  1. Well..... thanks for the replys. enough said! I shall wait and while im waiting get an exhaust and do the lot all at once. invaluable advice, flash tune salesmen say "she'll be right mate, nearly as good as a custom one & very safe". Dont think the missus would like if I rock in the door going " I was racing this clubby n the phoon was going hard, then I heard this huge BANG...... etc" Has already cost me enough, dont need to keep spending unnescessary cash on it, that's for improvements, not replacements.
  2. Hi as per the title, are flash tunes ever any good? I see alot of people selling flash tunes for "minor mods" and "tuner, injectors and tune to suit". I live a LONG way from tuners and have a few parts im dying to install (injectors & replacement cooler). If theres a better place to go to or a limit to what parts are suitable for flash tuning or if I should just stay away and wait for a real tune im just after peoples experiences. Cheers Chris
  3. Hey luke, I see your in perth. did your mate get his arms locally from pedders or did he get them from interstate? Cheers
  4. I was more thinking getting a 6t press of eBay for $160. What else would would I need? Can I get away with using sockets and various scrap steel to press the bushes out or do I need jigs to support the arms as I press out bushes? I can probably get an oxy set as well. This way would be my preferred way as in the end I get a press for the money I would have otherwise given to a workshop. Edit: I am more than happy to buy a press I just want to know how difficult it is with a press
  5. How hard is it to press the bushes out? Do they come out fairly easy or do they need jigs and special tooling to get them out? Do the super pro ones need to be pressed in? Cheers
  6. Hi guys I am planning on replacing my front suspension bushes with superpro ones and possibly sway bars & mounts & links. I am just wondering which if any can you do with out a press? its just that I live out in the sticks and labour is about $120hr+ and I dont really trust any one with my car anyway, its my daily and I dont really want to do it during the week as I work mon-fri and NO ONE works after 12 on sat. Getting a wheel alignment after wards is no drama as the missus can take it for that during the week. Ive also heard the ball joints flog out regularly? ive had the front apart when I changed struts and I couldnt get any play out of them so I assume they are fine or are they one of those things that only move under load? The wheel brgs are fine too. The reason im doing these are under heavy brakiing it pulls hard to the right and when going up curbs and going from full lock to lock it knocks. From what ive read I should retorque the steering rack bolts and check K-frame bolts aswell? The car is BF F6 sedan with 100 000kms on it. Cheers Chris
  7. Does anyone know if the fg f6 short motors are better than the bf f6? rods pistons and oil pumps? and whats the part number?
  8. Can you use an X3 ford flasher from america over here on an aussie car or have they blocked that as well? EDIT: looked and found the answer, NO
  9. 24yrs upgraded from ba xr6 to BF F6, best thing ive ever spent my money on!
  10. Have many people done this to there ba/bf's? just wanting feedback, I would love the force red leather or cream look in my bf f6. Are xr seat's the same as f6 in shape? I would get a second set to do this to as no way in hell could I butcher my original fpv seats, even though they are fabric/base model finish. I assume these are the ones that remove the original covers? Cheers
  11. Hi I just tried to PM, can I get the details of who makes these? I was originally just chasing a rear one to replace the one that got butchered when the towball was fitted to my BF F6, but I want front and rear in the honey comb look now. LOVE the look.
  12. XR6 & XR6T axles are compltely different EDIT: Just yank it out of the diff with a swift motion.
  13. The only tuner within 1600kms of me only does 95 tunes as that's all we get up here and he reckons its fine & can be a good thing as you can get 95 from most places. im pretty sure the only downside is less power due to being lower octane fuel.
  14. HI ALL I'm just wondering if it is possoble to get FG XR 19's to fit on the front of a BF F6? I tried and they dont clear the brembos. Is it possible to space them out without scrubbing out on the guard? possibly with rolling the guard as well. I already have these and spending a little bit to get them on will be heaps cheaper than getting new one's. Then I can put the cash towards bilsteins & keep the prices down which in turn keeps the missus happy = WIN WIN. It has SL springs in the front and I will not compromise this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Cheers Chris
