The ORSM6 Build.

[JAKHMR]

Hi all, I drive a 2003 BA XT I6.
Ill start with the some recent shots first, then work my way through.

The first major change I have made ATM has been in the engine bay.

HPC coated Di Fillipo headers and MS cat back system. Has a much Nicer note, crisper acceleration & lower fuel consumption.
Thanks to Craig@ACE.

[MR_LON]

it's only the beggining jak, look fwd to seeing it evolve

[X ORSMXR]

Nice zorst there Jack l am sure that would have made a huge difference. Keep up the good work mate.

[JAKHMR]

The start to some subtle changes.
Fairmont Front Grille followed by chrome headlight highlights. Decided to go along with the Fairmont Chrome Rear number plate instaed of the Ghia one .
The Front end shot before.

[JAKHMR]

And the shot after the new plates came in.

[X ORSMXR]

JAK plates look ORSM weldone and welcome to the ORSM plate club.

[JAKHMR]

Cheers Chris. I cant believe how many people have commented on them already and how much neater the car looks with them on.

I've got the computer cover and the Tank header cover at the panel beaters ATM getting sprayed up in Venom.
The wheels are also getting sorted this week hopefully so as soon as I get them all back, I guess this Saturday will be the time to play with the new additions. :

[Redrum]

Jack, looking forward to the wheels.

[Redrum]

I saw an XT today parked at Watergardens, white lowered, nice height with 19" BF GT rims, looked really good!

[JAKHMR]

Hey guys, man have I been itching all week for the parts, but unfortunately didnt get the parts back this week, so a bit spewin. Will give me time to buy the gaskets for the rocker cover and for the polished plenum at least.
Called Craig Today but he hasnt been able to get in touch with the polisher either.
The rims will come through next week, as he has been flat out.

Oh well... :

Can't help that mate, but looks like the Jackhammer is heading for some sweet bling. Small moves man, it all comes together nicely.

Hi Jas, Im hoping mine ends up looking nicer once i get the wheels on.
Im only going the XR8 Wheels ATM cos i found them at a bargain.
After that Im saving for a complete suspension set up, drop it by another inch, sway bars & shocks and reset the springs.
After that, mods will cease, to be able to start saving more pennies and Im hoping to get a set of 19" DJR 320 wheels.

That should do it. :

well said

Lowered with 18's, great colour of vixen, and spotless as you always maintain it your will look as good, if not better. Plates help heaps too.

Yes they do.... ....thanks Jas.

[X ORSMXR]

Yeah Jac after seeing this car pull alongside me on the monash it sure stands out with those plates on a red car. Jac the car sits nice on the road but will look alot better once you have lowered it abit more and the wheels will be just the icing on the cake.........

Cheers Chris

[JAKHMR]

Thanks Chris. It was great to see you on the road too man. :hihi:
I have already found out how much the suspension is going to come out aswell. :
Are you going to be posting thems pics up yet in the spotted thread?
Dying to see them! :1syellow1

[X ORSMXR]

[ORSM6T]

[Fev]

[JAKHMR]

[JAKHMR]

[BLKPHN]

Gee JACK THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE MUCH XT LEFT ONCE YOUR DONE WITH IT!! NICE WORK MATE.

[JAKHMR]

Thanks Trist, will be removing thems mudflaps before Sandown to try and get it looking as clean : as yours mate..... ...

[Jeeepers]

You may not like what you find under them mudflaps man. I removed mine, and was convinced the car would have been better without them.

[auMatt]

I was going to remove mine until I noticed they had damaged the paint underneath.
