  1. I know but it will look pretty similar. I highly doubt they will role out a front wheel drive falcon. no need to be a downer on the idea EFSIX lol get excited it might happen
  2. dont know if anyone saw this last year. if they make a ute with that front then god damn it will be hot property!!! http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-news/face-of-the-next-falcon-20110908-1jz0l.html
  3. because everything is still in this recession, aren't they sending everything off shore to be made because it is cheaper and help save the companies from going down even if t means losing a few employees? even heard that they will start relocation people from over seas into housing and everything as they can work them at a much cheaper rate
  4. yeh had a job lined up with a mate then the contract got pulled up in gladstone cause of the election stuff :( was so devo 1 week before I was meant t go up. sorry for the confusion. I just posted it cause I was super hyped about finally getting in! haha will hold off till im actually up there this time
  5. car has a roof and you can fold down the seats for single beds
  6. well when I looked at all the stage one options with sydney places the common thing between them all was tune and injectors, then stage two is your cooler piping, cat converter ect.
  7. would this size the fg? clearance is not an issue in the back with the tray obviously
  8. coming along nicely. looks like if you do that in an hour wont take you long to knock up the whole frame at all
  9. ok so got it all sorted now and very happy with it considering what everyone has said about it doing nothing. I have the 4inch intake so maybe the 3.5 or 3 isnt as good I dont know but it made a huge difference to sound now the silence muffler thing is removed. I cant wait to put a pod on it and see if it sounds louder. you cant hear it all the time but as soon as you put your foot down you get a much louder spool sound photo of it attached. not happy about the pink dot on the turbo. what is it a girls turbo!
  10. I think a could starting point is throwing on the 17's and if they have better grip. will get you more flex in the rears when taking off and are much lighter then the 19's
  11. when you get a basic tune they usually change the injectors and tune so I think it sounds like its worth changing. isnt a 3" intake a tad small? I read that 3.5-4" is the best for fg's because if you go smaller it restricts the airflow as the stock one is 3inch at turbo and 4inch at the crossover. I know the bf's work well with the 3 and spool harder too but fg's not so much with the smaller turbos
  12. ok well scrap that idea haha cheers matsfgxr6turbo
  13. yeh glue two bits of pipe. well I will take it out and see how it goes and let you know if it helps at all
  14. I will take one tomorrow when I do it for you all. I read somewhere on here I cant remember where but apparently its in the box and just pulls out. will keep you posted and thanks heaps for the help everyone. such an awesome bunch of friendly blokes This is where I saw it http://www.fordaustraliaforums.com/forum/showthread.php?41148-fg-xr6-cheap-diy-air-intake-photos but then again this might make some sense and be a reason for it any thoughts? http://www.fordmods.com/ford-4l-and-6-cylinder-f1/fg-xr6-airbox-restrictor-t96931.html
  15. will let you know how I go tomorrow, should be simple once I have that part. have you guys heard much about the restrictors in the airbox in the fg's? or am I wasting my time. Waiting till 10k then will start looking at relocation kits and tunes and that
  16. would supercheap auto carry them? there is one down the road from me
  17. I got every type of hex key there is but not one of those stupid star things haha will get on it tomorrow. but fark it is hard to get into the little screws on the clamps that hold it onto the turbo
  18. might have to head off and grab one tomorrow. is it better to loosen the cross over or remove the intercooler pipe as well then? If I get that torque bit then I can finally remove the airbox lid and take out that restricter I keep hearing about
  19. yeh got them but its like a hex head but star shaped. its weird its not a phillips head im not that dumb
  20. hey guys so I am pretty sh*t house when it comes to car engines and cars in general. I bought a 4inch intake to replace the silencer and went to put it on today but what an effort, I think I need to remove the intercooler pipe to slip it off but the hose clamps have got weird covers over them or something and I dont have the funky star tool to remove the bolts for the cross over either so I can loosen that and slip it off that way. Any help would be much appreciated guys. if I can maybe get the star tool then I might buy a new pod filter system so I can hear the spool in sydney if anyone one wants to be hands on with it haha
  21. yeah just checked it out looks ok. let me know how it goes and if its easy to put on. im sh*t with cars and have a 4inch intake just sitting here waiting to go in as im scared ill f*ck it and wont know what im doing hahaha
  22. I think it balances the curve at the back of the cab nicely. almost mimics it
