very nice

XR6 Turbo

well are you guys going to post them or what? :D

MrWalker i have heard from people at FOMOCO that you do need to have your speedo recalibrated for the 18" wheels. I suggest you check this with your dealer.

dont say things like that! I thought the same thing :(

The brochures were incorrect at time of printing.. it is a cost option unfortunately.

Whats the engine light problem and horn?

I have spoken to Felicity at the Discovery Centre and she has said a whole heap of new merchandise should be coming out soon.. stay tuned!

Speaking to Rob Herrod he said Ford have been really strict on warranty and will not warrant the car for any mods. However he is working with an aftermarket warranty place to fully warrant the drivetrain etc on cars after being modded.

yes would be interesting to know.. ive heard on the contrary.. from people who work for FOMOCO.

I think the handling is quite good..been pretty fast around some corners and ive had no problems at all.

awesome stuff mate.. cant wait for the pics!

13? ive still got like 15.9 or so.. dunno if this is because of the exhaust or what..

20" rims on an XR6T

so a larger intercooler wouldnt do much?

takes some pics and post them! We would love to see! :D

I was thinking about this the other day and was wondering you guys opinion? Ive always loved the T Series big wing, it makes the car look so much more agressive.. really good. What are your thoughts on putting this on an XR6 Turbo? will it look bad or again turn it into something its not?

I think it was a heat problem.. i had the same problem in regards to performance.. the XR6 Turbo reminded me of my mirage... it was like it lost so much power it wasnt funny..

stalled? damn! :(

Ive heard the new Focus thats coming out in march is supposed to be a really quick and nice car.. would like to see what its like when it comes out

what would we do without you esky :D

no idea :( bigger intercooler perhaps?

Got any more fine pics of your ute?
