Terror07 Member 5 Member For: 12y 8m 5d Posted 14/09/12 02:27 AM Share Posted 14/09/12 02:27 AM Hey Guys, First time poster here and interested to hear others thoughts on my idea to swap my much loved 2004 xr8 auto for a 2002 xr6t manual (5spd) with a family member. Mine has 180k on it citric acid in colour. Has leather interior and is in really good nick. Well better then many others I've seen.. My family member has the xr6t with 250k on it phantom purple and cloth seats mated with the 5 speed manual.. Both cars are stock and we have both owned since close to new.. Both cars have mags fitted and mine has had ssl springs fitted but the shocks were not changed.. Basically I know I'm asking on a turbo forum so support for the turbo would be more popular but wouldn't mind getting a few ideas that's all.. Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83049-should-i-buy-this-xr6t-merged-topic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way you will get the 6spd manual trans that is basically bullet proof.Take a quick look in the classifieds section to get an idea of the prices for a well looked after, modified XR6T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83049-should-i-buy-this-xr6t-merged-topic/#findComment-1294727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda was thinking about building an engine and some kind of 3 spd maybe a 4 spd auto for it in the future.. I have a ttg as my main driver so this one will be for play.. Which I will probably gut pretty early on..

Just keep in mind that the 250k was not done by just the motor. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83049-should-i-buy-this-xr6t-merged-topic/#findComment-1294735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
