Welcome Joeswift and enjoy. Hopefully the mod bug bites ya early rather than later.

^^^^^^ honestly, who has already done their tax return???? Unless you know you gonna get a good sum back, I doubt many have done their tax return.

so the maintenace day has been shifted to tomrrow at Luke's place? What's the address Luke??

^^^^^^ that is a negative. I am in Beechboro just like CIARAN. I travel to Forrestfield for work. You having issues getting to work because of all the train line work being done?

How much coin did that set you back Adam?

I am blessed with the same. The dash lights should come on when you turn the lights are on.

I have been looking around at pricing and at the moment I am tempted to go with the archillis ATR Sport 2. Tyre power in cannington are the only place I can get them at a decent price fitted. Ask for Steve. I have been tempted to go with the kuhmo ku31's but the price tag that comes with it.... Where are you getting the Konis from and how much?

Spotted this today. May be of interest to someone on here looking for a second motor to build up? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wrecking-Ford-Fg-XR6-Turbo-sedan-6sp-/181175662337?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a2ee93701

Seems to be something to do with the manuals by the sounds of it. I believe changing the shocks will help as well, that is next on my list. I will be changing all 4 corners though. The other thing I am doing this week or next week is changing the rear boots as I have almost worn out the dunlops after 25K worth of Kms. Hopefully I can update everyone then as I strongly believe that the issue is the tires.........

I had this exact issue. The bushes were thought to be foobar and were to be replaced under warranty. I asked if the option to get nolethane was available and I got all three done for $290. This was to cover the cost of the parts. When they went to take the bushes out, there was nothing wrong with them, but they did get damaged in the process of removing them. Ask and ye shall receive. Edited to say I have 19" rims

Cpr in perth are doing them for $12 each I think. The are just off mills road in welshpool.

GeGe6, how much and where from? Some sellers on fleabay are asking $17 each.

Well I would say that I am one of the early pioneers that bought their solar system 2 years ago. Back then the cost of my system was 18k and it has been well worth it due to the REBS and FIT in WA. That being said, I have not paid a single bill since april 2011. I have received credit every single billing cycle. I do have a 5KW SMA inverter with 32 Suntech 190w panels. It was worth it at the time, because of the government rebate. during the day we try not to use much power. We do all our power usage at night For those looking at getting solar now, since there is no REBS or the Fit, you will need to check and see how much power your consume during daylight hours. If you use more power at night, then it is not worth getting a big system. If you are able to move most of your power usage to daylight hours, for example set the dish washer, the washing machine, the pool pump and things of the sort to run during the day, then you would need to look at a system to cover that usage. If you go with a big system now, you ROI would be more than 7 to 10 years and it is not worth it. If you want to see what sort of figures you might get, this website(www.pvoutput.org) can be helpful to search of similar systems in your area and how much they are producing. Just do a search by your post code. This is my system http://www.pvoutput.org/list.jsp?id=1660&sid=1268 Systems similar to mine, will cost about 8-10k depending on where you shop. There is no warm fuzzy feeling about saving the environment if you go solar. There is a warm fuzzy feeling when you have no bills to pay and you get credit to pay off your loan.

I want to change my vote if I may. I would like to change it to the 28th. Freggin car is going in as the clutch is possibly munted. Slipping in third like there is no tomorrow.

Hopefully everyone doesn't chicken out and leave me as the only attendee.

U should have kept an eye on the Western Australia section of the forum. We have a thread up for the "Wa Xr6T Maintenance Day Round 3" which a few of us are planning on doing our Inline turbo oil filter replacements with the Earl inline filters. Could have given you an opportunity to meet a few of the other forum members... http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85514-wa-xr6t-maintenance-day-round-3/ the Fordforums site had some pics and instructions on how to go about getting the old filter off and replacing it with the Earls. Seems like you got it sorted out.

too late. Both Steve and myself did the same thing with the voting. hahahaha

where does one buy so called cheap burnout tires from and where do you burn them???

I believe the purpose of this requested maintenance day is to replace the turbo inline oil filter with an Earl's inline equivalent. I shall put that on the list. I wouldn't mind finding out how to get to the bolts for the turbo and manifold and finding out what to set my torque wrench to, now that I have finally bought one.

Sounds like another maintenance day to me. I'll let you start the thread Ciaran.... : P

You two and me now three... I have had mine for a year and a half and just CBF trying. I have asked Rob to put mine in, when me mods get done soon.

Hey Kadburyxr6t and welcome to the forum. I am no pro, but I am sure someone will come along and make a suggestion in regards to your heating and coolant issue. In regards to fuel consumption, how many Km are you getting per tank? I get about 500 to 550km depending on how I drive. Do have an FG though and not a B.A. Are you using your trip computer to work out your fuel consumption?

My father in law reckons it was a fella in a black ute with a dirt bike on the back off the ute, around armadale area. Cuting between us when he peeled off to the left. I don't recall seeing anything.

I have no idea, but my father in law said he saw the car following us for a bit and then peeled off. I am not sure why he did not warn me at the time. I only found out afterwards when I was having my burger at Hillary's.

Sorry I could not make it to the final meet point, even though I was parked at hilaries. I went for a burger with the father in law. He needed to be fed pronto. It was good meeting you Bredin. I am even more ancious to get my mods going now. Just going to have to wait. Just so everyone is aware, aparently there was a cop amongst. I believe no footage was taken and no dobbing will be done. Nope wasn't me. I am in IT just like Steve.
