I get 260rwkw and have worked it hard on the track about 4 times so yes I think I need an oil change. Do you know anyone that will do this for a good price in melbourne Thanks Luk

Hi I would like to do a service on the auto and have asked ford about it twice and they have not done any and say that you dont need to on these. I have tracked the car a few times and I cant understand how anyone can say that the oil can last for that long. I know that its a bmw auto and they get serviced but is it the same type of oil.

Am doing a few trackdays a month would like to know if pagid blues are any good orif you would recommend something else. Just about to fit 6 spot calipers to front.

Where have you been on the track and what were your times. I cant see how I can get rid of understeer at winton without better tyres

Hi all I ahev done a couple of drive days and have been told to get some race spec tyres but I dont know anything about these and looking for advise on what to buy. They would be fitted to rims that I would only use to drive to the track and back, so they need to be road legal.Can you help?

I thimk your right mybe just wait. But it all sounds good what people are doing to there cars

I have herd that ford has put out a warrenty alert on cars that have been chipped. They say they have found ways to check this and if found they will be putting a warrenty alert on the car. Can anyone tell me if they have herd this or if they know if ford can find these mods ?

When I take to fords for a service I change the ecu back to standard so would they see the edit then?

I have a bf and the flash tuner has the original program stored and would be reloaded before going to ford. My question relates to if they look for what is causing the overheating fault will they see anything that can relate to the flash tuner?

I have a flash tuner fitted to my xr6t, If I take it in for a service and they check for faults with my cooling system will they see that I have changed programs with the flash tuner?

The trans is overheating because after twomore laps it comes good for two more laps, then it happens again. I have spoken to several people who do coolers and they dontknow much about the new trans. I want to know if anyone has had similar problems and can you get it fixed without causing a problem with ford.

You sure it’s overheating? Hard to get a ZF hot as it spends 99% of its time in Lockup, so minimal converter action except for a split second during gear change. Usually stall is the only time you would have heat buildup, unless of course the clutch packs are slipping. However I have noticed whilst doing some testing towards getting a good 60ft that the transmission is quite smart and makes a lot of decisions on its own and often locks out modes and gears. This quite often catches you off guard if your not aware of why. The flashing D could mean a few thinks but I have noticed that if I miss a gear in the Auto when in manual mode and bounce off the limiter it spits it at times and goes the “Flashing D” Turn the key off count to 10 and start it and its fine. If you where doing track work did u hit the limiter at all during that time? ← I beg to differ... Drive an auto hard, and it definitely warms up very quickly too. Many guys have found their auto trans overheating during track work. And it doesn't take too many laps either. Diffs too. Oil boiling and pissing out of breather. Not real flash for a so called performance car! Solution is a good sized auxilliary trans cooler, easily fitted in front of the radiator. As to diff oil boil over..... Don't know if its possible to weld some cooling fins onto diff housing to help dissipate heat? If really serious about track work, I guess you could fit a pump and oil cooler for it too... Otherwise drive smoother, keep the radius of the turns as wide as possible (start wide , come in to apex, finish out wide) .... reduce the increased slip inherent with taking sharper turns. I wonder if power sliding (a' la drifting) would mean less differential speed between each rear wheel, therefore reduced heat buildup As you get pulled over for another sideways excursion on the street....... "Honestly Ossiffer... I was only trying to reduce the heat build up in my diff." ←

Hi Im new to this, I have a BF turbo and took it on a track a few months ago. It was alot of fun. After about five laps the trans went into safe mode ( D light on dash just keeps flashing ) Had to drive around slowly for a few laps to let the car cool down, I would then get a couple more laps and the same thing would happen. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Remember the BA does not have the same cooling setup as the BF.
