  2. Happy Birthday Tysons1986!

  3. CT 110 is the most reliable rig ive eva brought! plus huuuuuuuuuuugge chick magnet haha leigh I was secretly loosing my sh*t,that's why im always so angry at work haha. but its all good and well. cya friday
  4. Haha yeh maybe at heathcote,its the closest track. its my daily driver (when im home which isnt often) but ill give it a run. I just dont want to break anything, have no idea what clutch is in it but holding up nice as of now. an if I do break it I still have a postie bike I rip around on. only a little power difference!! Head back to work friday so the track run will have to wait till next time.
  5. Yeh I will definatly only go through them from now on, weather it be any more mods to this car or if I upgrade. they made the last part of this debarcle very easy for me so wont be going anywhere else. I live about 3-4 hrs away from the shop and im more than happy to travel for the service. Thanks all for the kind words,like I said the car is amazing now,an if ppl learn from my mistakes then my post has done its job. cheers
  6. I work with this crazy man an have done for the last 2 yrs, prity much knows everything about these cars. he was prity excited when he had a small feature in street machine. what did they call you again?? "bogan in an old falcon"? hahaha. prity sure youve got a full feature in perth street cars this month right?
  7. Wow this got out of hand prity quick,all im doing is sharing my experiance with you all. no need to read into it anymore than that really.
  8. but whats done is done, not much point sooking about it.its just everytime I see that useless flash box I wanna snap it over my knee
  9. I would just feel bad mentioning names,they do deserve it though. lets just say im not the first to have a rough experiance judging by other comments I have seen on here. altho none quite as bad as mine. the flash box is the thing that pisses me off the most. there not cheap and the box just doesnt lock its self out to another car.
  10. Hey lads just thought id share my story of reaching 300 with you all it all started this time last year,I brought a xr6t 2005 BA 6sp manual from melbourne. was looking for a long time before it came up. it was toatally standard except for upgraded brakes and in great shape. I travelled down to the south eastern suburbs and took it home that day (I live on the border in echuca) car was fine,and drove great for a couple months. then started breaking down in anything above 3rd gear and ran extremly rough. after some research and a friend that works for fords advice it seemed like the valve springs were soft,that was fine as I thought when I order a few bolt on parts ill get the springs done before a tune. so I ordered a heap of gear back in december last year. HD valve springs under battery cold air intake intercooler and piping venom 5" cat Deka 60lb injectors Earls oil filter Walbro 340 intank fuel pump Flash tuner X3 Now this is where things started going bad,by feb the parts hadnt arrived and there was something going wrong with the car,first of all the car was being funny because of the soft springs but also started cutting boost off like a switch at about 3000rpm. so I took it to a guy in echuca where he diagnosed it and it was overboosting,badly. which I thought was strange as it was still stock. on further investigating the turbo front housing had been replaced with something larger. no worrys I thought,ill just wait for my parts then get the tuner to work his magic. by march I called the place where I ordered the stuff and they said I hadnt paid for it so its not sent. I payed for it the day I ordered dumb arse. anyway they said sorry and sent the parts. finally by may the parts had arrived or so I thought,a big box came and inside was the pump,cooler,flash box and cat. that's it. no injectors,no springs. so I called the guy and said what the hell? and he said its ok we sent them seperate,ok I thought that's ok. anyway a month goes by...no parts. I call again,where are they? oh we sent them already,well they havent arrived. ok we will send another set. I was starting to get annoyed at this stage. another month goes by and the springs show up. no injectors. another phone call and they said bad luck we sent them twice. I was pissed off. I went and brought injectors seperatly and fit everything bar them. I work over in WA on 4 weeks on 1 week off. so doing all this sh*t was quite a mission especcially living in echuca. I called pit lane and booked it in start of september. I dropped the car off and asked if it was ok to leave for a month. yup they said no problem,more than happy too which was awesome. anyways I get a phone call couple weeks later from Bell at pit lane when they said the X3 flash box was locked to another car...wtf!! it came in a box and everything! so I wrote an email to the guy I brought all this crap from, and basically he said bad luck. mick at pit lane had a second hand one which I purchased from him. I was furious at the supplyer,id payed for injectors and a new flash box and one didnt show up an one was locked out! now I have a completly useless flash box sitting in the boot. I

  12. rightio, I was prity sure from what I had read in places but wanted to run it by you guys first, appreciate all your help and input.
  13. diff bush was replaced before I purchased the car. actually almost everything was,rotors,pads,springs. all had to be for road worthy. I have the recepts and everyhting from the person I purchased from. my friend has a xr6t as well so just swapped the coils and no comprenday. was thinking valve springs,but why only at higher speed in higher gears?? more load on the motor I figure? how would this explain the running rough for 20secs after?
