CCofOZ Member 40 Member For: 21y 11m 16d Location: Canberra Posted 01/05/03 06:13 AM Share Posted 01/05/03 06:13 AM Can someone enlighten me as to the steps in production for a turbo with approximate timings . Read in Motor magazine that Ford has upped its production to 450 cars a day across the full range of cars .

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 1m 2d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 01/05/03 12:04 PM Share Posted 01/05/03 12:04 PM Muzzzza, why so long at the dealers Mine was at dealers for about 3 days :oWas talking to Sales Manager at my dealers today and he reckons they are out to September, October for delivery on orders taken now, across the whole range. Good for Ford, bad for the owner. All I can say is if you knew how good this car gets the wait would be murder :o Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/2364-production/#findComment-20408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, they do the "plumbing" for the Turbo.I.e the intercooler.Also if you get a factory fit sunroof, they do that too.

Mike1 Member 48 Member For: 22y 24d Location: Perth Posted 02/05/03 12:01 AM Share Posted 02/05/03 12:01 AM One of the Ford guys at the Perth Auto Expo I spoke to said production of XR's had recently increased from 30 per day to 50 per day in an effort to go some way to meeting demand.While the wait for your car seems endless the plus is resale values should hold up well given the supply/demand situation.
