Thanks Stripey/Steve, I was up till 0230 last night meddling with the F6 so felt ever minute of 35 this morning! Had a great day with my family and then my Sister and Her Husband and my niece and Nephew and my Mum and Dad. I tend to reflect on the previous year each birthday and on reflection I'm blessed to have such and a great family and so many good friends.

Do they do a suede protectant? WDYDTYCT? #Tomorow...dropping it off a the panel shop to the get the geriatric tattoo repaired and the rest of the paint refreshed....Im stressing as the only hands that touch my cars are my own. The idea of it being out of my possession unsettles me greatly. #Today finished off my retro alpine install, an MRP-F240 4Ch amp to drive the SPS-171 component fronts and Model number I have forgotten co-axial rears (same vintage as the SPS-171's) and an MRP-F350 Monoblock driving a punchy 10" S-drive sub. A IDE-178BT is providing the signals. I def got value for money from the speakers/amps they started life in the purpo ute, spent some time in the blue meanie and now live in the F6. #recycle/reuse/reduce

Have driven the car all weekend and everything seems to be settled in very well.. No dramas at all and the rear end really holds down well now, instead of ending up sideways in first and second when launching it, car seems to just hold the rear straight now and progresses to the next gear. A major improvement on traction and no more broken diff bush ever again. Anybody thinking of doing these mods, its well worth it

Here's a few photos since having the Modesta Glass paint protection put on. Can anyone say GLOSS?!

Recently had my car back at cms for some more mods . The car made 432 kw on e85. The car has the following mods Precision 6235 turbo Pw stepped intercooler Pw turbo side intake 300lph intank pump Pw surge tank with twin 044s Pw fuel rail and fpr 1200 ID 1000 injectors Advance 4 inch stainless dump and cat , xforce 3.5 inch stainless cat back exhaust. Zf tune and pwr heat exchanger. Nice smooth power and usable on the street . I will try and get to WSID in the next couple of months and give the car a run. I'm really happy with the service from Joe and the boys at CMS.

Hey guys, Finally got around to fitting my 1400Hp CV's and hub kits, Eaton Truetrac, Nolathane Side bushes and Dual Diff Bush Hat Upgrade Kit. Rear end is so refined now, its completely transformed the car and no increase in NVH, its actually quieter now. Enjoy..

I would stick with the 26s

Where do you calibrate your eyes for a visual inspection? Heads need more than a visual inspection, especially if your building an engine, very least it should be pressure tested/hardness tested, I've always got my valve seats and valves cut, ideally a new set of valves in a perfect world.

Followed in fluffas shoes. Bought a new golf glove.. Played like sh*t for 4 holes.. Found form.. Last hole: par 4 240m uphill. Was pleasantly surprised to walk up and find my ball here

trader...lol .. no more factory air box . car looks good but .. keen to see how it goes .. pm me when u head out .. im hoping to race on the 25th of this month

8k?? hell no.. cv's $2600, independent motorsport diff hat (last steel one in country) $750, eaton truetrac - $750, various bearings, loctites etc $300, and installation cost - $500. cost all up just under $5k

Bag of cement or fill the spare wheel up with water instead of air. But don't use spare if you get a flat lol[emoji16]

Well. Them were the days.

Thanks guys . These cars are deceiving , seat of the pants doesn't really tell the full story . It's not until you pull next to another car that you realize how much quicker they are compared to your average quick factory powered car. The standard zf is shifting well , really happy with the latest zf tune that Joe has put in the car.

Having a big shed clean out today to make space for the new race trailer and thought I might as well offload these things. KPM Streetfighter intake for my FGII XR6T. Removed because it didn't fit when the new nizpro cooler went in. But should fit with others....should. Makes a great intake sound and is a BIG pod filter. Looks factory with the cover on. $200 and it's yours. Also a 2" lowering block kit. I took them out because I didn't like the feel. TBH, I wouldn't recommend them but they're free if you want to try them out. Next time I trip over them, they'll go in the bin. I also have the complete OEM roll bar thing and tonneu cover with rods and clips, mounts and all the bits. Was on the ute for about a week from brand new until the standard type came in and I switched it out then sprayed the bar with wd40 and bubble wrapped it and put the tarp and bits into the box the new one came in. So you could pretty much call it brand new. I'm sure it'll fit a FG, dunno about BF. Prob not. $350 the lot. I'm home all day so call over and have a look.

I left my car sitting on them all night, cause was to lazy after a few beers. When I did role car back this morning I inspected and there was no stress mark or the like on them. I'd be happy to use them to lift car no probs while working on it. I will put the jack under for secondary precaution and chock rears. Cause you never know!

Might not nessacarilly throw a code but check. It could just be noise in the connection causing issues

Thanks mate I've been around for a couple of years I just don't post that often. I had my car tuned about 2 years ago by cms , 340kw 11.2 @ 124mph. Lol I still have the air box at home .I'm enjoying the sound at the moment , I don't think I will be putting it back on anytime soon.Yeah I will let you know . I won't be able to make it next week . Have you taken your car to full throttle Friday before ? Not sure on what tyres to run , the tyres I have at the moment are 275/50/17 . When I had the standard turbo the car went two tenths slower and lost two mph compared to when I was running 275/40/17 . The taller tyre made the car go slower . Maybe now I'm making more power the 28 inch tyre (275/50/17) might work better ?

I did 67 shots for 9 holes last week Thursday arvo after work on the maylands coarse. Worst damn golf game I have ever played. Constant 9 shots per hole almost. Too damn stressed out. I bet you never played that bad Dan. Ohh before I forget once again. Thanks a million.

Unfortunately it is the vulnerable (usually the elderly) in our society who fall for this. My old man fell for it a couple of years ago - was downloading the software when my nephew walked in and immediately disconnected the computer from the power. The bastards rang back abusing my dad saying the process was incomplete, my nephew gave them an earful and hung up. Luckily no harm was done. Just reformatted and reinstalled the computer.

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying if I got myself pregnant I'd ask me to do a paternity test

barely even notice any difference in NVH, which was a definite bonus..

all work was carried out by some of the boys from my work..

Don't have a land line.............works for me

have to love the Valet tune. Fark those pimply pie fetchers

They dont call me anymore. I used to do 1 of the following: - just leave the phone on the bench and dont hang up, but it is not that much fun; - I thank them for advising me of this problem and tell them that I am a budding computer programmer and straight after dinner I am going to create my own virus busting program to fix the problem; - String them on for 30 mins or so telling them that my pc / laptop is Windows based, then I tell them it os Mac based so they transfer me to another department. String this apartment along for 20 to 30 mins then tell them that my pc is windows based. They usually have the sh*ts by then and hang up and dont call back. I only do the third option on a Friday or Saturday night if I am having a few quiet ones out the back. Have'nt heard back form them for ages. Luke G

Holy mother of expensive. I'm guessing... 8k done and dusted? Would be awesome to finally be at ease knowing the car isn't going to break whatever you do to it though

I'm the same Ralph , absolutely stresses me out having to hand over my car to other people. I hate it, really really hate it! Not sure why though, never been able too figure that one out. Even when I take the car to get tyres fitted I hang around like a bad smell. Anyway hope you had a great birthday and thanks for the info and tips you've provided me since I've been here on the forum, cheers [emoji1]

Happy big day Ralphy, hope is a ripper for you!

I spot unblemished Phoon 18's. Jealous.

Have spoken to joe and will be letting him Touch my car shortly just waiting to Get back from an interstate trip have never heard a bad thing about him

Largely depends on Kay's and vehicle condition don't get me wrong I like the BAs but it won't be worth much id be taking the sounds system out and reverting to stock IMO Not really a great selling point and if it's good gear better of to keep it for Your next car

+1 Luke, wishing you and the family good health dude

$25 for 3 pizzas, coke and garlic bread - delivered from Domino's Code: 436137 Saved me last night - haven't seen a pizza code this good in years

A good builder should get it right the first time he goes to assemble it.

it's called a birdie... farkin' 'el'

Boom tish

That's a mean set up, wonder how he went about piggy backing it to trick the factory ECU

Everyone loves super soft pink bits!

I always run with them for a little while then either ask if the computer needs to be connected to the internet or if it matters that it's and Apple Pc.......I've learnt a lot of indian swear words in the last year or so using that technique.

This guy.... Started High school a couple of weeks ago and had his school swimming carnival on yesterday. He's done bugger all swimming in the last couple of months so he was worried about how he would perform (there's 7 classes in his year, big school) so he asked me what he should enter. I said, enter everything and make pain your friend! Well I was sort of joking when I said it, but he took me literally. Anyway he smashed it! Entered half a dozen races, never finished worse than 3rd and got a few 1st places, against some of his mates that have been training their arses off. He's off to district carnival next week. Very proud of his effort [emoji7]

Cooling system issue (ie dud headgasket/Leaky Rad/etc etc etc) Hole in the cap will stop the system pressuring and can stop coolant leaking past the headgasket etc....but can also cause the car to overheat as it lowers the boiling point of the coolant AVOID

Jasol Take a pik with all the info on the dyno sheet, missing all the side data Don , take 15-20 off

you sir are a nitwit. Great motor your just to stupid or stubborn to understand the possibility of these great motors. Enjoy your v8. Ill beat you on every spec with my crap built non American straight 6. Hahahahaha fool.

most people on this forum only drive there cars to church and back .they would only know what a race track looks like from watching tv

rrp is $1815. Look, if hadn't have been such a dick and thought I had to have a 62mm wheeled turbo just 'because' knowing my goal was always in that 350 range on pump, I would've saved myself a world of hurt. Also, with the ongoing rollout of e85 (I've got the race blend stuff now 5klm away) for the vast majority of us, the little GTX is the perfect choice. The things make 400+ on sugar and retain the mad spool of the little turbo. The 'headroom' argument unless going built motor and 450+ just isn't valid in this space. The biggest winners for me of this turbo is B series owners. They get to experience what us F series owners have been banging on about for years. Essentially, bringing the car alive down low and as much, or more top end than the 35/40. The PT6235 has given that also but it's near a 2k turbo and there are still question marks over their reliability. Time will tell. At $1375, I'd jump on one and put it under the tree for chrissy boys. It's at about that 'one night on the couch' price point, for us married poor unfortunates, if you go full disclosure. In my case, the car is just super 'unreliable' and its been at the shop all this week for a cold start adjustment baha!

sorry lads - Rear 348mm / Front 343mm HTC OEM shocks .....and those leb spec rims look bloody sh*thouse on that GTS
