Hi all, I drive a 2003 BA XT I6.
Ill start with the some recent shots first, then work my way through. The first major change I have made ATM has been in the engine bay. HPC coated Di Fillipo headers and MS cat back system. Has a much Nicer note, crisper acceleration & lower fuel consumption. Thanks to Craig@ACE.

The wheels are also getting sorted this week hopefully so as soon as I get them all back, I guess this Saturday will be the time to play with the new additions. :

Hey guys, man have I been itching all week for the parts, but unfortunately didnt get the parts back this week, so a bit spewin. Will give me time to buy the gaskets for the rocker cover and for the polished plenum at least.
Called Craig Today but he hasnt been able to get in touch with the polisher either. The rims will come through next week, as he has been flat out. Oh well... :

Yeah Jac after seeing this car pull alongside me on the monash it sure stands out with those plates on a red car. Jac the car sits nice on the road but will look alot better once you have lowered it abit more and the wheels will be just the icing on the cake.........
Cheers Chris

You may not like what you find under them mudflaps man. I removed mine, and was convinced the car would have been better without them.
