I pulled off the intake pipe muffler (it was farked and sucking hot air anyway), I taped it and another split up and now it actually sucks air from behind the headlight. That's gotta add another 3hp. I sh*t you not, with those two things done it goes noticeably better 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/9178/#findComment-1661667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's 150hp from factory. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/9178/#findComment-1661669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nangkang NobleSports on the front are flogged on the shoulders and the rears are near new, but some weird "Grenlander" brand. Judging by the rego docs, Pickles chucked some second hand tyres on to get it to pass.I loved the Goodyear Eagle F1 Directionals on my BA. But Invos are $209 (as opposed to $286) in my size and everyone here seems to like em. Looks like they wear faster based on the ratings, but more than offset by the saving.

Couldn't find 19s, but the 18s in similar width and profile are $82...

I'm sure someone else will be keen to tear them up!
