turb06

Dealer showed me the procedure too, although it is a bit of messing about and quite distracting if trying to do when driving.

They are illegal in queensland only if the venting noise exceeds the maximum noise level restrictions.

I wanna see that again with the fan on full pelt.

Victorian police suck. Queensland police only go that harsh over easter, christmas and new years, otherwise it is 10%.

Shuddering shouldnt occur with these rotors ar they will be of adecent material.

hey I drive a pulsar with a big stero. And it is a great little car.

Not a bad idead turbo6man, I am sure they won't have a problem with it as they are very embarrased by the mistake.

Just tell your parents that BA stands for BLOODY AWESOME and VY stands for VERY YUKKY. It might work.

I do agree that it sound fantastic when revving. It is a bit droney when cruising but I am also coming out of a modded 4 cylinder so I dont notice it as much.

We did test drive both after the shock of seing the self shifter in the car. And as I said in my original posting we did prefer the auto over the manual. I have already got alot of options in the car also. When they said the $1500 worth of free options I was aware of the freedom pack, but I was impressed with the fact that they offered me this stuff anyway and the salesman Gary did everything he said he was going to do, which I would like to point out it was not the dealers fault, but a mistake made during production at the plant. So I didnt feel ripped off. My fiancee and I have only been able to spend $600 of it so far and are having trouble with the rest. Does anyone know how much the extended waranty is?

Although I am proud to be a xr6 owner, I do beleive the xr8 deserves a wrap. Never before has there been a local built v8 with the levels of refinement that the new flacon BA has. And I am sure it will only get better, but my ford dealer did admit that everyone at the toowoomba dealer like the turbo better. Sounds better too he said.

nothing looks better than a lowered silhouette with 18's and dark tinted windows. mmmmmmm.

The difference IMO is that the cars today can SAFELY produce these horsepower figures, with increases in safety technology like ABS, EBD, traction control, AWD, better quality disc brakes to name a few. Not like the older cars mentioned, which would have none of the above stuff except for front disc, rear drum brakes. So I dont think they will die like the others.

I ordered mine as a manual and it turned up as an auto. Decided to drive both back to back and am glad the stuff up was made.

Is this still at no cost to the customer?

I called thje ford guy today to get a definate date to pick up my new T, being easter and all and I have a hectic work schedule. He said your in luck mate it rolled off the truck this morning. Great I though I will go have a look at or new sexy beast and get some details from it so I can organise the insurance early. Walking towards the T I noted. Silhouette - check 18's Wheels - check Premium sound system - check Manual transmission - WHAT THE F$@K!!!!!! THIS SON OF A b**ch IS AN AUTO!!!!!!!!! The ford guy looked just as shocked as I was and we hurried back inside to check over the order. All ok. Some dimwitted idiot had pushed a wrong button somewhere when it went into production and it got built as an auto. After some frantic phone calls I was told I can either take the auto without cost and an additional $1500 worth of free extras or wait another 4.5 months for another car. What did we do. Since neither my fiancee or myself had driven a turbo and the only BA we tested was an XT. We decided to take the dealers auto turbo for a test drive and then a NA manual as they didnt have a turbo demo in a 5 speed. We decided to take the auto as we didnt like the shift quality, clutch, clunk in the drivetrain from the manual and it had done only 4000km. Although we are still mystified at how this happened as I know I am not the only person on this forum who has had the problem.

They are attacking the weight and the build quality but when you look at it. The wrx weighs 1300+kg for a 4 cylinder with bugger all comforts. that's a fat arse four. Has anyone ever opened and shut the doors on a rex? You can hear the poor build quality. I was shocked when I test drove one back in 1999. This rex had 1500km on it and rattles behind the dash and you could here the windows rattle when wound down. I opted for a SSS pulsar over it because of build quality and the $4000 less insurance. Will never buy a subaru.

exactly why I traded, even though I had an offer to buy for $2500 more. Its just easier.

Dont let ford know you have added the lights, they will void your warranty. (that was supposed to be funny for those not able to spot my sarcasm)

hey xrcism that's a bit mean to people who drive rice burners. The ones who do the damage are the triy hard wanna be rice burners who cruise the streets in there full sik sigmas and camiras.

It goes to show what good value for money you are getting buying a T, compared to a GTS or any HSV.

utes normally do return a better trade than a passanger car.

I was told 2 months from when I ordered, which then turned into 4.5 months. Wasnt called to be told about a delay which made me pretty un happy.

Is there a light that indicates if it is on or off? I get my T on monday.

I'm 24 nearly 25
