G'Day all,

First heard about this site from my foreman at work when I was looking around at buying a XR6T

About 11 months of reading around about the BA-BF range and seeing the differences and what I should be looking for whilst buy. During this time I had been looking through carsales, locals and even gumtree at one stage, until I found one that caught my eye. Ended up buying myself a 2nd (maybe 3rd) hand BF MkII XR6T in Conquerer Blue with Premium sound, dual zone climate. Drives like a dream and wish I had bought one sooner but didnt have the funds for it at the time.

Site has definately helped me get some of the information needed and no doubt will assist me if im looking to go for 300+rwkw (already have threads bookmarked).

Thanks to everyone for the useful information I have acquired over the numerous threads I've read

Just thought I'd share some photos that were taken after I had my new car professionaly detailed

I like the xr50 rims, they look good on most colours. What's with the bonnet does air actually flow through or just for looks

Yeah I'm a fan of the rims...just a shame you can't really fit bigger brakes under them. Bonnet was a custom job by the previous owner, there are holes in the scoops (XB GT scoops I was told) in there so air will flow through...but it's mainly a looks thing I think.

looks mint mate, how long have you had her and how much did you get her for.

I've got the same car mate. Nice ride but one down fall keep a microfiber cloth in the car cause the centre of the dash pics up every bit of dust and stands out like dogs balls.:D

I've had her for about a month now. 2010 model with 40,000kms on it. I paid $28K. Previous owner had the car from new and had fitted an SS Growler CAI, pedders springs to lower it an inch and some cheap jobby $450 CAT back 3" exhaust from ebay. Generally in pretty good condition, bonnet and possibly front bar may need a respray as there is what looks like a screwdriver gouge out of the bonnet and a whole bunch of sotne chips too, and that scratch you can see in the front right hand portion of the bumper (which I only noticed after it was detailed)...if I decided it bothers me and want to be picky. Pretty stoked with it so far, I can definitely see how easy it would be to get bitten hard by the mod bug. I've already purchased a short shifter and some new diff, gearbox and engine oil from mainlube.

Oh and yep, I can see how the centre of the dash will be a fingerprint and dust magnet. I think the dash, being black, and not silver is one of the things that attracted me to this model. Looks a little less pov pack than the standard silver dash
