Have made the decision just to buy another rim, and keep the other as a spare !! Thanks for the help guys !! Cheers.

Well, I lent the other half the car last weekend, and she was so kind to run my car through a nasty pot hole in the road !!!! So I am now the owner of a wonderfully 3 month old mind you, dented rim.... so I was wondering where and if it can be fixed, and where a bouts it can be done ? I am in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, any info would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers in advance.

Thanks for that mate, I will have a look tomorrow morning, as it is too dark out there now. Appreciate the help.

It was heading over the half way mark, I stopped it from going any further by turning the heater and fan on full so that took it back down to in between the 1/4 and half mark. There is no milky residue in the oil cap at all, totally clean, no bubbling in the water so I am pretty safe with the head I think, well fingers crossed anyway. I have a prety good suspicion that it is either the thermo, or radiator, as when I get moving the needle starts to head upwards !! But I will take it down and get it flushed tomorrow anyway, if it is the radiator, oh well I will have to get a intercooler !! haha. If you have any better ideas let me know, also, stupid question, where abouts can I find the thermo on the engine ?

I have a 2005 XR6T, and today for no apparent reason it just started to overheat ??? I have checked the oil and water and all is full, checked under the oil cap, no froth..... thank god !!!! Wondering if anyone would have an idea of what could possibly by wrong ? I am thinking either a stuffed radiator or Thermostat, but I am very open to any suggestions. Thanks if advance, Ken.

I am also from melb, and would like to find out where to go to get a good quad system? Cheers

Spin, I have a xrt6 ba MkII, reading these posts it looks like the Bilsteins are the way to go. Would you be able to let me know what shocks they are and where abouts you got them from? Looks like this is the way I am going to go Cheers.

I would get the c6 calipers etc which I understand to be the M-series upgrade from PBR, but I do not have 18inch rims, only the standard 17's which come with the car, so that setup would not fit unfortunately. When I do decide to get these from him, I need to give him all the part numbers so he will get me the correct parts.

Thanks a lot for the response guys, I am thinking that the Muscle pack might be the way to go, seeing I can get them for a greatly reduced price, also, people her work at PBR get an allowance each year so if the father in law is really nice to me he may just wack them on his allowance !!! Now that would be sweet !! Thought that I would start with upgrading the brakes, then onto the go fast parts later, as the brakes in this model are crap... as I have heard? Cheers all, appreciate the advice.

Hi all, I am fortunate to have a father in law that works for PBR, so I can pretty much get anything I want from them. I want to upgrade the brakes on my 2005 BA MkII XRT, what would be your suggestions for the best setup, keep in mind I do not want to spend a fortune. You advice would be very helpful. Cheers.

I am in Melbourne, and the car is totally stock, who are the best people to take it to down here ?

Thanks for that advice, well would you recommend then for a couple of things to do that will give me some extra power, without having to upgrade too much. Thanks.

Hi all, I am looking to add a Cat back system to my 2005 XR6t, but do not know what is the best to get, the size, and being in Melbourne, who should I trust to get it done ?? I am also wanting to add a cold air induction kit. Adding these couple of things, nothing else will be needed to be upgraded within the car so it does not crap itself? Appreciate any help, cheers !!
