After 140 you say bahahahahaha I'm not joking -- that's where mine takes off again (and I do mean 'again').......farken freak of a turbo :)

Cheers heaps for the info guys

That's what I thought Pete Cheers What about wheels? 18" or 19" fpv wheels?

Can't answer for Biz (well I can coz I know his answer but I won't hehe) but I love the baby gtx Had another tune put in my G6 yeasterday -- almost 21.5psi at 3200 (coz older and reflexes arent as good as the youung folk so a bit of lag for me thanks) and still holding 17 and a half at 5600 (max power) will do me fine thank you very much Just wondering what I'm gunna break next :(

slightly off topic (sort of) Can someone tell me what brembos (4 or 6 pot) and pads the 5-0 use (d) on the FG with what size wheel?? Cheers

Can't remember where I read it but 'most' brands are the same spring apparently (IF I remember right of course)

nah I'll be fine......... <-- famous last words hey HAHAHAHA Read ya msg's Biz (please) Edit No graph.....I didn't need it

Oooppppssss Forgot a pic

Almost 2 months and the Rocker is still sitting on the coffee table hahahahaha ... There are a couple of other bits I wanna get dipped in the next couple of weeks (before they close for xmas/new years) and then I'll put it all on..............hey knob ;) Sooooooo - Wheel Bearings The left rear bearing (remembering that I just bought an entire assy from the wreckers to get me going after the first bearing went) ummmmmmm, well, went. Must of been affected by the weather or something I guess. I took my original assy up to ford and they pressed in a new bearing saying that the hub was fine so a mate and I installed the assy and about 3 days later I noticed that it was a bit noisy and I had to pump the Brembos again for full pedal (to stand the wheel/rotor up straight) so I took the car straight up to Ford and some mechanic said, "You didn't tighten up the shaft nut properly mate". Bull farken sh*t.......I may be old but I'm not a retard FFS. The 'new' (Ford supplied) nut that I got ($28) when they replaced the bearing was tightened as per their specs which according to Fords head mechanic up there is --- Tighen up with rattle gun set to medium torqure, loosen off and re-tighten with rattle gun on high torque until you reach 'farken tight NM' Anyway, Ford tightened it up again and 2 days later I put new tyres on the rear (KU36's) and my tyre guy said "Don check this out" and you guessed it, the nut was loose AGAIN and the hub had a lot of play (AGAIN) so I borrowed a car, raced home to get my 'deep socket', went back, tighened it up and went straight back to Ford Mt Barker where they put Loctite on the nut to hold it tight.......Ohhhhhhh Dearrrrrr. 4 weeks later and the nut is still tight but obviously the bearing is farked......noisy as all crap.......I've spoken to a few people (including my Tuner) and all said the same thing, The bearing wasn't installed correctly which 'more than likely' caused the nut to loosen which in-turn has stuffed the pre-load on the bearing so now it's a left shoulder job.......FML Not going back to Ford -------------- EVER. ------------------------------ So what else Emergengy Operation on my leg a cupla weeks back -- that was fun. I currently have a open wound on my leg about 1.25 inches by half inch and about 5 to 8 mm deep (was 20mm deep but slowly healing and will take about 2 months). Did I mention the constant pain? ------------------------------- Finally put the car back on the Dyno this morning to fix the error codes (P0136 & P0138) and Brett said it's because the waste gate duty cycle was outside the desired boost control (coz tuned in closed loop) in the 400 kw tune to keep all the factory safety stuff in it still so he fixed that, took the 2 error codes out of the G6 and then did another tune for me..........coz we were having fun chatting (or he was having a bludge for a while hehehe) I sat in the car the entire time he was doing all this and OMFG it was fun watching him tune it -- He explained every table that he adjusted and why he was adjusting it.......I understood (logically) at the time but I have no farken idea now hahahaha. He gave it a bit of fuel, a bit more boost and brought it on earlier and let it hold a bit more torque coz he reckons the trans is still feeling fantastic. Didn't have to play with timing or anything and in the end it only gave 3kw more but I have 21 (and a bit) psi almost 600 rpm earlier. He couldn't get boost any quicker coz the car kept 'auto down shifting' at around 2000-2500 so he had to pedal it to 3000 before he could floor it :) He rang Chris (Herrod) to see if there is a way to force the ZF to stay in 4th but unfortunately Chris said that that is what he has to do with FG's with 400 or more as well but he said he will ask his old man (Rob) when he gets back to Australia to see if there is a table or something that will lock it in 4th for dyno runs ---- Who knows if it can be done or not. I have ended up with peak torque at 3500 (940NM (raw) limited) and 403.6 at 5600 (no graph smothing) with 17.57psi going through it still. WOW I gotta say, what a difference to the original 400 tune......boy does it feel good on the road. Obviously it rained this arvo here in SA (Coz car on dyno hehe) so I will give it a good play on the weekend and report back......thank god for the rain..hopefully it puts the fire out that's still burning up at Mallala Oh and while I'm here ratter, when we went for a big test drive once he had finished, he wouldn't stop praising your Trans Tune........seeeeeee, I'm not the only one that loves it mate

Was told in my thread (when talking about these tyres) that 28" may need the inner plastic guards removed (FG)

Have a look at the video in my build thread gaz....... reckon it's about the same

Can also comment that I feel the same way........ it wasn't a 'total' waste of my money but close enough

Only put a tac on my bracket..... hehe Did you have to drill out the rod hole a bit Ralph? we had to with mine (using a garrett actuator)

Oh really??? Over the last 12 months, I reckon I would be fairly close when I say that a quarter of new threads opened here are about bad dealings with those pingheads and yet people still deal with them. Scrolling up, I see they are popular on Facesux therefore I would suggest that the OP flood their page with complaints - and warnings to others

Can't remember which thread it was but a couple of people were saying that the Philips globes only lasted about 12 months and I posted that the Philips Crystal Vision globes in my car were just on the 12 month age and going strong.... About a month back - making the globes about 14 or 15 months old - one blew so I had to replace them....... 90 bucks a pair for h4 [emoji20]

THIS FFS As the company is NOT responding to your emails, doesn't that show (prove) that they don't give a f uck therefore naming them will help ensure that no-one else goes through what you went through. Surely you are not the type of person that 'wants' to see others screwed over like you have been, but then again, I don't know you so maybe you do --- prove me wrong by naming them because inso doing, you WILL be helping others

I gotta award an extra point to Kimbo...... coz made me laugh

Thread needs pics of Tab doing skids

lolol You need some of the ebay clamps like what I've got Rab..... I'll send you the link later

That sux sooo much mate... sorry that you're going through this I understand and agree with your concern about using it so if the supplier wont do anything, hit yp Fair Trading Oh and take pics of 'everything' for records

Pics/videos from everyone please folks Have a great weekend

Make him pay half the bill Rab..... he can afford it coz he isn't spending anything on fixing his car atm [emoji23] [emoji23]

and for fuel
