thought i'd better start a new thread for the new car...

its a brand new 2010 XR6T in Nitro...
i take delivery whenever i "de-modify" the trd and trade it in to them...

it'll have a custom leather interior which is black with blue stitching and "XR6 TURBO" embossed into the headrests...

here are the only pics i have of her: (taken off the dealer's website)





anyway, here are the planned mods from the very little amount of research i've done today... still have a WHOLE lot more research to do...
if anyone has any suggestions/comments, i'm open to hear them...
the numbers to the right of the items is the most likely the order/stages i'll be buying & installing them in. (yes, i really am that anal and ocd about modding cars these days! )

the first 4 items in the stereo section is only the first option that i came across today... i'm SURE there will be a cheaper option out there and if anyone knows what it is, i'm all ears...

you're more than welcome to take it for a thrashing, i mean drive and see for yourself...

mums aurion gearbox isnt too bad. just the torque steer and the traction control that shits me. Who the fuck would put 200kw (265hp) through the front wheels is an idiot. let alone your turd.

anyway, youll be hanging the ass out in no time. and a better balanced car under cornering (drive coming from where its meant to)

meh... each to their own... the TRD was a fantastic car i thought... torque steer? ummm, just hold the steering wheel!
with enough time behind the wheel, you know which way the car will pull, so you just correct it slightly...


dont suppose your mum wants a rear sway bar and front strut brace for the aurion does she?
if you guys want them, they're yours...

i'll ask dad, but i doubt it...

Wow dude... nice upgrade...

Out of curiosity, you didn't want an EVO instead of a ford xr6 turbo?

Guess my preference would have been the evo, but the xr6t has some good potential for drifting it around, burnouts etc... all those "bogan" things to do... (which are freakin fun!!!)

Very nice car dude, am sure you will enjoy it....

Hmm ok, so guesses for your next car in 2yrs time... maybe a 135 BMW M3 or M5 even

yeah, i thought about an EVO... but it has two problems for me that i cant get over...
1) its really small inside compared to the bigger cars... and i'm a big guy, so i feel cramped inside it...
2) its still sorta classed as a "hoons" car... and after my wrx i swore i'd never own a "hoons" car as a daily driver again... to much issues from the cops...

apart from those two, then hell yes, i would have loved an evo...
also, the evo is another 20k on top of what i paid for this car...


2yrs? give me a break! 2.5yrs!


EDIT: i just did some somes and on average, i have changed cars every 2yrs!
thats just excessive and not normal...

You do realise that the silvia was a hoons car also right? The XR6T is too... BUT, it will only be if you dump it, change the rims, big exhaust etc etc

Meh, i used to change cars every 6mths.. cause i just got bored with cars. But the price range was always under $10k and were not new cars

but for the past 4yrs i had the same car (my old corona) which i sold when i moved down here, and bought the mazda for $2k as an a to b car for me which i kept as an a to b car for down here too

anyways - back on topic!

Sweet as car, those cars have HUGE potential for some big power outputs.
