Smile BA XR8 Ute Kenne Belle

ok had the thing done for a few months now and this is a good wrap up for Chris and Theo (even if he does like turbos)
i'll start by saying they are a great bunch of blokes and after talking to them the project began.

The blower went on and the tuning stated and Chris could not belive the power it was making being stock headers and a car with 90 odd thou Km's on it.

a few hickups along the way due to the age of the car but they always were happy to see or hear from me.

with a semi mild tune in the car being non intercooled made over 300kw at the wheels constantly and my god i love it. the fact the boys helped me out a lot and where not afraid to answer my questions and have my presence in their shop no matter how busy they were.

thanks again guys i'll be back soon once the house is built.
Glenn (gunny)

Sleeper.. Love it.

Im suprised the non IC KB 2.6L hasn't been more popular as its an excellent base for a future build.

If i were to go S/C this is where i would love to start.

LOL, same style as my mates BF XR8 Ute.

Be sure to throw up some pics of the install in the SHow & Shine section for many of us to drool over.

Where did ya get ya cover made up and have you ever had any drama with it popping loose at speed?? If it works well its a great idea and one which I may steal and do myself. Forever buffing out the little scuff marks the straps make from the normal ones.

Cheers
Glenn

Hey man any canvas person can do it. They pop out when they are a bit worn but I just replace the lugs it's a better option for those who think hard covers are impractable only cost around 100
