Default Hi

Hey guys.

Was recommended here by a mate of mine, so thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Andrew, from Dubbo NSW I drive a 2009 FG XR6, it's blood orance, will post a picture soon.

Bought this car for $27,000 from Clancy's about 2 months ago now, not long ago.

Only thing done to it at this moment is a XR8 bottom box and snorkel and removed the air box restrictor.

Here is a picture, Exhaust system is getting put on next week, and apparently it's sitting on roughly 230kw.


This also has the 6 speed gearbox in it.

Nice car, but those stickers on the mirrors = How do you come to the conclusion of 230kw? Dyno runs?

I guess, it was what I was told when I purchased it.

I wanted to get the mirrors black with the XR and Falcon coming through in orange, but the couldn't do the whole mirror in black sticker because they reckon there is to many crevices ( spelling? ) and buldges and what not in the mirror and it would just come off.

So thinking about painting the mirror black then pealing them off.
