    Rule of thumb $300ish per panel give or take where you go.

    Yeah I've decided I will update the suspension in the next 12 months. Even though it's 13cm off the floor it only just clears carpark tyre stop kerb things. Plus I'd probably like the eyebrow height raised a CM. Not sure what it'll cost me though. I'm guessing about $800 for the front shock and spring and then maybe $600 for rear shock and leaf reset.

    From reading on fordforums it's meant to drop temps by around 10c

    Lol, well there is 20k difference between the two cars. Nothing wrong with cheap mods for a daily.

    You should try a Laser TX3 Turbo Phoon58. Same parts and fuel cost, but 100kw stock in a car that weighs 1000kg. I've had a few in my time!

    I'm running 9.5 with 40 offset on the rear with 275 tyres. Rears definitely need to be rolled to avoid tyres being gauged out.

    I was dead set on getting a heat exchanger but called Bruce Heinrich and was talked out of it for a trans cooler. Going to go with his advice and get the cooler installed. They said they've been installing them for a long time and on race falcons too and never had one come back with an issue. Was good enough for me, and cheaper too.

    I just bought a XR6T as a daily driver lol. I was running a 230kW WRX STI but the defect worries got to me. So now I'm looking out for a MY 2000 WRX I can use just for motorsport duties. The Falcon drinks but it's comfy!

    Tell me about it. I ended up buying some second hand suspension from a wrecker today for $300. Those leaf springs are bloody heavy and long as! Haha

    Would anyone have some standard BF ute suspension I can buy/borrow?? Went into regency for id check and the pricks did me for eyebrow height 2cm too low. Yet I'm sitting 13cm off the floor. Farks sake.

    Enthusiast Insurance 07 XR6T Ute Agreed value $16k Premium $900 Excess $500 30y/o SA - bad area

    Yeah 50L tank. 300 is about the average on E85 on an STI. It was a lot of fun at 230kW though!

    I love it. I came from having a WRX STI on E85 that would get 280km to a tank, felt like I had to fill up every 2nd day..

    Hey guys, after recently buying a XR6T ute I have a sinking suspicion my badges are slightly out of place and it's annoying me. Has anyone ever posted up a template for the right location, or does Ford sell one?
  15. VippiN
    With 100km in sport mode and 100km in drive I'm getting 13.5l/100km (300kw xr6t) So basically 600km a tank at the end of the day I did get 8.3l/100km on an interstate drive though!

    Best tyre I have used by far was the Yoko AD08, unbelievable dry grip but horrible in the wet. Though they were $460 a corner on 245s so you paid for it!

    Currently running KU31's and they break out at any given oppotunity. Been doing some light reading and it seems Nitto Invo are the best bet. Looks like around $600-$700 delivered for the 2. I was a bit apprehensive on the brand but found out they're just the north american branch of Toyo Tyres.
  18. VippiN
    Ah, my bad! I'm currently on the KU31's and they kick out on any given oppotunity, in my head going to a street-semi is the only option.
  19. VippiN
    You'll find KU31 is an all rounder, KU36 will have superior dry handling but worse wet handling. It's basically a street legal semi slick. Better alternatives to the KU36 (but more expensive) are the Yokohama AD08 or Hankook RS3. I'll be trying Nitto Invo out next personally.
  20. VippiN
    Haha yeah? Do tell! It already has some work done. Rapid IC, Injectors & tune. I want to get the PWR heat exchanger done ASAP though.
  21. VippiN
    Ah not quite Volks guys, they are Axis Super Hiro. I have Volks on the other car, big fan of the design. http://www.axiswheels.com/view-wheel/axis-super-hiro
  22. VippiN
    Yeah for now, only drove it back last night.
  23. VippiN
    Hey guys. Well after being registered here for five years I actually bought one! Gimme a wave if you see me around.
  24. VippiN
    Hi guys, can't seem to find confirmation online just a lot of hearsay - Are LSD's standard in the BF XR6T Ute?
