Looks so nice with those mags, good luck in getting some.. they make your ride look so much nicer!

sven · 19-03-2006, 02:47 PM

sweet looking ride mate, and with the FR's... DAMN THATS NICE!!

snypereb · 19-03-2006, 04:14 PM

Very clean car mate!!

2kool4u · 19-03-2006, 04:26 PM

How much are the FR 18"s??

I would have thought original xr8 rims would be more pricey

Poetic Justice · 19-03-2006, 04:29 PM

The XR8's aren't original, they are copies to fit e-series.

FR18's new are around 4k with rubber I think..

2kool4u · 19-03-2006, 04:33 PM

holy sh#t!!! 4 grand for those rims, you can get much much nicer rims for like $2000

agony · 19-03-2006, 04:35 PM

Very nice ride you got there mate, clean, straight nice ride height well done

Stevo · 19-03-2006, 07:20 PM

How does it feel with the stall in it ? or because its little stall you dont really notice it?

Poetic Justice · 19-03-2006, 07:42 PM

I don't notice anything different to a normal car, that may be because I have NFI what a stally is really supposed to do, but yeah :P

XRated · 19-03-2006, 08:14 PM

Brake down, foot on accellerator :P I seriously think it'd be worth trying to save for some Simmons. They maketh the car!

Poetic Justice · 19-03-2006, 08:21 PM

Brake and accelerator?

Oh, you mean the action I got up to today at the uncle's private track this afternoon?

Damo · 19-03-2006, 09:50 PM

haha you're uncle must be pretty well off to have a nice track like that. Palm trees and all, nice work.

Poetic Justice · 19-03-2006, 10:02 PM

Yeah he sure has a lot of money.

2kool4u · 20-03-2006, 12:00 AM

Good to see someone buy a nice car and give it a bit of stick every now and then

Stevo · 21-03-2006, 09:36 PM

Ah your new car looks to be no good. It has smoke coming out the rear :P

Edit: Is it spinning both?

Poetic Justice · 22-03-2006, 10:33 PM

Yep, leaves two very thick black lines and creeps out to the left very very easily.

EF_Frmnt · 22-03-2006, 10:40 PM

how may i ask.. did the car used to have those on it but not now. Didnt you just buy it?

Poetic Justice · 22-03-2006, 10:41 PM

The previous owner wasn't willing to part with the rims. Which was fine with me, I wanted the car

EF_Frmnt · 22-03-2006, 10:57 PM

Ah ok.. rims sure are nice.. not much smoke coming off those wheels.. looks like im going to have to find a digital camera and whip up a storm in my trusty 6. which i may add would take your V8 to breakfast and make it eat pickles ;)

Poetic Justice · 22-03-2006, 11:10 PM

Competition?

Let me get on a track where I'm not paranoid my 'uncle' is going to 'spank me' and take my car from me, and I'll give you a decent run for your money son :P

EF_Frmnt · 22-03-2006, 11:15 PM

hahaha.. nice to see abit of honesty instead of the age old im not going to race its immature bla bla its illegal bla bla its not about who wins bla bla.

and im sure you would give me a decent run.. but you wouldnt keep up

and god help the world when my turbo motor gets swapped in..

Poetic Justice · 22-03-2006, 11:18 PM

Of course turbo motor will beat me, it's hard to compare the two engines (with relatively basic mods).

But I bet mine will do it sounding a lot better :P

EF_Frmnt · 22-03-2006, 11:33 PM

true true yours will sound better.. my current motor is standard. no exhaust etc only mods being a xr intake snorkel and k&n filter

good for at least 30+rwkw

and its easy to compare them.. just line em up an let em rip. 2 silver fairmonts rippin it up in qld look out al you commodore ****ers

sphell · 22-03-2006, 11:55 PM

Your car looks great! I wouldn't stress about the rims. I think the ones that are on it look sweet. You can't beat the low stock look. The FR's look good but you could do better IMO. I actually think the BA 18's would look better being a flat faced wheel, especially on a silver car. The FR's with the dish look a bit old skool these days.

Also, is it just me or does it look like the doors on the driver's side are slightly darker than the rest of the car? Has it been damaged/resprayed at any stage?

Poetic Justice · 23-03-2006, 07:19 PM

Must be just the pics mate, it has no accident history

ETH02 · 23-03-2006, 08:02 PM

Where are you?
I am in Brisbane and I have a set of 5 AMG Quake rims in Hypersilver ( They are E series offset ) with barely used tyres ( 3-4000 ks ) and locknuts. After $1500 for them Tyres are Federal Supersteel 595 235 40Z 18R 91W on four and the spare has a new Maxis MA V1 same size. The rims are in very good condition. Let me know if your interested.

Cheers, Steve
