  2. theres a blue front bar on ebay at the moment for $270 starting bid. Has some scratches etc but even if it costs $600-$700 to paint/repair its still a minimum of $1800 saving. Edit: looks like the price has been dropped to $0.99 and the clip is broken and its a GT bar (not sure if F6 & GT are different) But theres also another one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FPV-FG-GT-FRONT-BAR-GENUINE-2ND-HAND_W0QQitemZ220565068940QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item335ab3dc8c http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Falcon-FPV-FG-model-genuine-front-bumper-brand-new_W0QQitemZ190376648011QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2c53551d4b
  3. F6 Front would be awesome! Went to the local ford dealer here in Melbourne last night to have a look at the white fg f6 ute they have in the showroom, absolutely porn!! The dump & cat sounds interesting. Let us know once you have got it done with some pics if possible as im interested in this. What size dump & cat you going to go? Considering im not going to make much more than 300-320rwkw (from what ive read) on the standard turbo I'd say that would be it for a while. So far the shopping list will include: - PW Stage 2 IC - PW Battery relo kit - PW Pod/box - 60lb dekka's - Walbro intank - Tune Possibly a PW surge tank & 044 later down the track aswell. I want to start buying these parts ASAP to keep me motivated to get the fg at the end of the year as I change my mind like the wind lol I drove my mates BF T ute the other day with the ZF box and enjoyed but not an auto type of person. Also contemplated a VE Bogan special ute but not really my cup of tea. Drove my mates VE Maloo the other day and it goes awesome but I want something that isnt going to cost an arm and a let to mod. Plus ive been a turbo guy all my life owning only one v8 so its really my only choice. You had an problems with the ute to date?
  4. Cheers for the link CAM already had a read through it yesterday. Im guessing that they still use the 35/40 on the FG then with the .50 front housing if people are saying go the 0.70 housing. To be honest I'll be happy with 350ish atw. Also would like to retain standard exhaust with metal cat & bigger dump. P.S. Nice looking ute, exactly what I want in winter white but with agents. Anymore pics of it
  5. Hey Guys Been doing a bit of research on the FG XR6T's as im planning to buy an FG ute at the end of the year. Ive searched high & low and still having trouble finding the info I need. From what ive gathered I see that the FG turbo maxes out at about 300-320rwkw. Now from a few posts ive read I notice ppl saying put a bigger comp cover on and you should make more power. What turbo are the FG T's running? Have they changed from the 35/40? If not, how/why are BF's making so much power with the 35/40 without changing comp covers? By "so much power" I mean around the 350rwkw mark. Any help greatly appreciated as I want to start slowly buying some parts so by the time I get it I can have all the goodies together and take it to a shop to get installed/tuned. Cheers, Paul
  6. haha thanks bonjaz good website having a look through the products now
  7. yeh at the wiring place man that sucks :( I know what ya mean about racking up the k's, I travel heidelberg-mulgrave 5 days a week and I just keep watching the k's go up and its bloody depressing!
  8. haha very, very random lol everytime I hear you enter the street I always look out the front door and see you jet past. car sounds very nice love it!
  9. ahahaha no way!! I work in geddes st, 2nd buidling from dunlop rd with the container in the yard at the moment. You will see my grey rex parked on the front lawn. lol small frikin world!
  10. not denying the quality of it as it looks like some top end gear P.S. You dont work in Mulgrave do you Christiaan? I always see a purple xr6t kill it up my street, sounds like its got some balls to
  11. seems like a good kit, just that in my mind its a bit overpriced... ahh cool, look forward to seeing it when its back on the road
  12. also, is the process west surge tank worth the money/worth getting?
  13. thanks for the input BF_F6 been sussing out prices on cooler kits, exhaust and injectors just so I know roughly what im up for and its cheaper than I expected to get good power for under 10g's. Kinda cursing I didnt just buy xr6t in the first place.
  14. thanks NVY how much power are you making now? and what injectors do you have? P.S. Havnet seen you in ages! U take a different way home now? lol
  15. thanks for the info dude like I said dont know much about fords so still learning lol
  16. cheers for the input guys just wanting to see what would be needed and try to work out some rough costs. mattyb - so your running standard computer or a piggyback aswell? Also, what CAI would be best? I currenty have an APS in guard on my wrx which is pretty decent compared to some of the other options out there. Is the aps cai for the xr6t any good? Or are there better options to choose from.
  17. Hi Guys New to the forum here and in the process of making up my mind on what car to buy next! Currently own an 05 wrx which im sort of getting bored with after almost 2 years of ownership. After listing numerous potential cars its come down to two candidates which I am yet to actually take for a drive and see which I prefer. - BF Typhoon - 06 Tuned By Sti Liberty Always been a fan of the BA onwards turbo models but could never see myself owning a Ford (think its the way I was bought up with Holdens always in the family). Would like to get some Pros & Cons on the BF Typhoon Whats good about it (apart from looks & being turbo of course), and what should I be carefull of? A few questions about 300+ rwkw 1) What "sensible" mods would see me over the 300 barrier? 2) If going the manual option, would clutch need to be changed? 3) What do you guys get out of a tank and how big are the typhoon tanks? Obviously petrol consumption will differ from the rex and 80% of the time I have a heavy right foot P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong section wasnt to sure exactly where to post Cheers Paul
