Thanks for the reply. Suspected as much but had to ask. I have the trans mount but it also should not be used without the engine mounts. Do you know if running one mount on the passenger side is a option?? Would control the lift but not transfer all the NVH....

Hi all, Does anyone know of stronger engine mounts to suit FG that do not have the same NVH as the tough mounts? There are Torque Master V-Series but only to suit BA and BF. No FG option I haven't been able to find any other options. Thanks in advance, cheers

It should be stock although I have seen ads for F6 short motors with these pistons. Either my car has an F6 bottom or those ads were incorrect. Not a big deal now though as I will replace rods and pistons with aftermarket. I have attached a pic of the inside, has Mahle cast on the inside

Tape is no good. Stag jointing paste does everything and I have had good results with it. https://www.autobarn.com.au/stag-jointing-paste-200-gram-tube-sg200

I have just pulled my motor down, it is a Mk1 G6ET. Question, is this the stock piston XR6T type piston or F6??? It is a Mahle piston and has ORT-ED which I thought came on the F6...

The insulation stock cover will go over the venom cat to give a similar to stock appearance. Only difference will be stainless steel tubings.

Sounds good guys, thanks. Will run the Rockford Fosgate 360.3 and just disconnect the OEM sub wiring. Cheers

Could someone please confirm, with premium sound, if the ICC detects the subwoofer amp then it high passes the door speakers and low passes to the sub? And, if I disconnect the std amp then I will get a full signal on the 4 door channels?? The reason I ask is I will be doing a full install over christmas and want to ensure I get a complete signal to the processor. Would prefer to control the high/low pass at the processor not the ICC. Thanks in advance

6 pots on the front and 4 pots on the rear. Cheers

Bit late on the reply but here are mine, Vossen CV3 20x9 front 20x10 rear

Looked through all the valve spring threads I could find but this is a question I could not find answered: What are the valve spring dimensions, id and od for top and bottom, valve stem size, are they 7' collets? Installed height is 1.49 I believe? Just doing my research....thanks in advance.

I had some good news earlier this week from the bank. They found in my favour and have refunded the money. A very good result and a little lucky. I will be more careful in the future.

I just use the Mothers brand from Supercheap. More case of how often rather than brand. The car gets a full buff and polish every 3 to 4 months and I go over it with the spray on wax after every wash which is fortnightly or after a long trip. 20x9 +32 with 245/35 on the front. HTG 345mm. Will just touch near full lock going up driveways if I am not careful, otherwise fine 20x10 +40 with 285/30 on the rear. HTG 335-340 depending on fuel, guards rolled and pumped 5mm. No problems so far... Only it is now off the road cause the battery dropped a cell, I may have killed it with the stereo while doing the work on it...oem less than 2 yrs old.

With these brakes the fronts will have a hard time, jeez they are strong. Good around town when they are cool but warm them up and they really bite well. Invos are good too although I can only compare to the oem dunlops and nexens that I had on the std wheels. Fronts pull up well when the nexens would have locked up. Haven't had a chance to light up the rears yet. I only have std power atm so the 285s are over kill for now... I have the dark red LED tail lights to go on this week and think I will also get the matching front lights but tossing up with the mk2 projectors.... A matter of taste but I like the audi style lights too.

And change the chrome headlights plus paint both grills black too ... Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk

Finished the car but forum keeps coming back with errors when I try to access the thread via pc. Here is one pic, just a wash, and tyres black. Planning a polish and proper photos next w/e. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/04/qydytepe.jpg[/img Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk

Yes and yes, the holes did not line up, they were about half the hole diameter out. I just tapped the tab flat and then bent it at the right spot. Then it riveted on no probs. I did think they could have supplied the rivets though. I did not have the right size so had to go an buy a pack when I only needed 2...

So I did not get a lot done today, had to service my daughter's Suzuki Swift and she pleaded with me to finish the sound in hers as she heads back to Melbourne tomorrow. This is some old Kenwood stuff (back when it was not made in China!) that used to be in my XE 351 years ago. Here is a pic of the rears fitted but rolling still needs to be done Fronts all ready to go too. Have to work tomorrow so next update will be new years day. Have a great new year all!

Rear is done except for bleeding the lines. Have to get one of the wheels re-balanced as the weights fell off, what a nuisance. Will roll the guards today and fit the wheels for a photo later today. Passenger side Drivers side Rears ready to go!!

Correct, by itself the effect will be minor but doing it now while I'm there. The next project after this one is the sound system... Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk

Rear of the car is first up. Old brakes and rotors are off, second coat of deadener is on but will have to dry over night. Then on goes the black sealer. Rotor centres are painted, pads and lines fitted to calipers. Time for a bourbon!

Finally started doing some serious mods to the G6ET, about time too. Parts list as follows: Vossen CV3 20x9 and 20x10 with 245/35 and 285/30 invos Brembo 6 / 4 calipers, PMU HC+ pads, braided lines and GS610 brake fluid Second Skin Spectrum Sludge - sound deadening under the guards then underbody sealer. Progress pics to follow.

Update: Supplier, BBOSS Wheels, has the rims but did not supply them to Tech9 as they had gotten past their credit limit. Bank has advised that I need to lodge a dispute which will be done first thing next week. Here's hoping....

Thanks Ralph. I am on the creditors list and am expecting mail from them now. After talking to them it is unlikely that there will be anything left for the unsecured creditors and I am not the only one. Apparently there are quite a few irate customers and other creditors. I will update as things progress.
