yeah, i agree... the xr8 bulge is hot...

i'm looking at a fiberglass bonnet that has the buldge, but also vents... looks fuqn sweet...

ride height will be sorted out soon... i've ordered the parts, but just gotta wait till they come in... :)

based off all the bitching and moaning that went on last time about the aussie cars being there, i'm obviously not welcome... lol

im keen to come if someone wants to give me a ride though... :D

Mate that's a very tidy ride you have there, cant wait to see it when you have finished with your mods.

If you still looking for speakers i can recommend Alpine Type X, i had them in my Calais, they sound great, plus you can set speaker location distance and all sorts of cool stuff.

thanks mate.

i'll prolly end up going with Focal's because i've had them before i loved them... :)

Yes! Mate that is hot. Actually if you removed the turbo badges it would be one hell of a sleeper :)

I wouldn't tint those tail lights, I think they match the car perfectly as they are.

i think you're right... after having a good look at the car over the weekend, tinted tail lights would like kinda outta place..

turbo badges will remain until i've got like 5000000rwkw...

nice ride dude. you got some pics of the interior? I drove a xr6 (non turbo) hire car in the same colour :D but one small thing that bugged me was the inside door handles, is the door lock meant to be flush with the handle when locked? it wasn't in mine, looked like it was semi unlocked.

i'll take some pics of the interior now that the leather has been put in... i LOVE the leather job... its really really classy and yet a little 'sporty' at the same time... :D

The Cuzco is a better looking wheel out of the two options you listed. Just keep in mind you need to go with a wheel with strength if you are chasing high horsepower, tearing the hub from the spokes isn't a good look.

Are those photos taken under the Riverside Expressway?

I'll assume you know what mods are required as I don't look at the Falcons/Commos; but make sure you take it to the track!

Ninja edit: Go with a CES exhaust ;)

hmmmm, do you really think that <400rwkw would be able to rip the wheels apart!?

i could understand with mega power, but for under 400rwkw i would have thought itd be okay...

yeah, those photo's are from under the riverside expressway...

ray took some good shots at kangaroo point, so i'm sure he'll post them up once he gets a chance... :)

i was going to go with the CES exhaust, but at the end of the day, i'm a tightar$e...

went with xforce cause it does the job and its half the price... HAHA

the std exhaust on these cars are good for like 300+rwkw... so the xforce should be fine... :)

Its Auto Isnt it? Doesnt really matter the ZF's are a pretty good AUTO but still manuals are more fun. Anyway, dont mind the colour. looks neat under those orange lights. One thing with the T's is that I have been told that in one of the Mufflers one side is blocked/restricted or some ****. Zorst would be high on my power chasing preformance upgrades list. Other than that they arnt a bad car. Be interesting to hear your remarks on Build Quality compared to the Toyota/TRD's? Keep us posted.

A little Fun in an XR6T

Sorry about the camera

the ZF is a great box... i'd rate it a lot higher than manual for the type of driving i do... :)

not sure where you got that info about the exhaust mate, but from all my research, the std exhaust (using a high flow cat) is good for 300+rwkw...

so far the build quality is on par (if not better) than the trd... but only time will tell if it stays like that... :)

Love it Ash... ive driven a 400HP XR6T and let me tell you it was a really nice drive until it snapped onto boost haha! i hope you make it go crazy!

thanks mate, i wont be going TOOOO crazy on it... well, too crazy for an xr6t anyway...

std, i think they're pretty nuts as it is... haha

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

yeah, we gotta catch up...

i've always been a ford man... but the new VE range from holden is pretty damn good!

they were almost good enough to pull me away from the ford...

i almost didnt even bother looking at the ford until rowan talked me in to it... SOOOoooooo happy that i did!

I'm not a fan of Fords but that sure looks like a nice car. Every time I look at it though, I keep thinking of cop cars . Anyways, happy driving Ash.

yeah, its actually quite funny... if you go flying up behind someone, you see them slow down... i'm thinking of getting a sticker made up and put on my front windscreen that says "I'm not a cop"...

Congrats on the new car,I agree with SD that Cuzco rims are far better suited...

Could you humour me? a pic with your Buddy clubs on if you still have them :D

you want a pic of the ford with the buddy clubs on it?

cant do that cause i dont have the buddy clubs anymore... they went with the trd...

if you want to see a pic of them on the trd, then check out the trd members ride page on here... ;) :)

c*nt do a skid

what... another one?

but i just did one! :P hahaha

scared the SH!T outta my brother-in-law on sunday...

came into a round about too fast (didnt see it coming LOL), so just got on the gas and let the ***** hang out...

worked quite nicely i thought...

currently on the hunt for the ipa file...

looks AWESOME... just need to lower it now... :D

i know its not a toyota... if you dont want to read it, just click the "X" button up the top... i dont wanna hear your sh!t if you have nothing nice to say... ;)

well, after going through 5 cars, i thought it was about time i released my inner bogan...

i work and live in the Ipswich Council area, so it was just natural for me to go down the bogan route...

its a brand new 2010 Ford Falcon XR6T in Nitro...

it has a custom leather interior which is black with blue stitching and "XR6 TURBO" embossed into the headrests...

my previous car to this one was a TRD Aurion... whilst the aurion was great, it was severly lacking in a few areas...

one of my major problems with it was that any mod that i wanted to do, had to be custom made... and we all know that custom = $$$$$$$..

on top of that, to squeeze any more power out of the trd, was close to impossible without spending a sh!tload of coin...

not much in the way of mods yet...

but here is the car and what i plan to do to it over the coming years... the end aim is to have about 350+rwkw, good suspension setup and a good stereo...

cya

ash

must have been an absolute cnut of a job to do though!!! :(

hmmmmm, do i want to do my falcon lights?

why does all the good **** happen AFTER i leave... :(

someone fill me in... :D

to be honest, a yaris would have been more enjoyable to drive!

mick: i wish it was the xr5t... its the sh!tty normal one.. :(

steven: true... but it still sucks!

i'd prefer a corolla sportivo over this pos! and THATS saying something...

*poke*

fuqn cnuts!!!!!

they gave me a ford mondeo... omg, seriously, worst. car. ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(

you can buy them from toyota for the same amount (or less)... granted they dont come with tyres, but with tyres like that guy is offering, why would you want tyres!?

you'd have more grip rolling on just the wheels...

DO IT! you wont regret it!!

its better than the aurion in every way, imo, so far...

who knows what will happen in the future, it is a ford, so chances of something breaking is quite high...

not that my toyota was reliable...

i spoke to soon... :(

car goes tomorrow to get the leather put in... so wont have my car till friday night i think... :(

i'll still come, but i'll be in some other POS ford...

nah dave... its 41 OLZ... cant you read?

well, thats the look you're after no?

a smoked look will be nicer than just a plain tinted look, imo..

hahahaha, i'm not loosing it... well, okay, maybe a little...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLZ...

did i hear "bush mechanics round 2"?????

daryl: stop driving like a loony and you wont get pulled over!!! :P hehe

i *should* be there... the dealer hasnt taken my car off me yet for the leather interior... so i should hopefully be there in my car... :D

really mick? i love opera... i responds and load a sh!teload faster than safari on my iphone...

dee: what is tapatalk?

loving the car man!

when are you gonna come out to a meet again!?

mate, that looks fuqn awesome!!!

i seriously think it looks a lot better than the clear on your car...

need to see it in person, but right now, from that pic, it looks sweet!!

just need to lower it and get some gun metal grey rims... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice! :D

HAHAHAHAHA, thats awesome!! i GOTTA see this in person! :D

thats such a messy install... fuqn awesome! BUT STILL MESSY!!!

sorry, just my OCD taking over there!!

agreed with above though... getting the TRD setup from toyota is a complete waste of money...

turbo is a much better option for that kinda coin.. you'll get a lot more power out of it. :)
