  1. Yes, these cars are the best! As for the colour, I'll confess I like the HgAg, but for some reason it just doesn't suit the ute me thinks.....and that's what I got!
  2. I think KEN 24T will be quiet today!!! He'll be to busy signing up to the forum under different names so he can vote for his beloved Team HgAg to sway the poll.
  3. Blueprint's equal leader now I've voted.........GO BLUEPRINT GO!!!

    Calder Drags?

    You are joking aren't you? Peter has provided a heap of technical information for members on this site, just look back through all the topics, Peter has made many valuable contributions. I can't comment on your question but I know it's been said before that the auto reinforcing will be revealed when the testing and pricing has been concluded. As for the self promotion, APS is more than entitled to do so, after all APS is a sponsor of this site and consequently pay the sponsorship fees. Unlike other tuning companys. And no I don't have any APS products, but I'm greatful that Peter can share his expertise with us, whether we buy APS or not.
  5. Well this topic has been in hibernation for long enough. I currently manage a retail outlet in VIC specialising in supplying and servicing: fishing tackle & accessories camping accessories boating and marine accessories Savage boats Sejay boats Mercury outboards Mariner outboards Husqvarna power equipment Honda power equipment MTD power equipment GME electrophone products golf course machinery bowling green machinery and more, that I won't go into. Anybody that has any questions just PM me and I'll do my best to help whether it advice, parts or a good deal.

    New T Owner

    dave_zx9r Glad to see you couldn't have been happier with your XR6T mate. And love the colour!
  7. This is true! I was recently told of a guy who blew a diff and stuffed an input shaft or something like that, and a guy from FOMOCO, not a dealer denied the warranty claim...why....he had removed the centre muffler! HOW HARSH IS THAT!!! It's not even a big performance enhancing mod or related to the parts in question.
  8. Good to see you're remaining optimistic!........Good Luck staying that way!
  9. 100% that ute looks awesome! I can't wait to see it in action at Heathcote this Saturday! I noticed on FordForum you haven't mentioned your APS Phase 2 kit. STEALTH BOMBER very, very nice!
  10. I fear that the current GT/GT-P will suffer badly for resale in a few years, due to the continuing development of these vehicles. The FPV vehicles are brand new, there development has only just started and I think that they will go forward in leaps and bounds in the next few years, take the HSV's for example it wasn't that long ago that the clubbie had 225kw, now she's packin 285. Or take the T series cars you buy one with the 220kw engine only to find the same engine dropped into the XR8 at the next series upgrade. And the horsepower war has never been hotter, it's going to keep getting hotter. Just my 2 cents.
  11. Question.....Could a convertible monaro, really be called a monaro? Sure it might be built off the same platform as the monaro coupe, but a convertible not's what the monaro is all about........is it? Just my 2 cents.
  12. I would have thought that the Ford guys would have enough smarts to build an engine with plenty of potential in it without bolt on mods considering it's only a new engine in development terms.
  13. Guys as FORDTECH stated it only takes a 16-20km before the car starts adjusting values. It's not really that long before things start to change. And like he said the PCM is making subtle changes to these values so chances are you won't even notice it.

    Heathcote Drags

    I thought so, MISSXR changed it to XXXXX I guess when she moved the topic from Cruises and Event. No harm done.
  15. Is that for real? Chris you certainly will stand out in the crowd!!! Not sure about the bonnet or the rear wing from what I can see of it. Reminds me of the HSV GTS Monaro in the same, sorry similar colour.
  16. OH MY GOD!!!! Who did that??? That cat reminds me of a girl I saw at the new years celebrations at Southbank, big furry boots an not much else. Not sure if her little pu$$y was furry though.....sorry!!

    I see from the post on the other forum that 100% and charliewool are going. Looking forward to meeting 100% so I can shake the hand of the man who so generously donated $1000 for the server upgrade, once again outstanding mate.

    Calder Drags?

    I think everyone just wondering why he won't show the proof in the form of the time slip. I don't see what the problem is in being asked to prove your claims. Why not just post the slip? What's the big deal?

    Heathcote Drags

    I noticed that fordforums.com has organised a drag meeting this Saturday at Heathcote Raceway. Is anyone from here going? One other member from here mentioned taking the WDS machine to the day so it may be interesting. http://www.fordforums.com/showthread.php?t=55110
  21. How much oil do you put in your T's? The owners manual says 7 litres, but now when I check the oil when the engines cold it's over full. Now I'm worried because I read recently that over filling the oil can cause damage in some engines. I thought that maybe once the engine is started the excess oil is taken up by the filter and the oil lines for the turbo?
  22. They look very similar but I don't think it's a Territory the shape isn't quite the same the windscreen looks to sloped back and the bum seems a bit rounder. But I don't think there's any question that the designs of the Freestylehas been designed with the Territory in mind or visa versa. Good find
  23. For some reason I always see a lot of XR's and FPV's around Campbellfield........I can't figure out why :lol:
  24. From what I've heard Ford will be following the same lines as Expensive Daewoo is and releasing new "hero" colours more frequently. I think the times of colours having a long run might be coming to an end. I doubt that because a colour is dropped it will make the cars resale any higher, the BA isn't a rare car in any colour.
