DBourne · 18-10-2008, 09:44 AM

ill do some proper shots in a nice local once its been washed etc.

Valid8 · 18-10-2008, 10:01 AM

Thats a clean lookin xr8 you picked up, so whats 1st on your list of enhancements?

DBourne · 18-10-2008, 10:08 AM

it came with a CAPA flash tuning box and 98 octane tune so thatll go on today if you call than an enhancement?

apart from that exhaust is top of the list. (im gonna make this thing roar!).
then not sure really.. im new to the v8 scene so its exciting diving in head first!

WindsorXR · 18-10-2008, 12:36 PM

Looks great there Bourne. You getting custom plates, coz those NSW plates really mess with the look being all yellow!!lol.

DBourne · 18-10-2008, 02:11 PM

was thinking DJB 54L (DJB = my initials)

fox270 · 18-10-2008, 03:22 PM

bunter · 21-10-2008, 09:48 AM

Nice one bourny welcome to the real world of V8s lol. that ia one very clean looking XR8.

GT0132 · 21-10-2008, 10:41 AM

Nice clean example you have there .....Be interested to see what exhaust set up you end up going with....

DBourne · 21-10-2008, 12:50 PM

mild steel X-FORCE headers, hi flow metal cats and xforce 2x2.5" catbacks exiting in quad tips is what im going for.

lined up for install next week hopefully.

chief · 08-11-2008, 10:25 PM

Install is going well and will be done early next week. Be making a sound file of extractors only for the Sgt.

Plus there are a few other goodies. :monkes:

DBourne · 09-11-2008, 10:39 AM

beauty!!
thanks chief.

I have to give a massive shoutout to Easy Automotive. It's really nice to deal with a top bunch of blokes and even to have chiefs boss give me a call just to have a chat about the car and general stuff was really impressive.

Doubly impressive when you see how much work is going on, for them to take time out to chat to their customers THAT is what customer service is about.

Plus its been calming knowing that my car is in chiefs hands. (think i woulda gone nuts if it was in a strangers hands!!).

Cant wait to get my hands back on it chief!!!!

(also kylie will be happy to have me stop talking about how good it'll be when it comes back).

SNB05T · 09-11-2008, 10:48 AM

hey dave you have to do two things when you get the car,

get lunch from the chicken burger place down the road

: :sm_drool: :sm_drool:

and pick them up in the company 3 geared hyundai

dan and the crew at easy certanly know their stuff, been there a couple of times.
and it's so relaxed there as well.

DBourne · 13-11-2008, 09:44 PM

picked up the car tonight, jesus the exhausts looks sexy!!!!!

ill take some photos tomorrow @ work.

The sound is tops, wouldnt mind it a bit louder but as chief said, its awesome sounding without being a gateway to trouble!!!

The gauges are cool as well.

Extremely happy with the end result and i think cycling is going to take a firm back seat for a while haha.

fox270 · 14-11-2008, 08:15 PM

That’s a great result SgtBourne 216 isn’t to be sneezed at i can see you getting 280 with a few simple cheap mods without having to open the engine up.

Muscle_Inc · 24-11-2008, 02:10 AM

Hey Congratulations on your new toy champ, looks very neat and ready for its potential to be unleashed!

A respectable figure on the rollers thats for sure, though excuse my ignorance but out of curiousity is that completely stock standard that got you 216rwkw? Cause i remember with the BA's anyways they usually got between 180-200rwkw mark?

Anyways enjoy it the best thing i did was selling the 6cyl and jumping into a v8!

DBourne · 24-11-2008, 08:52 AM

cheers guys,
KNG, it has a full exhaust system and a lame SS CAI which will be swapped for a proper bluepower CAI and then a tune in the new year.

(ps. i still love your avatar

)

Muscle_Inc · 25-11-2008, 12:00 AM

SGTBOURNE - Ok i see well nonetheless im looking very forward to your upgrades champ.

(p.s. I still love my avatar too

)

DBourne · 15-12-2008, 09:57 PM

installed the BluePower CAI tonight. Jesus that was a task!!!

at least now its done.. however I cant get my car out tonight for a test drive haha.

Car did have a nicer note on idle so I am sure I am in for good things.

Then come new year its tune time and see what the gal pushes out

fox270 · 16-12-2008, 07:25 PM

Let us know when your ready to race it at the creek.
