Default G'day!

G'day guys, long time since I've been on here but it's about time I started getting back into the forums.

Back when I was a regular here, I used to have a 2005 WP LX in Sub Lime with 17" CSA Dominators. Last year I sold it on the promise of a company car and got myself an 1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6 as a toy. Fun car but I both loved it and hated it for it's drama. My work situation changed at the start of the year so it was time to get back into a new car and I bought myself a runout 2007 WQ XR4.

Here she is with my friend's KE Laser:


I still can't believe the difference to the old LX, especially how stiff the suspension is, I'm often cocking a wheel if I hit a driveway on an angle.

At this point I've kept things to a 2.25" stainless steel cat back but as time goes by I'm starting to eye off some extra goodies. I'm thinking the dream package involves a little shopping on PumaSpeed with the Quaife LSD, the ST190 pack and probably a brake upgrade.

That's a great car. I own an LX and love hearing the actual defferences between that and an XR4 from people who have been in both.
