  1. Happy Birthday ravenhard!

  2. you may want to check but fifth gear is definitely still being made. They announced that it was cancelled but brought it back a few months later. They just had season 17 with 10 episodes. Not as long as it previously was and will less presenters, just Vicky, Tiff, Jason and the young annoying one with no driving talent
  3. Just on this, my mate got done for the gearknob. He got it explained that the factory knobs are ADR compliant due to showing the "H" pattern, basically where all the gears are and reverse. Aftermarket knob's dont, so incase of an emergency people who need to move your car will know where all the gears are. You might say well all the gearboxes are the same. Most are such as the aussie and japs ones but some European cars have reverse in a funny spot near first as oppose to near fifth/sixth
  4. You might get your point across a little better if you used punctuation and grammer because that was so hard to read. I do agree thou, turbo cars are thrasted, no matter who you buy them from.
  5. no there not. The premium kit for the BA xr's only had 303mm solid rears. The kit you got off me, I got the 328mm vented rears seperate to the fronts. Plus the fronts are different too, 325mm(BA) to 322mm(FG) with different calipers
  6. back to your original question, its 30mm min thickness
  7. can you have a turbo car while on your P's? Do you want auto or manual? are you doing any mods? if you can get at least a BF 2005 model. There are some creeping below the 20G mark now that arent exchasers
  8. have you seen this thread from rapidsystem. Half the price of other offerings http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=68226
  9. did a quick search and found the lap records for cars there on the superlap website Superlap Australia – Time Attack » Eastern Creek Lap Records shows V8 Supercars Mark Skaife Late model camira VT 1:31.7301 28/03/99
  10. I thought the blocks themselves were the same BA-BF. I did see this on ebay the other day "XR6 Turbo Motor Sport block. Extremely rare, one of a batch cast by Ford Racing for their XR6 Turbo motor sport program in 2003." XR6 Turbo Motorsport Block - eBay Anyone know much about it?
  11. do you really want to know the cons? you have already bought the thing.....as for pros well better battery and alternator and ofcourse alot cheaper but Im sure you worked that second part out already. if it was mine I would get it fully checked out by a reputable ford tuner who would go over it with a fine tooth comb:)
  12. yes its true, a turbo diesel craptiva. It was actually the misses choice for a change. 7 seats, leather and a roof mounted dvd with wireless headphones for the kids.
  13. actually the best part of the cruises was listening to Nicks *beep* erotic beastiality jokes! oh and its not goodbye, its see you in 3 years. that's when Im allowed to buy another T, maybe even a F6
  14. actually not making excuses but I dont enjoy driving it anymore. Without the big rims and suspension mods, it feels non responsive and floaty. Without the power mods feels like a slug and without the big brakes it feels down right dangerous
  15. car is stock as a rock and in my opinion drives like sh*t without the mods. Car is safely locked in old mans garage Im having more fun driving my new Expensive Daewoo or old my toyota
  16. aww thank you, but I dont know how much longer I will be a member here. About to sell my car and almost sold all my parts......actually now that I dont have a XR6T I'm inline to be a mod
  17. no thank you, I always appreciate a bit of girl on girl on duck action
  18. I had this issue when I formatted my PC and installed IE8. I solved it by going to tool and unclicking "compatibility view"
  19. They are bloody awesome. Yes its true you need to take the bar off or at least the undertray to at even get to the filter, but a KN filter should be good for 12months or longer between cleans(depending on how dusty it is where you live). Also yes I wouldnt cross any swallow river beds or flooded creeks, but seriously, would you consider crossing water that's 30-40cm deep in a car that is as low as an XR6T. Also you can't use it with the stock IC kit. Would need a IC kit that gets rid of the underbattery IC piping. Bit of a bitch to fit and requires a bit of cutting of metal. But I suppose its better than relocating your battery to the other side of the engine bay or the boot. All that aside, it sounds great, like a fighter jet on take off. Improves performance and reduces lag.
  20. No. from memory there is 2 bolts that sit under the throttle body that holds the fuel rail. Without undoing the fuel rail you cant remove the injectors. Why do you not want to undo the throttle body? with the right tools, its just 4 hex headed bolts holding the thing on. And then the wiring for the TPS to remove. Would take all of 5 mins to undo
  21. I'm just waiting for how the govt will spin this obvious grab for money helps takes cops off infringments to catch serious crims, just think of how much safer out children will be hoons are evil mmkay encourages you to take more public transport, so they can make more money off you help ease congestion of badly designed and over used city roads Im sure it will be like insurance with pay extra for pay by the month enviromently friendly solution to being a tightarse obvious money grab as most people travel during peak hour, they used this on the harbour bridge to convince people to travel outside of peak, but hasnt changed the amount of people using the bridge during peak, just increase revenue weird one considering every suburb in Sydney has some form of public transport, might be good for coutry areas
  22. I notice more induction noise and then more flutter on lift off the throttle just by installing a KN panel filter. Would take about 2 secs to put on and off.
  23. if your that keen for a exchaser, why dont you do direct to where the dealers get them from and visit the govt auction website. They currently have a fixed priced 08 T with 67ks going for $24300. Get that and fix the holes yourself
