My New Daily Driver
Hi guys,
I've had this for a few months now and havent got around to putting it up. You will be glad to know it's a ford
.
I'd been previously driving a 95 Supra around and it suited me and my girlfriend fine but i had no back seat nor boot & we found out we had a little one on the way, so i went and had a look at some cars and did my research and i couldnt settle for a FWD or a wagon and it had to look alright and still have a bit of kick (when the babies not in the car ofcourse) so i come to the conclusion id buy a BA XR6 Turbo.
And this is what i found...
Engine Rebuilt 3,000kms ago with complete FPV F6 Internals
VCM Tuned
Atomic Valve Springs and Seals
Deatschwerks 300 Fuel Pump
82lbs Deka Fuel Injectors (Both pump and injectors are e85 fuel ready)
Reconditioned Garrett GT3540 Turbocharger with 12psi Boost Actuator and Ported wastegate.
Completely Rebuilt 4 Speed BTR 1,000kms ago - AU Planetary Gears, Billet Servo, High Energy Bands, Heavy Duty Convertor, Completely Strengthened 1st-3rd gear, front mounted PWR Transmission Cooler.
Huge Hyperflow Stealth Front Mount Intercooler
2nd FPV Snorkel fitted to airbox with K&N Panel filter
High Flow Catalytic convertor
GFB Stealth Blow Off Valve
GFB Stealth Boost Controller
All new driveline bushes including Diff.
DBA Slotted Front Brakes with Performance 'race' Pads
New coils with Platinum Spark Plugs
Original FPV Gauge Pods with Cobalt Boost & Oil Pressure Gauge
Now the car has been tuned to be a daily Driver at 12PSI which makes 300rwkw & also been tuned at 19PSI which makes 361rwkw
Best thing i like about it is that it's a sleeper. Exhaust isnt loud making a huge noise... Rims are stock and ride height is standard. The only thing that gives it away is the spool of the turbo when you plant it
. Downside is standard falcon rims will only fit 255's on the rear so traction is sometimes a problem :)
