ya hit the nail on the head Ace. Its when it corners at a low speed. But I think it might also be when you change gears, so probably both. Does this also mean that it's a common thing?

Hey guys, Just went n test drove an XR6t, its a BA2002. The diff in it makes a strang deep slapping noise every so often. The owner tells me this is common for early model LSDs to make this sound. Is this true or is he playing it down? Also as I'm relatively new with XR6s, how much would an XR6 LSD cost me? Thanks guys

thanks for the advice marty, I definately understand what you're talking about. I've been driving for 2 yeras now and would liek to think im a very conservative driver. I never do anythign stupid, and it won't change if I get a nice car. I just dont' understand why young hoons, or anyone for that matter push their cars past the limit to the point where it puts them in an extremely dangerous situation.

Hi, I am on my Ps but got my license pre July 2007 so the old restrictions apply to me, I.e. 125kw/tonne or 3.5L/tonne On the vicroads website: http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/node/199 it notes that "If a vehicle is defined as high powered under one definition but not the other, it may be driven." with the definitions being: a power to mass ratio which exceeds 125 kilowatts per tonne; OR an engine capacity which exceeds 3.5 litres per tonne of the unladen mass (tare) of the motor vehicle Now according to redbook.com the 2002 XR6T has the following specs: Tare Mass (kg) 1690, Power 240kW, Engine Capacity: 4L So power to weight: 240/1.690 = 142kw/tonne I.e. over the 125kw/tonne limit However, engine capacity test: 4.0L/1.690 = 2.366L/tonne. I.e. under the 3.5L/tonne limit Now because it is defined as high powered vehicle under the first definition, but not the second, does that mean P-platers are allowed to drive them?? Has any one being a P-plater in Victoria been booked? Cheers

hi, im thinking about buying a xr6t. I am still on my p-plates for 1 more year so legally nto allowed to drive it. on aami and racv sites they still give me a quote. how ever will they still cover me if it is illegal to drive the car, even if I get a policy?? cheers

P plate drivers are restriced in some states to N/A cars and smaller motors and we think his from one of those states. ← Well I'm from Victoria so yeah. I'm pretty sure (last time I checked) that that XR6T was on the restricted vehicles list and the n/a XR6 was not. I've never actually considered the XR6T as 1) It's illegal and 2) they're usually more expensive 3) don't really want a turbo car for my first car, might sound stupid but I'd rather drive a n/a car for my first car as people always go on about how young drivers underestimate the speed of their car etc. etc. Having said that, I'm interested in the XR6 mainly because its a good looking car and the fact that right now, I feel second hand XR6s are good value for money (though im not sure how well they hold value). I'm not interested in how fast the car will go and what not, as I'm not the type of person to go around flooring it against every R33 who wants to drag. I'm completely opposite, though I have not been driving for long, I drive like any other 'normal' driver and never speed/race to show off etc. Which is another reason why im not too interested in the XR6T I thought picking a first car would be easy lol

Hey I'm currently on the hunt for my first car, not buying anytime soon but I want to start my research. I've fallen in love with the XR6 but unfortunately cannot drive the XR6T on my Ps. So im currently looking into buying an XR6 (non turbo) manual probably first series BA 2002 as they are they cheapest, I've seen a few go for 18-19. I have a few questions n queries. 1. First of all, would you honestly recommend such a car for a first car? Not just because of its power, but for also for the costs of petrol n maintenance. 1a. How does the XR6 go for fuel economy? 2. I remember reading somewhere when the the BA first came out that the manual versions had some clutch complications and they had to be fixed, what actually happened and have all the issues been resolved? 3. The speedometer of the XR6s dont have a 'red line' section on the RPM meter, but there is a 'red line' section for the Kph section from 120kmh to 260kmh, I have no idea why this is so could someone please explain it to me 4. Just out of curiosity, is there anyword from Ford about a new falcon? Just curious as Ford and Expensive Daewoo usually release their new Commodores and Fords very close to each other and the VE has been out for a while now. And.. I think that's it for now Thanks guys
