Dave's EL XR8
Re: Dave's EL XR8
Thanks mate. Yeah i don't know why they never made them in black. There's always enough people with any model who want black.
FR's are one of those weird rims. The design has been around for donkeys years, but they still suit brand new cars or cars from 40 years back.

Re: Dave's EL XR8
Hahaha, u funny bastards...
It was in an accident, so half of the car was going to be resprayed, so i was going to get them to respray the whole car, then i just bit the bullet and changed the colour too. On top of what the smash repair place was going to charge, it was 2.5k on top to respray the rest of the car and change the colour.

Hahahaha, yeah the black smoke is that extra 3-4 PSI that hasn't been tuned yet.
So it gets a lot of fuel at full boost.

Re: Dave's EL XR8
I let a few of the boys drive it at the drags if they want to.
The one on youtube would've been my mate Pete driving it ages ago. With John nifty camera setup! Worked a treat.
About a year later when he drove it next at the drags, he smashed my 4.11's.
