  1. Very true. I think I will just invest in a sidchrom set and keep them for a loooong time. Whats the tools I need to replace the spark plugs in the xr6t? Im mainly talking about the one closest to the fire wall. I know you need some sort of angling tool to get in there? Its a 5/8 socket as well with a rubber bit in it or magnet to ay?
  2. Hey guys. I am picking up a xr6 turbo *soon* * When I find the right one* But I am wanting to know whats the best tools for these cars? As in I am currently investing in quality tools for the garage and just wanted to know what peoples opinions are on what brand of tools. I am currently looking at a proper socket set as I only have cheap crap, but I have been looking at kingchrome or sydchrome. But how do say repco tools match up to these? I know they all have life time warranty but yeah just how do they match up? Was thinking just a half inch drive and a 40 piece. What else should I invest in? Might sound like a weird topic but there is only one way to learn right? Just sick of buying crap =/
  3. Hi guys. What sway bars come on a bf xr6 turbo stock? Is 27mm a good improvement? or should I look for 30mm?
  4. Price? Location? Condition?
  5. Well check the car today ( the ego one ) it sat very nice on the road. My only concern was. It was very sluggish with the turbo kicking in. It's done 40 thousand lays and always serviced. But they only run 91 octane and drive it "safely" I'm guessing the sluggish turbo would be the computer tuning it's self that way? Everything eles was fine apart from some scratches and center caps missing from the wheels. Ego is such a awesome color, to bad it makes scratches stand out like dogs balls :/
  6. Cheers for that mate. 1500 for a full system stainless steel 4" dump with 3.5" cat and twin 2.5" catback. Not bad at all :D
  7. Nothing like looking at a commo in your rear vision mirror either
  8. Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the whole system? A guy on fleebay is selling kits for 2k stainless steel.
  9. Does it matter what brand? I'm coming for n/a where pacemaker is the best to a new "game" in the turbo. So are they all the same? Or do they all give off the same note?
  10. Well it seems to be a pretty good price in Wait Ages ( W.A ) Some people are stilling trying to sell 05 ba turbos with 100 thousand+ for 20k haha
  11. Isnt the stock catback only good up to 320 rwkw? Im going to be going more then that when I get the car. Well I would hope so
  12. Any one?
  13. 6 speed, Premium sound, reverse censors. Its ego color. Im going to try and get lower. Its all ready come down a bit. But looks very tidy. Im seeing it this sunday. If not this ex cop car I was going to take to extreme ford tuning and they said they would put it on there dyno and do a test.
  14. Oh. Well the cars im looking at arnt typhoons... Is 23k for 40 thousand kays of a 06 model a good price?
  15. I dont get it
  16. Hey guys. Picking up a bf xr6 turbo soon. Now first thing I am going to do is get a cat back. Yes I know the cat back is not going to give me any power with the stock cat. I just want a better note from it. So I was thinking a twin 2.5" catback? Or should I just look into a single 3" cat back? Im going to be putting 300 rwkw+ through the car aswell So need to keep that in mind. Dont want to buy something to small. But its just for now untill I get the rest sorted before the tune. I was thinking of cutting the center muffler out but have read some threads on other forums as well saying the rear muffler struggles. Sooooo new catback.
  17. Well good news. I have found 2 bf turbos. First one is a 06 september build with 110 thousand kays for $18000 Second is a 06 july build with 40 thousand kays for $23000. Clearly the 06 july build is better but its realllly stretching my budget how ever I am prepared to do it. Once I sell my car it will make it easy. But I take it july build comes with the typhoon internals?
  18. Are they hard to replace? Costly?
  19. So how come the fg's didn't come with the stronger ones. Doesn't make sense :/
  20. From what I have read. You dont need to retune for cold air intake or a catback. A cat you do. And if the cross over stays with the new cold air intake its fine. Its only if you loose it. Im just going to have a bmc air filter, hyper flow lower intake, catback exhaust just for noise then ill save for the tune
  21. Yeah very true. I was thinking of doing intercooler and cold air intake. Maybe the catback. Then just buy the other parts and put them on when im about to tune it. that's one thing I had read about on here, You need to get a retune every time you do something -.-
  22. Noob question.... But whats the V/S???
  23. Haha didnt expect it to be cheap. Just going to do little bits at a time. What do you think would make me see 11's? And at what price? I under stand the tune is probably going to be the most expensive. But what about parts? Cheers for the help mate
  24. I would love to spend 25. But I dont have that much. Im trading my xt in and getting a loan. Dont really want to go over board with the loan. All I really want is an 11. A 10 would be awesome. But I need to be realistic. If a ba can run 11, Then I dont see me having a problem???
  25. Oh yeah, Sorry I forgot about the cooler. Kinda new to the turbo game haha. What if I was to get one of those coolers off fleebay? Compared to one from a shop?
