It's been YEARS since I was here and well, I'm BACK!

Last time I posted was a couple of years ago, after selling my Toxic XR6T (TOX16) and purchasing a Turbo Territory Ghia, I faded away from the forum. Then we sold the TTG on and I got the Mrs a FJ Cruiser.

Well...

I've finally got my arse back into a ford and this time it's an FPV F6! I figured that since they arent making anymore, and I'm not getting any younger, I'd butter the Mrs up and see if she would let me buy a new toy.

I did previously have a modded XR6T, you have probably seen the videos of it being flogged buy the guy who bought it, it's the toxic one with the turbo that sounds like a blower doing some pretty full on skids. What it taught me is that things should be done right the 1st time. I wasted about 10k replacing things because I wasn't happy with them.

I've decided to do it right the 1st time & play it safe and go with a Process west stage 3 kit, 4 inch turbo back exhaust, surge tank, CAI, injectors, flapper valve & port, and tune from CPV in mackay. I have heard about a 'spark booster' that goes in the kick panel, so will look at one of them too, and probably a ZF tune...

BUT all these will have to wait, as I'm not in any hurry, and am just looking forward to owning my dream car.

Great video that one hahaha.

Reasons for going this over a Miami? Addicted to the wall of torque?
