Went really well on the drive up and chewed a lot less fuel than I expected. Although it certainly wasn't cheap to fill at $2 a litre.Am looking to get a service up here but don't really want to trust ford with my car. Anyone had any experience with servicing their xr6t in darwin?Also wanted to thank Paul for following up with a call to check on the car, definitely knows how to look after a customer.Cheers Pissant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with a Bosch044 and surge with the walbro feeding it and it's actually quieter with the two pumps. Walbro is a lot quieter with no restriction and a free-flow return to tank line from the pot and the Bosch is rubber mounted.Maybe I just got a dud, lots of people seem happy with theirs.Hey, stop picking on those poor old V8's Edited 15/07/11 08:29 AM by riptide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the next step would be a Bosch 044 and surge tank anyway.Got a few things I plan on getting done by Elite at chrissy time when I'm back in brissy.Those poor old V8's used to leave me for dead!

We will check it out for you the next time your in town mate!!!Give me a bit of a heads up so that I can have your next round of mods ready to go mate!!Sounds like a plan.I'll be getting rid of the 10's on the rear so it shouldn't scrub when the back squats right down.I was thinking surge tank and pump, rocker cover and doing something with the suspension and brakes. Any ideas on if its worth getting a whole new brake and suspension setup or just some new pads and maybe replacing the bushes and changing the springs and shocks?Cheers again,Pissant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
