffler and a CAI. Thanks in advance.

Found a missing bolt from the manifold/turbo resting on the side of the turbo and another quite loose! Refitted and tightened all bolts - problem solved. Thanks again ETM.

Thanks ETM, I will check all the bolts and hopefully I'll find one missing or loose. Cheers

Hi guys, need some help. My BA XR6T sedan is relatively stock other than centre muffler replaced with two hot dogs and custom air intake. All of a sudden, today after going over several speed humps my exhaust began to sound like a truck! Had it checked at a local exhast shop and everything is good underneath. It seems the loud exhasut noise is coming from the engine bay/turbo/exhaust manifold. I took off the heat shields and all the pipes to the turbo and down to the dump pipe seem normal. Rechecked an tightened - no different. Noise is coming from the exhaust header - looked ok from the top, is it possible it could be cracked? Has anyone had a similar problem? Look forward to your reply. Cheers Frank
