I abuse the sh*t out of mine,300rwkw's,clutch dumps,skids and a drag day haven't been enough to kill my stock 100 000k old FG clutch yet. I've got a mal wood one sitting in the box waiting to go in when this one's stuffed,but it's holding up awesome so far,GTX should see it out though I reckon. You must be farken hard on it to to kill it so quick.

Will be 3.7.1.

No e85 up here that I know of,and yes a long way from home if you live in the east.

I'm a dickhead,it was at heathcote.

12.5 in my manual @112mph on the weekend at calder,1.9 60 ft. I would have ran 10 12.9-13.5's first though. 300rwkw.

112mph@300kw manual.

What was that,if your out there to break gearbox's you suggest an auto? I'm going to order a set of nitto's for mine this week.

Normal to me,they run quite hot stock.

First run out the drags today. Did a heap of 12.9-13.5's @ 110ish mph,I just couldn't get it to launch with the sh*t Chinese tyres I have on it. So last run of the day I'd promised someone a ride,I was already over it (I'd hoped for a 12.5 in full street trim),so I take old mate out. I could feel as soon as I launched it the arse just squatted and it took off perfectly,I got my 12.5@110 with a 1.9 60ft. To say I was happy was an understatement,this is a family car that I drove to the track and straight onto the track in full street trim,sh*t chinese 19's and all.Next up will be a set of sticky tyres,if I can bring the revs up off the line instead of taking off like a granny I reckon I can get it into 11's with this turbo.

Hey man,didn't realise you were a member,I wandered over near your car today after we raced but didn't see you anywhere. Were you running slicks or semis though? 12.5@110mph 1.9 60ft some cheap arse random Chinese 19's (I cant remember the name). 300rwkw manual f*ck it's hard work launching a manual right with sh*t tyres,I did about 10 passes between 12.9-13.5 before taking a passenger for a ride for my last run before I went home, and it just hooked up perfectly and did the 12.5. I need more grip.

Are you going to try for 10's on street tyres?On the 8's? I think I'm going to head in the same direction with my car,but being manual will be aiming for mid 11's in full street trim as I'd need 1000000rwkw or something to run a 10 with a tremec apparently.

Loving the new found power for sure,but thinking a GTX is on the cards. Ah my poor wallet,it hates this car.

G6JET now with 298.2rwkw's thanks to bluepower.

Fitted my Process West stepped front mount kit today. Gotta say,great guy's to deal with and a great,well made product. Back in the shed: Bar off to get at everything: The old and the new: New one in place: Back together,and done: The kit was an absolute piece of cake to fit,took me a couple of hours from start to finish with a few interruptions,and did the whole job with nothing but a 1/4" socket set.

I haven't been doing much on this of late,been tinkering on 351 xe ghia and moving house. I have fitted a plazmaman muffler replacement and airbox,the spool noise is addictive. I also have a set of injectors,an sct tuner,venom cat pipe here,and a stepped process west cooler and pipe kit on the way. It's booked into to bluepower next week for a tune....

I like the hubcaps on the lexcen.

Theres been one out the front of the dealer here on and off for the last couple of weeks,they do look ok.

I gotta say,that mk11 looks great.

The wreck I used to build my g6 had broken engine mounts,I've had no problems since though.

Fitted my Plazmaman airbox today.

Lol,yeah I will get one if she sees that. We put her car sickness as a passenger down to not being able to see over the hump (she is a short arse),so wound the seat right up and it seems fine.

Nah,it was making my missus sick everytime we went in it,first car ever to do it in the 100's I've owned. I figured out how to stop it though,just get a divorce.

Been driving the wheels off this and have been loving it. I love taking mates for a spin and getting "this is stock xr6t running gear ?!",but I'm getting used to it. So I now have a plazmaman airbox,flash tuner,injectors and venom cat replacement pipe here waiting to be fitted. I reckon I'll wait and get a stepped front mount and pipe kit,fit it all and go get it tuned.

I can see a g6et spoiler looking good on an xr if said xr is slammed and has rims,but stock xr's (fg) look putrid without the boot spoiler. As mentioned slabby BA's seem to pull it better than curvy FG's,much like curvy au's look f*cked up without a boot spoiler to square up the hips. Some cars look mad without a spoiler,ala ba xr's (8's especially) and 00's Monaro's,others like au and fg xr's need them to finish off the butt.

Might be worth posting whether your car is auto or manual too.
