Haltech have confirmed the PnP will not "tune" the TCM for the ZF6. so I guess you would still need to flash tune the TCM, is there a way to do that without having to buy an SCT etc? like have someone go in and flash it but without having to purchase a hand controller?

Hi fellow boosted ford folk. So I have noticed factory boot lip on my G6ET is lifting at the far edges, to the point now I think it might rip off on my next highway trip. I was wondering if anyone has had this and how they rectified it? my main questions are as such; what is the best way to remove it so I can re attached. I was thinking some fishing line back and forward between the tape and the boot? but I'm sure there might be a better way. Is it held on by any screws? or is it the double sided looking tape/silicon stuff I can see under there it? What is the material that is holding it down? it looks like either double sided tape or even a silicon type adhesive, I want to be sure I buy the correct stuff to re-attach. Is there some sort of better material to hold it down to stop it lifting again? anyone had success with a particular product? any help would be very appreciated, thanks in advance Ben

Too right, I'm surprised the garden gnome has lasted this long. thought he would of shattered into a million pieces by now...lol

I personally doubt Lorenzo will make the Honda fast, his riding style is smooth wide lines and high corner speed, very different to the Honda and also the Ducati he is leaving. IMO he suits the Yamaha and that's where I honestly think his only chance of another world title is. He has had two years at Ducati to develop it to what suits him but he has pretty much failed miserably with the exception of his win last week. Also I think the Honda is dog this year, MM is only competitive on it this year because he is a freak. You just have to look at Pedrosa and the other satellite Honda performances, there are all under-performing, being a massive Honda fan it is painful to see. From what I have head/not heard it doesn't look like there have been any great developments for the 2019 Honda either. TL/DR......Lorenzo can eat a d1ck, and Miller should of got the Ducati seat.

I think the new car he brought was a NA and he was aware of this, looks like he said he brought a BF II XR6 07 no mention of it being turbo. considering he crashed his turbo before he has potentially made a sensible but boring move back to NA

you wheel and tyre combo gives me a raging hard on, no *beep*! just sayin'

if that's the case profile autosports are right near you I think they are in Cleveland. I haven't done an oil change myself yet, but I have changed the sway bars and changed the front and rear brake rotors and pads myself. pretty straight forward. being a newish car its always easier, no rusted or stripped bolts typically like old cars. I have also done the Nizpro intercooler and intake myself was a bit time consuming but nothing difficult. I have seen the oil filter location doesn't look to difficult to be honest.

yeah the only negative information I could find was from posts 2015 and before, I believe they changed tuners around 2015. the new people are much much better. from what I can see they have some of the fastest cars with the smaller stock FG turbo. plus their google reviews and FB reviews are all 5 starts which seems to be ok. I am still deciding weather to go to profile or RDP. RDP is much closer for me. RDP have a good price for supply and fitment for a remote ZF trans cooler with a temp controlled fan, which I have heard good things about.

Interesting!?! what have your heard? I haven't seen or heard anything negative? Mine is a 09, about 150k on the clock. I will be looking at servicing and flushing the ZF at the same time too.

Hi mate welcome to the site. for general services on my G6ET I only use Northgate automotive, only mechanics I have ever found I can trust, never do extra work that is unnecessary and are very transparent and honest, they will always contact me first is something unexpected comes up that will cost any more money to talk through the options first. They a repco service franchise as well so there pricing is very competitive. Also only ever use penrite oils. Troy and the boys there are great. As for performance workshops for tunes and mods I have heard good things about Real dyno Performance and also Clint at profile Autosports. I am hoping to take my car to real dyno soon and get my ID1000's, 4" Xforce dump and Cat installed to go with my Nizpro cooler and KPM Intake I have already installed, and get them to tune it all on 98 and e85

I guess maybe im different, put it this way I would never sell my car to a family member each to their own I guess, she asked for advice I gave mine. and also a G6ET I think often have different owners to XR6T's

To be honest I think the extra money you would pay buying stock and upgrading yourself is well worth it. because if its been modified odds are its been flogged, and also if you mod yourself you know exactly what parts have gone in it and who has tuned it. Plus I see heaps of people selling there modified G6ET's for higher than the stock value, which I personally would stay away from.

There a lot of people on here with cars with 300+RWKW and 100,000Km and more. as long as they are maintained and tuned by a reputable tuner they will be fine, especially with an FG. I have a G6ET with a set of ID1000's, KPM intake, 4" dump and HF Cat, and Nizpro Big Big IC Kit (Injectors and dump yet to be installed). With a tune it should be good for 300+RWKW on 98, and I have approx 150k on the clock. One thing I would recommend is to get a standalone trans cooler to avoid the ZF Milkshake, especially with the higher Ks and raising the power up. I also would suggest to do a full trans flush and new fluids at the same time just to be safe.

A Focus RS, ST, or XR5 Turbo are really nice and fast

Get a nice G6E turbo for 25k then you have 10k to play with mods. Me personally I wouldn't pay the extra money just for a badge and a slightly bigger turbo. plus I like the classier look of the G6ET's just my 2c

I have the DBA t3 4000 rotors and the Project Mu HC800 pads on my G6ET, braking performance is great and I am super happy with it, however brake dust on the HC800s is quite bad, I have head the PMu NS400 pad have way less dust but don't quite perform as well. if I clean my car and wheels on the weekend by the next weekend the wheels are visually covered with dust. I think I will try the NS400 next time, but I wouldnt use another other brand than the Project Mu stuff have always used there pads. and as for the rotors the DBA T3 4000 cant be beaten for value.

Arrived yesterday!!

straight over my head, before my time, even going through the search I don't get the context but all good haha

u wot m9-1? hahah na just excited, I have been wanting silver on black slimline plates for a while and just found out today from a work mate they were pre releasing new plates and Barra was available so jumped on it. so amped! still heaps of cool combos left.

what were your old rims? brand, size, etc? they were really nice too. the new ones are fat as

oh yep been answered I have an open diff in mine and it spins both when I rip skids leaving McDonald car parks. They way you tested from my understanding is the best way to tell without opening it up.

Hi mate, is the SCT x4 still up for sale?

is in an auto zf6? could be the gear box fluid coming up to temp. I kinda get the same thing sometimes and just assumed its that. I always notice it doing weird sh*t in the morning when its cold. lol

of maybe get a ZF6
