Thing is though; car was fine before hand. It never use to rev up like that; so it only happened once. Im just wondering what could have caused it to now go from 15 to now 13 after it stalled once. Last time this happened it was because my fuel pumps were shot and fuel pressure was dropping. -

SuperPro Poly. Even has a washer on there to stop the bolt ripping through it again. -

Car is tuned. Thing is I dont have an xcal for it so ill have to have the mechanic have a look at it to scan it. As for the diff bush, I did change diff bushes already. Upgraded them after it split not that long ago so I get the idea of the little thud. Thinking just the gearbox needs replacing idk. -
Hey All; So I've got a 08 F6-310. Running roughly 500rwhp (probably less atm). I've gone through quite a bit of hell fixing this car up. Within the first year of it (bought it 2nd hand fml already modded), I've had turbo go bust, fuel pumps, clutch etc etc. (Car is manual) I love driving the car. It's my daily. When she pulls boost it's amazing. But there are somethings that just are bothering me atm. Now I'm not a mechanic, so was wondering if anyone could help me with possible causes for when I take it into the mechanic so we don't waste too much time. 1. Car was running a tad lean (15-15.3 AFR) in idle, but under boost is fine. Was just lightly boosting down the road/down the hill. Hit the lights. Car starts shaking a little, revs up, then stalls ('ETC Fault' is what came up). Start the car up again, she's now running idle at 14, and just during normal driving it's between 11-13. I have no idea what it could be; apart from O2 sensor? But I recently replaced my old one after it came loose and was in contact with piping and melted. 2. I had a cracked gearbox crossmember. We got a new one and we put in a TUFF Mount for it. It's tightened everything up since there was a bit of knocking going around. I was told the knocking was just the gearbox have a bit of movement from teh cracked crossmember. That being said; there is a strong bit of clunking when the clutch disengages, as though there is movement in the gears. Other issues include sometimes throwing the gears into second is sometimes hard. It won't go in or it grinds a little (usually in lower revs). Also when I do extremely quick gear changes, there is a thud (we thought it was the movement due to the cracked crossmember but it's still there so maybe in the gearbox?) any ideas? 3. If I full rev first gear; my tyres spin. Issue is at somepoint, there is constant thudding at higher revs. Like something is about to snap (Ive already gone through two cv joints). I was told it was because I have a Kazz Diff, but does anyone else have this issue? It kinda is annoying when I can do a burnout in a crappy proton, but if I go to do one in my f6, it sounds like the tyres aren't actually burning out. Any ideas? I really do appreciate any and all feedback! Thank you! George

Need Some Help Deciding. Fpv F6 Or Xr6T

Another reason is because I love the F6's interior and the body kit etc. To me it feels better and doesn't remind me so much of a taxi haha (no offense) -

These are his mods that he's done in the past two years so I'm kinda happy. If he's had it for only two it limits the time he could have thrashed it tbh. - 20' staggered wheels with Pirelli P Zero rubber, plenty of tread - Lowered on King Springs - Rapid Intercooler - 3.5' X-Force exhaust from turbo back - Herrod cold air intake - 80lb Siemens injectors - SCT 3 tune box -

Going in today to have a look at that Modded F6 for $32,900. Anything I should be incredibly wary about guys and girls or to look at/pay attention to the car? Also Jet told me to stay the f*ck away from his raped F6 hahaha -

Didn't see the mods cause it was posted as a mobile link. I'll see what I can do. $33k is still a fair amount out of my budget and I don't think he'd be willing to drop considering how much he's put into it. It's a hard choice. I really do love the way the F6 looks tbh. I'll keep it in mind though! Thanks mate. Also, any way I can post more cause Im limited to one more post after this one haha. EDIT: Also, trying to convince my nan to buy a modified car is hard enough at the moment as it is, haha. -

Seeing it on Sunday to have a look and a bit of a drive. Hopefully it's the photo's but it does look quite a bit worn down. Just wondering if theres anything that I should pay attention to when looking under the hood? -

The only reason I would even spend close to that much money on a car is if I'm getting an F6. Found plenty of Xr6's for $10k less with maybe 20,000k KM ontop. -

I dont know if that means It's a good thing since an enthusiast had it or if it was a bad thing and got thrashed around a lot.. -
