unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 3m 5d Posted 06/10/10 09:19 AM Share Posted 06/10/10 09:19 AM Well first I would like to say gday, been lurking around make the odd comment here or there and thought it was about time I posted something useful or atleast amusing.I ordered my FG Manual XR6 Turbo ute on the 4th of September, delivery is scheduled for the 19th or 20th of October pending dealer PD and transport times.So what do I do while I am waiting for my new ute to arrive? Order some performance bits of course ! Im hoping the parts and the car arrive in the same week or there aboutsOn order is:Stage 1.0 highflow intercooler kit (black powder coated)60lbs Siemens Deka injectors and rail adapter kitx3 with generic tune to suit above modsHigh flow catCant wait till my car arrives to fit all this good stuff, I am reasonably handy with tools and my mate who is a mechanic is coming round as soon as the ute arrives to fit the bits.Soon to follow will be a custom dyno tune pending cash flow of course. This sunday we are fitting a supercharger kit to his father in laws super pursuit ute so should get me in good stead for things to come with my ute.Got to say that Chris from Rapid is great to talk to on the phone and really helpful on email about what bits a pieces should be done while under a certain budget, great work for a site sponsor, thanks again Chris, will be looking into the exhaust we chatted about as soon as the funds allow. Will be great to be back into a turbo rear wheel drive after driving my Grandfathers Asthmatic Nissan Pulsar Q for the last 4 years (Cheap to run but f*ck all fun).

I got an update about 30 mins ago from my mates wife that works at the dealer, promised her and the car controller chick if they can get the car in before the date they originally quote I would give them $100 each or their choice of alcohol, lo and behold my car will be here either tomorrow or monday, so should have it Tuesday next week, its amazing what money does to people. Now just gotta wait for the mods to arrive from Rapid and its game on. I am slightly worried about the clutch, that will be the next thing to be upgraded depending on how it copes.

I've seen a stock fg turbo uts clutch start slipping after 5 minutes of spirited driving. Then again my stock clutch is coping with 300rwkw and numerous runs down the 1/4, but I don't load it up.

unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 3m 5d Posted 07/10/10 08:59 AM Author Share Posted 07/10/10 08:59 AM For sure, as soon as I get it I will be back to post photos and add it to my Garage. I got Winter white, easy to clean and apparently not that easy to get in manual either (I had to wait for it to be built)I will also put up photos of the mods install too, if it helps anyone.
