seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel. Lifetime Members 5,368 Member For: 19y 10m 24d Gender: Male Location: The 8th Dimension Posted 08/11/06 11:52 AM Share Posted 08/11/06 11:52 AM Its Fricken Orsum!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad spelling aside, not a fan of saying a car has a 1000hp and then going on to say that's FWHP and then saying but that's 746FWkW and then converting that down to 596RWkW.Seriously who uses FWHP any way, its just a sneaky way of making a car sound more powerful than it is. Any way kudos to Nizpro and Brian for such a beast of a car Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30081-autospeed-article-about-brians-xr6t8u/#findComment-461662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoon Member 284 Member For: 19y 5m 2d Gender: Male Posted 08/11/06 12:02 PM Share Posted 08/11/06 12:02 PM Theres no doubt you've pushed the boundaries on your beast Brian and I think all 'T' owners that have modified there cars owe you a thankyou because as you've learnt what to do and what not to do at your own expense along the way, everybody else has benefited from it. I tip my hat to you mate.CheersJeff Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30081-autospeed-article-about-brians-xr6t8u/#findComment-461668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nizpro Member 89 Member For: 19y 6m 24d Gender: Male Posted 08/11/06 11:20 PM Share Posted 08/11/06 11:20 PM After driving Brain's car now for about 2500 kms to and from work with it being down tuned to 480 rwkws it just confirms to me that there is absolutely no reason to have more power. Sure anyone could say they wanted more power, but once you pull third gear its not the tyres that are being hazed but the senary, it becomes like star ship enterprise in hyper drive. Brian I’m sure you will agree once you have it for a while, a quick squirt around the block just does not do it justice.
