  1. I've been away for 5 weeks and my falcon is absolutely filthy too as I won't let the MRS wash it haha
  2. $2.50, yeh right, extra 18cents a litre for 98 here in Canberra. with a 75 lire tank that's an extra $13.50 per tank. I run 98 in my car because it is tuned for it. Even before the tune I ran 98 because it is the best thing for it. It's definitely not cheap to do it.
  3. Sounds good mate, im keen. What is the crew usually like there, hoons or enthusiasts? not the keenest on following hoons around.
  4. I think deep down you really wanted the 300 mate. I wouldn't get caught up on the numbers at all, the only thing that seems strange is the boost tapering to 10psi and that's it. What power did it make stock? at least you have supporting mods for when you go for more power as well. You may think you wasted some money but if you did the mods that I did and then wanted more power it would be a shed load more money to get it. Mines going in for a service at gentech and to get the AFR's checked in two weeks, I'll let you know what it pulls on his dyno compared to the original one, might show something different.
  5. I've got diff whine in my FG xr6t, dealership wont recognise it as a problem so I just deal with it and drive around the sound. Diff specialist told me it's nothing to worry about. His words were, "all fords do it, just turn the music up".
  6. Cheers mate, that's my old Clubsport, I sold it about 3 months ago. Can't remember the guys name that I sold it too. All I do know is that he got an absolute bargain as I had to sell it quick, it was in immaculate condition and I really hope to never see it again as im scared of what the bloke might do to it. PS, I secretly miss it a lot
  7. Only just saw this, sucks, locked in snowboarding for saturday literally 10 minutes ago, bugger
  8. what did they get you for mcinnes? I bought a turbosmart kompact BOV the other day. Ended up venting the stock one to atmosphere tonight, now I'm not even sure if its worth using the turbosmart one. It sounds pretty good vented with the stock one. Anyone using an aftermarket BOV and like it?
  9. Just curious as I have heard conflicting reports about it affecting AFR's. I have a custom tune in my FG XR6 turbo and want to put a Turbosmart Kompact Duel Port BOV on. I fully understand that it's fine in an un-tuned car but how about one with a custom tune? I spoke to a couple of tuners and some say it's fine and others say it could cause problems. The only other option is I could just vent the stock one to atmo, would this cause issues?
  10. I'm not a big fan of heavy editing. All the shots are edited but only for exposure and colour changes, so not the stereotype of what editing is. The top image does have a filter over the fluro lights though so that they are not too distracting as they were very bright. Manual shooting is the only way to go, im sure there are some great places to practice. I have a sofbox and LED light for soft lighting as well, so we can use them.
  11. I'm happy to do a shoot one weekend, I'm not going to promise mint pics though. this is a link to my flickr, im a photographer by trade but I haven't done much car work a all. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jakesims/ I'm only new to Canberra so we would need a nice location for late afternoon and then a location for night shots. I might go for a drive this weekend and try and find some spots so we have set places to go to, so there wont be too much stuffing around. Below is shots I did of my old clubby, im still yet to do anything with my FG as im waiting on ACT plates
  12. Friday nights aren't my sort of thing either. I'm not really interested in watching people do burnouts and stupid stuff attracting unwanted attention. Weekend cruises would be great, I would like to try and organise a photo shoot for those interested as well
  13. yeh I had 15% on my old car, didn't even need to wear sunnies when driving. That was in QLD though, ACT sucks, they didn't like 15% at all
