Today at Woolies Caltex Lakeside Joondalup at about 4.10PM - a white BF series Typhoon with the rego 'RSPEC FPV' filling up with 98RON fuel. Passenger was a heavy looking bloke with a shaved head and goatee, driver a tall skinny dude with long hair who waited in the drivers seat.... slowly sipping a beer

No worries mate, anytime The train ride out to Midland wasn't as bad as I was expecting!!

I've been taking Kevo's car back and forward to XFT for the past couple of week getting bits and pieces done, Simon, Mike and the guys are really helpful and know their stuff!! This is a vid I took on my phone when the car was having overboost issues and let me assure you, in real life the car sounded like the RAAF making an extra low pass!!

Thanks for using my account dude

haha yer its a pain in the ass hey hanra, The car all of a sudden started to idle like a pig, so going off what I have heard about unichips I am having it removed and getting Simon from Xtreme ford tuning to do a custom edit instead. Thanks for the feedback ZAP F6 and TURBO4LT, this site couldn't be any more helpful!!! kevo

I'm asking $28K for mine, willing to negotiate a tad of course In the 'cars for sale' section

Hi folks/powers-that-be, I want to advertise my T as being For Sale, but can't create the topic. I'm denied and the reason given is that I do not have permission. This should be my 95th post, and the eligibility requirements say I must have 25 posts before I can create a topic. The reason given for the 25 post limit is to stop people registering to flog their stuff, but I've been a member since 2003!! Help??

Is that a box of KFC in the groom's hands? And is the copper writingon the boot of the car? Man, they're all class.....

I still reckon you should get your V8 Kombi running - you're 99.9% there! You haven't run your new Holley yet!! http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=64000 http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=58521 http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=56799 http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=51089

Whatever it is you get mate, can't wait to see it at the plex (and have my doors well and truely blown off)!!!

That was me, my first time spotted a known forum member! I was taking my sister in law out car shopping, looking at Focus Zetecs (not XR5s yet). I was telling her about the whole forum and community thing and she thought it was hillarious! Also saw 'ME01' at Bunnings car park in Edgewater - Red XR6T with aftermarket taillights and xft sticker on the back window

Saw 'GTPHANTOM' on Burns Beach Road monday or tuesday night, braking going uphill for no reason and doing less then the limit too. Nearly called the boys in blue suspecting a stolen car!

Saw Dorko in the city on William St on Friday morning, then again on Burns beach Rd on Saturday!

Just to end the threadjack, the BA MK2s have chromed foot pedals as standard and the MK1s do not.

Saw 'RAPIDXR6T' heading north on Wanneroo Rd this afternoon. I was in disguise in my rental Thrifty truck heading the other way

My father-in-law has some Andro, I'll use a little bit of it around the wheels one day when the car's not going to be moving for a little bit, and Ant-Rid on the ground nearby as well to attract and kill them. This is a great idea, might end up doing that if nothing else works. Afterwards I'll get a car detailer out to give the inside and outside a really good clean. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll post updates after I give it a good crack

I thought about a natural rememdy but it would crap everywhere! I did use some surface spray around the edges and anywhere I could see them congregating which killed a heap. I washed the car a couple of days later and it had mixed with grime and was a bugger to get off. I don't wanna kill the duco and the biggest problem is on the outside. Any paint-friendly ant killer anyone know of??

I need some help and advice for a small problems I have - they're running riot in and out of my car!! My wife and I went on a four month trip and had the car stored under a cover at the in-laws place. The problem was that we forgot about some XX mints in the console. In the final few weeks a family of ants found them and even though the food is gone and I'm constantly giving them agood vacuuming, brushing etc. I don't seem to be getting anywhere! Can anyone recommend something I can use that will get rid of the buggers (preferrably poisioning) without damaging the interior or paintwork? Or is my only option to have a car detailer out? If so who's good in Perth?? Thanks

If everyone follows the roundabout rules then everything works smoothly. It's those that either have no idea or don't care that cause problems. Those who indicate incorrectly bug me more than those who don't indicate at all! I love roundabouts when people follow the rules, no-one has to wait too long and the traffic flows smoothly. (Having said that I've flipped a Suzuki Sierra on a roundabout with no assistance from any other vehicle, but it wasn't my fault the council decided to water the roads and not the grass next to it!!)

Thanks guys, that is a bit of a relief! We've been gone about two months already and I'm glad four months isn't that bigger deal. It is being driven only to move it out of the way, so the battery isn't disconected. I was a bit unsure about Cro's startup proceedure, thinking that he was pulling my leg but I'll definately give it a go!! Cheers

Hi guys, The missus and I are on a round-the-world jaunt for four months and the car will not be moving (much) for those four months, being under lock and key. When I come back, what would be best way o get it back to normal? It's a BA2 XR6T with a 6 speed. She's got about a quarter of a tank of Shell Optimax in her, has 34,000 Ks on the clock and had a flawless 30,000 Km service. I'm thinking I take her on the road, drive her to the servo and fill up, seeing as the PULP in the tank will probably be close to dead. I'll take her for a gentle cruise to get her warmed up and to a car park and do a few lock-to-lock turns to get fluid in the diff and powersteering flowing properly again. No hard driving until at least the third tank of petrol. Any thought or comments? Footnote: * PULP is equivalent AU$0.93c/L in USA, AU$2.40/L in England * In Ireland, insurance will set you back at least AU$2000 on a Nissan Micra, and won't cover the first AU$12,000 of damage (or so I've been told). * In northern cities in Winter in the USA, the authorities salt the roads. Therefore, most people (who can afford it) have a cheap 'winter' car to let rust and a good 'summer' car for driving. * Every second Taxi in Las vegas is a Chrysler 300C, every second Limo is a Hummer H2 stretched. * In the USA, GM, Ford and Chrysler are in big financial trouble, and getting 0.00% finance is attainable when buying a new vehicle.

Saw 5inful turning onto Walcott St about 5.30 yesterday. Looking good!

OK, so I located this handy wiring diagram and it looks like the boot amp is only powering the sub? Am I reading this right? Which means I can go around this amp altogether and install my own amp to run the sub only? Also then all the other speakers are receiving full-range signal fom the ICC or he ICC is doing the filtering itself. Thoughts or comments? Pat

I think you might be right, it would just too easy otherwise. I don't suppose you'd know which wires on the amp to hack into?
