Rocket (cannon) Exhaust Tips?
I hate the thought of anyone even wanting to have a melon shooter on a ford, we all own these cars to blow the doors of all the ricers. Don't get me wrong there are some nice fast ones that deserve the respect but not many.

2004 Ba Mki Valve Spring Change...
I got nizpro springs off ebay from sport compact in canberra for 290 and fitted for 330 from my local mechanic. He said to a mate of mine that went there that he will only fit for them for 500 CASH from now on as he had a sh*t of a time doing mine.

Clutch Change
Thanks for that mal I will use the transmax z if that's what you recommend. As for the exedy well its already here, im confident it should last the standard one is only slipping a couple times a week on hard 4th gear pulls in every other gear it seems fine and there is no shudder and im running 265rwkw atm.

Clutch Change
Hi im changing my clutch hopefully next week I have just ordered a hd exedy comes with csc and the bearing so I hope it lasts at around 280-300rwkw. Just a few questions, im a machinist by trade and I was wondering if anyone has had there flywheel turned rather than ground???? And is it worth lightening it or do you lose too much torque?? One last question, what is the go with the friction modifier or additive that goes in the gearbox or is that just the diff if so where do you get it, and what oil do people use, does anyone differ from castrol syntrans. thanks I look forward to all replies.

Prior Turbo Ownership
This is my 2nd turbo car and they have both been fords. I had a genuine xf efi turbo which was a beautiful car for its time probably brakes better than my ba. And now I have my 2003 ba 5 speed leather, prem sound, and hopefully push near 300rwkw soon!

Ford Withdraws V8 Supercar Support
NOOO!!! I couldnt support them in a Late model camira at all no matter who they are. I also dont doubt that campbell little would have had all of the best input towards building the fg race car he is the smartest person in the v8 paddock.

Clutch First

Ford Withdraws V8 Supercar Support
This is absolute crap, team vodafone are without a doubt the best team in the whole field and craig lowndes would have to be most valuable face in the sport. Ford must have a problem with with 888 coming from overseas and beating them at their own game. Last year in the whincup/tander nail biter and the year before with the lowndes/rick kelly finale 888 did not recieve anyhelp from any other ford team and had to fight with the fpr cars. I do believe sbr have great technical knowledge but that all came from campbell little (left sbr for t8) and paul forgie who went to nascar withmarcos ambrose. All I can say is GO TRIPLE 8!!! all on your own.

Cant Upload Photos!
As the title suggests. When I use the attachment bar under the full text editor, I click browse choose my pic that I want, then it says 'uploading file' then the whole attachment bar just goes white and I cant click on anything, I have tried refreshing and then it just says 'no attachments' in that space again. Whats the go?

Will The T5 Handle 300rwkw?
I see you say 'drove'as in past tense, what happened did it finaly let go or did u replace it???

Will The T5 Handle 300rwkw?
I know this is been asked thousands of times but I couldnt find the thread. Will my t5 hold up to 300rwkw, it may not make that much but I already have 265 and more mods and a tune to come, so it should go close. Also will an extreme organic single plate clutch be capable with a 1250kg clamp load pressure plate??? I do give it a hiding but no standing start or overly hard gear changes.

Boost Gauge
I guess it does, it is coming straight out of the inlet, just depends on the quality of your gauge.

Oils Ain't Oils: Best Engine Oil for the Barra Turbo
ive been using nulon 10-40 for a while now and its seems fine but with the growing list of mods may it be time to upgrade to the 15-40 or do they even do a 15-50??? Im just after a few opinions as its getting 100ks on the clock as well. What is my best option?? Does anyone believe in using that bi-tron addititive, it sounds impressive but I guess you never no what is in the oil start with and especially nulon if the claim it to be so friction-free.

XR6 Turbo Insurance: Premiums, Insurers & Advice
Im only 21 and pay $875 p.a at $73 a month with AAMI, I cant believe how cheap it is. I have a 2003 manual sedan, leather, premium sound and have it insured for my flash tuner and intercooler and tinted windows, just so I dont get screwed over if there was to be an accident and it is insured for my girlfriend to drive as well and shes only 20, I rang twice and got a different operator to make sure it was right and they hadn't stuffed up the price.

Twin 2 1/2" Exhaust Cat Back?
I was thinking about getting a redback system and a hi flow cat fitted as well, one because it is cheap and I love my quiet car at the moment and im hoping the redback wont be too loud and I would think it should increase flow a fair bit over standard.
