Haha Steve I can personally vouch for his XF. It is certainly the neatest XF I have seen!

Wow! Congrats Steve! Lisa is a lovely girl - you sure are a lucky man! All the very best mate!!!! Cheers, Ross

Yeah mate actually I do and they play fine.

Causing your windows to go down? You must have a very early build BA. There was a fault with the early BEMs that resulted in the drivers window going down when the car was unlocked.

that's interesting Ben, I put $20 in (just to check) and I thought the car ran very very well! No sign of pinging... put it under load from low revs in fourth and went up from there.... quiet as a mouse. I filled up at the servo Wanneroo Road (the one near Main St). Where did you fill up?

Hello... now I have always wondered this... perhaps you could explain this to me if I am incorrect.... The stability control uses the functions of the ABS modulator to apply individual brake pressure to each wheel and also uses the function of TCS to reduce power to the driving wheels if need be. Now, I can see how the DSC would not be affected in a EDITed if you were off the throttle and had to do a rapid steering maneouvre as only the individual braking would come into effect... but what if you went in too fast into a relatively sharp sweeper (individual braking part now active) and then also applied more throttle to power out? (TCS part active) EDIT** In reading the above sentence it would seem that the TCS and DSC operate independent of one another... in which case, yes, the DSC would not be affected... LOL, lets just discuss the TCS then... Now if I understand this correctly (and I could be wrong) there must be a table somewhere for the traction control part of ABS/TCS system which states something like how much timing to retard given the enigne rpm when wheelspin is detected. I'm also certain that this table was designed around the stock engine output. E.g. if wheelspin detected @ 2500prm, take out 25degrees of timing - which may work fine for a stock motor, but with a big HP engine, -25 degrees may not make much difference and is not enough to curb the wheelspin. (I do know that the rear brakes are also used, but only at speeds < 40km/h so as to not generate excessive brake temperatures). I'm not sure about the BF's, but my EDITed BA has the "P2106 ETC Forced Shutdown" 'fix' and yes, the TCS doenst shut itself off anymore, but neither does it do anything useful to control wheelspin! I remember reading a thread somewhere that you said you had the TCS fully fixed, even on HUGE Hp cars - Brian's car (BCL) was the case in point.... Now I know you don't want to divulge trade secrets, but if the EDIT S/W doesn't have access to this area of the PCM, then how can you actually fix the TCS? (does the edit have access to this part of the PCM??) Cheers, Ross

I am 100% with XRT330. My car was doing this only 2 months back. I didn't think it was the battery on it's way out as the car didn't have any trouble turning over . My battery was in the car from new in June 2004. Cheers, Ross

Saw Ninka on Great Eastern Highway today... I was turning onto Graham Farmer Freeway north, and he was going straight... Cheers, Ross

Thanks for that

Are you sure the doors go all the way to rear wheel arches? Have a look at http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/upl...vice_1_1280.jpg and zoom in. It's difficlut to be 100% sure....

Sure did.. I reckon those mags look HARD too!!

Hey Fordtech, my car is a BA Mk I with Premium brakes. I called up Ford and gave them my rego number which they looked up on their computer... They said my car needs the brake hose upgrade. I thought I may need the hose upgrade as the BA Premium brake package still uses standard rear calipers, but just with the grooved rotors. Do the premium brakes have different rear hoses? I compared mine to a friends BA standard brakes and the hoses look identical? Cheers, Ross

That was interesting!!

Agreed. It's been gone for ages.

Bailey Automatics in Balcatta do the warranty work for Centre Ford. The guys there know about modding the rear of the diff case, etc etc. Cheers, Ross

Ahh cool! So tell me... what happened with the crappadore in front of you when the lights went green?? He was some little punk with his hat on backwards haha. I tried to stay and watch, but there were cars behind me lol! Cheers, Ross

It could also be leaking from the drain plug which is on the passenger side end tank of the radiator. Cheers, Ross

Spotted a White BA Typhoon at the intersection of Whitfords Ave and Trappers Dve today at the red light. I was turning right, he was going straight. I don't know if it's anyones from here, but it sure as heck had a nice sounding exhaust on it which I heard when he took off.

In my opinion, I thought she did a poor job of playing the mouth organ!! She would be slack in bed

Spotted two fully marked Police XR6Ts in Northbridge around lunchtime today. I thought the only XR6T's they had were the undercover ones? Guess not!

Haha funny that! I was there on Saturday! Food is certainly good! I just wish some of the holes were a teensy bit harder....

Blueprint T sedan with altezza lights getting onto the freeway this morning with me... 1BHKxxx

I have PERSONALLY driven an Aurion for around 50kms, and there is no way on God's green earth that the Aurion will stick with an XR6T that is in normal health. (It sounds like yours may be a bit sick - a quick run up on a dyno will sort that out for you) The ONLY place I can see him getting you is off the line during the 1st 60ft or so while your car would be totally off boost. The Aurion is snappy during first as it is very shortly geared, but after that, the pull drops right off... and that's right about where your XR6T should be starting to haul!! At overtaking speeds, your T should leave him for dust!! I found the Aurion to feel on par with a naturally aspirated Barra 190 during overtaking.

Haha fatz, I know what you mean man!!! Airwave - a classic and killer tune!! Some tracks get you FREAKEN HYPED behind the wheel.... After many years of practice though, I have got it under control
