Saw my first tl 50

AUTickford · 10-05-2007, 11:46 AM

Took the eb to the drags last night and while i was in the staging lanes i saw a sweet tl 50.i have never seen one before so i had a yarn to the owner and he reckons there was only about 60 s1 tls made,it was black with midnyght plates and had all the options,premium sound sunroof ,leather seats etc.Anyways i was stoked to see my first tl and a nice one too.Also saw a black xr5 doing flat 14s,damn fast for a front wheel drive.

Sounds like Mafia to me.

I'm in total shock if it was in the staging lanes...... but humbled too.

I am not very well informed about these finer matters of our tribe.

As the famous quote goes "please explain"?

What is it?

Casper · 10-05-2007, 12:54 PM

I saw one on Monday again... it was in my driveway

Good friends of mine own one. They go hard and handle very well for a big car. I have had the chance to throw it through a few corners.

The AU Picnic Day last year ... there were 2 parked next to each other ... hot.
One of them was a T3 from memory as well (1 of 3)

StealthAu · 10-05-2007, 04:00 PM

So what do you think a t3 tl50 would go for? did they also come with the 347

**Mechan1k** · 10-05-2007, 04:01 PM

yeah ... 5.6L Stroker.
Luxury and plenty of power.

StealthAu · 11-05-2007, 01:55 PM

Hey are there aftermarket TL50 kits for the Fairlanes?

blackers10 · 11-05-2007, 05:34 PM

there is no aftermarket TL kit no
but you can aquire bits from wreckers etc of the original items..
i purchased the TL50 rear skirt extension from FTG (Site sponsor)(its BRAND NEW still raw plastic.

others have purchased the front bar mouth insert from FTG
and the TL50 grill is REDICULOUSLY expensive.. but does look nice

-T2TL50 i know Botch has some BA LWB skirts available for a GOOD price!

AUTickford · 11-05-2007, 07:12 PM

Well when i talked to the guy who owned the xr5 he said it would go alot better if it was awd so he would know,front wheel drive it is then.
