Default AU Tickford Xr6's Xr6 VCT

hey everyone, the names Henry, and last week i bought a Ford AU XR6 VCT for 15,000, not a bad buy i believe and yeh, im luvin every bit of her. i use to have a EA Falcon sedan, which wasnt up to my racing standards so i decided to get myself a tickford.




is there any sort of Perth AU cruise group here??? i am currently a member of Perth E-Series as a VIP member, but itz not the same anymore since i got rid of the EA.

Great stuff mate, I love these things. One simply isn't enough for me. Would love a black and a silver one

Ahh, need clarification
Did the VCT S1 come with bodykit standard?
Thought they did

That's pretty good for a 99. My 98 is at 74800, I saw one like mine (except wheels) with 30,000 km's on it in unique cars back in an issue from late 2005.
Wish I had $22,000 at the time, would have snapped it up in a jiff
Same colour too.

Put some heavy grade diff oil in there, stick it in power mode and run on BP ultimate or shell alternative and it's one great car to drive, especially through the bendy bits

IIRC the tickford bodykit was an option on all AU1 XR's, none came out with it standard.

All XR6 VCT series 1s came with the full kit, IIRC. Except special orders (police, exec cars, and those who didn't want the body kit).

Nice example of one though - price is a tad high, unless you got it from a dealer.
