hey everyone,

just thought i'd whack up a few pics i took when me and a couple of mates went on a bit of a cruise a few weeks back, starting in gawler, heading into the hills, through lobethal to mount lofty, then back down through adelaide to glenelg, then back to gawler via port adelaide. the weather was crap but it was still good to get out and go for a decent spin.

the orange BA xr6 turbo is my mate's and has around 330rwkw and 19inch rims, the blue AU III xr6 is his brother's and the blue green r33 is my pride and joy.

the pics arent the best as i just took them when we stopped every now and then and i had to reduce them in size a heap.

anyway, hope yas all like em,

take it easy,

ben

pic 1:stopped in lobethal

pic 2: still stopped in lobethal

pic 3: took this one out the window on the way to adelaide...thought it was pretty cool

pic 4: stopped at the skatepark at west beach

:lol: so true ... just so that the now middle age v8 heads will not feel bad opting for the xr8 which is more expensive and like half a second faster in factory form.

amazing how much power lies in the xr6's though with little mods. im not even a ford fan.

People really shouldn't knock the Fords these days they've come along way, alot of people out there would be very surprised when they see the XR6T absolutly shitting over them. You gotta wonder why Holden have been bothering with that shitty little supercharger, Don't get me wrong blowers are all good, just not pissy little ones!

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
