wow.. 68K on my 09 ute and still on original pads.. Front and back.. Altho, the front discs had to get machined at 55K..

Fair enough, I am pretty well in the same boat.. looking for a 4WD ute...

That ute is almost identical to mine, altho I have got more extras such as cabin tidy, mats, scuff plates, seat covers etc.. Also got the tech pack and the triple Hiro gauges.. Driveline is stock and it looks like I have to sell.. If you want to know more, send me a PM..

That is the problem with the internet, anyone can badmouth a business on the spot with no accountability.. of course I am not saying that this is the case here... but sooner or later people or businesses will work on the competition by providing false information to the hordes via the internet.. “Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.” William Shakespeare quotes (English Dramatist, Playwright and Poet, 1564-1616)

This thread is the perfect example why we should take forums and associated technical advice with a grain of salt... actually.. sh*tloads of salt...

Just solder it...

We are all different.. big arse bullbars make me laugh.. but so do cheap arse LED running lights.. Big mudflaps are funny.. but so are the fake Brembo calipers..

Single wheeler vs LSD ?

I have got a 09 FG Turbo ute, it was at Super Super Low when I bought it. However it was just a tad too low for lugging the dirtbike and camping gear around so I sold the SSL setup and bought SL springs (front and back).. Well guess what, moving house and the driveway is deceptively steeper then anticipated and now it looks like the ute needs to go to back to the XR Stock level.. So, here is my offer.. I have got KING SPRINGS Super Low (SL) front springs and rear leaves to suit FG UTE, purchased from wholesale suspension less then 12 months ago.. I will swap these for STOCK XR6/8 Front springs and rear leaves So if you want to lower your ute, please PM me for heights etc and maybe we can organise something.. BarKer

I don't want to laugh... but I can't help myself But don't feel too bad, I accidentally sold my $550K Ferrari for $90K

I got the $138 Logitech GT, bang for buck value on that one.. Tsukuba in the RX7 has got me stuffed for the 2nd online tournament series.. I keep getting massive oversteer I can't get rid of so lapping too slow :( Got 2 bronze's left in the A to Super license.. it is embarrassing but I can't zigzag the cones...

Going for the KU31's soon.. 45,000 out of the Maxxis so far...

And remember to keep an eye on your rear mirror when you hit the brakes as the tinted taillights don't exactly light up too well for the people behind you...

Engineers are only good for making things complex, unreliable and design things without thinking on how someone would try to maintain, fix or sometimes even use... They are in a little world of their own.. Seriously, if anyone even tries the so called mobile phone trick, then I would recommend handing in the keys to the XR6T and buy a Prius as punishment..

Not proud of it... But I did buy a new 320GB just for GT5.. Still got the original PS with the original Gran Turismo which comes out now and then...

Heya Rhino, Tripod hooked and working well.. the rest is still bogstock. However, the slushfund is getting too big so having a think about it.. If I decide I'll send you a PM for some advice.. cheers

Heya, any of you guys heard of a shop that does dyno runs for $45 out Maitland way ? Can only do them at certain times due to noise regulations.. Heard about it lastnight, but it was a big one and I sort off managed to forget most of the details.. Cheers,

Wow... you only have to say the magic words and you'll get out of it.. how good is that.. God bless Australia My money is on a letter in the mail... you can always fight it in court..

Phew.. that looks like a million dollars...

I think it is old school thoughts... The old days when they had carbies leaning out on the furthest cylinders could be an issue and even for the early injection systems which used throttlebody injection problems could arise.. But surely multipoint injection systems made leaning out a problem of the past..

You don't need a full sized spare.. Can't rotate the tyres as most are directional nowadays and as stated above, the wheel will get scuffed and the tyre will go off.. The concept of a full sized spare is like a dash protector mat which is old school.. We only want them because that is what we are used to.. And really, you can be angry and complain.. but surely you would have read the glossy pamphlet which clearly states that a matching spare alloy wheel is an option for all models...

Pop some pills, take some deep breaths and wipe the foam from your mouth... out of the odd 50,000 FG's that are driving around it is happening to a handful.. no need to panic, it is the internet remember..

Not 210 in a 50 zone... And he was 30.. and posted it on uTube... I am guessing that maybe he was a late developer... I just realised he was from SA... that explains a lot

I went for the ZF.. Once a week or so I wish I had a manual.. But I know that if I had the manual, then once a day I wished I had the Auto..

The genuine towbars when fitted result in a huuuuuuuge hole.. I went the aftermarket way and bought a 1250 KG rated bar which only requires about 1"x3" flap taken out from the bottom.. Can't even see it unless you are lying down.. Of course I am limited to 1250 KG's only... However, that is more then adequate for me..
