  2. I can't tell you how disappointed I was standing at Bluepower at 3:50pm on friday arvo and the rain started to fall. I had been at Chris's workshop from 8am that morning getting my car finally ready for that night with a new blower and new tune on it. As stated by Danno - Genebaby, Big Glenn & Myself were nearly ready to head out there with all the rest of the guys from the ACT to spectate. Chris knows the guys real well the track and rang and was told it would not be on, then relayed to us. I wish I had given my mobile number to you guys as I would have gone out there in a flash. Sorry for the failure to show. Cheers Damo (GT595)

  6. Hey Guys - geez my last post would have been a few years back - hows that for a memory password etc!!!........ used to have a Silhoette XR6t - now downgraded to a GT..... I will be travelling down with Danno and will definately take the GT down the strip - even though she wont be as quick as you guys - she'll sound the part!!!!! I'll even let you take her down for a couple Dan........ just be gentle on my gearbox!!!!! 1/Goldbullet 2/Geea 3/HPF 4/Flukey 5/XR6Tease(BA GT)
  7. There seems to be a lot of dollars invested but by the sounds of things money very well spent - the car looks great - Love your work, look forward to the results on paper. Damo
  8. Hey Cro, Looks great - if you guys want these printed @ business card size etc professionally on a nice heavy gloss card stock let me know as I head the design and prepress area for a printer in Canberra. I think these should be left at all Ford outlets and Ford Car yards to promote the site. If you want them done I can then send them or meet up with you guys (I get to Sydney Quite a bit as we have a company there). Let me know and I can get the ball rolling - might need it a bit more high res but will check your word document. Catcha Damo PS: be able to do 1000 full col cards for free.
  9. Im in 4 sure.....
  10. Had an XR6 "97" Ute (White) with no mud spats front or rear. Tar became part of the paintwork and I only had the car for three years, when it came time to sell I thought id get rid of it so when I cut it back - looked like crap......Definately get them cause Stone chips fresh tar etc does expensive damage to your lower panels....They look pretty sharp too...
  11. Thanks Guys.....Will go from there. Cheers Damo
  12. Has anyone installed (had someone else install) a Nokia Car Kit utilising the new Audio plugs under the Fuse Compartment. Im having all sorts of trouble finding someone who actually knows where to get the conversion plug....(These are reputable places chasing this info for me too so no names ) but getting a bit pissed at the moment cause everyone is sort of relying on each other to get some answers - hence asking out there to anyone already conected.... so I can let them know...... :idea: Cheers Damo
  13. Got them at Auto Barn and installed them myself, Didnt know they were illegal but the mounting brackets are crap and need to be modified using the existing rubber mounts screwed into the back... (Exactly my concern Crispy) There is no fixed clamps - they rely on each other to slide grip into a (not so convincing) lock position and as I said to myself not safe under heavy gear change and braking. I have thoroughly put them under the test and they aint going anywhere with the mods... and they do feel good under the old soles.- Thanks for the tip though. Damo PS: im sure theyd come in different colours and Auto pedals but dont really know.... Even though the pick looks a bit bluey! they are cabon Fibre on the back plate and Grey Grip pads (not light blue)
  14. $119 was the damage (it is rich but the only reason is for that yellow type in the middle)..... You do notice the grip difference but mainly got em for the cosmetic factor....
  15. As stated each to there own about additions to your car but I like them..... The better half thinks im stupid putting them on but see for yourselves. A subtle addition I feel - cause even though they stand out in the photo you really have to get down close to see them and with the new globe instalation they look great at night before you step in. Cheers Damo
  16. The dealer gave me 3 containers (2 of wash one of a recoat polish).... When I run out I can get some more... Its pretty good stuff and comes if you get the "Truglo & Truultra" Paint Protection coat. Id still call your Dealer and see if you can get some (if not for free) from them. The Truultra Wax based Gel leaves a coating on top for about a Month and bird howyagoings and sap seem to come off real easy.... Goodluck.. Damo
  17. Give a few local dealers a call - I believe they are all allocated a certain amount of cars from each build + the ones they order for people, and if there isnt one you want "as is" on this list, get them to mix and match with the options on other models they are scheduled to have... I was lucky, I did this and got my car in six weeks. I went to 2 car yards in Canberra and one delivery date was 4 months the other was 2 months and they both competed against each other in price.....Just ask - no harm done - Good luck to try to hurry deliv!!! they are awesome...... Damo
  18. Thanks NT TURBO will get a hold of a VN to VX and do a bit of trimming. Did end up finding a few threads over lunch regarding this... Cheers
  19. Hi all, Went to replace the air filter to a K&N using the standarn air box and after contacting K&N their reply was - they dont make one suitable for the XR6T yet . I have noticed some with K&N Filters written as an option in this forum and am wondering do I have to replace the standard Filter box with a custom setup, if so how do you receive the optimum cool air without major surgery on the existing under the bonnet setup ..... Including not braking the bank as the standard replacement filter for the AU was $159 alone so im thinking a custom setup would hit in at about $500 (Arm, pod filter, Brackets, Heat shielding material etc). I have heard that Expensive Daewoo are developing a dual air intake for the SS and Ford are right behind them and just that alone is to increase the XR6T to 250kw for approx $290.. anyone else to confirm this.....maybe a Ford employee. These issues are probably on the Forum - either call me a busy person or lazy bas*ard........ :D Cheers Damo

    Got One!

    It already had the premium sound in the car - originally the car was scheduled to be white with cloth trim and was auto. one other had the manual gearbox and the other had the leather.....as I say I was pretty lucky they could do the flip side ( I am only going off what I recall from the 10th of march) but it definately was already booked to get the Premium sound - this was lucky because I think that is the major wait these days. Should definately be considered though. Cheers Damo
  22. Top Stuff - one simple look and there they were...... Not a bad investment for $2.95 @ Autopro. Nice one to Ford for the simple addition - not....

    Got One!

    Got the car through Gregorys in Braddon, Excellent turnaround - I was lucky as they had three different cars available and I stole bits and pieces from those three to create the one I wanted, (Silouhette XR6T, Maunal, Leather, Premium Sound, Scuff guards, XR Mats, Tint.) - must appoligise now to anyone who ordered just after me from Gregorys and couldnt get the premium and leather because of me. Car is already booked for next week to take 2 1/5" off the ride, then the wheels polished (does anyone know a better price than $170per rim in Canberra) + later with a 3" exhaust - and that will just about do it for my taste. Did anyone else have trouble getting use to the amount of kick these cars have and the smooth ride - (60kmph feels like you can jump out and run faster than the car). I came from a VT family wagon by the way. Damo

    Afternoon all, Very happy to see yet another XR6T ordered for the Canberra area.

Im not going to hold my breath for next week but if it happens it happens. will keep you posted then. And the photos will start..... Cheers Damo
