  1. that's a mate of mine, looks alright on the 20's though. It's a stock with cat back zorst and a custom by CV, running only 230rwkws. Ozzie
  2. The mondeo is nice but unfortunately I have to spend less on a car.... I'm sure I'll find one, sooner rather then later I hope. Missus is not talking to me till then... I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing... Anyway better get some sleep folks, its Christmas eve.... I hear raindeers... Ozzie
  3. Ernie, My guess is that you are running 3/4 throttle and the at a certain rpm the ECU is expecting either 1 WOT increase fuel supply and boost or 2 steady throttle continue steady on fuel supply. On a private road try WOT of take off and see if the problem happens. If not may need some tweaking on your tune to set WOT supply to 7/8 throttle rather the 3/4. Also have you done the solenoid clean? Ozzie
  4. Daz, can'r fit the 2 kids, pram and picnic stuf in a facus unfortunately hence my problem. I drove the an xr6 n/a today with a zf... what a difference, that box is magic - seamless - perfect. The only thing missing was the huge surge of power, but that's life. Ozzie
  5. My heart will always be blue... I was born with the blue oval , I'll die with the blue oval. Unfirtunately I can't find what I want. I found one 06 xr6 with zf but unfortunately it was bionic, missus doesn't like bionic. Not the right time of the yer for car hunting either.. Ozzie
  6. Thanx boys, yes I know but at least the I will have my licences for a bit longer and a bit more money from the petrol saving. Getting a lion will be the absolute last draw..
  7. :banghead: The beast is gone... timing could be worse with xmas here. Anyway the new owner will be enjoying it for the holiday. I would jjust like to thanx to all those who helped me out during my mods etc. Have a Meery Xmas and a Happy New Year. I am looking for a N/A so PM me if you know of any for sale prefer zf box and silver in colour. Take Care folk. Ozzie
  8. They must be talking about the sensors... Thanks to Flasher everything became history, nothing but a story book... Ozzie
  9. Geez I love the "maximum boost of 6psi" HAHAHA that lasted long... See what regualtions do, the make people say crazy stuff to get it through the system... Could you imagine they put, Garret GT40 Turbo capable of 14psi and the Barra 240T having the potential to hit 350fwkws with 4 grand spent on it... haow that would fly with the killjoys? Ozzie
  10. Looks like I've been Norti... Santa all I want is dual gauages and a zorst... not much... damn those lists... Oh well all the more drinking at tonight's XMAS party.. Ozzie
  11. Dan yes we in Syd have had Dan Murphys for awhile, unfortunately none near me... I visit my mate Jo and woolworths licher (spelling). Hi always has what I need, cold beer and aged reds..... and the occasional scotch... Ozzie
  12. How do they propose to create an Oz version of Top Gear if a chirp at the light can warrant your car being taken of you??? I guess all testing will be done on track which is not a true test for the road environment. Ozzie
  13. But if your only going to use it on the track and never on the road whats the problem????
  14. Tell me about it.. Chris don't you love it when you muck around in the traffic like that... Bad thing is it almost always happens when the missus is in the car... I launched with a CL merc yesterday poor bloke he was all show no go... Mine must have sounded pretty good spooling up as I went past him. He didn't come near me after that. I got to get out to WSID before I get my car taken away.... Ozzie
  15. Good stuff, I come down to that kebab shop occasionally. Maybe run into you then.. Ozzie
  16. So Steve you work around homebush then.. same here in Newington cross the Jail. let me know if you want to go on a lunch cruise
  17. I always get the urge to high beam but then I remember the the cops don't like that too much. I think we need to all spot FordXR6Turbo.com stickers on the front windows like the car clubs... or wack the hazards on for a few seconds. 1 of 5, yes I have seen her around a few times. Ozzie
  18. I agree The White Walls in this place are making me Slip up something silly. I begining to Burn Out of ideas... I'm going to Wets myself if I continue, but I will get my Groove back soon and then eventually Stick it. That was exhausting.
  19. Pool (side)
  20. Well from memory the cat actually cleans the gases released by the exhaust. Also without the cat you are omitting more deadly gases hence the bad smell. You don't want to be caught in a confined space (aka a garage) with the car running. Also as you increase the amount of fuel supplied to the engine through injector you also increase the unburnt fuel that leaves through the zorst. This could lead to flames out of the tail pipe.... no a good look with highway patrol around. Ozzie
  21. Good Idea Pat... Saw a black phoon with gold decals yesterday, driving in Greenacre brunker road.... should I also say a hot chick driving it.. number plate GR...something. Nothing like a hot chick driving a powerful car... especially when its a forced falc Ozzie ps. sorry if its anyone on heres partner....
  22. I think we are all.... . . . . . . . . . . Treading on thin ice...
  23. Daz work your magic... move it and I'm sure we will see alot of mums on here...
  24. belgium
  25. come on... that was GOLD, I can't believe that compound of humor didn't make you lay Flat Out with laughter...
