XAH03

I've noticed these have recently been done for our cars http://velocityauto.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=107 They have made these for the LS powered commonwhores for a while now.

I've had my gearbox out a few times and had the same clutch scenario as you, it took a bit of a drive to get it back to normal. It was also hard to change gears.

My car is tuned with VCM. It used to be tuned with SCT. I believe the car runs and drives a lot better with VCM but that may come down to my tuner preferring it over SCT.

Find a few extra dollars under the seats??

No it doesn't matter I was just curious to see if anyone else had seen this. If the tyres are stamped wrong then I've been ripped by the tyre shop..... Those bastards have charged me 19" prices for 18's!

Yeah they are definately genuine, they are stamped FPV, came off a GTE which spent all of its life in a garage and were still wearing the original dunlops. Haha all good then, I got them at a good price.

Evening boys and girls I had to get my rear tyres rebalanced today because one of the weights spat off. Anywho while I was getting them done the tyre dude pointed out that the stamp on the inside said they were 18x8 when they are actually 19x8's. They are genuine FPV 19inch silver argents which came off a 2008 FG GTE and have FPV stamped on the inside. Why does the stamp say they are 18's? is this a stuff up buy ford or are they all like that??

This is where I put mine, it's mounted on the ecu bracket. I find the noise not too bad mounted here, I don't know if the bracket takes some of the noise out though.

Haha yeah she's a good influence

Oil pump gears were upgraded when the original engine was built and were put straight into this engine

Haha funny you say that. She reckons she doesn't want anymore go fast bits until it's got coil overs and some big brakes

Yeah it's a handful, the boost comes in at about 2700rpm and once it reaches 21 it stays there I'm very happy with the VCM tune, car runs and drives unreal

yeah mate its not exactly kind to the tyres anymore

Ive fitted a Mr turbo spec GTX3582r since my stock turbo let go not long after my 580hp tune. I got the car retuned on saturday, we ended up with 623hp/464kw @21psi. Very happy with the car now, it was tuned with VCM suite and has never driven better then now.

Full tank and a full washer bottle

It's quite happy making that power. We could have pushed it more but I was fine for it to be where it's at. I don't need atomics number mate.

got mine retuned today. MR turbo spec GTX3582r 623hp/464kw @21psi 98 pump fuel

Mines getting tuned with VCM tomorrow

this one shows power- this one shows torque- the afr's were at 12 and boost hit a max of 21.56psi mine is still running stock exhaust manifold

Yep, I'll upload it tonight.

Yeah the 3540 died a week later so I think it was too much for it haha. Can't get E85 in Cairns unless its in a 44 and being a 4 day a week driven car it's not really viable. It will be tuned with pump 98, but I'm not reaching for max power figures, just want it to be safe and reliable. I may do a 98+toulene mix but I'll see how it goes

579hp/431kw gt3540 on pump 98 21psi pulling back to 19psi. Have fitted Mr Turbo spec GTX 3582r and waiting to get it tuned

Moves along but the M5 was catching it.

I hope so too mate. It gets quite annoying having it always off the road

Well all the coils were tested today and all of them came back perfect so that's not the problem. It's getting towed in tomorrow to get sorted. We are now thinking harmonic balancer or crank angle sensor.
