TURBOTAXI

Yep pitlane are the folk doing this one. I have an awesome few days in Melbourne planned while the install takes place.

Thanks Robo OK so I picked it up in Narromine this morning and drove it home (albeit with the kids) Performance is good, as expected, it will take me some time to get used to how best to roll on and off the torque without wringing its neck. Under full acceleration it is quicker than both my AU Turbo and the BA MK2 Turbo. so we are off to a good start. Good points so far: New rotors on the front. WIN rotors on rear only 1mm wear. new diff bush recently interior in very good order. new tyres all round (WTF! normally they are sent with legal tyres and good tyres are kept for the next car) All interior controls seem to work well. Engine ticks over like a sewing machine (quiet as) The oil smelt good and was still honey coloured, 5000k into the service period. suspension and front end felt super good. (no noises and nice and firm/planted) The Bad? There was grime and grease on the compressor housing of the turbo.?? Warranty??? The drivers seat belt is frayed at the edge. (Warranty) Seat has seen some wear from gun belt The clear coat has lifted in the Left Front caliper. There is a 1mm-2mm rust spot on the LH boot channel (warranty) There is corrosion in one of the holes on the inside of the bonnet (warranty) There is some Orange peel on the drivers side rear (see pic) Pillar? ?? Warranty?? The heat shielding under the bonnet has sagged (warranty) the boot lid has rubbed on the rear bar (Warranty) Panel gap on rear bar (Warranty)

Agreed on all counts. Should be picking it up in about 2.5 hours.

Hi boost, this my one is rego BA97SA it was with traffic services. The one with 65k was a taipan or raptor car. It's rego is BA93SA After doing some digging it seemed that the car I bought was a better car despite the k's I have the serial numbers at work, so I don't know which car the one in the pic is, there are only 11 F6's in the fleet, so there can't be too many nitro ones!

Yeah up to 867,000 on the old girl. On ebay now item number 190479155946 Please someone buy it who will love it.

Hi Mate, Mick from Pitlane mentioned you lol. which car are you referring to? The new one is a nitro FG F6 with 95k, the one it replaces is a white 2005 XR6 Turbo with SVI LPG and 245k, the one for sale is a white AU Falcon with a turbo and front mount cooler and 865k.

I would have bought the ex police XR6T for mid $20k, but the FPV F6 just had more appeal. Being an ex police car has never bothered me!

Picked up an ex NSW Police F6 at auction, wanted to pay $32, but a live bidder pushed me to $34,700. Its a 10/2009 build F6 in Nitro. It has 95,000k (mostly on F3 @ 110kph) Soon its off to Pit Lane Performance at Frankston for a JTG LPI LPG system. I will post some details on the outcome of the JTG and also this means I have a turbo AU for sale with 222.5rwkw running LPG for $5500. (but that wasnt the reason for this post!) I will post up details of the LPG conversion here and on AFF for anyone interested.

Been away a while Car now has 240,000 on it. LPG for 150,000 of that about to do an FG with liquid - will post results. Still have the old AU turbo with ring mixer LPG, 867,000k now pushing 222.5rwkw woot.

I regret I have not been here for a while. The LPG has been faultless - I still get 13l/100 and now have 145,000 on the clock - that's over 55,000 on the LPG. Goes like a trooper. APS and Hilbert know their stuff and their after sales service has been first rate.

Hi there it starts on petrol and changes over at 20 degrees. I sometimes drive on petrol for 50k's or so just to ensure the petrol doesnt get too old. Petrol is 11l/100k open road. LPG is 13 l/100 open road. go for it!

Car is fixed, bill was around $5K insurance is paying. Ended up being 3 broken/melted wires in the harness. Related to jumpstartin - dont do it!

Yeah I agree the 7.5 hrs was for the HIM moduleI amy not have been clear.
