Who Do You Recommend To Install Gauges In Ipswich/brisbane Area
Yeah they did mine. Had one earth wire come loose, from the plug at the back of the guage, couple of months later. Not sure if they were a bit rough with the plug or it was sh*t from the supplier. Fixed it myself

Daily Driver Xr6t
My wife drives ours too everyday. Then its my toy on the weekend. I don't see the point in buying a car to sit in the shed. Their fun to drive and that's what their designed for, (not to be parked.) My 2cents.

Oil Pressure Question...
Mate in my XR6T the oil presssure sits low when warm idling. A bit higher when cruising and higher again when WOT. So not sure what yours is doing.

Ba Mkii 4.0l Fairmont - Servicing
I think its when they put an addtiive in your engine/fuel (not real sure) and take it for a spin and its supposed to blow out all the carbon deposits. Had it done on mine without me even knowing til I saw the invoice. Don't think it made a noticable difference. Might help in the long run though.

I Need Help With A Problem Please
Mate it could be a lot of things. But I had something similiar(not quite the same mine would do it at different rpm). Mine turned out to be dodgy fuel pump. Just a guess mate. Hope ya get it sorted

Newbie Here - What Next?
Welcome mate. I have excatly the same car, different colour. You might wanna factor in valve springs. Got mine tuned and they were the first things holding me back(differs from car to car, but don't be suprised if ya need them). Depending on what power your chasing the injectors will be the next restriction. Cheers Pete

Ricer Thread
Guys saw one today but couldn't get a photo. I'll try again another day cause its there 5 days a week. It was a rapid xr6t with the black stripes around the bottom but it had a massive "turbocharged" sticker along the bottom of the doors that flow with the stripes, half height of the doors. IMO it looked terrible.
