  5. Hey all, I finally bit the bullet and took it in to find out what the issue was, it turned out the old standard back half of the muffler was blocked, tuner took it off and went from 200rwkw to 310wrkw. Ended up throwing on a few upgrades and picked it up with 320rwkw on 15psi.
  6. Look for Ford headliner replacement. Lots of guys can do it, there are mobile ones that will come to you. Cost is circa $400
  7. Yes, I too would like to know what the solution, Can someone please let us know if Ascendancy254 solved the problem !

    OL-fault ..help

    Hi, Jas98, did this issue get sorted in the end ? can we please post the solution for us , Thanks heaps
  9. Thanks mate! Yep, you never know. Just wish I had the space for more cars!
  10. All the best with it mate! I anticipate you'll come back to an FG one day...
  11. Last week
  12. Also mine worked slightly loose, but it was just the bolts. Check those (might have to remove the inner splash guard behind the front wheel to access the nuts)
  13. Thanks will take that in consideration. Probably a good idea.
  14. yeah, I'm not saying it's likely to happen, but it might, so budget for it then you won't be (as) disappointed if it happens.
  15. You really think this is likely to occur? I have seen quite a few people reach more then that on the stock engine for BA and last quite a while.
  16. how do you know it has swayed? on the dyno? I think it would be easier to just brace the tray you've got than make another one completely...
  17. Also, you should think about engine failure budget for that happening at 300rwkw+
  18. morning all, happy Monday 🪔
  19. Yea I was told about the limitations of the BA motor. Which is why im limiting myself to pushing to 300kw at this stage. I would look at strengthen the motor eventually if I wanted to push for more. Appreciate everyone's suggestions, il talk with the shop more about whether I really need the BTR built as its quite a chunk of the total cost and if its really not that needed and be ok with just an external cooler. Il pop in a guage as well to monitor the temps to hopefully avoid popping the box.
  20. Hi guys My XR6 Turbo had a battery relocation done upon tune and the workshop used an ANTZ battery relocation kit. After having this for 2 years and seeing my batter sway back and forward, the material that ANTZ make the battery tray out of has to much flex and I'm not a fan. I'm looking to make my own with stee/metal that has no flex. The tray is flat and then it has one centre piece to hold the tray up. Like I said, I aint a fan. My battery has rocked a few times and that shouldn't happen. Has anyone made their own battery tray or modified the ANTZ tray to give more rigidity and strength???????
  21. If the motor is healthy and you are strapped for a budget, you should just go with the mods you have listed. Transmission rebuild again I'm not sure. Talk to your workshop and see if they are pointing you in the right direction or just wanting some extra cash. If you had more money, I'd get an FG XR6 turbo motor and drop that in or build a motor to much greater strength with aftermarket internals. Beauty of the barra motor is the bottom end is the same for all the series. I think the cylinder head changed designs slightly but someone can confirm. Main changes between these motors were pistons, camshafts and stronger rods from BF xr6 turbo onwards.
  22. Can't see why not! Took it out through the Cotter this arvo - amazing how early you can get on the power through the corner. Fun to be manual too - my last manual was an XF that was so sloppy you couldn't tell whether it was in gear or neutral. Still very sad to watch the FG go. Put a lot of time into it and was a hugely fun car to have.
  23. well, I hope you enjoy it as much if not more than the FG, I guess... would you bring it on a snowies cruise?
  24. 1504kg vs 1773kg, so a couple of fat blokes difference
  25. Gauges are what you need for that... keep an eye on oil pressure and temperature, maybe even gearbox oil temperature instead of engine oil... for the gearbox oil temperature can make a difference, but gearboxes do let you know in other ways if they start letting go.
