It is indeed a very sad day, but it's time to sell my pride and joy and buy something more 'sedate' . My wife has her own car but we now need something we can both drive, and she's too scared to drive it (something to do with a little sideways excursion in the wet after being a bit too enthusiastic with the right foot. Low down torque 4tw! )

I've just advertised an EOI for the engine seperately but I'd much rather sell the car complete.

According to the rego papers it's an EF futura
The mods and performance are probably known to a few around here but here's a quick run down.

I had a few dramas that night though - I'd just fitted the 3.45 diff and hadn't swapped over the speedo gear so I was hitting the 180k limiter before I crossed the traps! I also had to run on 195 width burnout tyres (and thus had to do a sissy launch to get any traction) after a tyre pressure gauge mishap with my street tyres...

That's all still running the factory ECU. I've got an assembled megasquirt ECU here to install but never got around to fitting it. I'll include that with teh car and you can install it yourself if you with. With some proper tuning and decent tyres a 14 flat is highly likely.


















This is an old photo, the engine bay is a bit grubby



This is another old photo, the seats now have black velour covers which match the door trims






This was before I finished installing the screen properly, but you get the idea





I'd say 90% of the car is between 2 months and 2 years old, infact the only things I haven't replaced or upgraded are the power steering pump, alternator, rack, gearbox and tail shaft! (all of which are fine)

I'm chasing around 12,500, which is a hell of alot less than what I've spent on mods alone (the usual story unfortunately)
I don't think it's too bad considering the age of most of the components and the fact that no new car under 40k can touch it.

Serious offers ?

Thats a very realistic price for whats been done!

People considering an EF/EL XR6 should take a look at this as a decent version will be around 8-12k depending on km and mods, whereas this has everyhting all done for you.

I forgot to mention it also comes with a matching phantom purple helmet if you wanna take it to the drags or track or drive around shopping centre parking lots like a retard

(BUMP )

New battery as of today, I'm sure this will sway any potential buyers

Price drop to 12k ono

im amazed this hasnt been snatched up already

what car u lookin at gettin after u sell it hyena?

Yeah someone hurry up and buy it!
If I sell it shortly I've got my eye on a BA XR6T, mercury silver with leather and premium sound, which is exactly what I'm looking for but it'll probably be sold before I sell mine

Failing that I might settle for a NA XR6 manual and do a few mods to get it moving a bit better (extractors, intake, edit)

dont settle for an NA if u got your heart set on the turbo, u will regret it.. the turbos are awesome!!!

good luck with the sale.

Gotta love the Merc Silver Turbo's with premium audio

For that price, this would have to be one of the best bang for your bucks going around!!!

Good luck with it mate, hope you get what you want.

I thought it was pretty reasonably priced but so far no takers at all

I should also add that if anyone in south east Qld is seriously interested I MAY consider driving it up there to deliver it

Just curious, but roughly how far from sydney airport would you be?

Jay Matey!!
Long time no see... Thats terrible... If i had the money, and a licence, i'd buy that car off you YESTERDAY!!!

I can vouch for this beast, it looks hot, it sounds hot, it leaves hot smokey trails of rubber outside your mates houses... ITS HOT!!

Very sad to see it go mate, I can just imagine how you must feel about it.
You know the movies you posted up some time back, with teh camera in car and you just driving around with your exhaust disconnected... I still watch it nearly every day, hahaha

About 25 minutes from home, 10 from work. If you're interested I'd come pick you up.




Rubbish, this car has no guts, is very quiet and has only been driven to church on sundays


haha, you need help ...from your bank manager and the RTA
How dead is the fairmont ? If it's just the diff surely you could just put a stocker in it and sell it. You'd only need a few grand extra and you could just polish it and rev it up in the driveway until you get your license back (I went through that stage a few years back! )

I just gotta see if i can get my parents to part with a few thousand dollars. Ill let you know soon, might be a month or so though.

Good luck with the sale.

XR6T?? more sedate??

shoosh, it looks and sounds like more of a family car than mine and has an auto gearbox and traction control. She won't know...
