  1. That's better
  2. Lol I guess your version of sounds like sh*t is different than mine when no oil is involved. Good luck with it
  3. Ha you mean bald right?!
  4. Whether other parts need replacing has fark all to do with it having no oil in it. If it has gone from fine to farked and then still runs like crap after the oil was refilled then that points to engine damage. There really isn't a lot anyone can do from the forum as the car needs checking. I've heard Pit Lane recommended plenty of times here although I haven't used them myself. https://g.co/kgs/BgqYTc
  5. What area are you bud? Until you get someone to start testing it don't start or drive it any more. It sounds like some serious damage has already been done but if it starts then it can always get worse.
  6. They are cheap enough to do as a maintenance item and may be listed as such for some vehicles but for how long they last ie: 15+ years depending on conditions it's probably only worth fixing them when they're farked. With regular brake fluid flushes they should last a very long time. Edit: At least the new calipers match the car plus red gives 25 rwkw out the box!
  7. Might be time to see the gp (again?) and get it sorted out. Not being able to sleep sucks.
  8. Why are you staying up so late?
  9. Ha don't need em mate, I strip for her every night
  10. That reminds me, I need to get the missus some slippers for mothers day.
  11. Haha all good, I worked that out lol. That's what happens when ya don't read the thread
  12. Dunno why you would. I checked the thread to see where he was talking about buying a turbo for himself or how much power could be made or how much he wanted and none of that was there so...
  13. My approach to vehicles. Black would be my second pick.
  14. Silver/no paint would be my pick.
  15. Fark that in the arse for a joke. Here's an ebay result for rebuilt calipers. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-BA-BF-FG-XR6-Turbo-Brake-Calipers-Front-And-Rear-/142378637512?hash=item21266d98c8:g:8BAAAOSwzqFY-GF-
  16. That is a good idea. Do that first unless you are planning on rebuilding them yourself.
  17. First post in the thread. Be that as it may you don't need to spend that much to get a gen2 gtx installed in an xr6t.
  18. If you are paying $3600 to fit a gen2 gtx to a xr6 I have a bridge to sell you.
  19. Yeah it's always something aye?
  20. What you could do to make life easy is get 4 plastic line clamps, remove all 4 calipers and then take the actual calipers into a shop and get them to fix them all up. Hardly any mess or work involved that way. It's not that hard to do yourself but having the right tools and space is a must for any job. End of the day you choose as you know your abilities and how much work you want to do on it.
  21. Having done hundreds of caliper kits I can confirm using compressed air to pop out the pistons. Reverse pliers can help in some cases. You could pump them out but you'll make a mess, waste brake fluid and get air in the lines. You would ordinarily clamp the lines before removing the caliper to prevent this. You want to buy a couple of caliper kits for your brakes and replace all of the seals etc. You will need to clean the dirt and buildup from the piston and caliper prior to fitting or they will still stick. If the front is sh*t then the back won't be much better and vice versa. Do them all at once as it is cheap enough.
  22. Coles online mate, let the renovating come to you.
  23. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/renovate It's renovating according to
