Buying an XR doesn't mean you're better than the rest, just means you may have the extra money to buy it (except quarter mile...you'd probably look better with numbers). I think I would have done the same mods to a GLi (plus some for the luxury extras) as I have to the Fairmont. The feeling of satisfaction after completion of a mod done by oneself...is pretty priceless.

you have to do the front thought.the xr front gives it that sex appeal that all the others lack.i love the front of the EL XR6 not the biggesst fan of the back unless its dumped with no spoiler.XR's just look tough, cant go past em.

What I am saying is, they are just better (proper xr's) , knowing you've got the real thing.

ony one bit of advice i can give you dear boy is do it right first time take it to the experts and pay that little extra then once you have seen it done then have a go yourself
ANZ wheels do a copy of those rims to suit ef/el look them up online for closest distribtor As for lowering ,,shop around and get quotes and make sure you include a camber caster shim kit for the front and labour to fit and a wheel alignment as for exhaust depends were you go but can get full system including cat and extractors in 2.5' press bent tho fittted for $750 these days if it is auto get two mufflers if it is manual get it with one muffler and a resonator ... because with the auto on std motor it will drone and be very annoying at freeway crusing speeds next step get 3.45 ratio diff gears with lsd centre and dont forget the tint aswell get full metallic tint and go 5% heaps more things to do like clear indicators full custom body kit with ba gt frt and rear lower bar sections pm SWC for those... leather interior upgrade fairlane dash conversion pwr windows all round HID lights ......the list is endless

phongus wrote: lowering your car will depend how deep your pockets are. You can spend as little as $100 (second hand springs only) to $2500+ (new springs + shocks). If you just want it to look good but ride like hell, then it can be done cheaply...if you want it to look lowered with comfortable ride, spend more. i agree when it comes to working on your car think of how long u intend to keep and let that sort of be a guide to how mauch you spend because then youll keep in mind that you wont make money. i intenend to keep mine as long as possible so i try and buy the best stuff i can even if it takes longer. im currently working on lowering the car and its costing 300 odd dolllars a shock and then what ever pedders ryder springs cost. |
