Hi guys just picked up my 08 xr6t ute (colour DS - Dash) on wednesday last week, will keep updated on mods.

I would think you would pick up 40wkw, but why stop there? With an intank pump, 42lb injectors and a cat you could get so much more and save on a second tune

Cheers for that mate, The guy that im buying off does a bulk of the tuning here in SA so he is throwing a tune in with the purchase of the car. The boss says im not aloud to spend anymore cash modding....for now

Getting rid of my 02 Sti on monday and picking up a grey 04 BA XR6T MKII auto with 102XXX k's.I loved the Sti but it's not going to be the best for longer trips and room with a bub on the way. Getting over driving it everyday.Also kind of over it revving at like 3200rpm at 110 on the freeway lol. Pretty keen to start tweaking the XR,few basics anyways.

Hey Guys,

Thought I'd introduce myself — I'm a pom living in Melbourne (though today is the day I can apply for citizenship) and I've been after a good Aussie car for a while. Been driving around in Mazda 3 for a couple of years and wanted something with more power and something that I wouldn't have been able to get when I was back in the UK.

I've been torn between a 6 turbo and an 8 for a while, I've read the T6 is faster and handles better but I've always wanted the V8 noise! Long story short, signed a contract for a FG 6T yesterday, hopefully pick it up Tues/Weds this week.

Was quite amazed by the lack of turbo lag on the test drive, I used to drive a Celica GT-Four ST185 in the UK, not the most powerful car but when the boost was upped it went pretty damned well, especially with full time 4WD. My only reservation with the Ford is that it's the semi-auto — I've always been a manual man and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to put up with that but we'll see, maybe I'll swap it for a manual later on.

Stoked to be getting the car and will no doubt be asking plenty of questions

Cheers,

Lacey

Hi Lacey and welcome to the nut house

The A6 is a perfect partner for this motor for straightline speed, can also drive in manual mode.

I do , and all the polish has come off me knob

the search engine is your friend, more here on T6s than you will find anywhere

enjoy
