I just saw the bars today, and they are the same paint again, and damn do they look good! 90tx5 - I think some of the larger gt25's would be good for your car. Also a IHI Vf22 could be a good bet. BTW did you see an 'odd' looking blue R31 skyline today while driving around? 90tx5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 142 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 3 2003, 11:51 PM yeah i did see ya bro, and i wanted to go him! owell and i have heard that the sti turbo's vf22 arn't all that good?? i was told by a few people and hot4's that the gt25 is quite a good option for the engine. don't know yet. won't be for 2-3 months $$$$$$ but yeah your car is looking nice getting ricy though. what rims you getting?? and were and how much was your paint job?? -------------------- the f2t is a powerfull engine, but only to those who can handle the power! mx68u Admin Group: Admin Posts: 1128 Member No.: 1 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 4 2003, 11:08 AM looks great tx5.. not ricey at all unless you acutally rice it up with some hardcore go fast bits that dont actually make ur car faster whilst keeping the performance stock.. now thats rice! lets keep this thread on topic guys timtx5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 32 Member No.: 143 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 4 2003, 10:58 PM Rims are on hold for a little while. I did have the $$ for them, but then things came up like rego, insurance, a trip to brisbane I decided to have, uni fee's, text books yadda ya, the list goes on. Its being done by auto illusions in mt louisa. Cost is probably more than I should be spending on a tx5. Dont worry though, performance hasnt been completely negleted, although i feel handling and breaking performance might be next on the agenda. Then the power chase continues. Yeah dont worry about that R31, its a bucket. Would beat it to 100 i suspect, but i think it would come hammering past after that. 90tx5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 142 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 4 2003, 11:23 PM y mount isa?? isn't there any body in town good enough?? and what is it costing? i am looking at getting a new paint job soon! -------------------- the f2t is a powerfull engine, but only to those who can handle the power! timtx5 Newbie Group: Members Posts: 32 Member No.: 143 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 5 2003, 01:54 PM No mount louisa , like the next suburb over from Garbutt.

Group: Moderators Posts: 329 Member No.: 133 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 5 2003, 09:49 PM well, the way I want to do it, would only require cutting the trunk in the same curve as the inside edge of the tail light. And I would make the lenses on the 6's trunk a flat piece of shhet metal, but still leave thespot for the plate. -------------------- Yes it's a turbocharged FE3, (soon on the bottle) and NO you can't drive it WARNING: Does not play well with others (it seems others have a problem with losing) My Beast QUOTE posted by 90tx5 cheers you r like the car god on this forum Brandon696 The Street Racing Super Trooper Group: Members Posts: 338 Member No.: 34 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 6 2003, 08:10 AM you have those tails molded into your six redneck???? post some pics up in another post. but like frank said, lets try to stick to topic. good convos goin thoguh lol Brandon -------------------- 'Go Forth and Teach the Ways of the Six' www.mx6.com Anything you wanna know about the six Anything you wanna know about the RX-7 www.rx7club.com 1994 Mazda MX-6 Guest_90tx5 Unregistered Posted onMar 6 2003, 02:10 PM i want a kit for my car, so it doesn't look stnd but it won't bee a ricer if anybody knows were i can get a kit from then please let me know...... i live in townsville and is hard to find anything 90tx5 Occasional Poster Group: Members Posts: 82 Member No.: 142 Car Profile: Available Status: Offline Posted onMar 6 2003, 02:12 PM sorry i am logged in now -------------------- the f2t is a powerfull engine, but only to those who can handle the power!

I did have a bookmark with a couple jetspeed custom kits, but it doesnt seem to be working. Go to www.jetspeed.com and go through the custom kit option. Selecting ford telstra <-- which they spelt like that. They have a couple small pics, but when you click on them they dont work anyway. Can sorta get an idea though.
