Great day out at WSID today, another full house and a very warm day. Mixed results for myself 1st pass: 11.3 @133 2nd pass: 11.3 @134 4th pass: 11.06 @134. 1.83 60ft Car just feels like a slug off the line but I won't sit here and make excuses....still an 11 sec nugget lol Got some gopro footage I'll edit over the next few days and put up

well as its been a few days now I fear the worst and Im thinking time to move on. Best case scenario I get it back and its all still mint. Alternatively I hoped the f*ckers wrapped it round a tree got trapped inside and slowly burnt to death. Yeah think I prefer this one TBH.

What you going to stupid me to death.

^^^^^^^^ this guy knows quality oh wait, rapid went bust

NSW Willo88 / Autotech A6 G6ET Sedan - WSID 11.06 @ 134 That'll be gone next week lol

f*ck this *beep*.

Yeah that'd be the perfect outcome Sorry to hear mate. Did they do your place over as well or was it targeted? Seems to be all the rage these days - hope I never catch any fcker doing it to me or I'll be the one locked up.

27 NSW Stevanford / Autotech A6 G6ET Sedan - WSID 10.74 @ 134

Facesucks kiddies game Panda....

Dont want to say too much but they had the spare key. Thanks to everyone for putting the word out and keeping an eye out, much appreciated. After all the time and work ive put into it I'm devastated its gone, part of me really wants it back but theres also a part that says "no you dont", dread to think wot theyve done to it. Ive always been very security conscious especially with my cars etc but from now on ill be stepping it up a level. As far as a replacement goes, the way I'm feeling at the moment I wont be bothering again, spending all that time and money for this to happen. Thinking I might just buy an old tray back ute and not worry about it. Then a little head pops over my shoulder and says "new XR8" Look after wots important to you guys.

I've had a look over my old notes and there's one in particular that stands out, meet to be decided but it basically heads towards uraidla, Mt Torrens, Gumeracha, Birdwood etc. Sound good?

F6X came with the big turbo like all B series. Only cars with the small one are FG XR6T and G6ET.

I reckon he should take it to rapid

Ive said it once, and ill say it again. Change your tuner. Ive been around here a looooooong time. And seen plenty of stories like yours. I did the same, I was fcuked over by HPF. Your tuner obviously doesnt care about your car, the tray is evidence of this. He would have seen the tyres sitting in the back before he got into it and drove it. And they all end well when the car is taken/towed from one dodgy tuner, and taken somewhere else to somebody who knows what they are doing. For example, Mick at Pitlane. He has fixed many cars that others couldn't. Cut your losses. Sever relationships. Do whatever. Get it towed down to Mick at Pitlane, and get it fixed properly.

Just going to put it out there so [FlameSuitOn] I've been part of another fords site for some time and whenever this question is asked, there is a sh*tstorm of hate. I don't wish to sound like a kunt, but learn to drive first. These rules are to keep all & sundry safe, right or wrong the exceptions are there for a reason. The latest plate reading equipment they have would have alarms going off everyday and I'm fairly sure the cops have descression how they allow that so my best is if you continue you'd be on foot walking within a week. My take on it? save the money and buy a house. That gets the bitches moist

I'll come and push start ya Lennox

Cheers boys. Yes, Don...it was that bad lol smashed the limiter in 1st

If your battery ok it will last a week or get one of those battery jump pack and leave it in the car I drive to work car doesn't move for 8 days and it start ok But I also have my jumper pack as backup

I used to drive my car to the international airport, fly to Africa, come back sometimes 6 - 8 weeks later, get in my car and drive home. If your battery was getting a bit old or you have something drawing voltage, you might want to think about a charger, but a week without driving is nothing.

Thanks for that Ralph. Just so disappointing when the car was running so well after swapping the coils. I've got a track day for Father's Day so hoping we can get it sorted this week. Ratter tells me the plugs are gapped too low at .06 so I'm just about to attack them again for the second time today, lol.

Any advice would be much appreciated also guys.

sigh :( After a week and a bit of running great including a big run last weekend up to Leyburn, it started the same surging fault again on Saturday. I pulled the plugs this time and swapped out for another set, changed fuel filter and put some injector cleaner in but it still felt a bit laggy - not in its sweet spot like it had been. But...took it for another run and it threw up P1228 on hard acceleration. Looked that up- 'wasgate failed open (under pressure)'. So, looks like we're back chasing a boost related issue. I'm hoping, it's a crook boost control solenoid. Worst case, I've got that spare housing now so we can swap that over. Was gutted when it came back on Saturday but the fault code now gives us some direction I think.

No he doesn't

Since its a GS I would definitely go to Autotech, didn't read it properly, he is a whizz with the Miami.....

Nice going stevan! get that 60ft down to a 1.6 and it will go 10.5!!

The stupid is strong in this one.

New wheels

Wtf?

Never.

I was at a shop called Tokyo Motorsport in Perth other week where we dynod by drag bike. They specialise is Mitsubishi Evo's. On the hoist was an evo with a wrapped dump pipe. Remembering this thread I asked if they have any issues with cracking. The mechanic told me he hadn't heard of any, but because the piping runs directly under the sump (being an east/west), they see as much as a 10 degree reduction in oil temp. That seemed a lot to me but they should know their biccies. Also, I believe transferring the heat down the line with wrap or ceramic coating will help keep exhaust gas temps up as they reach the rear of the car, also keeping the gas speed up, helping power.

unless they had your key/s {spare key from previous owner},the only way to take it is by using a tow truck/tandem...etc? without having a key,ecu or ignition barrel there almost impossible to steal..

No ninth for the Tigers this year. Better win a final or two. I take it that's been confirmed. Tempted by a black XR8

I don't care that there is an AFL thread; go you Richmond Tigers!!!!

Yeah gunna in your case seriously Hi Torque or FPT

anyone got links to good gps tracking equipment?

Phew...thought I was gunna have to do something...

I could be wrong......again....... But from reading this thread, it seems most of these cam failures have been found by chance, not because of an actual issue related to the cam pitting. Correct me if I'm wrong, my missus has made a career out of it!!!

thanks for trying to make me feel better,will see what happens after powercruise .

spotted a tough FG ute lowered on black wheels this morning just past kings way exit burnley tunnel bound, debadged looked nice!

except for you, Trent.

nothing just a ghost town

Well well well, what do we have here...

Best thing you can possibly do is fork out for a good personal trainer, at least twice a week.
