    I like it - much better then stock. I've actually got the mk II's in 19" on mine, although I went the gunmetal spokes with chrome dish

    Take the blow off valve off if you want flutter... Do a search on 'dose'

    My mates got a vl with the battery in the boot and he was told he needs the isolation switch because he had a surge tank in there aswell. They still let him race though. I think you should be fine as long as you don't have a fuel system in there.

    I had the exact same problem mate. When slowing down and coming to a stop the abs would come on. Found out one of my abs sensors wasn't fitted correctly after having the diff bush done, it would be fine at speed but when coming to a stop the ecu would think a wheel is locked and apply abs. I took all the sensors off, gave em a decent clean and re-installed them. it wasn't till I got to the last one that I found the bolt was loose and I could move it around - just my luck. Now its good as new.

    if its really got the upgraded brakes then they're better then bf calipers...

    go stainless, you can use a much thinner wall thickness then alloy which means larger ID

    I think the biggest improvement with the unbrako is it has a longer shank which goes into the diff so at least the strongest part of the bolt is placed in shear, unlike the stock POS...

    If you can get your hands on a hard copy of the superpro catelogue the bolt type is in there... its not on the online one. or ring around some decent suspension workshops someone will know...

    howitzer85 replied to timbos99's topic in G6E Turbo

    what about the standard ford logo with a black background rather then the blue?

    http://www.obdkey.com/ this works pretty good I've heard, and bluetooth connection is convenient, pretty sure it can be real time too...

    when I had mine done the guy showed me the superpro catelog and it actually said what type of bolt to use, can't remember what it was though... see if you can get a hold of the catelogue, it should be in there

    make sure they stick a stronger bolt in there while there at it, I actually sheared the bolt on mine, the bush still looked intact...

    I got a nokia bluetooth handsfree kit off ebay for like 80bucks... easy to install and works the same as the ford andit kept the wallet happy

    Well that comment couldn't be any more wrong... I wouldn't call every body panel on the car, suspension components, interior trim, seats, lights (the LED ones are imported though), alloy wheels, (the list goes on) 'some' components. Ford could learn a thing or two about how toyota makes cars, I'm not talking about design because the falcon is a good design, I'm talking about the actual manufacturing process. oh and for the guys in ford QC do abit of research on 'jidoka'

    Its 'lets talk' only spelt like torque...
