Mine had a similar problem. Took it back to the tuners thinking it was a tune problem - turned out to be a blocked throttle body

Sorry in advance for the vague post.. But whats wrong with BP? Yes I realise they mucked up badly of Mexico but has there been a drop in quality of fuel being produced? Or are some people just not going there purely from a moral point of view?

Any updates?

My rego just came through. Makes me cringe just the thought

Not once did I say I was a good driver. I said I was a safe driver who practises self control behind the wheel.

Mate, I was simply saying I am able to practice self control when I am behind the wheel of my car. Not saying I can control my car in all circumstances. I accept that I am not an experienced driver nor would I be able to bring everything back if it were to go pear shaped.

I accept the stats are against me and I also accept that an older driver has far more experience and knowledge when it comes to driving a high powered car. I was simply offering my point of view for the chap who was considering buying a XR6 turbo. And no, there will be no door slammed in my face. Nor will I be going to jail. I got my license before the P rules came in, therefore, they do not have an affect on me. Thanks for the heads up though

I was 18 when I first bought my XR6T. I have had no problems with the law and being able to control myself when behind the wheel. Yeah sure, I have given it a boot off the lights every now and then, but all in all, I consider myself to be a safe driver who respects the power of the car. inowereyoulive, they are a great car. Mine has 272rwkw and its very driveable. Generally traction isnt too much of an issue. Its pretty ordinary in the wet but that's a given. Insurance for myself is $1700 a year. I am a 19y/o living in SE Queensland.

Long time reader, first time poster. Thought its time to post my car. Xr6 Turbo MKI. Coming from a modified forester GT, the xr6 is much more driveable. Much comfier ride and the power comes on pretty well when you need it. Only basic mods to start with. I am a bit reluctant to modify any further because of the 4 speed auto and its age and KM (150xxx). Modifications are as follows; Centre muffler removed Injectors FPV front end De-winged Tuned by Hi-torque - currently making 272rwkw If I had my time again I would gone for a BA MKII or BF series. Still impressed with the car and glad I made the change ~6 months ago! Excuse the quality; they were taken off my phone :\

2002 BA xr6t with 147xxxk on it. Not quiet 300rwkw but is still going strong!

BA xr6 turbo with a custom tune and a couple of other bits tuned to 270 odd rear wheel kW and its averaging 13.3L/100 around town. Pretty happy with that

Its good to see ford are still keeping thier performance utes practical while still maintaining thier performance (even if they may not handle quite as well unloaded in comparison to the irs Late model camira utes) Traction is over-rated..

Definitelty great looking cars! Recently sold my forester GT for a xr6 turbo. Can't say I don't miss the subaru.. The handling of a awd in the wet is a surreal feeling

I saw a new silver lancer at a road block with lights on at a servo down the goldy on the weekend as well as a black golf with lights on, had someone pulled over on the M1. Capalaba police have a white turbo-chraged liberty wagon at present. Going a few months back they also had a black hummer which they shared with Pine Hills or something. Ahh, there is also a silver Late model camira wagon working the bayside area of brisbane, Pretty crazy stuff!

hey guys, Long time reader, more or less first time poster. Heard about the site through a mate who I bought my xr6 turbo from. Used to own a forester GT and made the change to the falcon in July. Pretty damn happy with how things are going! Lovin it.

Count me in! I'll be looking for a UHF radio in the next couple of days
