Hi guys, got my hands on some BBS mags the other day 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears.

Deja Vu. I saw a car like this elsewhere on the forum. lol

Looking good! now all you need is a stage 1 or 2 turbo kit from TSA.

LOL...not after he spent that amount of dough on the extractors, exhaust and all...it'd all just go to waste. That's exactly what I did before I drove my XR6 into TSA for the very first time, learnt my lesson the hard way.

mal - Don't worry about that - that's nothing compared to the cost of these wheels! And he could always sell those bits on here. It NEEDS to be done. A car that looks that good, has to have the go to match the show (as you well know).

Dont need to sell eny thing, was looking at a unichip but have heard that they can be trouble, may look into a capa super charger. next on the list is Koni shocks and King springs, drop it down about 1.5 or 2 inches, and Brembo brakes. Why because i can !

S/c is good! Springs and shocks also good. veeerrry nice car Shane.

Good to know that you've got the dough to back up the mods Shane. Didn't imply that you don't but if I did, sorry.

Yes, bring on FORCED INDUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words of a wise man!! Good stuff.

I'd be interested to see how many companies will do aftermarket blower kits for the standard BA 6s and how effective they are.

NICE Blueprint beauty there, nice rims, I've been thinking of similiar ones for our Phantom beast.

I do have a question though......

OK, The SS Inductions Snorkel? Is it really worth putting on an N/A? It's definatley a benefit for the XR6 TURBO I was told not to bother by several sources for the N/A as they will not improve performance in an Naturally Aspirated motor. Some actually get squashed down once the bonnet is closed. My XR still has the standard XR6 N/A snorkel.

Unless you are doing 180+ everywhere, it doesn't matter how much air goes through the opening, you still have the same sized opening at the end of the hose. Correct me if I'm wrong.....Hell If I am, I will probably get the XR6T snorkel for approx $35.
