Report post #4 Posted 15/04/04 05:38 AM In Adelaide, stocky Blueprint BA XR6T with hard tonneau at the moment. Awaiting a suitable solution to drivetrain mods (re auto) before ordering either a Phase 2/3 APS or maybe a stage 2 Nizpro. Either way, chasing mid 12's on street tyres. Biggest current hassle appears to be trans limitation. Would really love to have remote hard cover release. Using keys to lock/unlock two locks on the rear is archaic for a 21st century vehicle!I'm surprised there is NOT an aftermarket supplier of a kit yet.Brakes will need upgrading too. That should keep me happy for a while. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Report post #5 Posted 15/04/04 06:19 AM Townsville - Far North Qld here ...Blood Orange with hard cover, 18" rims, GFB Stealth FX bov and Guageworks boost guage.Nice Eclipse Stereo and APS Phase II in about 2 weeks (kit is sitting in the mechanics shed as we speak). Brakes to be upgraded shortly after that. Not real worried about things breaking ... these things are built pretty tough and the little straight line hard work it may do on the street should be easily in its bounds Not about to lower it with the gutters and bumps around town!!Would love the remote lock for the cover and a nicer finish to the HD Towbar in the back skirt. *grumble*Other than that love it every day!Good to see all the utes on here!Cheers,B.Exaresix?
