I purchased the car in early 2019 trading in my G6ET for this 2009 FG F6 MK1 in Lightning Strike I purchased the car stock besides a Process West Stage 2 intercooler. I knew it needed diff bushes and some of the other usual wear and tear parts on falcons, however I was a little bit too excited about getting my F6 and overlooked a few things. When driving it home I noticed the trans was slipping from 3rd to 4th. So I decided to book it into CMS for a new trans and a PWR heat exchanger as well as a retune to hopefully prevent it happening in the future. The car made 282rwkw basically stock which I was very impressed with for now. I then bought some Michelin Pilot Super Sports all round to hold traction(I didnt have a lot of issues with traction in the first place but with future plans I think this was a good choice) I had noticed the gearbox was slipping when cold and acting up again. However I put it down to it not being topped up with fluid correctly. I put up with this for a little bit to long, being hesitant of where to book the car into. Over the past few years I had heard great things about hoontune, and now Precision Racing so I decided I would save and get my next round of mods from them. So roughly 9 months later I booked it into Precision Racing for a transmission and gearbox service and their stage 2 package which consisted of: - 4" Dump and Cat, twin 2.5" Catback exhaust - Wastegate Mod and upgraded actuator - 1000cc Bosch injectors - Intank walbro 460 Fuel pump - Silver racing spark plugs - 4" Race airbox and battery relocation - GFB Fuel presssure reg - Speedflow Turbo feedline kit BEFORE AFTER The guys at Precision Racing had great customer service and were awesome to deal with. I cant speak highly enough of them. The car feels amazing being my daily driver, I was shocked at the drivability of it. A long term goal for me was to have a 10 second street car so hopefully I will eventually get there. But due to a busy work schedule and my other commitments I think that can wait a little while. As of right now I dont have any big plans for the car, I want to tidy up the bay, get some gauges and possibly a kayhan ICC. For now I think its just a matter of keeping on top of maintenance and finding out what is going to break next.

I've heard good and bad things. Recently I have seen them focusing on bettering their customer support which was terrible, and they have been getting a lot more positive reviews. My brother also has one in his F6 and has had no issues in the few months he has had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly diabolical product with so many issues - horrible! A few months ago they sent me a replacement v3 system. Yes, its still cheap chinese stuff, but now it works - flawlessly in my car so far. Love the functionality, I use a usb modem. Still not sure I would recommend it. On the plus side I learnt a lot about the electrical systems in my car with the original unit lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
