Trying to keep my sanity here. I don't wish death upon anyone man, I just hope that they flatten it around a corner, boost comes in late and they lose it, write the car off and get seriously injured. Hopefully they'll have a long recovery to reconsider doing something so stupid like that ever again. As soon as they flattened it out of my garage cold I wanted to cry, it's already been hurt :(

oops, should have realised it would have changed swear words. Well they tore off down the road in it cold, so I already feel sick to my stomach. Sharing it all over facebook and tryna find it, I got no other car to go around looking though, and it's been 3 hours.

Some low life piece of sh*t has just stolen my car out of my garage in Piara Waters. So I <3 Bananasing angry right now, I'm going to go insane.....

Wow, apologies for the terrible spelling on the last post. Nah no damage, just needed a new tyre. Currently in the shop now having suspension looked over, and a good throttle body clean. Car turned off on me on idle (just after starting) twice since I've had it.

Had a blow out on Sunday night, so had a new tyre fitted (before my new set all arrive), and this did help with the suspension feel and a lot of the break shudder.... Must have been in worst shape than I realised. Issue was with the inner sidewall

Hahaha I think I'll pass on that one Steve

Haha there were a few others I wanted instead this time, but these were free as I still owned them, so thought I'd put them on for the mean time

Hi All, A few of you have already seen my new FG XR6 Turbo on the cruise the other day, but thought I'd throw up a quick thread. Car is a 2008 FG XR6 Turbo, with upgraded leather, colour screen, premium sound etc, so has all the extra little goodies. Few of the mods I'm not totally sure of, but I'll put in as much as I know. 2008 FG XR6 Turbo ZF Auto 95,000kms Ego Grey Debadged Tein Coilovers Slightly darkened tail lights GT3582R (5,000kms old) Process West Stage 2 Intercooler (Had a few issues with figuring out if it was, but measurements line up and believe it is) Process West Piping Process West Surge Tank ID1000 Injectors Unsure of Fuel pump Unsure about exhaust - Think it's a 4" into a 4.5" Cat into a 3.5" out as far as I know ZF Tune (Not built) Built Chrome Moly Shaft Turbo Side Intake (unsure what brand - need a cover for it desperately, hate looking at a big pod filter) Valve Springs - Unsure Told power was Just shy of 500rwhp (about 370rwkw) on 15psi - 98 RON . Power comes in between about 4,200-4,400, so hits really late and really hard, which is kinda sh*t. - Got a set of staggered 18" Silver Lenso D1R's coming for it, and new tyres. Currently has Achilles on the front and NT05's on the rear. They are good when warm, but still light up half of 1st, top third of 2nd and very top of 3rd. - Going to give it a retune, if all is healthy put it up a few PSI and have the power come in much earlier so it's more usable on the road. Right now it either has to be all or nothing. Now, for the pics:

Yeeeeep. Can't think what else it would be for, seems slightly bigger so imagine it's been pulled from a holden. Anyways, getting a cheap tyre fitted while I wait for new rims and tyres to arrive. Then I'll be right, was just inconvenient and annoying.

..... Maybe it was a 16 then.... Haha

So last night was interesting. @PTR_NITRO_FG - I got a flat too. Camber must have been slightly off cause the inner wall was a bit more worn than the rest of the tyre, and it shredded a small part of the inner wall of the tyre on the front passenger side. Tried using the space saver I had, but had the wrong PCD so couldn't even fit it on the hub. It seemed 'bigger', so I'd say it could have been for a Expensive Daewoo as they have 5x120 PCD. Then I get a mate down with a falcon for the spare, and fit the 215/60/17, thinking it shooooould be ok. Tried to slowly move it but it wouldn't rotate. Not sure why, I'm imagining the overall size of the wheel and tyre wasn't the same size, so obviously wouldn't rotate the same as the other 3, and it just stuttered. I think that '215/60/17' didn't equate the same as the '245/35/19', and simply put too much down pressure on that particular wheel (I'm guessing it was smaller overall) so wouldn't rotate it. So long story short had to call a tow truck, and send it off to sit outside my mechanics at midnight. I'm now waiting to hear back from my guy. Ugh...

And most importantly I didn't take any kerbs! Awesome to see Marco's car being an absolute beast now. Cruise was great guys, cheers!

go the back of petbarn, away from the main rd. It's near Rivers and stuff. Somewhere around there will do

Really hard to tell what colour that is in the picture but as keith said,looks like a BFII

If yours is 2007 it's definitely a BF II, not a BA II. People have covered most of the differences. Also colour can be a dead give away if you know your colours well enough.

Well, as much as I'm keen on 20's and have found a set I was about to buy, I had an unfortunate mishappen at work, splitting my pants haha. I had to drive home to change, and on that drive I realised how harsh the ride was, and was much as I want a firm time ride, harsh and bumpy is never enjoyable. I might even go 18's. Still undecided but I'm starting to lean that way.

Oh good, well even if it's 3 of us that's still a cruise worth doing! And like I said early, we normally have 1 or 2 that magically show up

Bahaha, this isn't turning out so well. As much as I like you John I don't really just wanna go out on a big cruise with just you hahaha. Should we hold it off?

Surely @arronm will be there, he's always up for putting a bit of side ways action on display Usually a couple of others randomly rock up that weren't expected. @Krazy Kyle are you gonna be there mate?

I did notice you felt the bumps a bit too but never really bothered me to be honest. Thought I do have coilovers on this so it miht be a bit harsher.

If we can, I vote a tunnel run at some point in the cruise. It's been about 4 years since I've had the pleasure of listening to a turbo falcon in the tunnel haha.

That's funny man, what do you hate about them? I've had them before on my FG about 3 years ago. Car was slightly lowered too, and I had no issues with them at all. Do you mean for ride quality? Cornering? traction?

Saturday? Easy, Cockburn shopping centre it is.

Looks like there's a few up for 3.30 meet. Lets lock it in if no one has any objections. Anyone got any good meet points or map ideas? I'm useless, I don't know many places well enough.
