Rubberman Member 37 Member For: 14y 1m 26d Gender: Male Posted 01/01/12 05:27 AM Share Posted 01/01/12 05:27 AM Hello this is my first post, As I am in the market to purchase a G6ET before I do I would like to be aware of what to look for as common faults if any ?any feed back would be appreciated in my quest to owning one of these beauty's.With fords extended warranty is it really worth any thing ? also is there different levels of warranty, if so do you know what they are ?Is there a particular colour that's faster than the others .... hehehehe.Re the brakes, Im a motorcyclist that annually goes to Phillip Island for track days, I would tow/carry over a tonne of weight are these brakes up to the task or should I could I just fit the Brembos off the F6 ? This question also refers back to warranty.Cheers Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For street duties only!Dealer extended warranty is pooBrakes are a modification and would be looked at as such if any claims arise, you need new wheels to fit brembo'sVelvet is the best colour but I'm biasedHavana I think it is is sh*t hot too, then white or silverBut it's personal tasteIf I was to but another I'd buy my exact combo, but you can't get it anymore...

Rubberman Member 37 Member For: 14y 1m 26d Gender: Male Posted 01/01/12 07:05 AM Author Share Posted 01/01/12 07:05 AM ill asume the 19 inch ford rims are no good to fit over the Brembos, Bugger thought that would be ok. IPOD cable that's it WOW I am impressed. Im in Adelaide looking for a lowish K'd vehicle I agree with your thoughts on black if fact I prefer not to buy a dark coloured vehicle as I travel through out S.A. a lot. I have had at least 6 near miss - head on's on country roads I always now drive with head lights on still people cant see me maybe I should fit flashing lights to it ?Warranty so I just pay for what labour ? is there a limit ie k's travelled by vehicle year of vehicle ?question to you Dillz , I cant access the classifieds is this due to me being new ? I have sent a message to a Moderator but the message bounced back could you assist me with this please.Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford would be the best people to talk to about warranty stuff.IPOD is not the only thing, there is heaps of stuff the could be stuffed. Just didn't want to scare you off lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
