Matt. The speedo on these cars are 7kmph out on the high side on the standard 18s as per my Navman.My Brother just put a set of 20s on his car and as per his Navman it is perfect now. Hope this helps.

Towed my Brothers Southwind SR20 from Sydney to Brisbane in 1 day no problems.The TT has some weight to handle these big heavy loads. 72 litre tank as well so got 550 towing the boat up there and 650/680 on the way back cruising. He liked it so much he went and bought one. The bottom has the good rods in it and the valve springs are the same.Dont have to replace them. Just check out all the suspension bushes before buying a second hand one.The front and rear bushes will need replacing regardless if it has some age and Kms on it. Done mine already and he got his replaced under warranty.

There on ebay mate[Complete units]

My brother had his exhaust debunged at Brendale.We put some 440s in,Did the plugs when he came down to Sydney last week. Spiro from Autotech then did tune and he got 240awkw. The exhaust sounds terrible so are looking into a new systym now. He fitted a full 3.5 S/S systym to my car 2 months ago with a new tune.

ofa. Pm me if you want to offload them,I want a set.

All my turbo bolts where loose to mate plus the exhaust manifold as ususal.If you need a new complete core there is a guy in Brisbane selling brand new cores for $1300.00 with 12 months warranty and a ford screen filter.I thought I might have to do the same but lucky this time I think.Hope you one is Ok.Good luck.

Guys. I just had mine replaced after 150000km as oil light flashing on start up for a second or 2.I dont think it is a good idea not to run this filter on the block at all. They are only around $60.00 complete from Ford and not hard to fit on the Falcons so why wouldnt you.There is a reson for Garrett not giving warranty claims without the use of them. The have modified the inner filter screen anyway on the the new units. I replace my oil with good quality stuff every 10K and it still got blocked up so be careful.These turbos seem to be popping now with lack of oil flow threw them when they get some age into them. Spend the $60.00 for piece of mind.It will cost you over 3K for a new rebuilt core.

Damm that's good buying mate/That would of been 70K brand new 3 years ago. Well done.

Your right mate,Standard Territory on Gas is a good thing.You dont loose your cargo space in the rear either. Standard Territorys on petrol are lucky to get 350km out of a tank around the city.Think they lost all there sales from this issue. Lets hope the new oiler will get 800kms they really need from $70.00.

Those torque figures look good for a start. The motor will get around 8/900kms to a tank as well I assume. I think they will sell them quite easilly.

What a waste.This has been the best Ford I have ever owned.Stealth,Power and grip is the go. I am sure they could of sold a couple of hundred thousand in the US if Ford let them in. Why didnt they let some tuner have a go at tuning the things properly to get another 100kms out of the tank.I get a easy 650km out of 70 litres on the sydney/Brisbane run for the past 3 years.

Chris. You should look at the government Auctions as well as the Police where offloading all there Turbo Ts for a while now.Any colour as long as white. You might want to have a look at a 2nd hand Lexus RX330 as well for 30K or Mazda CX7 for that matter.

Mal. Do you have any friends that are a member of Capricorn over there in the auto industry. I just fitted 4 brand new Kumho Road Ventre/235/55/R18 100V for $220 fitted each.Hope this helps.

Chris. You should be able to get a decent ghia [Non Turbo for that 30K.Make sure they do a full inspection of the suspension before buying. You wiill have to look out for these items to see if have been replaced or not. Lower front balljoints are failing on all models. Front diff bushes for sure on 4WD models. 3 bushes in rear holding diff all failing/All models. Some cars are getting rust around the rear window lower right hand edge. Rear shocks failing/Bushes plus going soft.Front shocks going soft plus rear end springs sagging. Windows dropping out of channels on front and assorted trim bits and pieces. Front brake hoses will have to replaced and rears as per recall/Non turbo. Expect only 300/350kms out of 70 litres for a standard one as well. I am aware of these things as have 5 mates with assorted Terris and all the same problems occuring. All the running gear seems to be good but and quite a nice car to drive.

Hi Guys. Has anybody taken delivery of a new G6 on straight Gas?. How big is the gas tank What is the milage out of one tank?. Are Ford switching over to a new Orbital Gas Vapour systym or has this already been done. What does the car go like. Any comments would be much appreciated. I am considering a new G6 limited the they are advertiseing at present
