 : Heres some pics of new XR8. Sorry about the dirt they were taken on the drive up to Darwin from Melbourne.Tell me what you guys think     It does 240k/m, I didnt get a photo at that speed, because the road was little bumpy and holding the whell with one hand at that speed is a bit hairy. |

Looks really nice.
Looks like you'll be having a service too! I noticed the spanner on the dash. How much did you have to go BTW, did the engine have much after 240 or was it over by then? GK

didnt take too long. still had a couple of hundred revs to go.
Bloody spanner. 100k service due. It also handles like dream. This is my third AU XR and this handles the best by far. I think the previous owner has had a camber/caster kit put in as the front end looks different than my other ones |

Thanks. Its got an 21/2 2 into 1 exhaust with extractors. I have an series 11 xr8 ute that i'm selling for the old man and it has a air filter and there is nothing in them. The ute takes off quiker, but the sedan has more top end

Have to say, very Nice Colour, Body Kit, Mags & suspension. Although I could be biased, as i have an AU Fairmont that colour, that kit & mags & tickford suspension. I have had a camber & caster kit thrown in mine and it definately makes it feel much much better.
Very Nice car mate. Only thing i could say, is probably look into getting colour coded mirrors & clear side repeaters. Just adds that little something extra to them i think.
