May 8, 200520 yr This is the red XT6 that was for sale a little while ago. I swapped all my parts over to this body. The motor runs out very well with the new cams. I still need to fine tune it but it flat hauls. Definitely will need to upgrade to better tires. The 3" exhaust howls when the go pedal hits the floor. We are prepping it for the rallyx's in Oregon. The interior is stripped from behind the front seats. I installed Legacy front suspension with new GR2's front and rear. It's got Legacy front brakes and Toyota Supra rear disc brakes. Can you say rear e-brake?!?! Still have a few little things to do but I am happy with it so far. Need to give it a bath then pics will follow.
May 8, 200520 yr If Richie cant make it I am by his shop enough that I could cart whatever it may be his way.
May 8, 200520 yr When you left my place today and hit the main road, I could hear you hit the go pedal. For some reason, when I heard it, the first thing I thought of was a racing MG (on steroids)
May 8, 200520 yr Very nice Ken. Can't wait to see some pics of it in action rallyin around the course... also, what year Supra rear calipers did you use?

May 8, 200520 yr No, not bad. I thought it sounded better than any fart can No problem with lack of back pressure?
May 8, 200520 yr Wow, whats up with that suspension? I know you wanted to rally it but, DAMN! Looks ready to 4X4!
May 9, 200520 yr Very pretty noise out of the rear, all eyes will be on it when it hits the track. I would be the co-driver, lucky me indeed! It'll look much better with mudders on it, trust me. Supposed to rain this weekend in Hilsboro eh? Next pics of it will be muddy ones!
May 9, 200520 yr NICE VERY NICE!! They are very hard to find here in Queensland i havent seen one for sale ever. maybe im just not looking hard enough?? BTW NICE VERY NICE
May 9, 200520 yr Will we see this baby in action at the WCSS? I remember that XT6 that showed up at WCSS3 and that baby was a screamer! Cant wait to see this beauty tearin it up. Lookin good Ken. -Brian

May 10, 200520 yr Not sure how fast I was goin', but I saw 4 grand in 5th gear as I merged onto the freeway from the on ramp. That was after stopping to a dead stop first. Gets up pretty quick. Nice and noisy at 6000 rpms!!!
