Finally! Then to FPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if it took that long to fit the turbo plumbing and the answer was a resounding no - so why is it still sitting there after 11 days? Too busy. And it is still not due at the dealership (Brisbane) until LATE next week. Transit is max 3 days, so FPV have the car for a long time! Well over two weeks. Geez.Just be warned, don't get your hopes up like I have, it feels terrible when they come crashing down! :(So if my ute makes it to my dealer next Friday, I still won't have it before next weekend.......again!

BTW. Aren't the turbos fitted at Broadmeadows......not FPV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjl Donating Members 65 Member For: 22y 10d Location: ACT Posted 05/03/03 12:23 AM Author Share Posted 05/03/03 12:23 AM I see. I'm only getting leather, side bags, premium sound and sports wheel as the factory options. So that should minimise the amount of time they have to have it.I'll keep my fingers crossed and see how it goes.This is a new answer to the age old question of "How do you keep a fool in suspense?"CJL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, have a look under Richdaves posts in "FPV open day" , in "Ford performance vehicles" section , He took pics of a lot of vehicles in build with SIDO no's on the windscreens.
