99' Series 3 VS S-Pac Ute.
This thing is perfection for an XR mate, neat and tidy. Love the colour and the rim combo!
My mate has a N/A BF MK II 6 Speed Manual XR and his older brother has a 350RWKW BA 6 Speed Manual Xr Turbo. I've driven both and they are impressive cars, especially the feeling of hitting boost and breaking traction in 3rd and 4th gear, something I'm definitely not used to...
I've found with both of their cars that their diffs have been a problem, a lot of clunking and general wear and tear. I have heard a lot of similar stories with BA/BF owners..

thanks mate, i love the colour to, its not like all the other super bright XR's you see around town.

yeah my dad has a f6 typoohn, pushing around the same power, and i agree hitting boost and keeping traction can get difficult lol.

he has had alot of troubles with his diff and gearbox, its common in the B series, when you starting going over stock power. but go big or go home lol.

I'm pretty sure 20% tiny is illegal? It is in SA anyway.. :)

Is illegal every where. 35% is legal and more then dark enough.

Very nice car mate. Sucks about the damage a month or so back! So tempted to convert to an xr6 or f6 typhoon due to the awesome bang for buck! I've been hanging **** on my ford mates for years so am gonna cop it.

Keep up the good work
