Great stuff! Good to see more and more people having a crack at 1000hp!

All the ricers hang out in Braddon on Friday nights... Mt Ainslie is a good quick blast that Ts love. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Forget Mt Ainslie at the moment! Ross doesn't get out very often, can't afford the petrol... Mt Ainslie has roadworks at the base, the best ACT fang is the Cotter/Tidbinbilla loop. Just watch the Feds.....

Would this be the work of the "Hillier's"??? They made a sweet looking AU coupe a while back!

I asked a while ago and was told that I needed to have the numbers too. I will try a different dealer tomorow, I really want one of those gauge holders. Anyone know the part number for the gauge pod? Shane. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Youre pushing it now! Don't know it off hand, if I remember it, I'll post tomorrow.

I use Ultimate 98 in all of my cars, as that is what is recommended by my dyno guy. Didn't notice much difference, I was previously using Optimax. My dyno guy also said most race boats use Ultimate.... FYI I was speaking to my engine builder, he recently engine dyno'd a 378 Cleveland, had Optimax in it, swapped over to Mobil Synergy 8000, picked up 30hp..... We aren't fortunate enough here in ACT to have Synergy.

You don't need a VIN # in order to obtain a FPV gauge holder! Any dealer who says this is talking .

I have a spare factory cooler now too......

Whatever you's do, if you are using your own TORX bits, make sure you use the correct one! If you use a slightly smaller one, it may still grip the bolt, but will strip the head of the bolt completely, making removal of that TORX bolt extremely difficult. You will need to drill out the bolt, and considering how close the air bag is, it can get rather dangerous!

In Melbourne???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jeff gets around you know.....

Oh dear. According to the rear bumper, they are now sponsored by Microcat! The same company that do such a pitiful effort at trying to give us parts interpreters a absolutely friggin useless program for looking up parts! By the end of the year, the BA Falcons should resemble something similar to a Goggo mobile if they use Microcat to look up parts.....

Krispy Kreme's... I really hope they never open a store in the A.C.T! :lol:

It's your over compensation that's gettin boring. :o <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :o :o

Unfortunately, you can't beat the real thing. By the time you attach that thing to a bonnet, however you do it, and smooth over the join to make it "factory looking", and respray the bonnet, the cost of a new XR8 bonnet wouldn't be too far away..... and they are all metal. No fibreglass to crack later on down the track.

Heard there is a Corvette in the states somewhere with 30's on board.....

Was on Fordworkshop today (Ford website for all the dealers), there was no mention of a TSB for the F6 clutches.....

yes the plugs were done same time as intercooler install. Street Tuner posted in another thread that any probs tend to be mechanical ones, not the actual flash tuner. still put it on a dyno mate. GOBBLE GOBBLE sure is louder !!!!!!!!!!!1 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I witnedded a full FMIC replacement done on a 200sx recently, full alloy jobbie, the wastegate flutter was definately louder after the FMIC was installed..... maybe your louder gobble has more to do with the FMIC?

Yeh, I used the Gold Class Wax on my previous "T", which was Venom Red, and I reckon it changed the colour one shade darker!! .....made it look realy lush. I use it on the Blueprint "T" I have now and it still works well, by not as spectacular as it did on the Venom. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, im still using my Gold Class. When it runs out I will look at the new stuff, but until then its Gold Class for me! I use it on my Merc Silver T, and on Kirsty's Silhouette Territory. I wax every month, without fail, and I also wax before any long trip.

It is easy to do as long as you are careful. You will need a Torx tool to remove the 4 Torx headed bolts that hold the airbag on. Also, the steering wheel is attached to column via Torx head as well. 1) Disconnect battery, wait 5 mins. 2) Remove 4 Torx head bolts from rear of airbag. 3) Unplug the audio control, cruise control, and airbag connections. 4) Remove the Torx bolt that holds steering wheel to column. 5) Turf old wheel, install new wheel. 6) Go and buy Mick a box of beer with the money you saved by installing it yourself! The rest is just a reversal of removal, just be careful when replacing air bag, the connectors and wires can get in the way, ensure they are tied up properly. I have installed many BA wheels, 2 on my own cars, 1 on Saleen's, and many others. No airbags have gone off yet! All the talk about air bags having to be "reset" or whatever is not true.

TSB?? What does that mean/how does it relate? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> TSB = Technical Service Bulletin. Dunlop have realised that there is a problem with the sidewalls on the SP3000's, and they are prone to cracking. All SP3000 tyres that suffer cracked sidewalls wil be replaced by Ford at no cost to the owner. The pressure being run in the tyre doesn't have much to do with the problem. The tyres would have cracked, regardless if you ran 30 or 40 PSI. Hope this clears it up!

There is a TSB out on the Dunlop SP3000 tyres, any dealer who doesn't know this by now really needs to have new arseholes torn for them. Tell them to have a look at the fordworkshop website, if they know what that is...... We have replaced almost 50 SP3000's, all warranty, no questions asked. All happy customers too!

Exactly!

MYF6: Excellent post. Sums it up beautifully. FPV need to pull their finger out!

For good hopefully.... You couldn't manage to take Saleen and Glenn with you could you? I'll even chip in for the one way tickets <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With what? Lawn clippings? Sorry, I didn't bold or colour any of my words either!

Looks like she's eaten a bit more than friggin cornflakes......

the gearbox would last depends o driving habbits at 300rwks but the clutch wll stat spliping after a while.I have been told swapping from auto to manual or the other way you need a pcm reflash. and you can buy a tyfoon 6speed from ford for $5500.00 plus gearbox mount and tail shaft yoke and it fits straight in <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Plus pedal box, pedals, gear shifter, shifter boot, hydraulic slave and master cylinder, clutch, flywheel, then it will probably bolt in...... need a tad more than $5500!
