Some updated pics - have been trying to restore it to AS NEW. Side skirts painted, front bar painted, under guard detail, engine bay detail, new genuine front headlights, etc

Yeh true.. not really into drag racing, more just want something to cruise in and scare some friends and relatives with 25psi lol

Ah ok thanks mate, might just be easier to go 6 speed manual conversion...

Thanks boys! Very happy with it so far.. I actually really like the 4 speed BTR as it has been tuned to suit and has much firmer shifts... looking at perhaps just buying a built BTR when I go for the next round of mods and 500rwkw.. unless there's another option that will keep drivability and handle the power?

Hey guys, Just got a new XR6T from the mainland (I'm in Tassy) Just thought I'd share a few pics.. Good to be back in a Barra after selling my F6 RSpec a little while ago.. - 2005 MKII - 101,000kms original - Rapid V3 intercooler kit - SMB turbo back exhaust system - Walbro 255 with upgraded hoses at tank - Valve springs - FG turbo exhaust housing, ported/flapper mod with 12PSI actuator - Low temp high flow thermostat - Iridium plugs - 5x Genuine FPV "Cobra" wheels - 6 / 4 Brembos - BILSTEIN shocks all round with upgraded heavy duty lowered springs - WhiteLine adjustable swaybars with upgraded bushing and a camber caster kit - Triple gauge pod - DJR lip spoiler - BF tail lights - 344rwkw @ 15psi - tuned by PitLane 8 or so years ago and still going strong! Cheers!

guys this is just a quick shot of under my car.. is the bellhousing meant to not line up properly and have holes in the side there? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AozJGemTOSiRhJ8ao-x8S50AIE6jkA

Thanks mate I have been told it was built by Duane Evans at hi torque performance when they were around.. no idea on the clearance specs or anything :(

Thanks guys, does anyone know what range the stock FPV oil pressure gauge shows? with the oil that I just dropped it would sit at 1/3 when idling and when I revved it it went to 2/3 under load. I will keep an eye on this new and see what it reads

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have the following engine build in my car: - Cosworth Forged Pistons - Howard I-Beam Conrods - ARP Main Studs - ARP Head Studs - Cradle Gurdle - Billet Oil Pump Gears - Steel Head Gasket - Crow valve springs. Is there a recommended oil for this combination? I cant ring the engine builder as they dont exist anymore.. I bought some Penrite racing 15w-50 - 100% pao ester synthetic... Will this be OK? Engine would have like 15,000kms on it maximum. Cheers,

Thanks Keith, it has a remoter bleeder and apparently already has a mal wood twin plate upgraded clutch... I can confirm the remote bleeder as I used it to bleed my clutch fluid a few months back. If it has the remote bleeder im sure it is the metal CSC as part of the mal wood kit. I will order a CSC and take it to the shop to inspect. Is there anything else I should order/replace if im changing the CSC? Spigot, thrust bearing or anything?

Thanks Keith, makes sense as I am also getting some clutch drag when downshifting.. Know the best place to order a new CSC?

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone would know why my clutch would be making a whirring noise when launching in first gear, or even in reverse, followed by a bad clutch smell.. ? Car drive perfectly fine otherwise, and clutch holds fine under boost. There just seems to be an issue when im launching up hill or reversing up an incline, etc. I'm not riding the clutch or anything, literally just feels like the clutch can't engage properly as soon as there is a hill or incline that I'm driving up.. Thanks,

build 47, white, 6 speed manual

Guys my car arrived yeterday, where will you be tonight??? Anywhere near the NW coast?

so the transport company say my car is being by the weekend, and then im in brisbane on sunday. Work is too crazy to be away from too, I guess I will catch you on the next one. I will be at the devonport show on the 25th showing the car in case anyone is coming to that! cheers,

still available?

yes! well, I am going interstate on the 11th but I could perhaps join you guys on the 8th or 9th? what time do you get in to devonport? I just bought an f6 typhoon r spec today from a guy on the mainland, so I will be in my barra and not in the sv6 ute! I havent done much exploring up here yet, only driven once through the tarkine which was amazing, and cradle mountain, but apart from that not much else! too busy working.

Burnie, north west coast...

hey guys I moved to tassie a year ago and im looking at buying another barra shortly. there are some amazing roads down here, you'll all have a blast! Maybe I can join you on a leg in my SV6 Ute?

I've had mainlube in my car for over a year now, and I have NO noises whatsoever in my box. I used to get a sticky shifter, really bad rollover noises, bearing noises, all sorts of stuff. The mainlube was easily the best money I spent on my gearbox. T56 BA MKII.

Hey guys, Just detailed her for preparation of perhaps selling her. Just thought I'd chuck some of the happy snaps up. Cheers, Christiaan

+1

I'm going to offer him 8k.

so, is there anywhere doing good prices on CV's these days? Ones that won't snap after 30kms?
