At the risk of telling my life story again... lol Henz? 19's factory. SL/SSL a good 2 inches above tyre on the front and 1 inch on the rear. ^ This still hasn't quite settled down all the way. ^ This is the day I had it done. No settling, factory exhaust fitted. Since this it has settled considerably. I've destoyed 2 bump stops on my car so far. Fitted with Koni Red shocks. I apologise in advance for providing factual pictures of what to expect if you go lower than the pictures provided above. With a 4" exhaust it will be close to 50mm off the deck. Jack

Just got my car home from getting springs fitted. Springs are King Spring SSL in the front and SSSL in the rear. Wheels are 20x8.5 on the front +35 offset and 20x10 with 275 on the rear with a +38 offset No scrubs or scraping to report yet, I am assuming it might settle or lower a little more over the next 2 days. Paid $250 for all 4 Delivered to my door over night. (Car is filthy dirty at the moment, needs a good wash after all this rain!!!)

^ not quite, it actually relates to diff bush and turbo oil line fitting cracking, if you have either issue the car will alert you with the above mentioned symbol

Yeah Lukes GTR is fast but so It should be for being a semi race car that weighs f*ck all. Had a few good runs but the silver bullet just has the legs on it. Great night all in all!!!

This is the show us ya pits thread right? cheers

Just an update after my alignment at Heasmans Steering. Front arms shimmed up nicely, my rear has no camber adjusters and he said it'll be fine without camber arms or camber bushes, and that ill wear the tyres out from the power long before the camber will hurt them.

that's my mates 34gtr. Quickest car I ever been in hands down. Think its running around 360awkw atm.

Nope had a great time hayboner

Hi guys just thought I would update as I have changed a few things with the car, Just fitted McDonalds Brothers sheet metal 4" link 9",weld in 6 point ANDRA Tech cage, new fuel system, new front seats and harness and convo pro wheels..

Guys I'm getting a bit involved now with the ANDRA nsw rules stating that you still require a cage if you dip into the 10's. Now I've spoken to and today received an email from the CEO of ANDRA Mr Malcolm Bulley who is quite compassionate towards getting nsw and for that matter all Oz across the line with the no cage for 10's for modern cars. He has asked me to gain actual examples and mins mods needed to achieve a 10.999 or better. So please post your min mods, car and slip info and I'll create a comprehensive email back to Malcolm who has assured me he re raise this issue at the next bit meeting. Also mention a cost/spend. From what I understand FG wise it's $7000 for an F6 and $9000 for the xr6. Thanks in advance guys ans hears hoping we can get this across the line in 2013. "."

Big thanks to autotech and rapid for helping me get the car over the 400 mark. I bought the car with an aps phase 3 kit and added 80lb injectors, fuel system from rapid (a1000 pump, fuel rail, braded lines and reg) and x-force dump. Car feels unreal now, can't wait for powercruise!

hey mate, I just did the ssl/sssl last weekend too, its slightly firmer than stock, but nothing to worry about, And the ride still being nice was my main concern. In my opinion it sits perfect now. Also I got an all wheel alignment buy a top suspension shop here, they shimmed my front arms up nicely, and he said the rear was going to be fine. Go for it.

I think it would be possible to run a 10 with a euro 4 FG F6 for under 4g (charged at a retail rate, not inc price of slicks) for someone willing to push it on E85 Link to FB page: http://www.facebook.com/groups/139192539576927/?ref=ts&fref=ts

Ok so the pump should be in by now, but I couldnt help myself and I splashed out on some Brembos and braidedlines so it probably wont be tuned until tommorow. Probably only do one max power run just to see what it can do and then bring it back to abour 350 atw until I get the driveline beefed up.

Pazz thinking his Italian, c'mon man, stop making me look bad

Qld trains...too many killerwasps: And how's Mundine's attitude? Such a dirty fcken grub. I think 98% of Australia cheered this morning hearing that news.

I NEED A TUNE :( Dont like having a slow car anymore

They honestly sound like a hovercraft! but they do the job, that's for sure

becausestartednewjobasstrippertoday

Yeh BF6 kept him honest but its still awsomelly quick

My king springs should arrive today. SSL for the front and SSSL for the rear. Paid $250 delivered Planning on fitting them this weekend so ill chuck a photo up then.

Check the lowered fg thread, lots of suggestions in there...

Rule number one always replace coils with genuine Rule number two always replace them all. I would be putting a set of genuine coils in right away

they do in 20s http://centerlinewheels.com/wheels_detail.php?mw_id=115&sw_id=961 they are for new camaros and mustangs, mustang offset should be good for AU and up? maybe?

"After re-reading this post I realize I seem pretty clueless'' . I thought you sounded like a pro with all that injector over drilling talk

(.Y.)

the oil is available to any castrol dealer, so they should be able to supply it to you, but we can only buy as 20 ltr minimum

Thanks Rapid good work. Benny.

Farkin MKR....how irritating are these cnts! Could it be any more scripted?

Yep, have to agree whole heartedly with Ratter & SteveR......save your money and buy the S/C GS/GT. So much potential from factory and it's an absolute gem of an engine. Head down to your dealer and get your hands on one before the last of the 'proper' FPV's are gone.

OK, for those still interested in this thread I have done alot of ground work and found out from Ford directly that the Miami 315 & 335 engines do 100% come of the assembly line with the recommended 5W-20 Castrol Edge oil so there is no such thing as a special run in oil with these engines. Also, you can change your oil and filter whenever you choose to without any problems with your warranty as long as a genuine filter and the recommended oil is used. The reason Ford don't recommend or like doing this is to do with cost issues apparently (from the horses mouth) which is why the majority of service managers at dealerships will look at you a bit strange! I have also found that unless you purchase your oil direct from Ford it is only available in 20 or 60ltr drums with the 20ltr coming in at just under $360 so it certainley isn't cheap stuff and a 20ltr drum is only good for 2 changes as the engine holds 8.5ltrs. So for all of us wanting to do in between oil changes, it will have no effect on your warranty so if you want to dump the oil at 1000ks or 3000ks.....go for it. The oil can be a litle difficult to get as it was a joint colaboration between Ford & Castrol to develop it so they like to keep you going back to them for your services but you can get it. I hope this helps some of you guys with your concerns regarding this subject. Cheers, Rapid

^^^ What he said. If you have no plan to change the turbo for a bigger unit then a dump and cat will give you all the power you need when coupled with a tune. The sound in my opinion with this mod is great with no drone or exessive noise. Just a nice burble as you are looking for. Benny.

I have heard this is best glass cleaning method for a Ford Maybe also this

this is pazz I call it wypsy (wog gypsy)

Farking Australian Born at Sth east private hospital on Prinny Hwy, born on a Friday night which is hwy night.... With Italian parents you farks!!!!!!

My BA 290 was capable of running 11's on slicks, so yes the boss can be made to go well, but Luke is correct, I presently have a FG 315 and will not do anything else to it as I can do heaps of mods and tune and it will only just match a stock S/C 335, so at some stage I'll probably just upgrade to one of them rather than just chuck money away

Spotter trainer on the weekend.

ImO I would go mick at put lane ... Done a freaking awesome job on mine .... And it's a safe tune .. 445kw with herrods bolt ons ... It really is surprisingly quick

So in the instance of a radiator the best colour is actually matt black as this will dissipate the heat within much quicker than a polished aluminium radiator. The problem with black materials is they absorb heat just as well as they radiate it but when the black item is much hotter than it's surroundings then this isn't a problem.

I bought an engine from them, down many thousand on a dud engine and no reciept if there yard catches on fire one day I'd better have a good alibi

Jet's 3rd account?

How loud are the fans sounds like Rex airlines prop plane taking off , how's the ute I bet your burnt a lot of fuel already

I thought the only differences was the larger turbo and larger injectors? I was of the understanding that the pistons, rods, etc were all the same?

Bilsteins with SL & SSL

I did end up going to Suspension City last Friday, the blokes there are great (and fast). I swear the car was in and out in under 45 minutes. SSL fronts/SSSL rears - Looks great - will get around to uploading a pic later....

SSL - Front SSSL - Rear

unlike!
