bjc does yours get worse when th A/C is turned on ??? mine does the same thing exactly..

sh*t mate not good at all! Hope it all gets better with the coming C4! any photos of the carnage? yes im sad but hey...

just wanting to put a kill switch in the XR and was wondering if anyone has done this before and how hard/easy was it? not asking details or anything security related, just generally.

I mounted mine on the left hand side of the boot on the raised section that sits just in front of the factory amp mate. If you look under the car you can see it raiseed/embossed there and the tank next to it. my camera isnt working so no photos sorry, pm me a phone number and I can sms you some though. Ryan

Pete With all this sh*t rain the last few days I noticed mine does this also, after crapping myself and crawling over the engine bay on the side of the road in the rain that is. So your not alone in this worry mate! it gets brighter the quicker they are also it seems. Dont know how to fix but help would be handy also. Ryan

P H A T PHAT! mate it looks the goods! very unique also!

saw a black ute with turbo badges and 350 on the sides and red body moulds alos. outside sutherland hospital

no way in hell will reg ark up at Ghia girl

HERE HERE first thing I do when starting the XR is turn T/C off.. Feels much safer when its off as the car is predictable not like a drunken wallaby..

hey fella's long time since I have ben kicking around on here. Hope to see and catch up with alot of you on the cruise on the 5th! Ryan

as its going now work is taking off, prisons have never been so full so I'm kept constantly working

heathcote for me guys!

chalk up another confirmed one Reg!! might as well come out of the cobwebs and have a good blast, been way to busy for past 12 weeks and time to relax! Hopefully new goodies on by then too! Ryan

blame fords lax tollerances mate, some are weapons some are slugs from the factory, plenty of evidence around to back that up (stock dyno runs etc) Dont worry tune it and you wont be nit picking anymore mate!

Thanks guys, I have seen it done on a RAPID xr8 but with bright silver highlights. RSK getting the roof done in black suade, will put the pictures up when its done. More pictures tonight hopefully of the vents and fitted trims..

So I got bored during my last day at my current job and decided to show the start of my Interior Mods. Trade price from mates at Domenelli Ford Kirrawee netted me all new A, B & C pillar garnish's including Tweeter Grills. Out Came the Factory Air vents on Drivers and Passengers sides, A, B pillars, out came the Lap Air vents. Also to come out where the Sunshades, Grab Handles, Map Lights, Courtsey Lights & Suit Hooks. A, B, C trims new (dismantled) Sunshades and misc parts Dis-mantled everything I could (vents broken right down) Grills out. Map Lights dis-Mantled. Mirrors masked up. Safety Instructin masked. Broke out the Plastic Primer, Emery paper and Pressure Packs. Wet n Dry sanded everything back, plastic primed and then manly lights coats of black or metallic to match the ICC. Tweeter Grill Done in the ICC metallic to contrast, Pillars done in Black. Clear Coated everything after good coverage with base coats. Painted A. B & C Pillar Trims Dismantled Installed new painted A pillars and Tweeter grills. Re-assembled Vents, re-attached map lights, courtesy lights (replae globes), grab handles, coat hooks. B pillars installed (seat belt needs to be removed to do this) Yet to install C pillars (parcel shelf needs to come out) and re-trim roof in Black Suade (will be sent to a professional to be done) More to come yet! More picture up soon! What do people think so far???? Ryan

XR smart words mate, not everyone has 4.5 or more to just fork out on there car. I hope mine holds out but time will tell

Smart man, I agree with you mate, better to drive than fix I reckon and a bit of mechanical empathy helps though. Nice sensible street car not too off its tits.

XR2DI4 my XR has 118xxxkm on it, bought it at 106xxx and no problems here, T5 manual, replaced the diff bush and that's all that was needed. It cops a flogging and its still going strong with no wear evident and no problems. As people said oil screen and oil changes regulary and you should be ok, if it goes it goes mate!

Mine's lasted over 300kw with a twin plate punishing it and no dramas here give it hits all the time 118 xxx kms and still going and going, no problems what so ever... Good linear tune with no cronic torque hit and the T5 should be alright mate but your pushing it like me! I dont know why everyone rites them off, if there treated right (serviced) and tuned conservatively they can hold decent numbers.

Hate to be the 2ND bearer of bad news but you guessed right on the locating mate.... B*$tard Pat don't you work while at work haha!

Waytoslow, mate you'll love the BA once you get some mods done, flash tune it and you will see a big difference mate! I went from a AUIII XR6 to the xr6T and never looked back mate!

Pat thanks mate, it still is just getting there, injectors will be installed next week hopefully till then I try to keep off it.... 03xr6t - yup mate its not bad, not perfect though much more to come when the 60lb's go in

12psi whoops....

Of course Sir...... cranny - rapid cooler, intake, custom exhaust, valve springs, ci twin plate organic pushing 304kw on 21psi still learning to drive it hence the whipping..
