The blowoff valve is fitted by car manufacturers to minimise/remove turbo compressor surge.

That is fast, first was over before it even began...

Now that I have had the car almost a week and done about 1000kms time to provide some feedback. Below comments should be taken in context that I have recently previously owned 2 x BA XR8s, BA XR6, Subaru Liberty 3.0, HSV Clubsport and a 2003 Expensive Daewoo Monaro. - These BF "performance brakes" that came standard on the XR6t and XR8 are excellent, these are a great improvement on the BA stockos and may even be better than the PBR Performance Brakes I had on my Monaro - These turbos are as good as everyone says, the torque just never seems to let up, the engine is far more linear than my edited LS1 powered Monaro was and is on a whole new level to the BA XR8s - The ZF 6-Speed is owesome, I am still surprised when it changes down on it's own, I love how refined it feels - I note that the BF shocks have the same rattle as all my BAs also had, I think it is time for a set of aftermarket shocks, anyone recommend a decent well priced brand? - I have noticed an internal water leak that appears to run down outside the drivers side airvent near the door, seems to happen when it rains and when I wash the car, after researching the web it appears that this is normally from a poorly sealed windsceen, does anyone here have any other info/advice? - I forgot how good the Ford headlights are - Also, I fixed the sunroof, pulled the fuse for about 30secs and all was good Overall, loving the car and smile everytime I think about it!!

I have used philips before with good success

I am keen to replace the shocks on my BF XR6t. I have read that members have had good results with Bilsteins. Are these the best value for mony shocks? Where can I get these in Perth and what should I pay for them?

About $50 for the liner..

That's funny, his face will be gold!!!!

Picked the car up, loving it... About the only issue is the sunroof, it only works with the 1 and 2 buttons (close, up and down arrows don't work), I think it is due to the battery having been disconnected.... anyone know how to reset this?

I pick the car up tomorrow, can't wait........ Now to try and sleep between now and then Getting them to fit some darkest legal tint before pickup.

Yeah, keen to see more pics of this car with these rims.....

I am keen to get a sport steering wheel, does anyone have a link for one of these steering wheels? Only place I can find them has them for $895....

Don't bother guys, found it: PART NUMBER - BAF46404A1 DESCRIPTION - BA/BF Fairmont Boot Trimming PART NUMBER - V860213S DESCRIPTION - BA/BF Fairmont Boot Trimming Clips

Welcome to the forum! I think you may have missed that this thread was started in 2005 and was about the BF new colours.....

Been doing some searching for the partnumbers for the felt BF bootlid liner and clips.... Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks Dan, bought the car from Centre Ford... Car was listed on Carsales for $30888, but I didn't pay that...

Yep, take it all out, the dealer wont care, they will more than likely be wholesale-ing it anyway. Does your contact list the bits under the tradein? If not, pull it out.

After a trip to the dark side for a couple of years, today I went out and saw the light! I couldn't resist the current price of used XR6t's at the moment. Bought a Bionic 06 BF XR6t with ZF 6 speed, sport luxury pack and sunroof. Can't wait to pick it up next week! What should be my first buys for the car? Just ordered a Meshman260 lower grill.... Need a bluetooth kit, what does everyone recommend? PS. What happened to the site?? Need to have a good look around and get used to the changes!

That looks pretty damn good, like the way the screen is now up high, buttons etc appear to have a European look.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys, I am leaning toward the ZF now..... Now to get looking for one.

Been away from the forum for a while. The wife wants to replace her Y-Series Clubsport with a Typhoon. :hiwelcome: Can you guys summarise the pros and cons of the T56 verses the ZF Auto Box? She loves the Bionic colour, not too sure on it myself, what's eberyones view on Phoons in Bionic? Looking at the market for used/demo/new...

eBay they are far cheaper than that.

Sorry, I have a Motorola V360.

I am tossing up between the Parrot CK3100 or the Genuine Motorola HF850 What does everyone recommend? I think from the pics that the Motorola looks more "genuine" whereas the screen/readout on the Parrot would be handy.... Too many decisions!!

Whats the other glowing thing on the dash next to the wheel. ← Motorola bluetooth handsfree.
