  1. hahahaha well done George........minute I read that I pisssed myself laughing......almost reminded of the time at work when we all went out for tea to a Greek restaurant in Southbank and someone the night before smashed in the front door. A poster on the door (which was nailed shut with timber) read..... 'Enter through Rear'..........I had tears....!!!!! A pure magic moment..... dutchie
  2. Share information I hear you say....... O'K........so far 7 telephone messages and 2 emails to HPF and one very rude and threatning emial response from Rob after I complained about the lack of service from a 'would be client'....... Sorry, but in my books that far from service.......!!! All due respect from Geea and BlownBA but sh*t man, you dont cut off the hand that feeds you. I also know some of you have PM'd me with the same level of service (lack of) received from HPF..... No cigars from me...... dutchie
  3. Thanks guys......the Traction Control came on after I started the engine when it started coughing.....was for only 3 or 4 seconds though..... Once I restarted has not been a problem since........... Go Ford dutchie PS Thanks Flukeyluke......yep edit is about 6 weeks away.......
  4. I then take key out off ignition and start her up again. never had the problem and since then, it has not happened again. I have SSS and the light on the dash shows both Throttle and Traction Control. Car had been stationary for about 3 hours.......weather was mild 24 degrees. never had this happen before and has not happened since. I phoned 2 diff Ford service departments and both said not to worry unless it happened again. Any opinions and should I worry? Until this happened I have had nothing wrong with the car ......since july last year when I purchased it brand new........ Car is stock T...... cheers dutchie

    Dyno Day

    Count me in as well.........be good to get readings from Mario before he instals my CAPA Edit anyway....... cheers dutchie
  6. Yep, Will be good to catchup with the gang again....... dutchie
  7. Is this the '1984' Forum !!!!??? Oooppps, wrong site........had to have a second look again....... dutchie
  8. No idea Bro........I have just tonight setup my iPod with an iTrip and set the station to 95.0 FM .....sound brillaint and no problems....... I paid $65 for it from office works.......normally they sell anywhere from $79 to $95 so I'm pretty happy.......the other feature is that you can run it on any tuner....even inside your house, uses little battery power (from the iPod itself) and the unit looks great and is tiny..... Hope this helps dutchie
  9. Macka, How about you give me around 50RWKW from your car which coincides with the increase that I'm looking for....240-250RWKW. Now that way your gearbox etc are safe and you wont spend any further money, secondly I dont have to spend anything either......sounds fair?? dutchie
  10. Thanks everyone for your great comments......amd yes, I will continue to read the site........I must say though that after nearly 7 months of reading (sionce I bought the car) I'm still bloody confused to say the least...... I have had the pleasure of sitting in numerous cars including Mario, George and Macka......and was simply amazed at the power of all 3 cars. My biggest problem is budget.......I will only have around $2K to spend full stop or I'll have a divorce coming up ....... Macka,Craig and anyone else, if I should go the Edit, in your opinions without any further ado, is this then safe enough to get to my much wanted 300FWKW's???? as really this is my goal. I dont drag, am interested in feul economy. I do like the squirt. I dont drive her that hard.....is it simply to get to around 225-230RWKW and get the remainder 10-15 RWKW's from other upgrades like Exhaust?? Confused!!!! dutchie
  11. Very keen to hear peoples responses as numerous tuners have been telling me over the last few days that I cannot get more then 240RWKW's without damaging the transmission..... Find this hard to believe...... Geea, Peter, Nick anyone care to comment dutchie
  12. Doublek, JB and everyone else........a great many thanks...... Fantastic comments and feedback.......exactly what I was wanting to know...... Suppose I will now sit and wait a while till more Edits are done and more results are known..... With injectors, is this something that you can install yourself and will you require a tune after installing them?? thanks in advance again dutchie
  13. thanks M6 XR6T
  14. Nick, maybe you can answe this one.......how much do you loose from the fly to the rear? cheers dutchie
  15. thsnk guys.......for the positive responses now coming through....... How much do you loose from the fly to the rear.......? Is it around 25%? thanks again dutchie
  16. StreetTuner, Please no flaming here please.......I'm simply after answers to some standard questions.....I'm a novous in all this and so far, noone has responded back to all questions? sh*t guys, keep this up and soon no-one will post anything anymore cause nothing gets answered and everyone is flaming everyone..... dutchie
  17. There have been so many posts but I'm probably more confused then ever..... This is really for Geea, Peter, Nick and any other Tuners or know-howers. Primarily, I'm looking at the Edit and wanting around 300FWKW. To get to RWKW do you loose around 20, 22, 24% as numerous people have told me different figures...... What are my options for mimimul outlay.......? Will just the Edit give me the power that I want and will it be safe? thanks heaps in advance dutchie
  18. Damn Rob..........how come this was not under Cruises and Events???? Too bloody late now..........thanks guys for asking???!!! NOT !!!!! Would have been good to catchup with eveyone again........ohh well....... dutchie
  19. After 15,000km I now seem to be averaging around 13.6 - 14.2 litres but I do give it a squirt or 2 each trip........seems to give the car better cleaner output...... I did notice it did go up a little after my service last week......before that I was averaging around 12.8 - 13.5......ummmmm dutchie
  20. Yes, I have succumed to the pressure and getting Speco 2" gauges with blue interior lighting installed on Friday........ Suppose these will be more handy when I get the Ford Edit done in a couple of months time....... My wife Claudine totally blames Rob and George for my months of nagging.... She has finally surrendered !!! Thanks guys !!!!!......just as well I bought the Valentines pressy for her today. As much as I loved the Autometer one's, I could not justify the costs (double) dutchie
  21. Yep, was a great day and thanks to MissAly for arranging it........ The only dissapointment was that not many cars turned up........all the effort was made too!!!!!! Come on Victoria, lift your game.........each cruise over the past few months has dropped more and more in numbers...... dutchie
  22. Where,when do we meet and at what time Aly Baby? cheers dutchie
  23. Nice work Bri and Ali...... I for one like it........it doesn't look cheap and makes the car more personal. That what forums like this is all about.......doing that bit different for your car...... How can I have one........do you take orders?? thanks dutchie :lol: :o
  24. Wondering if members had anything done yet or heard anything including CAPA? cheers dutchie
