I though this forum thing was all about helping people and not making someone rich (sponsor).

That is crap.

Since I am the only sponsor mentioned in this discussion I assume you are directing that statement at Mal Wood Auto. I can assure you that I am NOT getting RICH from the Forums, I have worked at freely giving advice and information and better deals to the forum members. If someone wants to suggest another supplier with a better product feel free. Just show me anyone that can offer the range that we can. Mal Wood

Sorry I was not directing that at you only but at the fact that the thread was removed as it had another clutch option mentioned.

If everything got removed then what would we learn about products on the market.

I have followed a few of your post and you do truely give a lot of free advice and the products you have shown us have been truely of quality.

I suppose it comes down to the fact that everyone on here wants to go fast and the fact that it is very easy to get power from the turbo it cost heaps in making everything work together.

In my case pushing close to 300rwkw, car has a excede clutch in it (unknown type as was in it when purchased car).

Now after having a exhaust fitted it has given hints of slippage, so I dare say I will be up for a new clutch which is going to cost me a min of $1000 then there is the T5 which is starting to wine this box had suppose to have had HD drive shafts fitted and new cluster and syncro's only about 6mths ago 3mths before I purchased car.

So looks like I will have to purchase a new stronger box that is going to cost me a min $5000.

Then on top of that my conrods and pistons which are going to cost me min $3000.

Now my old xD 351c I built in the 90's had better performance and the whole car owed me $5000.

The clutch I used in that was a yella terra flywheel $400 and a Centerforce street strip 11" clutch that cost me about $600 off memory.

This cluch was able to turn the tyre's changining into top at 170 kph.

Mine you car was lighter then the now BA.

So I will be probably settling for around 350rwkw and will require a clutch that is going to hold that power.

So what will that set me back with a gearbox as well that can handle it.

I know the crummydore T56 is not quite as good a box as the Ford T56 but I have been told I can have a brand new one for $3000 and that is $6000 cheaper than Ford and half as cheap as your T56.

This is what annoys me as it seems because there is this market for these turbo Falcons people take advantage of it.

Is there really any reason the Ford version should be that much more than the GMH version.

The Gearbox shop that quoted me that may have my bussiness depending on how much stuffing around I will have in fitting it.

He says he has already done a few for customers.

there are MAJOR differences between the ford t56 and the Expensive Daewoo t56..

they were all told to me by knowledgable members but I forget what they are :stirthepot:

just keep an eye out for a 2nd hand t56, they do pop up, and I *think* t5 clutches will fit, the oem one does anyway.

There are plenty of vehicles that will kick the XR6T for far less money, a Gixxer thou for starters. Yes they are relatively easy and cheap to get good power out of. Yes you have acknowledged and are indeed very correct when you say the expense is in making the vehicle a complete package.

People like Mal Wood may not be the cheapest, but thety supply an extremley good product for a very reasonable price. Testamant to that is the high HP guys driving from all over the country to have work done by Mal Woods.

Add to that I say support the guys that support the forum.

I understand your frustration, but cannot condone your negative comments towards the sponsors.
