Mods to achieve this are as follows:Necessary Mods:42lb Bosch Green TopsNizpro SpringsRedback Twin 2.5" Quad Exhaust System3.75" Balistic 100cpi Cat into single 3.5" mild steel to a twin 2.5" collector to match the Redback Sytsem (pics can be found here)K&N Filterand of course Xcal2 with custom tuneMods to make it Easier/Safer:4" Mild Steel Dump8psi Actuator SpringHDi IntercoolerStrengthened 4sp AutoCraig Davies Trans CoolerA replacement fuel pump is on the to-do list, but it's holding fuel pressure very well at the moment, so it may have already been replaced by a previous owner, can only really tell once I pull it out.I haven't driven the car yet, but I'm sure I will be happy with it and I will post the Dyno sheet up when I receive it.

31/03/10 11:11 AM31/03/10 11:11 AM #3 Good sh*t ben! Bet u'll be alot happier than when I spoke to ya last! I have had a busy time of late but hopefully give you a buzz next week if your not on holidays and have a look at the dvd player.
31/03/10 12:17 PM31/03/10 12:17 PM #4 Author Much happier with it, makes more power on less boost (12-13psi) and the power comes on a lot smoother.Rolling start @ 40 in 1st just fries the tyresRolling start @ 40 in 2nd starts to break traction at about 80Haven't run through 3rd and 4th, they will have to be left for the strip.Whenever you're ready to do your DVD mate, I have Friday to Monday off this weekend. Might even let you take the koon for a squirt to tempt you into a bigger cooler and exhaust Next stage I guess will be rods, so I'm gonna have to be happy with it for a while.Haven't got the Dyno sheet yet, but will post it up as soon as I do.Cheers,Ben
31/03/10 12:34 PM31/03/10 12:34 PM #5 Dunno if you guys are aware, but weve organised a Dyno night on at RDP next Firday night. Already about 10 blokes from the other forum attending, would be good to see more faces. I might make a thread up for it tomorrow.
01/04/10 10:30 AM01/04/10 10:30 AM #7 Dyno day/night sounds good. Pretty local for me and I might persude a couple of non xrs to come along too. Yeah the dvd player I have to get onto it. ive been lazy. Even if we dont do it man ill head out and have a look at the beast and vice versa. The glass F6 bar is on now and looks heaps better.
01/04/10 11:21 AM01/04/10 11:21 AM #8 Author For sure, I need to check out the fit quality of the glass bar so I can get rid of the tow bar hole in my std one as well I'll be keen to go down to RDP for the dyno night, prob wont run it, but it's aways a pleasure to see high HP cars.Cheers,Ben
