  1. Well mate, if you've got the money, why not. I'm actually really liking the idea of a Smoke FGX G6E Turbo with Cream interior.... Don't like the XR's much, but I'm really liking the G6E Turbo's.
  2. It is reasonably cheap mate, but I wouldn't want a Force 8. If it was a force 6 with the same amount of mods, well then I'd be a bit hard pressed to say no I think haha.
  3. No offence to the bloke your going to see, but I'm glad to hear that if you guys can't quite get things right you'll be going to Monsta Torque for a tune... These things aren't like a modded V8 commo, it's easy to wreck sh*t.
  4. Steve how does your car still even go... Have you hit 290,000 yet?
  5. Could it be one of the ones Mustang Motorsport has been doing early? Don't know much about them just heard they were releasing some earlier for much more money.
  6. Definitely sounds like a good idea. I think you'll be MORE than impressed with that. If you do decide you want more, then box/tailshaft/E85 and a few other things. At worst the only thing you should need to change that you've already done is the Injectors. May I also suggest looking into different turbo's if you are putting a new one in. Explore your options for those as well as there are some great turbo's round. A lot of guys like the precisions, and unfortunately haven't owned, but have driven a car with big power running the small 6235 and it was incredible. If you are feeling rich it seems plenty will suggest the Borg Warner EFR series as well. I have owned 2 reasonably large powered falcons with the Garretts and have loved them, but check out the rest too
  7. The Lexus 'F' models (ISF/RCF) are lacking compared to the competitors. Heaps. Boris, if you still love that massive turbo kick and feel, look at the '15 S60 Polestars. Might think I'm pulling the piss but they absolutely annihilate every other car they stack up against in every single way. The A45/CLA45 is the only thing that has half a foot in, and they are fairly solid cars, but smaller vehicles. At $110,000 for a polestar, what else do you compare at that price? 335i - No reverse camera standard, no keyless entry standard, zero safety features, no power down low, it's all top end, and then if you fork out more for an M sport to have the suspension upgrades, they are still extremely soft and 'float'. Traction is also disgusting. That's like $120,00+ worth. Not to mention they have uncomfortable seats, and the interior is straight out of the 90's. Brakes are average. Very disappointing car all round Audi S4 - Same deal as the 335i, I personally think these drive a little better and suspension is tighter, but interior isn't much nicer, infotainment is as confusing as the BMW's, brakes are reasonable. Power is a bit more evenly spread but super linear and very boring (no offence non turbo guys). Definitely a nice fun car to drive, but still not quite up there. The Polestar's pull like a modded falcon. They have every safety and convenience feature under the sun, great infotainment system, digital dash, brembo's, fully adjustable suspension (leaves the suspension on bmw's/audi's in the dust), heaps of torque, power right from down low, and actually sound great. Of course when we start talking M3's/Audi RS4's (maybe)/C63's (I'd still have a polestar) it is a different story, but they are all 160,000+ Value for money, the only thing close to being worth the money are the A45's and CLA45's, and they aren't as enjoyable or nice to drive as the polestars. And yes I have driven every one of these cars extensively. (Not an RC-F)
  8. After everyone was talking about being on site, I was curious if there were many people that didn't work in the Mining Industry
  9. Correct, I do not work in the Mining industry haha.
  10. So uh.... Does anyone here do anything else for work besides working on sites? haha
  11. Most welcome mate, a lot of people who are new to this and have a good idea about cars tend to do it the wrong way. These cars are a little more complex when wanting big power than most people realise. The best thing is, at 400rwkw, if you decide you want 450-500, you wont be changing anything new, so wont really be doubling up on any mods. At worst maybe getting to the end of the ID1000 capabilities but you shouldn't have any double ups, so you can always carry on modding further without fearing you are wasting money. Best of luck with it mate, sounds like it'll be a great car. You are sure to enjoy it My personal opinion is suspension on these make a HUGE difference. They are a boat, but with some mods they feel so much more nimble. They are no porsche, but they improve drastically with a few small suspension mods.
  12. If the brakes pull him up the first time he steps on it before hitting someone..... That's if the lack of traction from tyres don't send him into a tree. In all honesty mate what people are saying is very true. Do it right the first time if you are set on that. Or, go a little lower, see if you are happy with the power (most people are). Generally most people wont suggest going over 400rwkw with these gearboxes without strengthening them. I'd stick to around that mark, otherwise yeah, gearbox, tailshaft, more fuel mods etc. Suspension and brakes make a huge difference with these. And obviously these cars aren't worth modding without tyres to at least help with some of the traction. At 375rwkw with reasonable tyres I used to slide every which way all through first, and through most of second.
  13. Feel like I should ask if you are used to cars with that kind of power at all? haha. Or you are just trying to get to 500rwkw for the number? 400-450rwkw is still massive power for a street car, honestly at the brink of what you'll actually be able to use on the street.
  14. Maybe Steve is the culprit.... Maybe he scratched your car cause he is jealous his BF doesn't pop flames haha.
  15. Steve, you are changing the mood.... Don't you see? ERRYBODY IS KHARNT!
  16. I'm not a big fan of Silver (sorry Steve) but Silk is tiiiight. Had a BFII Fairmont Ghia in Silk and have allllways had a soft spot
  17. Could be missing the whole front bumper for all I care. That's the only Silk coloured F6 (let alone R Spec) I've ever seen.
  18. Still for sale. If that didn't have 175,000 I'd be impulse buying that. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ford-Performance-Vehicles-F6-Typhoon-2007/SSE-AD-3527632/?Cr=22
  19. Loved my Ego one. Always had a soft spot for Rapid. DejaVu looks great as well (shout out Ralph). I saw one for sale about 2 months ago over east in Silk. I nearly died, I never knew they made them in Silk. Was ready to book the next flight over for it.
  20. Hahaha oh man, glad to hear the headphones are still ok
  21. Lots of tax, but also lots of cars and car mods :D
  22. Well.... That guy just turned a home deposit into a whole house worth haha.
