Hahahaha well you can search all you want for the turbo badge on my car, cause you aint gonna find it. it has been debadged! I normally drive down roe to high wycombe(work down that way). I normally go down altone, then benara and then lord to work. but sinceall the road works on lord street cause huge delays, I dont go down that way

I haven't spotted the kron yet but I am sure I willl sooner or later. I am sure I shall start to spot everyone once I meet yall.

LOL. I might look like one as I have shaved the hair tonight, but there is definatily no link between me and a constable..

Well thought I'd introduce myself somewhere and was not sure where else to do it, since I am in WA. My nickname is masda74 and no I am not a car... Those are my initials. I recently purchased the xr6t in November, brand new and it has been a love affair ever since. Colour is sunburst, as I only had a choice of four colours. White, black, grey and sunburst. Only 4 manuals were available in Wa at the time. Hope to meet you guys at the next cruise or track day.

I didn't notice the two blokes in the pic. I had to scroll back up to even notice em. I am pretty that pic was taken in high wycombe. Lot of good looking chicks down that way. I have searched and could not find any info on a track day. Not sure if I am reviving an old thread or not. If a track day is due to happen, I am definitely keen.

I am definately interested in the pre cruise. I am in bennet springs/beechboro. could you guys possibly provide a map and time of meetup. I depends on the time, if I can make it or not.

Brenno, thanks for the reply. My new found love has come at a cost. Sitting down and working things out, I have found that if I take it easy I can get roughly 600km per tank for urban driving, no freeways involved. If I take the freeway to work, my average economy is better, but I have to travel more kms. The average economy is a lot better but I spend more fuels. It is a catch 22. I just can not resist a drag against dem commodores.... especially the SS.

WA G6ET thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I have already bought a K&N filter. I have always believed in using the K&N filters. I am not sure if I should get ford to put it in at the free 3000km service. I am sure that the xr6t would benifit from a tune after the filter goes in. Do you still recogn it won't be worth the tune?

Thank you for the reply Dillz. it's a catch 22 really. is there any place in wa to purchase an edit?

Hello everybody. I am new to the forum and have found it to be a foundation of information that is well worth my time. Thanks to everyone. I have recently bought the xr6 Turbo and have been enjoying the ride so much in comparison to the girls ride I had before(Mazda3). However with the luxury of having so much power at one's FOOT per say, it comes at a cost. I have done 880km so far and that was two tank fulls. At $89.00 a pop for each tank, I am feeling the pinch, hehehe. From what I have read so far, the "edit" could help me in the sense that if I get a custom setup done, I could reduce the fuel consumption and gain extra power. The extra power is not necessary for me and the question that begs to be answered is: Is there a way to get a custom setup done where the power remains the same but fuel consumption is improved? The other question I have, is that when I picked up the car from the dealer he told me not to run the car with 95. He said the car would not so well. With a custom map, will it allow you to run 95 safely?

Okay, am I missing something? I am 37 and I just picked up a 2011 XR6t yesterday. I contacted AAMI by phone while at the dealer and advised I got the manual with the luxury pack. Came to an agreed value that would cover everything and it is $490. Should I be concerned?
