I just put BKR6EIX Irridium spark plugs in my tuned BAII xr6t (they come pregapped at 0.8mm), as it started missing under load last week it fixed it right up now and idles really smooth too. Note. The above part number doesn't have any -11 or -P after it.

05 BAII XR6T only clocked up 68,000kms (just clicked over 20,000km running 342rwkw as daily tune). I've had it for 2 and a half years now only little probs have been: -Gone through 2 clutches (stock and exedy hdcb) -The roof lining is coming a drift Apart from that it goes great

Cheers for the replies, yeah I might get the car retuned in a few months. I've got a x3 sitting around with no tunes in it at the moment, was tuned in vcm so been running the same tune for 2 years now.

Hey all, Just having an issue on cold startups with my BAII XR6T. It sits on around 1600 revs slowly dropping untill warm usually after 5mins driving, this seems normal but the issue is it holds revs when driving for those first few minutes, when backing off/before shifting gears it holds revs for about a second, is this normal when cold? asked on AFF but got no reponse.Nnot sure if its a tune issue or not? throttle body is clean and it's got no vac leaks. Everything is fine once it's warmed up just those first few minutes so wasn't really concerned about it, just one of those annoying things.

Yeh mate the 698 Atomic motor would easily handle 450rwkw, depends on how far you want to go later on. 998 would cost you $$$$$ have you checked the price list on the Atomic website.

Pedal pressure is pretty much like the stock clutch on the t56 I paid $1820 for the clutch kit + delivery from Pitlane. Paid $600 for fitting (labour and dot 4 fluid) at Websters Dyno & Performance in Wodonga, I also had to get a new clutch master cylinder as the one on the car was stuffed but scored a brand new ford genuine one for $315 instead of $430 that fraud like to charge.

Just got my car back today, Had a Malwood Auto Opt3+ clutch put in as well as a new master cylinder. Love it!...so much easier to drive then the Exedy hdcb one I had but prob didn't help the master cyl was slightly rooted. Doesn't feel like I'm doing a leg workout in traffic now. It's gonna be hard not to give the car a decent fang for 1000kms to bed the clutch in after not driving it for so long .

Chances are its screwed so just going a new genuine Ford master cylinder. Just out of interest, does anyone know if there are any aftermarket clutch master cylinders for ba/bf t56 manuals? none listed in the PBR catalogue (guessing the Ford genuine one is made by them anyway).

Just ordered a Malwood Opt3+ clutch from Pitlane Performance cant wait to get it and have my car back on the road. Just something I'm not sure about though I think my clutch master cylinder maybe stuffed as well? I had an Exedy hdcb clutch that only lasted 25,000kms, it started to slip in 4th gear when overtaking. I continued to drive the car around for about two weeks just babying it and then while driving from the shop about 3 weeks ago while shifting into 3rd gear something snapped, I pulled over and had a look, the plastic end of the pushrod that connects it to the pedal had snapped off and I checked the fluid it was sitting right on the min line (I constantly check all fluids every week so it should have been full) I think a little must have leaked onto the floor mat as there's a slight mark. Does this mean I need/should replace the clutch master cylinder? or can the plastic bit be brought seperate? the clutch fluid level is still sitting on the min line and hasnt leaked anywhere else from what I can see.

Will be the plan, might even make a weekend out of it a nice long cruise in the XR, some beer and footy

Cheers boys, Looks like I'll have to order my Malwood opt3 clutch and get it put in Wodonga somewhere then drive to pitlane at some stage later this year. The exedy one finally let go yesterday so car is out of action for a little bit :(, luckily when I move next fortnight it's getting transported by truck to the new place in Wodonga and driving the Mrs car from Adelaide should be a nice 10hr drive

Well after a short stint of living in Adelaide I'm moving to Wodonga in May due to work. Just wanted to see how many fellow T owners are around that area? and is there any where nearby to take my car for tuning,etc need a new clutch as my Exedy HDCB one is on the way out, so was thinking about driving down to Pitlane Performance to get a Malwood opt 3 put in I get a chance, but if there is somewhere decent around Albury/Wodonga it would be a bit easier than driving 350kms. Cheers, Lynchy

-Fluffy and Jet maybe? -Foyle -Shauny -Southside -xxx f6 -Micke maybe -Lynchy maybe...petrol prices killing me LOL

^^ Nice power figure mate!

spewin I didn't go..too many friggin bills to fill the bloody car and fix my buckled rim up. Seen a few pics looked like a good day.

Went for a mad drive up to hahndorf with the missus on sunday..the xr loves it up that bloody hill on the pricess hwy had some fun and games in the tunnel to haha weather was nice and cold car was spoolin hard . Bad news is I buckled my rear left rim, on friday morning driving to work managed to drive into the biggest fing pothole, all because the tosser in front of me decided to drive at 20k below the speed limit so I was driving a little close as you do lol and couldn't see a big hole in the ground. Rim was scraping on the lower control arm mind you didn't take much as the 9.5in wide rims only just fit with the offset these rims have.

disregard, problem solved..buckled rear left rim (they are 9.5in wide so didnt take stuff all) was scraping on the lower control arm :( off to a tyre shop to get rim re-rolled hopefully! back on the territory steelies for a while haha.

Hey guys just need a bit of help, first of all car is a BA II xr6t(T56man) with 60,000kms on the clock So this morning when I was driving to work and hit a reasonably sized pot hole at about 40km/h, the front left wheel copped it. (*facepalm! I forgot it was there and was driving reasonably close to the dick in front doing 20kmh under the speed limit so couldn't see it coming) Now I'm getting a light metal on metal knocking sound from the rear of the car but it was only happening when I back off the go pedal in 1 and 2nd gear only at about 60km/h down to 20km/h, the knocking sound is in time with speed if that make sense(shat myself this morning thought I completly screwed something, tricked myself into thinking I had bent a f**cking rod a first haha listened to the motor as soon as I pulled over...phew big sigh of releif!!!). Just drove home and now its only happeing on a higher load downshift ie 4th-3rd at 80kmh and it stops after a few knocks then again on downshift from 3rd to 2nd at like 40-60kmh then goes away again. What the f*** have I done? haha B.T.W. Both left front and rear rims look ok no cracks (I don't run low profile tyres think that saved my rim!!) and had a quick look under the rear of the car cant see any dramas yet (havent had it on the jack yet) being a friday didnt bother taking it to a workshop after 4 when I knocked off. Cheers, Lynchy

Cheers mate, cooler needs a polish with some autosol but cant be bothered haha. I'm the same, out of habit now everytime I see an XR/fpv look for a big fmic...dead giveaway for chevadores not to fk with ya

Drove out to Birdwood for something to do today at lunchtime and was loving the twisty piece of road to get there, reminded me of when I used to live in Tassie very fun roads even at 100kmh speed limits. Some Golf GTI wanted a go but didnt know the road so wasnt going to push hard lol Any other good roads for sprited driving people would recommend?? guessing somewhere near Adelaide Hills.

Nice work, making good power there mate

Hey mate, I have a BAII t56 manual with 342rwkw with all the mods listed below in my sig. I'm running 14psi..has handled the power fine for the last two years even when punished . but yeah 18psi seems rather high to acheive that figure you have, I know a few other ts running at same power level and around 13-15 psi.

QLD charity cruise was good, only one wanker incident where a VE SS ute was attempting to show off and rammed up the ass of an old merc near the roundabout at TTP was a bloody good laugh though.

Awesome I might rock up a little bit earlier, if ya see my car come say g'day (rapid yellow,black rims and NT rego plates)...better yet how about meet somewhere near the West Lakes car park, AAMI stadium car park directly opposite(or whatever its called)then park up with everyone else??
