Another Xr6 Turbo (pic heavy)

[Joey]

Hey guys,
So this is my ba mk2 xr6 turbo, manual, and had 42,000kms on the clock when i picked it up. Also comes with premo sound :)

about 3 days after buying it i went out and got some king springs for it Sl front and SSL rears not 100% happy with how it sits needs more low.

Also got a K&N filter while i was at it, & the typhoon secondary intake, so a little bit of cutting and filing and this.

<a href="http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/stylz6t9/?action=view&amp;current=DSC01295.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/stylz6t9/DSC01295.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/stylz6t9/?action=view&amp;current=DSC01294.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/stylz6t9/DSC01294.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>.

So after this i got bored with the wheels i had on it so i stole some Te50 rims on the old man.
<a href="http://s216.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/stylz6t9/?action=view&amp;current=DSC01747.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc170/stylz6t9/DSC01747.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

But i ended up getting some Ba Gt rims and settling on them for now.

Then i ended up getting a Stock replacement cooler as im not chasing massive figures atm. Sprayed matt black.

I also have some simmens 60lb injectors, a Xcal 3 sitting here waiting, all i want to do it get a mal wood option 3 or 3+ clutch and get some valve springs for peace of mind.

After i have had the car tuned i plan on getting some coilovers and some sway bars to make the suspension better, & to upgrade the brakes on it.

Cheers hope you enjoy.

Skid Pics not loading...

[Torquen]

Wouldn't bother upgrading clutch until your one shits its self. I'm assuming you've got the 6spd manual so the clutch should be good for < 260rwkw for a while.

Who's tuning it/going to tune it??

Also remove stock spoiler, then add Force 6/8 bootlip spoiler FTW :D

[Joey]

Simon from xtreme will be doing the work to my car, I will be getting around 280-300rwkw well this is what I am chasing and the standard clutch is clapped out ATM,

I was thinking a ford lip or a djr spoiler and skid pics not working haha

[thommo]

yeh the springs arent as low as they claim, i was disappointed too when i installed mine.

the lip would be a nice addition also

[Torquen]

You'll be very happy with the car once Simon's done with it :)

Personally I don't like the DJR spoiler (bit biased as I had the Force6/8 lip on mine)... but it doesn't require a new/welded boot so that's a plus.

I also had the F6 twin plate clutch but for what they cost I'd go the Mel Woods option if I had my time again.

[sprint347]

On another note, has the old man got a TE50?

Details?

[Jizz-Lebrity]

Yep, I was also disappointed with the SSL rears on my old F6.

Went SSSL, problem solved.

Also, Pat @ Wholesale Suspension in Penrith (Sydney) is the guy to talk to about Falcon coilovers and what not, whether you're after budget BC/XYZ coilovers, your more mainstream Teins, and even custom built Koni and Bilstein units etc.

Good luck with the build :)

[Joey]

Kael your phoon look tough az, thanks for the contact I'm in Perth wa though still give it a shot

[Jizz-Lebrity]

Cheers.

I'm in Perth as well and have had all my suspension supplied via Wholesale. They're way cheaper than outlets in Perth, especially if you DIY install.

[Joey]

What set up you have in your car? And if you could pm me the details on rough cost?
Cheers

[Joey]

Quick update,
Picked up some ba/bf premium brakes, got them last night and fitted the fronts when I got home, just waiting to do the rears, will upload pics when done.

[-Luke-]

Haha you dont mess around mate :)

[Joey]

Not a chance haha got home had the first one done in 20-30mins the next one took a while As I had a few drinks haha

[Dirty32]

Hey Joey,

I have an AP Twin Plate (from the F6 - the one Torquen was talking about) that I pulled out of my ute and have no use for that you can have cheap if your keen?

[Steppo_GT]

Your springs don't seem very low at all... I have super lows all round in mine and the front tyre scrapes the guard on full lock and back is tucking tyre, and I manage to just clear speedhumps

You have 19s and a heavier motor and your parked on an angle over the top of a bump in WA Suspension driveway...

they are AU springs at a guess. the springs i had in mine were originally from an AU and it was alot lower than the BA springs.

[Joey]

The ba springs are shiat, not as low as they claim.. That's why I also figure coilovers so I can set it how I want

[Joey]

So i have been busy saving money and recently i came across a few things that i thought would go well on the car :)

Nice one mate, how'd you go setting the rear shock lengths?

[Gleeso]

Looks waaay better, and coilovers look better too :p

[Joey]

Rear shocks, all did was set it to lowest on each the rears are as low as possible
