Both myself and kirsty had a really good time!! It was very well planned, and went off without a hitch. Great driving! Was good to put some more names to faces, and we look forward to the next cruise. Well done everybody and especially MISSXR! Cheers! Mick and Kirsty! :lol:

I am still waiting for you to return my call Brad..........

I enquired about cross drilled rotors (same as the Carrera Cup Porsche's) when I was buying my AP rotors, and the brake dude said that the cross drilled rotors develop hairline cracks froom the holes in the Porsche's. And after he said that, I havent seen any V8 Supercar rotors that are cross drilled? Or WRC cars for that matter? Could be wrong. So I am using slotted only.

My dyno mate owns a auto XR6T, and he tows his boat (competition 8ltr), he has put airbags in the rear suspension to assist with the load, and he reckons its the best car he has EVER used for towing. He uses the H/D towbar with the square box hitch. He said some people get a tad annoyed when he drags them off at the lights towing his boat!

Ditto Now watch 'em flock to Horizon's Us too! They'll definately go to Horizon's now!! :lol:

The sump bolt has a rubber "collar" going around it, this rubber collar acts as the sump plug washer. The XR6's do not use a sump plug washer as such. :tosser:

Was that at the new drag strip behind Eastern Creek Raceway? Western Sydney International Dragway?

Good work Matty! Jump on em! :lol: :lol:

Top stuff. Well done!

The addition of hotdogs will also keep you legal. If you remove a muffler and put straight thru pipes on, the mod is defectable (I remember plonky saying this somewhere). However, if you put 1 or more hotdogs on in place of the factory muffler, it stays all nice and legal.

I dont like the retro look of the SS instrument cluster.

Yep, wipes for me. Saw that leather cream stuff on the shelf, so glad I didnt purchase that stuff as well! Wipes are good. Just make sure you do the entire seat, cause if you miss wiping any of the seat, it sticks out like the proverbial.

I use 15 - 40 oil, the same stuff that Ford recommends. Part number R1-340 5L. this topic has been discussed thoroughly previously. Maybe do a search.

Matty I noticed this noise when I fitted a boost and blower gauge in my XC, I am using Automoter gauges. Im not overly worried about it. Just hope its the same noise! :lol:

I heard New Gel here in sunny Canberra do a carbon fibre bonnet for the XR8 as well.... $1800 so the rumour goes...

2 more peoples! Wont take long!!!! Cmon! :uziman:

Ummmm, there not that much! Im not at work at the moment, but I believe the rough price is around $1300? Painting would require about 400 clams. These are all guesstimates! :lol: Could be wrong!

note to self... order 19" ROH fury rims..... Like I said, if you copy them, ill kill ya!

I am very keen for the plug in module, as I always want the option to return my car to completely stock condition if the need ever arose. I would be happy with around tree fiddy kw's. (350kw for those "uneducated" ones :lol: )

You may be able to use the front caliper on the back, but you wont be able to use the rotor. Ford's handbrake mechanism uses the inside of the rotor as a "drum" setup for the handbrake. Dont insist on price when it comes to brakes. I spent big bucks on my setup, and it by far and away the best coin I ever spent. The brakes were the worst thing about my car, now they are the best.

I know its difficult, but if you could give as much notice as possible it would be much appreciated! I would like very much to travel down to Calder and see how it all goes. Considering us Canberrans dont have a drag strip.... :banghead:
-
And mine makes it three!!!! :lol: What address do you want them delivered to?

Thanks Trumpy, found it. At this stage, my original order for a Gaugeworks Fairmont style boost gauge is still a goer! Is it here yet? :lol:
-
Has anybody seen Dynosteve gauge pod? He only charges $120 to us forum members, and a AutoMeter boost gauge is only $150 from Autobarn. And you can get a pod that holds 2 gauges at no extra charge, whack a oil press or oil temp gauge in there too! I would be very interested in seeing a picture of his mounting pod.
