Around town it could be a bit of a head copulation.Unless you pull up next to one of those new HSV Clubsport R8's . (13.6 400 m ET)Hmmmm, maybe it might be worth it in that case. Whadaya think?Personally, I'm waiting to click up a few more kms, and then re-assessing what's on the market .... That Nizpro kit looks awesome and performs well, but I like the stealth of the APS Ph II.... Hmmmm, I'll just wait a little longer....cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6562-queensland-summer/page/3/#findComment-61711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 02/11/03 09:13 PM Share Posted 02/11/03 09:13 PM I still cant work out why those gumbys at ford didnt put any holes in the bonnet? Instead they put a layer of carpet to stop the paint from burning!Wouldnt bonnet scoops have been better,fresh air in when driving, hot air out when parked?vik Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6562-queensland-summer/page/3/#findComment-61836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last 2 falcons did but not this one.Bonnet vents would have been nice.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6562-queensland-summer/page/3/#findComment-61887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 04/11/03 12:02 AM Share Posted 04/11/03 12:02 AM ktford,are you sure about that? I wanted to take mine off but thought the paint would bubble from the heat. Go and have a look and if you havent,check out the bonnets paint and let us know mate,thanks vik.

Maybe the bonnets that dynosteve & others are running will give you some indication wether or not you can remove it.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6562-queensland-summer/page/3/#findComment-62250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
