I am guessing there is some metal damage behind the bumper, radiator mounts busted light mounts etc????? All very much cosmetic luckily. I smacked one once in a work car near Bowen. They fixed it but didnt pick up that the bearing case on the power steer pump was cracked. The pulley spooled off the shaft, dropped the belt and cooked the engine, went into limp home mode thought so damage was minimal. It did it at 5,400 revs to so the belt was wrapped around everything.

Can you contact the owner and claim on his insurance? I hit a sheep with the RS2000 and the farmer's insurance company paid 'cos the sheep shouldn't have been out on the highway. Maybe you could sue National Parks and Wildlife for not keeping their stock properly enclosed??? Or didn't I see some time back that the indiginous tribes were claiming ownership of the kangaroo and asking for it to be removed from our national coat of arms? Along with the emu as well. So maybe you can sue ATSIC ? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9287-what-a-roo-does-to-a-turbo/page/4/#findComment-95482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRBloke Donating Members 1,219 Member For: 21y 10m 16d Posted 23/02/04 12:51 PM Share Posted 23/02/04 12:51 PM Dont bother with a shuroo - the best place to get a bullbar/nudge bar for the BA falcon is www.ecb.com.auThey have a decent range that look pretty attractive. Be careful with your decision, try and stay away from low cut bars that are low, otherwise if you ever hit another one you might find him up on the bonnet rolling towards you. If your really going to be doing some hard core night driving I would get a full bullbar - yeh they look ugly but you can always take them off.

ECB are a distant third with some poor welding. ECB and TJM are line ball on price and Bocar a little more expensive.Unless ECB have lifted their game in the last few months I wouldn't choose one of their bars.
