Goose 00-XRG / 006-FPV Donating Members 530 Member For: 22y 6m 5d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane, QLD Posted 15/10/03 08:57 AM Share Posted 15/10/03 08:57 AM One thing you need to remember is that you don't just have one all encompassing warranty on your car. Essentially every nut and bolt has it's own individual warranty.The Australian watchdog people got into this a few years back and the law now stats along these lines"The fitment of aftermarket accessories or performance enhancing products does not in itself void manufacturer's warranty. Owners who choose to enhance their vehicles whilst still under manufacturer's warranty do so at their own risk; but are covered by legislation under the Federal Trade Practices Act. If a modification can be proven to be the singular cause of a failure, only then can a manufacturer legally refuse a claim"Exert from an email APS sent me.But yeah as Turbo6 stated, be prepared for it to all go wrong.Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6836-warranty/#findComment-57471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief Member 166 Member For: 21y 10m 27d Location: Melbourne Posted 16/10/03 02:03 PM Share Posted 16/10/03 02:03 PM welcome bwhinnen I think ford wouldn't wanna replace it, haven't heard of too many manuals grenading yet (heard of one). APS say upgrading the clutch is the option. Apparently they haven't had too many issues and they have been really loading the power (and torque) on!

Hair wrenched from my scalp, massive chest formation forced downwards, some more hair forced to grow on the back in an effort to stay aboard, brain memory malfunction due to increased bloodflow,etc etc. Ah well, that the price we pay.Welcome to this strange but somehow wonderful place...............Yes. there are more like me. You'll meet them soon I'm sure. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/6836-warranty/#findComment-58032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
