Guest Guests Posted 26/09/08 05:09 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 05:09 AM Dean, where or a 2nd hand / new deal? I've never ran a cat in my other cars before so I wont be this time when the time comes. Not many places want to have anything to do with that though.. I can tell you that my old car had the odd yellow sticker (I think was 5 all up) and the pits never said anything about having no cat! So those 10K fines are just internet rumours! Not to mention they'd be waiting a long time to get their money! I wonder if I'd get flames out of a nice 4" dump into 3.5inch exhaust. Flames either side would look very cool!Kieran, I know the clutch will die, but if I can get the fmic / injectors done, it'll keep me happy while I can save for a clutch. My brother had a textralia clutch in his car and said it was great! Not sure and I know AP is the way to go but 4k for a clutch is a lot! I'll have to have a chat to Ross @ Autoclutch and see what he recomends. He's done my other clutches and does them for many of the workshops locally so I guess he would know!Shoulda got an auto :(Just punch it yourself... Easy enough on stands to pull it out from underneath or even easier if you have access to a hoist! Flames will be killer Trade in on an auto, you wont regret it! I sure don't!!Yes show us Mickey's new bulge!!!! :titwave: Congrats on the new purchase Dean. Guess what I need pics and your mod list...... DThanks D. Mod list is:Factory..... ummm..... everything!! Will have tune, injectors, fuel pump, exhaust & modded turbo by next week & possibly a plenum kit if no one buys mine before it goes in Mikey's bulge is impressive!!

Just something to think about.Re the 044... Again, I can only comment on my old GTR. At idle and in heavy traffic you could hear a fair bit of buzz but during normal driving I couldnt notice it... May have had something to do with the jet like induction noise, beefy exhaust note and the sound of an RB26 on song though!What about an intank Walbro as opposed to an 044. Not supposed to buzz as much and are a direct fit? Edited 26/09/08 05:47 AM by Dirty32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 26/09/08 05:54 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 05:54 AM 044's are a waste of time unless you're gonna go surge tank IMO. They're more expensive, harder to fit & do the same job as the Walbro for tame power levels.Just some food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep down I know its the best thing to do, but I want at least the fmic and tune now so its something!I'd love to check out the clutch when its done! Did you go through Rapid?Ok so since I wont be going surge tank, I'll just go the walbro then. That was the original plan but im changing my mind more than a womanDean, I test drove both manual and auto and while the auto felt nice, the car it was in had a few problems and apparently that particular car's box was struggling apparently. "ohh we'll get this fixed for you if you buy it". I wonder what the BF's are being traded for these days? Did u buy your car from lanes in Mandurah? 350rwkw not bad through the standard dump eh...Also since my car wont be driven for a couple of weeks, do I have to leave it on battery charger or should it be ok?If anyone has a set of standard 18's (BFII- ripcurl ones??) with good rubber for sale, let me know. Even the BA XR8 rims look good! I really like the standard 18's.Alternatively if anyone has a set of black Simmons FR18 or 19's I'd also be very keen if the price is right!

Guest Guests Posted 26/09/08 06:05 AM Share Posted 26/09/08 06:05 AM (edited) Na I didn't end up going through Lane's because they stuffed me around. Told me to come in on a Saturday morning for test drives of a few I was interested in (BF Phoon, BF Tornado & FG Turbo) but when I got there gave me the run around & wanted cash deposits, signatures etc. Said I was only there to thrash their cars so why should I get a test drive?? This was after being stuffed round previously by them the week before when everyone was 'too busy' to look after me. Must of been an age thing or because I have bad B.O I'm gonna go for a drive down there over the weekend & give the salesman a wave in the new car Stick with Titan's on Leach Hwy if you decise to do anything. They've always looked after me Edited 26/09/08 06:05 AM by 03XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very lucky that my mate hooked me up with my car (35,990 brand new with premium sound) or else I'd be staying far away.Ford dealers surely have to understand that the XR6T will be the next VLT and as a result, will have a huge amount of young people buying them!

I know exactly where your at re getting a tune before the clutch. I planned to get my ute tuned about 30 times before I finally made the decision to just wait until I have everything and do it all at one and let me tell you Iv waited a long time lol. I just think its a bit pointless to get a tune and have to scale everything back to help the clutch if you need to get a retune as soon as you can afford a clutch. Hopefully once iv had everything done once and properly the first time it will have been worth the wait and putting tunes off to get it all done properly the first time.The Walbro should be fine. Ill be running a Walbro intank on my ute, I know the ute's are a little more forgiving than the sedans for surge but until I turn the wick up/rebuild I probably wont need a Surge tank or an 044.
