  1. Should be a weapon once completed and tuned.
  2. Got a genuine G6E lip in Ego and need it painted white. Already got an XT boot lid that took months to hunt down in the right colour
  3. Mike, have you upgraded the sub yet?
  4. If I get stuck Steve I might hit you up for Mikes number. Problem is because its such a small job most places are too busy and not interested. Cheers
  5. Luke, I assume this is not a one off that you have negotiated on bulk buy? I probably wont touch mine for a while yet and don't have a PWR cooler yet so thinking might be jumping the gun if I buy oil and have ti sitting around for a year Cheers
  6. Anyone here a spray painter or can they recommend anyone good? Mike you still around? I need a boot lip spoiler and front bumper armor (ABS plastic) painted and just a bit concerned about paint matching and not wanting to get it done twice. Cheers
  7. No instructions required. You just need the following tools and safety gear
  8. Pretty sure Brembo brakes will not fit under any Ford 19" except those on the FPVs.
  9. Sounds like a good excuse for a cruise to Northam?
  10. "Pharken 2 litre diesel".........gold!!

    Thanks for the update mate. Yours holds boost better then most I have seen. Must feel good with 16psi in the mid and feel a lot stronger. Do you have the new or old style venom bolt in cat?

    Racexr does your car have a stock actuator? Looking at the graph it peaks at 16-17psi holds about 14psi in the top end. The ones that make ~300rwkw only hold about 11psi up top.
  13. F6, nice!!!! Joining the FG brigade Luke? Pending this does not start and finish in Geraldton I will try and come out for this one. Cheers
  14. What cat is in the car now? The Venom bolt in cats seem to ok, so curious to know if that is what you are running?

    Good numbers there, you gotta be happy with that. What has been done to this apart from the tune mate? Cheers
  16. Ciaran, I got a petrol Mondeo for sale if you are interested. Not quiet 7l/100km but gets over 700kms out of 65l of PULP
  17. Ahhhh my bad, I did not realise the OP had a 6/4 pot Brembo setup
  18. Hey Dan, If you run a 35 profile tyre at the back it will be taller then the front and may cause issues with ABS and Stability Control due to the variance in wheel speed. A 275/30R19 is very close to a 245/35R19 in terms of overall wheel diameter. A 285/30R19 would be ideal, but the trouble is, its not a very common size and you have limited choice in terms of tyres that come in that size. Check this calculator as it explains the difference in size: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator/245-35R19/285-30R19/275-30R19/275-35R19 While staggered cannot be rotated they will give your car a tougher look, so its a trade off between practicality and looks. Use this calculator to work out how the wheels will sit compared to your factory wheels: http://kgm.tiwing.com/calcs/offsetcalc.htm The factory wheels are 19x8 ET+36. If you do 8.5" all round or staggered, both options will fill out your guards more and give your car a tougher looking stance. +1 for the The Wheel Deal, very helpful and good to deal with And according to The Wheel Deal site and this picture it looks like these wheels are Brembo friendly......
  19. 1) Am I better getting a staggered set - I.e with wider rears and thinner fronts? Or just 9.5 all around? Staggered will look better and might give you better traction due to having a wider rear tyre. I am not sure if a 9.5" +35 would fit the front, however I doubt it. 2) Does anyone know if these will clear 6/4 brembo's? Ask supplier. 3) What fitment would fit an FG - Are falcons the 114.3? 19x8.5 5x114.3 ET+35 19x9.5 5x114.3 ET+35 4) Will a staggered fitment rub or require any guard rolling? With the above offset guards will not need to be rolled on an FG. 5) What would be the best tyre size for a staggered fit? I want to go as wide as I can on the rear without rolling guards, running insane camber or any fowling. 19x8.5 - 245/35R19 19x9.5 - 275/30R19 or 285/30R19
  20. I am getting ATR Sport 2 with my wheels that are on order so should be able to give some feedback on general noise and grip levels. Don't drive the car hard or have huge power so my experiance may differ to those running big numbers. Current 19" OEM Dunlops are pretty noisy IMO.
  21. Whoever wrote that article has NFI. They should proof read their material and check their figures if they are going to quote them.
  22. I agree Friday night is a good time for a cruise. Last cruise I went on was a Friday night, was a bloody long time ago too Will have to miss this one but hopefully will be able to make it to one soon.
