haha I found it guys. its a weight to help with NVH thanks

anyone have a pic of a gearbox with it on? please? Jamo

Hi all, So I recently purchased an BA II XR6T with the T56 6 speed manual transmission in it. When I bought it there were a few things I wanted to do before cranking the power up. The rear end got some new parts (lower control arms, lower control arm bushes, new centre diff bush, new blade bushes, put in a new balanced tail shaft, new centre hanger bearing). So after doing all that it also needed a new clutch (it had a ceramic button clutch in there and quite frankly they are dogs to drive on the street). I am in the process of changing that clutch as I write this. My question is .. when I bought the car I found these parts in the boot. When I asked the previous owner what they were he said something to do with the gearbox. So ... for the life of me I have no idea where these go. Could someone help me out and let me know what these are (look like a mount plate of some sort) and where they go ... please!! Thanks in advance JAMO

Cheers for that, can get em that price from Repco appreciate it.

And the benefit of the T3's over the T2's?

These aren't covers and they are listed as a Brembo onseller, but anyway, I'm not set on anything to be honest, so how much am I looking at roughly for the T2's and T3's? I am located in Perth, I know Repco sell them.

Ok I have searched and searched but can't find a definitive answer. I have an XR6T BAII, and I am looking to replace the front brake rotors and was curious to know if the brakes differ from the N/A XR or the XT or whatever (without the upgrade pack). What are all the BA brake specs?? I have found a set of Brembo Slotted Discs and pads but they just say BA, BF, FG nothing about XR or XR6T. Sorry, if you can understand my rambling I'd love some clarification Cheers in advance Jamo

hrmm ok, so is that a common thing? where abouts do they split exactly? Jamin

Hey guys, I have had my BA XR6T for a could of weeks now, and I'm reasonably mechanically minded but this is my first turbo car and am not overly familiar with them. I just noticed on the way home from work that I seem to have lost a lot of power on boost. I take off in first and it sounds normal, turbo spooling up and then the waste gate dosing as I back off power to change gears (6 speed manual). But its raining here and I can't even get it to break traction under full boost (or even activate traction control). Certainly doesn't have the punch it used to. Something is happening, you can feel it spooling up and it certainly delivers more power than if the turbo wasn't working, but no where near what it used to. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I'm really down that this has happened just a couple of weeks after getting it. Hoping its not something major :( Cheers, Jamin

ahhhh now I see, yup, def BF

So what exactly is the difference in the ba/bf lights?? I keep looking but can't see it. I was just gonna put them on to get the chrome strip back, chose bf ones cos everyone says they look better :/ noob question, I know

Yeah I will be doing that pretty quick, BF lights, not a fan of black rims actually, or 19's for that matter want a set of the BFII xr8 18" 5 spokes with the charcoal insert bit, Hopefully some one one day will swap with me heres hopin. and he loved black everything, those tail lights have had the chrome strip under them painted black and all the XR6 badges are black ill probably change them back to chrome too with the black turbo under the boot one. either that or take all those badges completely off. Then id like a bobtail spoiler instead, but matching paint colour could be tricky, we'll see how that goes

no the one I'm getting is the T56 6 speed, was just making a comment on a post from Ralph Wiggum.

yeah I'm really hoping so too!! tmrw night I get her!! also I meant to say the T5's DONT enjoy excessive power :|

HAHA the ol' T5's aren't that bad, if you rebuild em right!! But yeah they really enjoy excessive power much that's for sure. Definitely wasn't going for the 4 speed, would have held out for a ZF Box IF I had to go auto, but yea the T56 was always the preferred option ... 24 hours to wait! Jamo

Me either! I can't stand autos, but ... everyone likes different stuff Jamo

Thanks mate, I really do appreciate that, ill surely be out on a cruise in no time. Yeah I didn't even look at autos, just not what I wanted. I love driving a manual. Jamo

Thanks you I appreciate that a lot, some of the other forums just continually berate other peoples decisions. Yeah mate super pro diff bushes were fitted. And I agree the clutch is a dog around town, but ill throw just a HD in there with my EOFY bonus Jamo

I appreciate that guys, I have committed to buying this one, and I dont have plans to modify it to be honest. Ive had my time with pushing cars to their limits and just looking to upgrade from the EL and have a lil fun on the way. I almost bought a XR8 but I don't trust those boss motors, they wear valves and burn out pistons at the age I'm looking at. While Ralphs car looks great, I set my self a limit for what I would spend on a car and that's that. I do have some spare money but it will be for other things at this stage of life. This one also has had the diff bushes replaced when they had the clutch done Jamo

and unfortunately 10k is more than what have to spend really, so I'm trying to find the best I can with the money I have.

Yeah I've already lined up a factory air box, and he has the rear part of the heat shield. There is coolant, I checked, they do that when they sit a while. You guys should see the crap that's out there. I have been looking for ages and trust me they are bad. This guy openly said he not hugely mechanical but I'm glad hes put that aftermarket feed on there being a BA.

Unfortunately I can't stretch the budget to his car, what were peoples thoughts on the one I am getting??

Its hard to beat paint that's 8 months old and an interior that looks like its hardly been sat in, the xr8 buldge makes me happy in the pants and I much prefer the BF bumper. Also a low KM engines that hasn't had any mods is nice too, BUT ... always happy to look

Got any pics of yours, is it as tidy? don't give him the cash till tuesday
