Unichip Xr6 Turbo Upgrades
Hmmmm No Prices yet....people were saying that if its like their WRX kits you should be looking around 6 to 8 Gs(Phase IV that is)? Brings the total to Just a smidge over the XR8 and still short of the GT...with the advantage of 300 odd RWKW

Just A Thought
Jsut because I'm not as fortunate as some to have X amount of Z cars in the last Y years doesnt mean I cant have a valid opinion. I see you dont have a Turbo yet...So are you muzzled in your views yet? I see you believe your not.

Electronic Rust Prevention?
Yeah its just Sacrificial Cathodic(Bless their little hearts) Protection.We had an aftermarket one installed in our EA...it rusted out!Found out it was installed utterly incorectly..ie no annodes... In our EB (where it was installed by a Auto Electrician who knows what hes doing)it still has no rust over a YEAR later and we are a stones throw from the beach and the air is so salty you dont need to season steak.

Big Wheels
QUOTE (saleen1 @ Jun 8 2003, 05:03 PM) I have 19's. Look great, but what does the rubber cost to replace and do they actually improve grip and/or handling? Maybe...but the cool status points are worth far and away more than 1000 Pirellis...

Ford's New Harvest Green

It's Fast
5th is about .75 in the manual and 4th is .68 isnt it?So the auto would(technically)have a higher top speed...but then theres aerodynamics and other power losses in the equation

New Clarion Speaker
Illegal to make a hole? Anyway a "Free-Air" sub isnt going to be the best option...I know its Doof Doff Ricey but if your going to Upgrade the Sub Box them up. Im sure someone here can do the Arthimetic to design a tuned enclosure to box a nice sub properly...Jaycar have some nice 8" im pretty sure and most of their Theile-Small stuff too.

Rolls-royce Unveils The New Phantom
Hmmm almost 500 T's???25 is a bit closer isnt it? 10,000 dollars for insurance and you'd be worried?its 1/100 of the price of the car of about or around $440 for you people. Perhaps the Headline should be:BMW screws the Dog.Even the Luxary cant hide the ugliness. Oh its also $1,000,000 and DVD is STILL an option

Eb Modifications
He almost went for a drive in the Boss 260 Manual but after he started and revved the thing he didnt want to drive it..."I wanna buy it on the Note alone" but 50odd Large for an Pensioner Painter is just a bit too much... Unfortunately the Local(60Km Away)dealer hasn't got any XR's at all on stock any more so I just gotta catch one of you guys in my home town one day...Preferably in Blood Orange... Coming for a cruise to North Coast NSW guys? Otherwise I suppose waiting a few years till some of these Second hand Speed machines hit the road isnt that bad...
