Smoke Them Tyres.

Thankyou Ratter and Sideways82 for taking time to answer my questions. You have made things alot clearer for me. This is why this site is so valuable to dummy's like me. Cheers Mark

I have a couple of questions to ask if I may. When I bought my BF 06 mk2 turbo in Jan this year the fella a bought it off told me he had a capa flash mild tune (the model that is now being made redundant)and a brand new set of (siemen) (spelling?) decca 60 injectors ready to install and said he would do it for nothing as he had no need for them now. So I agreed and my question now is if I wanted to go back to stock and flash back to factory do I have to change back to the factory injector size or are the decca 60's still ok to use.And if they are would I just leave them in or go back to the standard ones.Will the standard ones save on fuel or doesn't it matter? Also I made a my mechanic put in titanium tip plugs and they were gapped at 130 and I gave it a boot full doing around 140 ish on boost @ 10 psi with a full tank of juice and it spluttered and farted..Was this because the gaping was all wrong.I rang him up and asked him what gap he had set as I was thinking about it as it was only 2 days after he changed them for me. And I have been told since that copper is a better conductor than titanium so should I dish the Titanium plugs and go the copper with an 0.90 gap or similar. Your help and aswers to my questions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Mark.

Thanks guys Might be a new dashmat but I'll give the shoe polish a try. Thanks for the input. Cheers Fords Rule

Hi I have a couple of scratches on my Dashboard that aren't deep but are noticeable. One is above the passenger side air bag and is about 6 inches long but not deep or wide,about the thickness of a razor blade and is noticeable as I said earlier. I had a dash mat covering it but I recently put in Pod gauges and would like to know if anyone has any ideas or know of a product in the market place that might help hide the scratch or do I just have to order a new dash mat to accommodate the Pods and live with the scratch. Your help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Mark....Fords Rule

Thanks mate I'll do that.Just not confident enough to tackle it myself. Cheers Mark.

Hi there does anyone know someone who paints brake calipers (Front and Rears) in Sydney? I don't care if they need the car for a few days just as long as they do a professional job. And before anyone tells me it's an easy DIY job my tool box only has a hammer in it and I'm very heavy handed and seem to break everything I touch. So if you know of a business or know someone trustworthy that could do this job please reply to this post. Thank you Mark.

Yeah did one yesterday.Just pull the light surround down towards you at an angle as the holder has 2 plastic clips at either side of the surround.You can either unplug the harness wire and replace the globe on your lap or just let it hang and remove the old globe and replace it with the new globe and press light surround back in its original position.Takes less than a minute from start to finish.

I remember years ago I was giving the car a good thrash and on the way home pulled into one of those auto washers and ran the car through. (Big mistake) as the rotors were still quite hot from the heavy braking I was doing and when the cold water hit them It warped the rotors. So theres just another way to warp them.

Ebay have a wide variety of scuff plates and all have double sided tape on them and they stick hard. Ebay also have plates for air boxes also. Just punch in xr6 on the search bar when on Ebay.

I'm with you Rhino no car is worth having to put up with that sort of treatment.
