Not worth it, has had a fair bit of use that car, boot and seats worn, tow bar never a good sign, has different wheels in photo's, 2006 model may not have 'typhoon' build engine. It would have to be pristine for that money atm.

No, just wait. Repairing paint and panel is expensive. 2c

They are going to go the way of the 80's V8 commodores I reckon, price will stay up a bit now, few bargains here and there, probably will climb 50% in ten years plus. Once the fg's get 'old' they will become hard to find. I got mine pretty cheap about 6 months before the factories closed, before everyone realised it was the end.

There is a few on carsales that are decent, what state are you in? You will have to pay if you want under 100,000km https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/results?sortby=TopDeal&limit=12&q=(And.Service.Carsales._.(C.Make.Ford._.Model.Falcon.)_.Price.range(..10000)._.BodyStyle.Sedan._.CarAll.keyword(xr6+turbo)._.Year.range(2006..2009).) Don't know if I can put link here...

Insurance values have gone up on them recently

Hi, do I need to have the 2nd MAP sensor in the intercooler pipe, some say yes, some say no. Have replaced under battery pipe (no sensor) but am getting some pinging, not sure if its because of no MAP or extra air. Thanks.

it looks like a toilet on my screen...

How much you wanna pay? Remsa original are good and cheap, also everyone is liking the project mu's I've heard and QFM have some new high end pads that look decent I know aaronm likes them, I think.

The traction control in these are pretty good in the holdens it cuts power almost completely so you stay sideways and have no control till it straightens up (which sounds good in theory). Softer rear will get more power to the ground and maybe a little less sideways action. There's a few ways to control it, you can drive through it with no TC it will straighten back up as long as you have it pointed in the right direction. Or you can back off quickly then back on again quickly using TC or not, this way sounds good too with the turbo. There are other ways. Heavy cars these so you don't want to get it wrong to often. Wheel alignment, make sure its 4 wheel alignment and the thrust alignment is checked which is the front to rear alignment. I have heard this is a bit of an issue with these cars, mine was way out when I first had it done. Check there is not to much toe in on the rears, that can cause the car to step out easier, just go neutral toe till you get used to it.

You can just replace the fuel sender, won't need new pump assembly.

Why would you floor it in second with 500rwhp just off the line if you wanted traction? How much camber and toe is on the rear? You want to soften the rear not make it harder. TC only does so much.

6.6 with new filter or thereabouts. Best to be a little bit under than over.

Its about the tuner is it, vct may give you 500rpm after that its back to basics.

You can push any cam to 7000 doesn't mean its making power... Universal cam hey... Less boost with cam and headwork...

The stock cams are just a little small I reckon, something with a 6500 redline would of been nice with good mid range. If you do the cams get the head a mild port as well. Good gains then with a small cam upgrade. Headsense in Brisbane have got good results with this.

Bigger cams really just move power up in the rpm band. You will make some gains but you will sacrifice low to midrange torque depending on the cam size. If you do most of your driving at 4500-6000 RPM big cams would be better. Also, if you want to take advantage of larger cams you will also be looking at high stall convertors etc if auto.

Still got a couple of days in it then...

If you don't want to lower it or if you do, you can get replacement King Spring and Monroe Shocks GT or KYB excel Shocks for good prices these days. Just make sure you get the right part numbers for the height you want.

Yep, going 3.5" not twin yet though. How big is the rest of the exhaust?

Got one now, thanks

You don't really need a 4" dump and 1000hp cooler for 350rwkw. Definitely the cat, have a look in the 300rwkw club page or whatever its called and do some research it will save you a lot of money if you are into that...

Yep, bigger, better, quick where is Jet he will sell you one.... (1st warning adams355)

Yep true, I will keep it over a quarter seems to be fine then.

Yeah I know, I just like to know when its going to do it. It will be on the dyno in a month, see how it goes. Cheers
