  1. Hey guys, iv just done a upgrade on my system and have been told by my installer I need a bigger battery to supply more juice. I want to know exactly what I should be looking for, why I need it, and what the differences are between your normal and bigger batteries.
  2. Hey Guys, does anyone have photos from the rear of there car of there stainless mufflers/exhaust? my brothers got a stainless system on his phoon and I loveee the look of it from behind, but I dont know if on the XR's you would be able to see it like you can on a phoon. anyone with photos pleaseeee post I want to see before I dont get it and regret it!
  3. What did it cost you to paint the bonnet??
  4. what would an auto elec in melbourne charge to install a starter button into a BA ?
  5. hey guys there are similar topics to this previously posted but none have specific answers. a little while ago my car alarm would randomly start going off at any time during the day. sometimes 1 minute after I locked it, sometimes hours later etc etc. even when left unlocked it would start going off. so I replaced the batteries in both my controls and it seemed to fix the problem. that was about 1 year ago. the same problem has started again where it goes off randomly, often in the middle of the night. I replaced both remote control batteries again and its done it once since they have had new batteries. should I buy 2 brand new sets of remotes for my car? (BA 04)
  6. how much roughly would you want for them? just to let you know mines a NA, so they would go straight in?
  7. hey guys after a while of trying a few things, ITS STILL TICKING!!! I tried injector cleaner, didnt do anything, put it on my auncles dyno, had a quick look,injectors where fine, replaced the fuel filter & gave it a service,just in case the oil that was put in was too thin, but still its ticking. I dont think it would be anything else then the lifters than im aware of. anyone got thoughts or ideas????
  8. hey guys, looking into getting some diff gears,somthing around 3:7's. where can I get them from?????
  9. hey guys I found a member selling a lsd diff centre on another ford forum, and he has mentioned as long as they have the M78 centre it will fit. is that standard in a NA or will it need to be purchased? and how much would it cost if needed to be purchased??
  10. I too was thinking about a cam, but from ratters comment it has sort of put me off now. so what would be a better option either 1 or the other WITH a tune in terms of power, a cam or diff gears? im not sure but my understanding is diff gears give better power down low? what sort of ratio would be good? and what would the difference be compared to standard??
  11. hey guys, looking at matching soem bilstein shocks with king springs in about a month or so, what price would I be looking at for the shocks all round? and who can get and supply them around western suburbs,melbourne?
  12. hey mate my car is making a similar sound also, at idle I can hear it after a decent drive, and also on the freeway its I can hear it fairly loud. it sounds like its coming from near the injectors or fuel rail? around that area, could be lifters though, not too sure. did you end up finding out what it was? I think I may have the same problem also. would it have anything to do with the injectors or fuel rail? and would it be bad for the motor to drive it in that condition or is it alright for short term till the bank permits
  13. awesome! cant wait to get them you got any pics xrt of your car?? I want to see how the ssl's sit also so I have an idea when I lower it. how was the ride difference from standard to the ssl's? they handle much better? and stiffer? also, do you have 245's on the front?
  14. hey guys im going to get a set of starcorp fusions, 19's for my XR. I was looking at getting 245's for the front, 275's for the rear. reason for fatter tread on the back is that I like the look of a beefed up rear with fatter tyres. the price difference in having 245's all round instead of 275 rears isnt my issue, my issue is after getting the rims, il be looking to lower the car. just wanted to get some opinions on how the car would be if lowered with 275's in the rear, as I know some guys on here have 285's in the rear. is it worth it? and also suspension wise what would my best options be? compressing standard springs? replacing them? as I wouldnt want to spend ridiculous money just for an inch or 2 lower. dont know a whole lot myself in this area so all help appreciated guys. also if you can post up pics of your cars with fatter tread on the back. thanks.
