phantomxrt

Love your work Grant!!!!!!!!

Congratulations man! I've been visiting this site regularly since I bought my phantom T in January 2003. Best car I've ever owned. Every time I've had an issue it's been addressed by the Dealer, and like many other visitors to this forum, (and to my great shame!), I usually only posted when I was frustrated by an issue which seemed insurmountable at the time. Enjoy your car, and enjoy the forum. It's well-populated, well-informed, and well-managed. Cheers, Ivan.

Spot on. XR is a generic Ford brand nomenclature which is applied globally to performance marques periodically. EXperimental Racing was indeed it's origin.

Dear xarh6turbo, You penultimately requested information on "everything all the piping from the air intake to the intercooler to the turbo I want something that shows the whole system". Understandably, you became a little irate with the the tenor of the replies to your initial requests. But we are only human. You just need to appreciate the humour from the guys here (many of whom, through trial and error and lots of their own hard-earned dollars, are T gurus in every sense of the term). But if you don't appreciate it, then you really need to look at the catalyst for the replies you got. Tighten up your grammar, my friend, so we know what you're talking about in the first place. cheers....

Re: Does anyone know whether the DJR spoiler can be purchased? I contacted the guys who make the DJR aero bits a couple of months ago. They are happy to sell the bumper add-ons and skirts, but they say that the wing is made exclusively for DJR. So they're unwilling/unable to sell it.

......you can almost feel their pain, can't you!

Thanks for that info re: the price on Steve's (Redcliffe Dyno) bonnet, Goose. I've also just learned that the cost of the shaker (like on the red GT) is........wait for it......... $1,500 plus $400 installation. Nice additions, but at a hell of a cost. Especially for we Sydneysiders who already spend fortunes on tolled roads, tunnels and bridges and stuff.

Absolutely agree. The pelicans who drive in the fast lane deserve to have the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits. But, and this is not intended disrespectfully, many times the people who are hogging that lane are actually overtaking. It's just that the speed limits are so draconianly enforced, that many people begin an overtaking manoeuvre, only to find that a serious increase in speed is needed to move into a position to move back into the lane. So they stay put, sometimes on Cruise Control, and inch ahead gradually. It's been said that if you stay in the fast lane on a German autobahn, you'll be wiped out by a faster vehicle. That may well be true, and people consequently overtake, then move the hell out of the lane quickly to avoid being rammed. Well, the difference here is that there is no risk of being wiped out, because the limits are so low. So there's a) no motivation to move left quickly (I.e. no risk of a fast car wiping you off the map), and b) the fear of enforcement if you give your car a squirt and move back asap. Just my humble opinion.

......not that there's anything wrong with that......

NA, Thanks for posting the link. As sickening to the gut that it is (looking at the horrors and pain endured by those poor souls) - even the word "Sarcophagus" sounds like something from a Satanic verse - sometimes it's good to be reminded of just how good life is for us here in this country at the moment... Cheers mate.
