What to do, what to do...

bang for your buck is important, as this wot be happening for a while again.

My thoughts were exhaust, CAPA, LSD.

any thoughts please?
Custom edit tune and 3.9 LSD diff.

You be suprised 3.9's are quite good, 100 klm sits on approx 2500 rpm...
3.9's gives it some good low down punch..

With the 3.45 stock LSD centre, the XR6 hit the 1/4 mile line at or near redline in 3rd. With 3.9s, I imagine it'd require another shift into fourth, so I wonder the gain would as much as it would benefit an auto? Anyone got 3.9s or 4.11 in a manual AU XR and can ellaborate?

If you hit the finish line on Redline thats perfect, you want your revs maxed out, you don't want to pull another gear for a few meters, tyre roll out has a bit to with this also.
Never got into 4th gear with the 3.9's, used a 18'' toyo proxes.

and paid for it too...

how much would you part withthe skirts for?

other thing is... how do you think the ts50 front will look with AU3 SR Side skirts, theyre not too bad, but not flared at the back, and no TS50 on them...

hmmmm , could build yaself a half decent track car for messing around in if you budgeted and sought after a cheap car and parts , not as new a model as an AU maybe , but like an old EA you can pick up for next to nicks , then spend rest on it on mods you can use on the track .. up to you .. just another option ..lol
