  1. Do the turbo terrys have the same issue with Ball joints as the non turbo series 1s? and are the control Arms the same as the NA ones?
  2. Unfortunately it was on the highway doing 110 and saw someone run over it, Wasn't sure what it was until I got home 45" later. Bloody killed me when I realised
  3. So after almost a 3 year hiatus I'm back with some turbo barra fun. So join me on resisting the urge to not go silly with it. A very stock 08 Turbo Territory Ghia, Picked it with 250000kms and first thing to do is give it a full once over. Had it on the weighbridge and came in at 2.26T but surprisingly spritely. Fresh thermostat in as the bypass had failed and coolant wouldn't go above 80. Flush oil is in and next is a proper service, Zf Service, Transfer case and both Diff Oils. Also probably in need of a good detail. Only issues I've noted as the front end seems to clunk over bumps so I'm assuming I'm due for some fresh upper and lower control arms. Rear bump stops are looking quiet ratty and new ones on the way. But the absolute most annoying thing was on the drive home after buying it, The bonnet scoop liner blew off on the highway and supposedly ford don't supply them anymore. No wreckers seem to have them so that's great. The most I plan on is some injectors and a fuel pump and E85 as there is a servo right near me. I always thought the G6 was a barge but this things on another level. Anyway enjoy some pics
  4. Very well, All though not entirely post barra anymore
  5. It was fantastic, Id been really slack updating everyone though and I certainly had a blast with it at track days and the drag strip. But in the end weddings and my GT4 getting back on the road took priority. Itll be really missed that's for sure. Not many dailys were capable of doing what it can
  6. Ill still be round keif checking in from time to time
  7. So time to finish this thread up Yesterday the g6 sold It will be severely missed but was the right time to move on Thanks everyone for all the advice and help with it. Its been an absolute pleasure
  8. Ill try and chase them up. I do want to attend!
  9. If only I could look that far ahead, I'd love to and we dont have any surprising weddings.... yet
  10. I always had a weep at the front of the sump unfortunately, Can the sump come off without taking out the crossmember?
  11. Afternoon keif and all Finally have a standby to plan my next track day Im thinking december 20th
  12. I wonder why Golebys has begun selling this then. https://www.golebysparts.com.au/products/ba-bf-and-fg-oil-pan-gasket-and-seal-set?variant=15660247318637
  13. Dan that’s is next level evil, however I like evil so it’s a solid maybe
  14. I think its the position is the problem.
  15. Couldn't get to the thread to repair it, The B Series where much easier supposedly. Even with the mount out or the engine jacked all the way up still couldnt get to it. Now reckons the cross member has to come out
  16. Can we get a big F in the chat plz sump plug thread stripped and thread repair guy couldn’t get to it
  17. I think that’s what he’s gonna do
  18. Very front stud on the lower side. Its off and the turbo is off to procharge for its inspection. Im there at Wakefield to have fun. Throwing the boat around the track is excellent
  19. I run e10 when I don’t feel like living life one jerry can at a time. Falcon loves it and still smashes in 15psi I think on that tune. One of the exhaust nuts was turning freely in on the manifold. Pulled the nut out praying it was the thread on the nut/Stud, stud came with it. Que nice chunks of aluminium In stud thread. Thread repair guy said he couldn’t do it with the manifold on. So manifold off and while it’s off I’m sending the turbo back to procharge to inspect a potential fault. Oh well lucky I bought the soarer, planning to go back to Wakefield with it on the 14th so hopefully it’s back on the road by then
  20. So as it turns out the head thread was stripped for the exhaust stud.. So turbo is off and thread guy is coming back Monday also jet get more E10 in your state
  21. Even my 69mm procharge turbo goes hard on e85
  22. Sort of Keith id really love to get the celica working now and the only way I can do that with house/Wedding but it would be hard to let it go
  23. I've been thinking about it for a while (ask Damo) but I've fallen out of love with the car for sure.
  24. Cant wait to see how the gtx gen 2 goes when tuned
