Barry Blue

Well done Asromanut! If he had won my life would not be worth living BUT that's NOT THE CASE SO LETS ALL CELEBRATE!

The best part is the reflection of the XR in the tailgate

How many K's on the clock?

I use Maguires Canauba Wax, smells great like bananas, very easy to use,(wax on wax off), can use it as often as you like, but I use it about every 2 months, I usually wash my car with plain water, only if its very dirty (mud) I use a special canauba wax based car wash (no brand as my mate is a detailer and gets it in bulk), I always chamois every crack & nookie (inside doors, under bonnet etc) Finally a quick spray around the tryes with Armorall Tyre Foam, Its cheap its easy and looks good! All pretty basic stuff really cheers B.B.

IT's good to live on a border! That way I can jump sides if one side is losin.(Live in NSW but call myself a Queenslander) Now I'm confused

That's why l didn't get them <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The mud spats are good protection,but what I did to stop them rubbing the paint was stick clear film on the paint underneath the spats. I bought the film as DIY headlight protectors, its quite a thick clear plastic with sticky on one side, can't even see it's there! B.B.

14months old and done 9000K's Average 142K's a week Average 20K's a day I reset my average consumption & speed often but I get 11.2l per 100k on a trip 15.6l per 100k around town 18.2l per 100k towing my boat (1200kg). B.B.

What power figures do you run now Eugene? and did you come to the Gold Coast to have your exede fitted? cause you said thanks to Steff. B.B.

You guys are makin me feel like an old fart! B.B.

XR6 Turbo Badges sell as a complete set for $55 per set. I used the "Turbo" on the front guards, and have used "XR" on the silver panel above the glove box and on the back of the centre consol. B.B.

So there I was, cruisin the Highway from Newcastle to home (Gold Coast) only to catch up to a silver dunnydoore VYSS, which I wasted no time in trading places (as I do!). At this stage I'm pretty well kicked back with a bit of slow traffic up front, but alas theres my favourite sign, "Overtaking lane ahead 300m". Time to sit up a bit in the seat and prepare to blast off as the road forks, but hang on, it looks like Mr SS is trying to insert his right driving light into my exhaust pipe, which left me with only one option, right foot planted, kicked back to 2nd gear and hold my nose closer to the windscreen (to make it go faster of course). The clear lane in front was heading up a very steep hill and the freak behind me (with stupid smug grin on his face) was stickin like sh## to a blanket, then both lanes were clear so I elected to switch into the left lane and see what this Bozo had! (besides this was the stage when my wife started to hit me) ,but still, foot planted and gathering speed the SS stayed out there to pass me, but to his dismay was slowly losing ground (no chance in the world). I felt great about all this, because what I have'nt told you was that he was travelling alone where I had four adults and a boot packed to the hilt with luggage & suitcases, I'm stoked! B.B.

How loud does that get Geea? BB

You have done it again JB! Excellent detail is makin it real easy for me, thanks again pal. B.B.

You guys have been great! I wish I found this site a long time ago, well explained JB and Eugene was right that I should point out what I'm after in a car. My goal is for a family car with about 240-250rwkw (just so I know Ive got the edge on most crapp Holdens ) with a little more exhaust note would be nice too. By the way Eugene, I origonally come from Newcastle and still visit my mate at Merewether twice a year (inc Xmas), he just bought a new Liberty GT which I drove and thought it was gutless. There was a suggestion of a second CAI (possibly XR8) I could use more info on this subject please also is removing the middle muffler too loud or cause any computer probs? Thanks again B.B.

Hi Guys, I'm the new kid on the block! (at 47 I'm sure to grow up soon ). My T is stock, but I'm real keen on changing the exhaust (for both performance & sound) and adding a piggyback puter. APS seem to have a good set up, but I've been offered Exede at better prices, any advice from you experienced guys would be muchly appreciated, thanks

My T is auto, towing a 1200kg boat is a piece of cake, and still flogs Mr Average off the lights.
