Kinda new to the xr6T site and got told by SteveR to come here n write some stuff about me n my car so here ya go hahaJosh22Living in duncraigQualified electricianOwn a BA 03 xr6 turboPhantom purpleBought it for $14800My car: I bought my pride and joy about 18 months ago, at the time I knew very little about xr's and got all excited at the fact that I was gettin a powerful car and pretty much didn't do enough research and ended up buying my car with the 5spd time bomb manual gearbox and the whole car wasn't in exactly immaculate condition with 160000kms on the clock.Nevertheless I fkn love my car and have decided to take on the task of basically fixing anything and everything on it and making it something that stands out and at the end of the day I wanna be able to sit down and know that the car is looking and driving the way it should be..Here's a list of the mods I have done since I bought it:Replaced all 4x discs with slotted DBA ROTORSSprayed calipers ford blueLowered on king springsRe-tinted the car to 18% X-force 3" exhaust and 4"dumpInstalled tripod and gauges (coolant temp, voltage and boost)$3000 stereo utilizing the existing ICCReplaced the original motor to an FG xr6T motor with 27000kms on it, professionally done by Simon at XFTFlash tune InjectorsActuatorReconditiond turboMaking 272RWKW20" Vertini Drift rims(black 5spoke and chrome dish)So far I've spent quite alot of money on her and unfortunately the clutch is starting to let go and the gearbox is not far behind. So my goals in the very near future are a fresh respray, T56 gearbox and a beefy clutch. And 350RWKW.Thanks for your time guys and look forward to chattin about sh*te on here.. Hopefully I'll get along to the cruise coming up and get to meet u blokesCheersPs if anybody knows of or can help me out with my next mods (respray, T56 conversion) I'd appreciate any help to save some coin/sweat.
