Eg flashing, flash and exhaust etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71919-most-kms-before-starting-mods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way might be good to start modding after 10,000ks or first service.

Brods Member 433 Member For: 14y 8m 15d Gender: Male Posted 30/11/10 11:43 PM Share Posted 30/11/10 11:43 PM As long as the car has a good service history you should be fine. If it was me I'd be hesitant to start nodding a car with 100,000+ km's.

Produced 218rwkw stock and 265rwkw with the tune and nothing else - guess the engine is well and truly run in and freed up...

spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 14y 4m 29d Posted 01/12/10 12:57 PM Share Posted 01/12/10 12:57 PM Mate the km's are only an indication. Cab motors are the best even though they have done thousands of km's, it's the way that they heat cycle which is ideal and hence why they seldomly blow an engine. So depends on how the vehicle has done its' km's.
