Hi, im looking for a set of Aurion stock springs...

thnx

Hi I've got a set of stock ZR6 springs but I'm in Brisbane. I can get sent to you if you want to make an offer.

Cheers

Michael

Pretty soon...could be this week even.

Should also see if we can get Michael (51DER) out. He was also talking of selling his car (as they needed something else)...I'll PM him...haven't seen a post from him in a while.

Hey Dave

Car's looking awesome...doing some really good work there, and your attention to detail is flawless...

Damn that car was nice. Did you by any chance take the weathershields and floor mats off?

Thanks...sorry I did rip out the mats, but sold them on ebay real quick.

good point made there.

Yeah as Ash said...cost is a big difference, especially the F6E.

Well this update is a bit of a mixed one, as I now no longer have my fantastic silver Aurion Sportivo ZR6. Its' mixed cause I don't have it and I do miss it, but also as I am now the owner of a Ford (sorry for swearing on these forums) G6E Turbo, and I have found power like I haven't experienced in a car before (not even my previous VY 5.7 litre260 kW HSV Clubsport).

I can partly blame Ash for this from when he bought his XR6 Turbo a little while back, and I kinda got thinking.

The car is brand new and is now a week old. It is a darker blue (Sensation in Ford speak) than Ash's car and is standard, but man does it go. I opted for the G6ET as opposed to the XR6T as being 41 now had to join the cardigan brigade (as they are called on the Ford forums). This is an impressive Q-car.

As good as it goes, there are things the Aurion walks all over it. Things like Keyless entry and smart start (leaving the key in pocket), electric passenger seat, front parking sensors, projector headlamps, etc. Build is really good and it is dead quiet inside (except when you floor it and it sounds great).

Haven't got any photos of it yet as the weather has been crap, but it looks like most of the blue ones at Google Images'

Anyway was a fun ride, but now time to move on. I haven't been to a meet in a while, but will try to get along sometime to say g'day anyway. Still have my Prado so could still legitimately be called a Toyota owner.

Will be putting up some for sale posts soon to sell my exhaust system, Eclipse nav system, speakers, sport grill, etc. Had to make the car standard (apart from wheels and springs) to trade in.

Aurion was up on Bryan Byrt Ford and carsales website till the other day, so may have sold already. Would have been a good buy for someone with only 24,000 km on the clock.

Cheers

Michael

I should be out as well this week. Look forward to seeing Ash's mighty XR6T.

Looks the goods Ash.

I've owned Holdens and an HSV before as well as Toyotas and never really paid much attention to Ford, but I really like the current FG XR6T look, and I've heard they really go. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Cheers

Car's lookin good Steve. One day when I get beck out to a meet, I'll make sure to have a look.

Sorry can't make it this week (haven't been out for a while either).

Got to look after my boy as my wife's away.

im currently in the process of doing this mod to mine (we're waiting on the particular style of LED to arrive from china), and im in perth too... will keep you in the loop as to how it goes ;)

Hey Davo!

Did you managed to do it?

not yet, still waiting... :(

should hopefully have something to show for it by next friday (fingers crossed)

Hi Davo

Did you manage to get this done yet??? Pics...

i saw yesterday,

a really REALLY tidy ZR6 Aurion on my way to uni, gave him the thumbs up, and trying to yell out for him to hit up the website lol :P

plates are ZZZ38 B)

i liked it :o

Evo

Sounds like the same one I saw around Griffith Uni last night.

Spotted along the south-east freeway continuing south whilst I got off at the Klump Road exit near Griffith Uni, 2 Aurion Sportivos with a bit of work done. Don't know if they were travelling together or knew each other.

Silver Aurion Sportivo with shark fin antenna, looks like Pedders lowered suspension - number plate ZZZ-???

Blue Aurion Sportivo - Number plate KIT-33 (or something like that).

Both cars had LED number plate lights but both were really dim so couldn't make them out properly.

Anyone from these forums???

Sorry work commitments have killed this for me tonight. Have a good one.

Hey guys, great plans on coming out tonight got squashed with work. Will try again next week.

Looks great Michael...should also post up some pics of your beast. Reckon there would be some good ones amongst them.

Great to get out for a group photo shoot. 6 Aurions, 1 Yaris and 1 SC Corolla (think I got the numbers right - still tired from the late night).

Look forward to seeing pics.

Thanks again Michael.

Cheers

Michael

Was good to get out again and catch up. A good group of cars and people tonight. Thanks!!!

Hey Steven

Looking good mate...keep up the great work.

Think I may have spotted Daryl heading home for Easter in his new beast.

Hey Daryl, were you heading east towards Warwick on Good Friday 2 April (can't remember time...might be 9:30am). Guess if it was you, you were coming back from up the Newell highway and from Gundi???

Saw a Silver TRD, couldn't make out the plates, but def weren't QLD, and was sure I could see you as you flashed by in the opposite direction.

You wouldn't have recognised me as I was in the Prado with a camper trailer heading bush.

Cheers

Michael

Good one Daryl, can see the grin on your face from here...

Hey Daryl, good one. Go the silver and join the club

Was gonna get out this week (cos it's been a while), but my plans have been sabotaged. Will have to try again next week.

Man...Lee, what a week. Really sorry to hear about this. Take really sucks.

After all the hard work and continuous effort you put into your car, that's gotta hurt. I know from seeing other people with bad hail damage, that cars can look as good as new afterwards.

All the best mate.

Hi Daryl

As has been said many times already, really really sorry to see your pride and joy destroyed so quickly. At the very least you and your dad are alive and well...you cannot put a price on that.

On a positive note, I guess you can now start planning (once insurance is sorted) your new adventure, and I'm sure it is something we'll all enjoy watching.

Take it easy mate, Michael
