Congratulations on your new purchase. I hope you enjoy it. With the new wheels, perhaps get it lowered with sports suspension and pop a high flow air filter in the airbox to match the intake. Once it's all ready for show, post us a pic!

Sparkling Burgundy, the best colour along with Meteorite. I must admit though, it is extremely hard to keep clean.

S3SR · 07-04-2006, 04:37 PM

hope you enjoy the SR as i do mine.... is yours a manual?

GK · 07-04-2006, 05:03 PM

Looking forward to some pics, I have an SR (2001) as well as a Futura (1999), fine cars.

What alloys are on the car at the mo? The standard SR alloys are 7 spoke 16's not 17's. Is that what's on it? If you've got Tickford 17's though, leave them on and forget the rice! Mmmmmm Tickford 17's!

*wife walks in and slaps husband for dreamingly drooling over alloys!*

S3SR · 08-04-2006, 05:05 PM

i reckon the SR 7 spoke mags suc, too many spokes and too small

LOW 4RD · 09-04-2006, 11:51 AM

Its good too hear other people injoy an SR jus like myself..
i have an 01 series2 model, its white and has a straight through cat and followed by a 2 1/2" exhuast.. its got a set of 17" tycoons and it also sits very very VERY LOW!!!!!!

Daniel,

Take off the dust covers and that will show more wheel and disk. Looks better IMO. Having said that, mine are still on. Must see to that, will look better and save me a few extra kilos!!

AU2PWR · 09-04-2006, 07:30 PM

What is the Dust Cover , Could you Explain ,,

Cheers Daniel

Have a look just behind your rims and you will find a flat black disc which is roughly the same size as one of your rotors. This is a dust cover. Some leave them on & some take them off. It's up to you.
You've got a sparkling burgundy. That will make two coming from crany.

I must admit GK, i have been meaning to do the same and haven't.

AU2PWR · 09-04-2006, 07:48 PM

I know I'm not HOTC2R, but you could try this.

Left hand side.
Take the front one off and leave the rear one on. COMPARE!

Right hand side
Take the rear one off and leave the front one on. COMPARE!

What ever you do, the SR will still look good!

Cheers

To be perfectly honest, if you have your original 16" SR rims on which is what came on my wifes 75th Ann. Futura, then leave them on. The original look. I've now put 18" on her car and I left them on because it hides the small standard sized rotors a little. Would love to put bigger rotors and calipers on but too much money for that.
The best thing to do is take one off and stand back and have a look from the side of your car. then you will be able to see the car with one on and one off.

HOTC2R · 09-04-2006, 07:57 PM

GK, great minds think alike. And yep, either way it will look fine.

AU2PWR · 09-04-2006, 08:15 PM

ill take one off tommorow like you said and ill give you the verdict

Cheers
Daniel

HOTC2R · 09-04-2006, 08:37 PM

Let us know how you go or we will see it at the AU BBQ Day.

Which high flow filter did you go for and where and how much did you pay? Been looking at K & N lately and been getting quoted some crazy prices.

AU2PWR · 09-04-2006, 08:51 PM

i didnt have the 199 dollars they wanted for the K & N Filter , so i bought a Ryco HiFlo AW491 Filter for $20 at Autobarb , but on that note , i used to work at a Foam prodution joint for holden and i still got contacts , K&N filters are foam so if i know the sizes i could make a couple

Ideas Ideas ...

I haven't been quoted quite that much but anywhere from $150-$185. I'm sure that when I was looking not long ago they were like $120.

I saw the K&N panel filter in some advertising material yesterday for $120ish I think.

*Checks recycling box*

I had to go out to the naturestrip with the dolphin torch to rummage around in the recycling bin! LOL!

Bursons have the filter on special for $120 and the recharge kit for $24.95.

Hope that helps,

AU2PWR · 10-04-2006, 09:28 AM

Cheers Bought K&N Filter Today , $120 @ Bursons Auto Parts , also bought Oil Filter , Octane Booster Treatment , Some Transmission oil and some Castol Magnatech , Also some Polish and Carwash so the Car is having a 'Massage & Exfoliating' Session today ;)

Don't forget to put the sliced cucumber pieces on the headlight!

Glad you got the filter!

I also use Magnatec, good oil IMO!

AU2PWR · 10-04-2006, 02:44 PM

lol , nah , car is looking really good , i think i need a Buffer and some Kitten No.1 because the Bonnet is really scratched ( Like Swirl Marks and Fine Lines ) ,so ill attemp that

Took the Dust Covers Off , and thinking about using the old intake i took off , might add it on somewhere to improve airflow in the Engine Bay , or something like that ,

But Yeah , Very Happy Chappy

Cheers
