  1. Unless the exhaust was the reason they broke in inth the first place. Mate had his torana broken into all they took were a set of worked walkinshaw heads out of the boot !! only in there for 2 days after buying them. Pretty convenient
  2. Thanks for the advice guys, I will look into it a bit further. Maybee if I shove a stick through the cooler that may warrant a replacement cooler LOL. Every dollar counts so if I could make advantage of the tax breaks as well as the GST will save a fair bit of coin in the end.
  3. Got an FG on a novated lease, had a BF with injectors, cooler etc with 300RWkw. Now after having the FG for a year think it is time for a similar upgrade. Stepped cooler Pipes F6 Injectors Tune. Anyone know if I can slide some of this into my lease as I way overestimated maintenance and fuel at the start of the year by a couple ok K and also sussing out next years budget. This is my first lease vehicles and not sure of limitations. Thinking of some wheels too maybee. Advise would be awesome. Cheers
  4. My dual zone climate control plays up supposedly a control valve of some sort, dash out job, will get fixed next service
  5. I am about to get one from a dealer tomorrow, 09 XR6T, auto, Nitro, 11,000km. Luxury Pack, Auto and that's 38k. I dont think its a great deal however it seems to be the best I can find over the last month !!
  6. Wouldnt live near the werribee racecourse by any chance, I have a BF xrt in bionic blue and I may live in the same estate. Youre car looks great and sounds great to. Congrats
  7. Hows that ? high kays
  8. would depend on the what options you got mate
  9. About to buy an fg xr6t and I have the option of 20" fpv copies which look great or the 19" luxury pack wheels put back on. Love the look of the 20's but will it give warranty issues. Any advice or experiances would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
  10. when air is compressed heat is generated, touch a running air compressor head.
  11. Awesome always wanted a t5. lol
  12. I am going to have a crack at selling as is for a few weeks and if there is not much interest I will take the mods off. Its just there are not that many on it. I am thinking getting an FG xr6t however it would have to be pretty well optioned as I had a look at a few today which were pretty basic with not many options and it felt like it would have been a downgrade from the BF. The 50 aniversary ticked the boxes though
  13. Want to sell my BF XR6t the question is Should I revert it back to stock before I put it on carsales or put it on as it is with the few mods it has. I cut and pasted my add from the clasifieds area instead of typing it all again. What is the market like modded vs standard BF XR6T May 06 6 speed Manual 62,000km Bionic Blue Factory Tint Luxury Pack (includes) 18 inch Rims Dual zone climate control Leather momo steering wheel Premium sound Sunroof Leather and Suade interior Dealer fitted FPV Guage Pod Dealer fitted tow bar. Reverse Parking Sensors 18inch Spare Wheel. This car does 95% of its travelling on the highway between Werribee and Geelong. Car has been tuned by Pitlane to just over 300 RWKW Has Walbro fuel pump Siemen injectors Nizpro Cooler also has Mal Wood option 3 Clutch X-cal3 Also comes with all original parts $26,500
  14. Go straight to Mal Woods mate I got an option 3 and love it about 1500 delivered and allow about 300 to fit.
  15. My creek in the front end, which always happened when reversing out of my driveway ended up being the steering rack where it bolts up to the crossmember, just shimed and tightened it back up no issues since
  16. If ford drop the rear wheel drive platform and go front wheel drive V6. Grab one of the last model specifically a limited edition of sorts with options. They will certainly hold there value then.
  17. F**k Me that is Fr***en huge
  18. Got them from the tyre factory size was 245/45/18 and $300 each at the tyre factory. Cheaper if you want 17" or even 18" in 235. 245/45/18 are an odd size and seem well overpriced.
  19. I got some sumitomo zr III and so far fantastic, They almost hold in first gear and no problems at all in 2nd. Got 5000k on them so far and wear is looking pretty good 300RWKW and t56

    Ba...Or Bf

    Sounds like you have a heap of research to do on this here forum before you Decide. I would say BF without doubt ! and for the other question you would probably blow youre engine up if you just threw a pod filter on it ( things just are not that simple with these things.
  21. From all reports I believe they are crap compared to other tyres in there usual price range but $200 fitted is an absolute bargain. I know they are discontinued but dealers have only reduced them to 300 - 320. So for $200 bucks I would give them a shot.
  22. Blip on downshifts. Why dont they drive themselves as well !! Getting sick of these new cars full of technology driving themselves the less automation the better I reckon (within reason of course). Just practice and do it yourself. I have a manual and I get great satisfaction when I get it spot on (very smooth) but you feel like a twit when you get it wrong. Well if it was easy everyone would be doing it.
  23. I was looking for these tyres over the past couple of weeks and was informed that they are now discontinued ended up getting simutomo zIII which seem awesome so far.
  24. I listed Intercooler and Injectors on my AAMI policy no increase, But I too would get comfort in hearing other people who have claimed with mods.
