  1. 4.09 is the closet you'll get in the gear sets for these diffs (although most sell these as 4.11) I had them in my old ute. After swapping out the 4spd Auto for a T56 the 3.43 was waaaaaaaaay to tall. Could do 80+kph in first. I changed the ratios to 4.09. Was laggier off the line than the 3.43 and would light the tires once it came on. Roll's at speed where fantastic though. A touch of brake to load it up and off she would go. IMHO 3.73 is the spot on ratio for the T56. Especially if you can find a T56 from an F6/GT that has the closer 2/3/4 ratios.
  2. Both are 3.73 stock. If you go lower you'll get more wheel spin when it comes on boost but it will be larger coming on. Got higher and you place more load on the driveline so it will build boost quicker but may result in wheel spin. 3.73 is the best compromise, that and working on your driving style.
  3. Got to a different Supercheap store, give them a sob story that it left your pregnant missus stranded. They will replace it. Sign up for Clubplus while you are there and they will never query a warranty claim again.

    My Build

    Plus strain relief for the wires not having them conform to a tight radius bend at the connector cause by the heat shrink, plus the ability to actually diagnose an issue if it should pop up.
  5. they are a direct fit for the stock B Series ford locations. Rears in a B series are in the rear parcel shelf. Google suggest FG's have a 6 or 6.5" round speaker so disregard the link above.
  6. I have a suggestion, but it's not cheap. fuelab...
  7. I threw a set of these in the rear of my car as a stop gap, very impressed with the performance of them so far. http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Kenwood-5x7-3-Way-Speakers-KFC-PS5795C.aspx?pid=376659#Recommendations
  8. Remove heatshield and access from the top mate.
  9. Yup. I've use Rocket a bit of late and service has been exceptional.
  10. I miss Mitch Hedburg....god he was funny. http://imgur.com/gallery/wFm90
  11. <p>Westrac Tocchi. Cat filter cutters are same/same but probably slightly cheaper.</p> <p> </p> <p>EDIT: longacre make some cool tools though. Great suspension setup bits.</p>
  12. Time to chew arse and kick bubble gum I'm all out of gum wait wat?
  13. It goes thud.....Thats what you want. Havent used Genuine Dynamat but my busted ears can pick the difference and Wifey has commented on the reduced road noise so it must be doing something. I have covered the boot floor and boot lid and selected interior panels (back of glove box,Shift console, roof console etc gets rid of plastic rattle) and probably have 4 or 5 sheets left from two boxes. I think I'll need a third box to completely cover the front and rear doors. Tocchi uses a "happy tiger" brand from Volatile Car Audio in Malaga and has has similar positive results.
  14. How do you know the stuffed Barney is Gay? did he make a pass at you?
  15. I'd to impressed seeing a car idle after it's been shut down.
  16. Do it for a living Podcast being taken over by a commercial entity who now plan to monetise it.
  17. No but I sense some minor rage building in you hence we'll keep this going in here.
  18. I used to go by colour (when I had a blue car and a green car) Now I have 3 green cars so it's generally by car model and given I have two the same model it's then sub sorted by age of vehicle (ie new rangie vs old rangie)
