Well. it was a nice morning... Was driving home after going into town in darwin to check on the boys at work (Security). Was crusing along in third towards palmo from town. Was slowing down for the lights. the lights turn green.. give about half throttle. wasnt giving it to much just reving it out.. then all hell broke loose.. hole car shakes. Farking loudest bang ive heard in a while. so now im looking for a place to get a decent T56 in darwin. if there is such a place. help please =(

well it all started with the drive from Canberra to Darwin... There was some road works between Mount Isa and Rocky. my fog lights got completly smashed by the stones on the drive up but still worked. then 40kms out of Katherine my cousin who I drove up with decided to hit the only wallaby I had seen from 3 ways to Dawin and completly smash the last remaning working fog light to bits at 2am in the morning. So... after a number of conversations I drove the rest of the way. My Question... What is the size of the Ba Mk1 Fog lights and is it worth getting the ford ones or is there a spercific brand of fog lights I should be looking for and what is the expected cost. As I am now living in Darwin a nice bright set would be great.. Any help would be apreciated "yes I know my spelling is not the best but I have just finished 25hrs worth of shifts and cant really be bothered " Brody.

thanks guys. Yeah im definatly enjoying this part of the year.. december was crazy!! loving the coolness

hey guys.. moved up here to darwin from canberra a while ago. just wanted to say hey.. I own a silver xr6t with black act plates.. not hard to spot..

that's the way!! but yeah. typhoon CAI will do the trick to.

Hey guys n girls... I have a ba mk1 turb's.. Just wondering what size the standard exhaust is. and how much work is involved in getting a 3 1/2 cat back with a 3 1/2 high flow cat.. and what is the diff in the car? is it a M84 something? thanks in advance.. Brody

Man I have been getting the same problem aswell now... I dont think its my tune thou.. because my tune ran fine for a year and now all of a sudden its doing the same thing.. spluttering under 3/4 and full throttle. then I thought it could have been a bad batch of fuel. 8 tanks from different servo's around canberra and still the same problem.. I put it in for a service and got all of the fuel filters changed.. it stopped doing it for a little bit... "Kinda" Now its just constant again.. think I might take it to Genteck and get it stuck on the computer and see if they can find the problem. Because that's where it was tuned and I trust them with my car.

Lol yeah true.. Hmm will be interesting to see what the fuel is going to do now fuel is $88 a barrell. Thanks for the info fellas!

so I dont have to have the car running on 15 - 18 psi constantly. want to be able to knock it down to 8 - 12psi for around town and just cruising. then when I want to have a squirt just press a button and have the full power there. cause fuels killing me lol.. and 15 - 18 psi constantly will just be nuts.

I have got the car running a capa flash if that's what you mean by edit. .. so correct me if im wrong or not getting the point lol But if I edit the cars ecu to a higher boost presure. say 15 - 18 psi and have the Eboost running so it has a 12psi and a 18psi setting and only switch inbetween the flash tunes max boost level it wont go into limp mode?

Hello all, I have a BA Xr6t. My question is. I am wanting to run a boost controller in the T but have been told that it is not possible because the car senses a change with the boost presure and goes into limp mode - no fun.. The boost controller I am thinking of getting for my car is the Eboost 2. seems like it would do the trick. But I am wondering how you would get around the car going into limp mode. any help would be great as im abit confused from people telling me I cant do it.. then others telling me they have seen it done in a xr6t.. Thanks

im part of canberra cruises aswell and have been for a couple of years. Would be good to see a couple of the Fordxr6turbo blokes show up and support the cause.

This is from Maclean Cherry who own Canberra cruises. All are welcome.

For those who dont know, I started CC on 6th of October 2005, the same day my mum lost her 3.5 year battle with Cancer, I met some great people before, during and after our families rollercoaster ride dealing with what was happening and I'd really like to be able to give something back. For this reason, CanberraCruises' 3rd birthday (and every birthday after) will be help as a charity fundraiser with all profits going straight to The Cancer Council ACT. My mum became quite well known throughout the Cancer effected community in canberra for the strength she showed and her unwillingness to let cancer stop her (she went to UK and Paris just 12 months before passing) and as such, I'd really like to make the event a tribute to her and all other sufferers. The 6th of October is Monday this year so the event will be held on Sunday the 5th. This is not officially endorsed by The Cancer Council ACT yet. I am waiting on a response from them. Please be aware that police will be notified about this event and idiots will not be tollerated and will be reported Not all details are set in concrete, if you have any suggestions please make them here http://www.canberracruises.com/forum...407#post209407 Please only post in this thread if you will be attending so I can add you to the attendance list. Details: EVENT: CanberraCruises 3rd Birthday/Anne Cherry Annual Charity Drive DATE: Sunday 5th October 2008 MEETING SPOT/TIME: TBA/11am CRUISE ROUTE: TBA BBQ SPOT/TIME: Black Mountain Peninsular BBQ Area/12:30pm RAFFLE: Pending prize availability - details will be updated. WHO CAN ATTEND: Anybody! Everybody is welcome and the more the merrier. Feel free to only join in the cruise, or only come for the BBQ. The more cars in the cruise the better as it would be great to see 100+ done up cars with Charity Stickers cruise through Canberra and then roll into Black Mountain Peninsular. COST: - Gold coin donation for a sausage sizzle or drink. May have steak available as well - Gold coin donation to participate in cruise. - Charity Cruise sticker will be available, price is pending design. WHAT/WHO I NEED: - Any local businesses willing to donate supplies for the Sausage Sizzle. Obviously we need, Bread, Sausages/other meats, Sauces, Soft Drinks/Water - Any local businesses willing to donate products/services as prizes for the raffle. No prize is too big or small and everything is appreciated! - Qualified BBQ operators to cook the sausage sizzle, the BBQ's at Black Mountain Peninsular are in pairs, so preferably 1 person to operate each BBQ and then 2 or 3 people to accept donation and hand out food/drinks. - Cruise organisers, I'm not that great with cruisers and get lost easily anywhere north of Woden (give me a break, I live, work and socialise in Phillip/Mawson..) So I need people to assist in putting together a cruise route, including maps to be given to drivers. - Cruise Leaders, these are dedicated cars that know exactly where they are going and need to stand out somehow (sticker etc) We need leaders through out the cruise pack to make sure everyone knows the right way, if someone gets caught at traffic lights, a cruise leader needs to be close to get in front and lead from there. - EVERYBODY to put word out. Post a link to this thread EVERYWHERE! Every forum, tell people at your work place, tell your school mates, tell your mum, tell your mum to tell her workmates. This wont be a success unless people know about it. Please contact Maclean on maclean@canberracruises.com or 0405835691 if your business would like to help make this event a success.

Im keen for a meet up and lunch dinner cruise! But my gearbox is having other thoughts at the moment.... so hopefully be gettin a new one from malwood in the next 2 weeks

is it very hard to sorce an F6 bottom end? or am I just better of getting the forgies and rod myself and putting them in?

so getting a F6 bottom end is going to be the go eh? Why is it that they are stronger? senna_T - will 60lb injectors be enough for this?

Hey guys, I know you's are probably getting sick of answering these things but bear with me please. I have a BA MK1 xr6t. I am putting a T56 from malwood into my car as to handle more power. My question is I want to get into the 400rwkw club and am wondering what is needed to acheive this. so far I have - 42lb injectors, cold air intake, capa flash tuner. on the way I have X-Force 3.5" exhaust, valve springs, fuel pump. Will I need to upgrade any of the internals on the xr6 to handle this sort of power? I am really serious to do this and need some help as I dont know much about these cars. so any help would be good.. thanks brody
