Should have put this in the Vic spotted thread, alot more vic people would notice it there.. I dont know the FG u speak of, but judging by your comments I want to hear this thing..

350 in a BA is alot.. Maybe upgrade fuel system and go E85 tune, would be safer than shoving more boost in it now for more power. Maybe look into a forged motor, more power will only increase its chances of BANG anyway..

Yep... Didnt hear ya toot, and I did turn down hall rd.. Good set of lights for spotting it seems hehe..

Been there done that.. at least u know what your in for hehe

GO BLUES!!!

All im saying is that Jap wheels IMO dont suit a G6, because of the type of car it is, a luxury 4 door family car, that goes well. On a XR, they would suit the car and can look good. The old man comment relates to the types of buyers that Ford aimed the G6 for.. Obviously its not a blanket rule, as you and Dillz have pointed out. Rapid and Atomic are just nutters iMO lol.. Dillz, the cardigan/ bowls I dont think will ever die haha This has gotten way off topic lol.. PS I'd love a G6T, as im gettin older its more appealing to me, enough with the boy racer look, simple and classy all the way.. As I said earlier, there are heaps of good wheels for G6's mate, just got to see what YOU like..

That looks awesome!! Should have shoved a bit more power thru it though..

Probably cause most of us have gone the crappy cooler/intake route, wasted money on them and have ended up buying the $1500 kit as its all there and proven to work with results.. Whats wrong with the HDI kits, they are a mid range kit arent they? They have had good results..

IMO same engine same class...

Yes Jap wheels are good quality, but that doesnt mean you put them everything.. They are made for a purpose, light weight and strong probably for racing, rather than just to look good on a 'luxury' falcon that's probably never goin to see a drag strip let alone a track.. Sure on a XR, performance based falcon but on a G6/old man who likes to go a bit fast car? Dont think so... IMO argents dont suit FG T's just the F6's (but better on B series) There are heaps of good wheels that would suit a G6, just have to look around and its your car, your the one that had to look at it everyday..

No probs mate happy to help. Ill take your wheels in exchange lol.. If I could offload my 19's id get a set, I love em....

That big red thing Hamster was driving literally through SA was quite amusing..

Got it done at Hendersons suspension in Seaford.. Small shop, was recommended to me by another forum member and could walk there and home they were that close to me. They wont do the rear bushes though..

Well I got front upper and lower bushes put in, along with superpro lowered bump stops and new shocks put in all round. Labor was around the $450 mark.. Got the Bushes off Pat and the shocks from Ebay.. All up the bush kit was around $300 and the bump stops were about $60 but Pm Pat for exact prices.. The tailshaft balance sounds interesting.. How much did you pick up the wheels for?

My cousin has a 450D and loves it.. Hes taken some awesome pics with it, should be able to get it for a decent $$$ now.? A mate of mine uses a 7D and swears by it.. Hes more into the video side of things though..

I just replaced mine with Trident I think they are a few weeks ago, POS wipers, they are already f*cked..

I'd suggest going to a suspension shop and get it looked at. My BA has hit 150 000kms too and the rubber bushes were gone and I was getting bad brake like shuddering sysptoms, replaced them with superpro and the front end is sharp as now. My rear diff bushes are gone aswell, and I notice the car shakes aswell when accelerating lightly from 80km/h. When I have the money ill get them changed aswell and hopefully that fixes the shake. Let me know if you get it sorted. BTW I f*cking love those wheels, looks wicked on your car.

Henz, do u know how he does it? Cause I've heard if they 'notch' the sidewalls and fill it back with paint, the tyres are unroadworthy, but that lasts longer than just painting the strip..

LOL Thanks tray.. worked a treat..

Hahaha I remember that thread.. That was a classic..

I reckon.. What a lovely community we have lol...

On a more serious note.. How do I get rid of it?

Omg... It stars.. I'm accepting car donations by the way.. If you have a spare fg xrt, I'll take it.. Might even be desperate enough to get into a G6.. Would have to borrow the old mans cardi..
