Ok thanks for the info.. I did hear something about the diff bushes, I was hoping it was sorted in the later cars though.. Oh well. The line filter is a funny one.. Why do ford say service once a year or 15k if they have these sorts of issues? Ill be changing the oil/ filter every 7500 but the filter thing sounds like a pain in the ass.. Anyway probably not supposed to be using newbie thread for this sort of chit chat. Thanks again.

Hi guys, My wife and I have just purchased a fg le xr6t... Still waiting to pick it up. But as a Late model camira fan and owner for my whole life I know very little about the xr6t scene/mods/performance etc except for the obviouse so here I am.. I can hardly believe it myself. I'm a ford owner :-/. I have built a few commodores and the new xr excites me.... I will be holding off on major mods for a while though as the car is mainly just my wife's as I have a work vehicle. But a couple of things interest me..... Valve springs? Now I know how these work and what they are etc etc but I am curious as to weather they need upgrading even when leaving the car stock? As I still do plan to drive it as hard as possible? Next is basic mods that don't void warranty? Is changing air intake weather it be just panel filter or full swap from original worth it? What do you guys recommend to do to this thing? Or should I just leave it till I'm willing to get a tune? Also.. Is there anything else I should be keeping an eye on? Problems etc.. Cheers guys Nathan
