Want 20's... no worries. want a big V8 .. there ya go. Want a sunroof .. hey give me an axe. Fraud on the other hand. This is it. That's all you get and don't you dare touch it.So true and there lies the dilemma... I've been a Fraud fan from since I was a toddler and now have to consider jumping to the dark side for my next purchase.I got to hand it to Expensive Daewoo they do look after their customers. I can't remember hearing a story where a Expensive Daewoo guy was rejected warranty?? Any out there?A mate of mine bought a second hand VY Clubsport with 12 months warranty he lowered it, fitted exhaust + headers, tuned and thrashed the living daylights out of it...He broke the diff, tailshaft, gearbox and engine (at different times) over a period of 6 months and the fourth time the dealer said, sorry mate, fair is fair but this has to be the last time we carry out warranty repairs on the drivetrain on this car.How many Fraud dealers have ever been that lenient?Back on topic ... I cannot see that Fraud will provide any leniency if you modify a SC V8 !!

I cannot see that Fraud will provide any leniency if you modify a SC V8 !!tell me why ford should have too ? if your gunna put more power through a drivetrain that was not made for it and it lets go why should ford be stuck with the bill .. theres alot of DIY mechanics and HERO tuners out there, why should ford pay if your tune ran lean and lunched its left or u lowerd it wrong or sumthing in ya drive way DIY style and it chopped out a tail shaft .. YES ford can be a pain when getting warranty on stuff when ya cars still stock .. but im on there side about a modded car with tons more power.

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/02/11 12:18 AM Share Posted 26/02/11 12:18 AM OK ENOUGH !!!This thread is about the FPV GS, not ford warranty or XR8 or SS.Stick to the topic or the thread will be locked.Oh and on a final note GMH/Expensive Daewoo are borderline bankrupt, Ford are going great. I wold rather have less "options" and fraudlent warranty claims and keep Ford than compare the likes of a failing company who whore out their cars to the lowest bidder.Now STFU and stay ON TOPIC Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71429-fpv-gs-not-so-cheap/page/11/#findComment-1084416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee's GS with an x-force zorst and tune make back to back 500s. Yep, 500+hp with a basic tune and zorst. I think the second run was actually 518. Yes poverty, low rent, sh*t brakes and all of that but it just smacked out 500hp at the treads - nuff said!
