I might have to review phase 3 plans already. after reading posts on ECU edit. If it's as good as it sounds, I'll save about $4000 on the motec alone. Man that money will be good to put into some brakes don't you think. Whoooooo neddy :lol:

Yeah, I think brakes would be wise, or you would have shudder that will vibrate your car to pieces. :lol:

Brake shudder WTF :lol: I have'nt had that problem yet and I've just clocked over 10000km. Is this something to look forward too, or should I have it by now. My car is a Dc 2003 build I thought they solved that problem

Judging by your current mods and future plans you drive your car spritely on occasions, so you should have it by now if you were gonna get it. Lucky bugger, mines come back again.

I like to drive the car as it should be driven in the right places and at the right time. And within the law most of the time. Don't use the breaks as hard as some maybe that why I have'nt come across this problem.

But I defintaly be upgrading the brakes at some stage, I would like to take it to the track someday and do some advanced driver coarses.

sounds like a fun plan. I think you have escaped the shudder issue, I never overworked my brakes either, in fact I have never even used the abs on my T before, yet I had it at 5000ks and again even worse at 33000 ks, The bank manager (the wife) says I can upgrade to some slotted DBA rotors and better pads because she hates driving it at the moment and ford are to piss weak to fix the problem for good.

Cant wait to see some dyno figures and 1/4 mile slips when you first phase of mods is completed.

macka'sxr6t,

Interesting plans you have, especially the cold air.

I look forward to catching up with you and some of the other guys in Melbourne in November, and comparing notes and what we have done. I'll have over 400rwkw by then, so you may be interested in my progress also.

You'll have to start your own thread, like Geea, myself and others, including lots of photos to show us your ongoing progress.

Good luck.

Brian

Thank Brian, Will do and would definately be interested in catching up when your in Melbourne.

Could someone explain to me how to start the thread and also how to post pics similar to those posted by geea showing the catch cans in Big Micks thread so that you can all see my intake in all it's glory when its completed.

Bit of a computer nuff nuff :lol:

Thanks macka

cheers

All this horsepower talk is making me hungry(for more hp) :cheeseburger:

macka... hope you achieve what horesepower you are looking for..best of luck!

Brian, Your posts are always good informative reading and I would be interested in your opinion about me trying to feed excess cold air into the engine bay around the motor from the bonnet scoop. The benefit not so much as a performance mod but just to get some cold air around the engine.

what's your thought's
