Pretty good turnout

Fixed the abs and dsc today. Ford told me to get a mid 2010 abs unit,I fitted the december 09 unit out of the xr6t and hey presto. All the codes are cleared,and every things working.Although I must say the traction control is all but useless in first and second Also had the aircon regassed so the new dual zone is all working perfectly. And that's about it for phase one (the stock phase). I now have what I believe to be the firs manual g series in the country,and it drives and goes as good as if Ford had built it themselves. Bring on the mods!

Nick. A lot of us here are wogs lol. This is Melbourne man. Second or third highest populated city of Greeks in the world.

I think the fg shape is perfect, although you have to get rid of the rear spoiler, lowered right and appropriate wheels and then add an xr8 bonnet. Pure sex

Yeah we were trying to catch up to ya Nick and say hi

C'mon Nick I be there mate, don't let 1 experience ruin it for you.

This is the single stupidest thing I have ever read on this forum.

Why is it up to other people to introduce themselves to you? If you felt left out then you should've taken the initiative and introduced yourself to them. It's not really fair to criticise people for not doing something you weren't willing to do yourself.

GM. At sunny Lorne for the weekend. Sitting on the balcony watching a whale smash the water with its tail and blow water. Fn amazing. Could sit here all morning watching it. Good way to start my day.

Safe on the dyno not on the road

Congratulations to Sutty for running 10.8@130mph in his luxobarge FG GTE. Car making 450rwkw with a KPM Streetfighter stage 3 kit, Yella Terra Blower snout, Stg 3 ZF. Car is tuned by Elite Automotive!! Congratulations sutty!!!!!

The knocking sound turns out not to be the exhaust, still trying to work out where it's coming from.

Ended up getting 7ltrs of nulon 10w40, oil filter and 2 cans of tyre shine for $83.

Cheers Fellas, just ducked out and got some Nulon and transmax Z before it shut. Got a quote for 5lt of royal purple delivered and they wanted $95 for the oil and $13.50 delivery, I told him to get fcked!

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of treating a 2009 FG XR6 Ute, I run an audio production company so have made a bit of a project out of this. Basically with any sound system be it a recording studio or live venue you get a much better result if you treat the space. I will be writing a full report on how it all goes but so far with the rear wall of the ute treated I have already knock 5dB of road noise out of the cabin. Also any cavity you put a speaker in needs to be treated to stop resonance of a panel creating phase issues, basically if you do take the time to treat your door and large panels the louder and cleaner your system will be. I have just finished both doors today so will re test and see how much quieter the cabin now is. Here is how far sound treatment can go also this channel has some great advice on the mis conceptions of car audio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrk507bSnWE&feature=relmfu Below is the treatment of the rear wall, single layer of dynamat all over, all holes filled and sealed, second sheet in the center of the panel then a 50mm layer of dynaliner. This has made the rear wall no longer sound like a rattling steel drum. If you want anymore info feel free to PM me. As mentioned above, Tyres are the biggest issue with road noise!

Weeeeeellllll - beuewdifull day fellas. Mini nite cruze is ON tonight after din dins at Garage Cafe (go easy on the grog fellas) And bring a CB if you have one For those wanting Internet access - look for TMB-chevy Wi-Fi hotspot - password 12345678

Come back when you've got your online degree from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

^^^ went through all of this myeslf. I'm running the coolerworx kit and it did not fit with the V8 snork. I ended up fitting an SS growler. Time over, I wouldn't have done the V8 lower box. Letter box modding the standard airbox and K&N will give you the same without the hassles of the V8 snork fouling on the pipe kit.

Who did you call to buy them in the first place ?

you will be right nick d , I saw u last night out on the ..................... mmmmmmmm (RIFF)

I payed $220 I think from memory, direct from Ford, they were trade price though.

Maybe he ate too many ls1's and was doing a poo

Completely agree. That's why I posted my thoughts on your comments too. No need to delete anything. It's just a friendly discussion.

good work mate, also good on ya for updating this thread. All to often problems get resolved but the solutions aren't shared.

Just got 6L of nulon 10w40 from supercheap. From $68 down to $52..

Awesome place Lorne..even better in summer with the amount of women in barely anything haha. Me and the family camp 20mins further down the rd, Wye River. Love the place, camp in the park that's against the beach, 50m to the sand. Best 4wks ever..

20% off supercheap today. Great time to buy oil

have fun getting the headlight back in

nice time sutty, that's one of the best lookin fords ive seen. pure porn with the wheels u have on it

5pm is just to reserve some parking spots. You can rock up at 6pm or later if you like. I'll be playing it by ear when we head off for the mini nite cruze. Basically if you want a feed before you head off then let me know when you arrive and we will leave when most peeps are ready to leave - more of a social night than a cruze

Boost loves cold.

I think he was saying he has 2 but one is one he has programmed previously, I do remember when doing mine it was hard to get the car into program mode for no apparent reason.

Well if we can about 15 or so cars there close to 5pm or there after - well fill the place mostly with our cars. Then if anyone is up for it - mini nite cruze somewhere around 7pm or when peeps get the urge to head off

there'll be another FG in matte black in Sydney in 2 weeks!

working past midday henzy? that's not like you at all.

Yep you've done it right. But I would suggest running it under the x-over and sitting it close the OEm spot so po po can't see it. Did you block the other side? Runnin no bov won't damage anything in the lifetime of the car, it will cause the car to flutter, instead of the pschh of a bov, but this will be loud or quiet depending on intake.

Seriously he doesnt muck around

From one Nic to another. Watch out lol

Wont be able to make it... shattered.. But if your all still cruising later that nite, ill come and meet up..

lol at 350

Do it anyway, or at the very least always have at least have a tank in there

I'm in the same boat mika. I'm wondering if the mirror pops out and if it does put some blue tack or something to make it more stiff. I have dynamat in the boot of my ba and it makes a hell of a difference I'd recommend it.

well done paul.. and team at Elite..

Congrats. Nice 4 door aston martin you have there.

They can be tested on a ignition/coil tester. At first they will seem fine but we just opened up the gap on the tester plug to get the coil hot and work harder and when we did that, that's when it started to play up.
