  1. The 5.0 Love flames got it shooting out two or three big flames every time I down shift into second in the higher rpm range
  2. I'm running no cats (straight pipe) on E85 an barely get any smell at all. I agree, in SA 100cell cats will still get you in trouble, so I just bit the bullet and went straight pipe myself. Cars sounds amazing and gives off not much smell at all. Plus you get this
  3. Alright guys, so after yesterdays fun times with J D Tuning, I put together a quick video, shot off my Iphone Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvuxE...ature=youtu.be
  4. Lowering blocks are a pain and sacrifice handling. Get a reset leaf springs and coil overs for the front. I'd recommend Shockworks coil over system, as they have been designed for the FG cars. As for power and control, it depends what your goals are? When I was running the ute daily with a 460rwkw tune it handle fine with standard suspension. A little boaty in the hills but still nothing as bad as people claim. I've been in a ute where a mates just slammed it with kings and blocks.. and my god, it's terrible! couldn't stand how awful it handled. But then again, it's up to the individual!
  5. Cheers Benny As I said, big things to come, and a couple of mods I want to share/ show you all!
  6. So, thought I'd touch base with you guys considering I had my other thread pulled, due to some issues it was causing. However! we are now past that, and it's time for a bright future ahead. I'll be posting up a whole new thread within the next 2 months. Big plans and a couple of tasteful mods will be happening, as well as the 1/4 mile drags I'll be doing in Sept. Looking forward to sharing everything with you guys!
  7. Can't go past the Race tunnels hahaha
  8. Hahaha! that was all of us at 3.30am this morning on the ferry going to murray bridge! Was s big night of crusing
  9. Man I remember jet doing a fat burnout in harbour town with the white XR6T and Foyle and I being the babies of the group! Still are :/
  10. I ran off and bought a hilux after my turbo.. Got bored of driving over things so now I'm back in a tyre fryer :D
  11. I dont even know if we have the support or team these days to do a big Ohmo cruise :( But we can try :D
  12. Oh man... I miss the old cruising days :( Fuuark they were the best days ever! The old BA turbos coped a beating from Foyle and I doing dose wars everywhere we went haha
  13. Fluff's one of a kind
  14. Mate I'll say it time and time again, I couldn't be happier with the way the ute's tuned. Pretty exciting stuff still to come
  15. Hey mate, what set up r u running?
  16. Get it to a track, don't worry about dyno numbers please! my ute was making 450+rwkw till J@T tuned it this week, we r now making 410rwkw, and ended up with 0.77 lambda across the run on neat 85. The car feels more responsive and quicker than when it was making 450rwkw. Don't let numbers throw you off! J@T pulled a 11.8 pass with barely any mods and tune of 300kw
  17. on average twice a month, driving no more than 500m to and from his house to ramp. Also, the turbo's dont like the added boost pressure it demands when towing heavy loads, and your standard tune will most likely display and engine warning light due to an unusual amount of flow past your O2 sensors, which makes the car think it's not running correctly
  18. U can't edit it now, usually only have a 5-10 minute window after originally posting your topic where u can edit it
  19. Correct, I'm sure it was my post where I mentioned my mates 2010 FG XR6T ZF gave up after reversing the Malibu wake setter into the shed. My 2012 SR5 hilux was still the best towing car
  20. Mate of mine killed his ZF towing there 2300kg Malibu Wake setter. Was a 2010 FG XR6T, I've also been told the turbos dont like the added pressure/ resistance with towing. But I am in the same boat as u, I have a FPV GS super charged V8 ute with 450rwkw, and soon I might attempt to use it to tow my up and coming drift car. But still uncertain of it.
  21. Looking good mate!
  22. All will be explained after tomorrow mate, as it stands I'm stuck in a bit of disbelief and it's just a matter of time till we find the root of all problems
  23. it'll be a write off unfortunately
  24. double oh dear
