Thanks for the offer mate, TBH I'm not THAT fussed to bother with getting a separate GPS as I don't drive all over the place like you so don't actually use it much anyway Just was amazed that something that is installed in the factory like this and changes that often and is from looking at the manual a 5 min job to do then costs that stupid amount of money to keep current If it was reasonable cost I could understand it ie $40-50 but $200+ that is taking the piss I can always use Google maps on my phone if need be as that is kept up to date automatically, the in car GPS does have alerts for fixed speed cameras but obviously not all the latest ones! Although I have been looking at getting a Garmin Zumo for the bike for a while so may just save the pennies and get that if I really need it and it'll work both on the bike and in the car EDIT: Still can't seem to see why quotes aren't working or why I can't copy and past stuff into a post? Sort of makes things seem less broken on PSB in comparison

@PTR_NITRO_FG If that is the widest on these rims then so be it, just nice to know it for sure so I know what I can get As far as the harshness/tramlining I thought it may be the case but not ever having used such low profile before I wasn't sure if that was the cause! The speedo being out isn't a surprise and compared to my MC is not far out and I'm aware that they need to have them read over actual due to ADR's but figured if a slight change in profile would correct it without issue then why not @Nitrofgxr6t Yeah I realise that I shouldn't go dirt cheap on tyres as I ride a MC and know the need for decent rubber, plus I've tried going cheap on my old EL 5L and it wasn't worth it either in lost grip and lost km's and with a more powerful vehicle I want decent rubber. I'm not into drags or doing heaps of burnouts etc but also don't have an issue with giving it a squirt every so often and having it slide Saying that I do quite a lot of km's so want reasonable life as well as grip without costing an arm and a leg so don't expect miracles @masda74 Was it Malaga that you got your Invo's, roughly how many km's did they last and what was the $ if you don't mind? Also on a tangent WTF is up with this forum, I can't seem to get quotes to work, have trouble editing the posts and can't paste into a post either with the supplied buttons or using right click or ctrl-v

Hi ya Phil was wondering who you were on here Looked at Phildo like PSB but 0 posts so not you What $ do the Feds set you back if you don't mind me asking? Also what sort of km's do you get on them?

Bugger did it again I do have 245/19 NOT 235 Yeah the 1st set of Fortera's we got for our Terra Turbo Ghia were $400 each and the guy reckoned he was making nothing on them Last set I got from Tempe for $200 each so even with ~$35 F&B they were much cheaper Off to sleep now

I'm not that fussed about the speedo difference to spend money on getting it done, just figured if it did the job as well as smoothing the ride then I'd go that direction as my previous car was an EL 5L ex cop car and the speedo's are able to be configured to suit different tyres etc and I got used to having the speedo spot on Compared to my MC where the speedo is ~8% over it isn't so bad Oh I did a typo in there as I have 235 instead of 245 Any idea on the width question? How much wider if any can I go on those rims? Still need to find someone who stocks the Invo's or the Achilles in Perth as well and see what $ they are and whether it'll be cheaper to get them from over your way as we got Goodyear Fortera's from Tempe tyres way cheaper than any store here

So I bought a 2012 XR6T with luxury pack last November and love it, the only thing that is a little annoying is that the sat nav is a bit out of date as far as roads and speed limits goes for here in WA. I did a search but didn't find anything relevant! Is there any way of updating the maps other than going to a Ford Dealer and being raped $200 plus for an updated map

Hi I've had my white 2012 XR6T with luxury pack and 19" rims for about 10 months now and love it but she's about due for new rubber Currently has the OEM Dunlop Sport Max 235/35 - 19's on it and had ~19000km when I got it but now has ~32000km and they are close to the wear bars and a bit slippery in the wet (and dry if given a boot full in 1st ) From a lot of reading of various threads it seems that the Achilles ATR2's or Nitto Invo's are the go without pending huge $ but am still unsure of a few things. 1) I'm in Perth and Google wasn't very good for finding local sellers of either of those, anyone comment on where they got them in Perth? (I'm NOR). 2) Also would I be better going to a wider tyre and what would be the largest I could reasonably fit on those rims without any issues? 3) From reading a few threads it appears the Commonwhore runs a 235/40 and from what I can tell they should fit and make the speedo pretty much dead on as it over reads by ~4kmh now compared to GPS so would this be a way to go? I gather that it may also help reduce some of the harshness I'm finding in the ride as I work in the hills of Perth (Wooroloo) and the roads are quite bumpy and coarse chip with rough edges! I've also noticed the current tyres seem to "tramline" a bit on bumps and ruts and I notice a lot of the bumps which I never did in my old EL 5L ex Police car which was lowered quite a bit more but with std Dunlop Le-Mans 15" tyres I'm more than happy to stick with the Dunlop's if necessary but again a lot of the threads reckon the Achilles and Invo's are a better option and bang for buck I like to give a bit of stick every now and then and like to push it through the twisty back roads so want decent grip but I'm not really into huge burnouts or traffic light drags and do over 560km a week just to and from work so do want a reasonable amount of wear as well so any advice would be appreciated

Hey cobramad, can you tell me your thoughts on how the std Terra Turbo went after your conversion and do you feel it was worth it? We've had a TTG for a few years now and love it, mostly the missus just drives it around town and as she only works part time the fuel costs aren't too bad. We do use it for holidays away down south etc and to Geraldton etc which it does with ease but with the price of fuel I was curious on whether an LPG conversion would be worth it We have an old EL ex cop V8 on gas and that goes well so was thinking about whether doing the conversion on the TTG would be worth the $$ and hassle Am I correct that you can't use the 3rd row seat with the conversion? What about a donut tank in the wheel whel as we contemplated one when we did the Falcon?

We bought an 07 TTG about a year and half ago and needed to get the front bushings done under warranty at ~70 000km's Our local trusted mechanic picked it up and then we had a few dramas getting the local Ford Dealer Nuford to fix it Initially they tried telling us the "rear" bushings were OK even though we had told them and I even showed them photos and it was noted clearly on the work order that it was the fronts Eventually got it sorted but wasn't happy that my local mechanic was able to pick it up easily yet they couldn't when they had the vehicle for a day Haven't had any dramas with the rears or bushings or brakes so far
