Hey all. Just curious and I thought it might a good convo starter, but I would like to know everyones opinion on the best sparkplug setup for our n/a's. Please list brands and costs if you can. Let her rip! Lukee85

Ok guys....my car is an N/A....I actually posted this in the wrong section! but you all have been a great help, any opinion changes as to where to go now that u know I have an N/A? I've been told good things about JMM? Thanks so much guys, like always your all very helpful and friendly, thanks. Lukee85

Hi guys, just a quick question, where's the best spot to go for tuning/editing and power runs in victoria? Where have you gone and got great results? How much? Thanks alot guys, Luke.

Well seeing as no one on the forum had any advice of opinions to offer to went along and spoke to ford, now the guy I deal with got a hold of the forman for the garage, popped my bonnet, reached into the engine and apparantly just "tightened a plug that can come loose sometimes" and I was off! yay! Now as for this "flash" they preformed in my car as a way to "start the process of finding the noise" which I think is total crap because wen I asked the guy at the counter "wat the hell was in that flash cos theres deffinately a power loss issue" he said "yeah, we have to flash all the cars with that now cos of new emissions laws, u get 10% less power off the mark" and apparantly they've had plenty of angry customers wanting there 10% back which they can't do! Anyway, needed to get that off my chest. Lukee85

Hi guys. Recently I have noticed a vibrating/tapping noise comming from the left handside of my 2004 BA n/a right in front of the passenger side seat. The car has just had its 105,000km service and I told the guys at ford about the problem and looked at it and then told me that the "first steps" were to upload some new "patch" into the computer and go from there if it still made the noise after the service. Now the bad news is it is still making the noise and I put my back out the next morning and havent been able to drive it really all that much for the last 2 weeks! When I could I got a mate to sit in the drivers seat and I gathered from me popping the hood and me listening outside and him changing between gears (its an auto) it makes noise in reverse and drive only and only at idle and the noise is much louder in reverse, but the strange thing is I couldnt hear any vibrating/tapping while I was on the outside of the car only wen I sat inside with my mate. So, hopefully im going back to work on monday if my back holds up and the ford customer service people are waiting on my call to have the car back to have another look but I thought id post this up (forgive the long winded write up!) and c if anyone has had this problem and if so wats the solution? Thanks guys, I hope u know something I or ford dont! Lukee85

Thanks a ton guys! Greatly appreciated! -Lukee85

What the hell is a "Bf xr8 lower headlight snorkle"? All this help is greatly appreciated guys but can u put it into real simple, "like u were talking to a child" terms please! Ive got my exhaust system sorted, the induction sys. I need some clarifying on. So far its, K&N panel filter (no point putting on a pod filter unless I want more noise), then just add these snorkle dealys (how in the hell do u do that?) and that's it? I dont need to worry bout ss induction kits etc etc? just bung on the filter and the snorkles and that'll do it? I just want to know wat is the best induction setup I can put on my NA and how to do it. and if anyone else is goin to PM or put on this post "just buy a T mate" ill scream! lol Lukee85

Can anyone explain some of these to me please? I get the exhaust system wats about the rest? Any help on induction systems? And for tires, would michelin PP2s be too much of an overkill? Thanks for putting up with my noobass questions guys/girls, I guess uv gotta start somewhere!

Hi all, I bought my BA NA XR6 about 6 months ago and now im ready to start the mods. I'm a young guy that doesn't know much about anything! Ive got a very basic knowledge of wat I can do and where I might start with the car being, exhaust, induction, chip, but have no idea wat could b the best stuff to get and where. I live in victoria and if anyone can help me out with some education and the like it would be greatly appreciated! so far the only thing I've got a quote on is the exhaust system that reads like this. " Pacemaker Headers, Metalic Hi Flow Cat, 2 1/2 mandral bent exhaust $1000" Is this good? It was from a custom place in Dandenong. Also, wat are some good tires I could put on my 17's? I'd probably spend $250 a tire? Please Help Me! -lukee85
