Macca's BA MkII XR6 Turbo Ute

[Macca86]

Bit of an update. Got my GT stripes fitted on Tuesday (yeah I know they will get some hate, but I like them and reckon they tie in really nicely) and got my tints done yesterday (Got 20% sides, 5% on the rear). So happy with how much better its looking!

Knew it would look good! Looks much better!

I don't mind the stripes. Looks good with the tinted windows. Not too sure if I'd have put the "turbo 240" text on though.

Cheers guys. Im so much happier with how its looking now. Yeah the Turbo 240 was a last minute decision. They just came with the bonnet stripes as the same decal so I just got the people I got to fit them for me to put everything on instead of cutting decals in half. Figured I could always take them off if I wanted to but they have kind of grown on me. lol
Next step is to get my 12" sub and amp put in.

Hmmmm trying to decide what to do next.
-Get my sub installed because I sooo miss having some bass..
-Intercooler upgrade (not looking to spend heaps so likely be an ebay cheapie)..
-Or save my money for now and save up until I can afford the SS inductions CAI...

Unless your getting it tuned don't bother with any other mods, fitting a new cooler will make next to no difference on a stock car. If anything just hunt down a cheap second hand F6 unit.
As for an intake just use the F6 unit unless your going a turbo side setup.

Yeah wasnt expecting much if any gain from a different cooler, moreso just the look thing. Will keep a lookout for a cheap F6 unit going or go ebay cheapie.
Is the F6 air intake better then the SS inductions one? Cant seem to find many 2nd hand F6 ones about that arnt missing certain parts.

SS inductions is over priced, use this as a guide.

Only thing better is a turbo side setup, but on a B series it is major changes.
