Following quote taken from Caradvice story on the Falcon Sprint: Original article here: http://www.caradvice.com.au/414656/2016-ford-falcon-xr8-sprint-xr6-sprint-turbo-revealed-limited-build-run-big-power/

Turbo Sprint will apparently have have 9" rears with wider rubber, which is a first for a factory XR6T/F6. Should make this the fastest factory Turbo XR6T/F6 produced.

Back in 2008 these wheels first featured on the 5th Anniversary FPV GT and after that they were also fitted to the 5L GT-E. Another parts bin special by the look of it.

For anyone looking this Typhoon sounds decent... http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/the-vines/cars-vans-utes/2006-ford-fpv-sedan/1099850012

I posted a fix for squeaky FG drivers seat over a year ago with pictures. Problem is related to seat base to seat rail bolts coming loose. On phone atm so can't search for thread.

Give Trent from TKO a call.

When you say "not running at all", do you mean car is stationery? If you have the car in gear with foot on brake the diff should not be making a continuous clunking sound. Sounds more gearbox related to me, flex-plate possibly.

Pickles vehicle condition report is not as bad some I've seen in the past. Could have been inspected in the rain though http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/item/-/details/conditionreport/CP-09-07--Built-09-07--Ford-Performance-Vehicles--F6-Typhoon--BF-Mk-II-R-Spec--Sedan--5-Seats--4-Doors/852152062

Cheap BF Typhoon R-Spec at Pickles. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/balcatta/cars-vans-utes/2007-fpv-f6-typhoon-bf-mkii-r-spec-6-speed-auto-seq-sportshift-sedan/1083531831

I found the specs that bjc is looking for

Adding extra depreciating debt onto your home loan which does not affect the value of the property is not a good long term investment. You want equity in your property and need equity in order to add to the loan. The bank wont just let you add to the mortgage that easily. If your mortage on the property is over 80% of the actual value you will be slugged with LMI (Lenders Mortgage Insurance) when and if you remortgage. Also bank valuations are about 10-15% below realistic market value so staying below the 80% can be tricky unless you originally only borrowed well under 80% or the value of the property boomed (which is highly unlikely in todays market). About 8 years ago in the property boom people were cleaning up on property. Build a house and walk away with an easy 100-150k profit after finishing it off and flogging it to some poor sucker. I got mates who built and sold 6+ houses in the boom time. Unfortunately I did not do as many These days though property values only appreciate about 5-7% a year max. We are going through the process atm and the place we are in now will not return even a third of the last place we sold 4 years ago. So in short, yes it seems like a good idea but in reality I'd keep the car seperate and pay it off asap.

Should bolt straight on to an FG XR6T sedan. You will need to trim the rear dust plate to accommodate the larger calliper. I could be wrong but from memory sedan rears are different to ute, so if you have a ute the rear will not fit.

I too would be looking at 600cc plus LAMS bikes. Unless you are 5 foot and weigh 50kg you will get over a 250/300 soon. One of my favorites is the Speed Triple 660

Exhaust tip could do with a clean

Could have also just installed Nova Launcher on the stock Samsung ROM. First thing I have done with all my Android devices.

You should just build your own place and rent a room out if you know the couple well and can trust them while you are away on site. Rates are low, there is plenty of good value land around the outer fringes of SOR and NOR Perth (bit of a problem if you are one of them that has to live in the magic triangle) and houses to build are (imo) better value today then they have been in the last 15 years. Have someone paying your mortgage rather then you paying someone else's

No to matte roof.

That's to carry a spare diff bush.

From what I have read and what media has reported, yes the XR8 will only be built in limited numbers due to production limitations such as the number they can actually build, limited supply of Boss 335 engines and ZF transmissions. This has all been discussed in detail over on AF forums and confirmed by members who work at Ford. I think the actual number they will build is around 1500-1600 in total over 18 months. This is also why some scum dealers are advertising auto XR8s for $75k, which is 10k over the drive-away RRP in all states. Nice kick in the balls for the faithful enthusiasts who were/are holding out to buy the last V8 Falcon. Also roumer is the V8 Mustang will start at around $60k. Plus it looks like (specs have been confirmed by Ford AU) that Australia is getting a slightly detuned version of the 5.0 V8 compared to what will sell in the US.

Before or after he bought the HSV?

^^ true

IMO sort out your house first and than save up for a late model BF if you can. They are only going to get cheaper and something will come up eventually, just have to be patient. I would not buy an early BA unless it was an F6. Also don't skimp on your house as you will only regret it down the track, cars are a lot easier and cheaper to replace

The updated 2015 300 being released in a few months will come with an 8 speed ZF and updated 184kw/570Nm diesel. The Grand Cherokee has had both since late 2013. The updated 2015 300 SRT8 will also come with an 8 speed ZF as well are the higher output HEMI (354kW/637Nm) as per the MY15 Grand Cherokee SRT. Hate as much as you want, but the above are some serious machines
