BioXR6T

Hello, Dont usually mean to complain as this is my 3rd xr6t and I think the cars are great, 1st was the 5 spd manual 2004 (280 RWKW), then as a company car I had the new 6spd XR6T (Stock) and know I decided to by another with the 6spd (stock) manual BF. I just cannot understand the difference in fuel usage from the 6spd auto (ave 12.5) to the 6spd manual I have know, which is struglling to stay under 13.7 in the ACT; babying it and trying to change gears under 3000rpm. (Both cars where stock) Some differences I noticed is that on the highway at 115km/h the 6spd auto use to rev under or close to 2000rpm, the manual is around 2300rpm. Even the BA 5spd turbo I had use to rev under 2000rpm what have Ford done with the ratios on the 6spd manuals? On the highway between the ACT and Sydney the 6spd could get down to 9L / 100; the manual struglles to get below 10L/100. (avg speed of 115-120km/h) Even the 5spd I had could average under 10 at those speeds) All in all it is a nice car but I would never by a manual again. (Does anyone want to buy one?) Tom

Hello, I only got my 6spd BF last weekend and had along side my mates BA XR6T and noticed that my back disks and callipers were larger then his but only on the back. Did BF's come out with a different brake package standard? Can dealers tell if a car has had the edit? How? Is this a new? Tom

Hello, This may be a silly question but I have not seen it mentioned on past posts, but can I run e10 ethonal on the moderate cappa tune? I believe you only need 95RON and that what etonal delivers? Tom

Do you know anyone who is selling the cappa box?

Hello, I have been out of the game for quite a while and the last car I modified (2004) was a XR6T which had the APS 2 kit and made 271rwkw. Due to new work commitments I have just purchased a 4/2006 BF XR6T and wanted some advice to mod it slightly as it is work car. I want get around 300kw at fly wheel. As I am not familiar with the current tunes available, this is what I think I need to do: As it is a 4/2006 BF valve springs should be o.k for that type of power Remove centre muffler - (Does anyone know how load the car gets and does it drone at higher speeds as I do alot of K's) Cappa flash tune Will the above be enough for 300 fly wheel KW? With the new flash type tune is there any way that Ford can detect tune when it is flased back to normal when service and warrenty work gets done? Thanks Tom
