bluute

yeh I wasnt even looking for black rims as I was goona put some on my lightning strike sedan and wanted something different but the guy brought a 22" out of the shop and put it next to the ute and I just though "that's the s@#t" only annoying thing was they werent released and I had to wait like 4 weeks I wanted them NOW he he

ahh yeh by the buy the rims are called "gauntlets" if anyone interested and the also come in shadow chrome

yeh man tinted rears and side indicators dont like the all fashionable clear jobs to much its a delicate task mate so be carefully if you aint done it before you can add more but its pretty hard to remove thankfully I aint been pulled over yet although you can still see the lights

I paid $2700 with tyres and fitting

yeh man the guy said I was going to be limited on brake size they do a 22" would they fit or you dont wanna go that big?

cheers all only downfalls are now the brakes look tiny (gonna remedy that soon) and you can only put 245's on the rear 255 at a push but not recomended

heres mine 1. 83 nissan blubird (the spruce moose) 2. UC Torana (not a sunbird) "the seagul" 3. Possibly my Favourite 92 EB Fairmont lowered (like a snakes dick), exhaust, stereo and the best interior ever put in a falcon grey velour everywhere! 4. 02 Toyota corrola Levin (dont ask) although it was a fun little car 5. 02 Series three AU fairmont lowered, tint, exhaust, stereo 6. 05 BA XR6 sedan bought new 0 k's on clock (family car) tint, FRAM air filter 7. 03 XR6T ute (as per sig)

ill ask around the labbys at work see wats the best way to get ya foot in the door if that's wat you wanna stick with Richards Mining Services are a good mob to get in touch with they do a lot of traineeships etc is a good way to get your foot in the door too if you dont mind long rosters (2-3 weeks on) put your names down with people like AGC, Monodelphis, Skilled all those sorts they are always looking for t/a's roustabouts etc especially with shutdowns on and with the gas crisis still going alot of companies are shut down

Well that's it im flying home tonight woooo hooooo finaly get to see my ute with the new 20's on will post pics tomorrow

amen to that brother that desert wind and a little bit of rain its f#@$ing freezing

im a mechy fitter/supervisor work at minara resources which is at murrin murrin minesite (nickel and cobalt) about 350km's north east of kal

mate I have worked away for about six years done a few different rosters 2/2-2/1 and some crappy contracting ones 3/1 etc ive been on 8/6 days then nights for about 4 years now and I have to say I love it 7/7 would be better but its pretty close to even time and ive got a wife and two kids just enough time away and quality time home if I worked in perth to get the money im on id have to work 6 days a week on avarage and by the time I got home the kids would be ready for bed id have dinner and a beer and hit the sack so that's maybee a day a week to spend with the family that just aint quality time in my book

sweet didnt realise thanks for the that

im a fan of the debadging falcon,xr6,turbo but I have to say im a ford man through and through and love the ford badge what I have done on past cars is remove the ford badge (and unfortunately this only works with the older style badges upto xf or maybe ea) take the back of the badge off get rid of the blue paint and match it up to your car or what ever colour you like

have t say im a plain hard cover man no bars and definately no spoilers pluss being a ba its a piece of piss to remove two people 5 min job

Hey guys and Gals I know this is not really the place but I cant post on the for sale section cause I aint up to 25 posts yet got a boot liner for sale genuine ford from a BA $80 pick up only please PM for details cheers

Dam first the cruise now this ill be away at work but there is a possibility of holidays is there a number limit if not ill be in for sure if im home

dunno if its any help but my ute was idleing real low and a bit shonky almost to the point of cutout (didnt notice any difference with lights etc) but it turned out to be the intake manifold joiner had a small hole (perished near hose clamp) and also two of my coil packs were arcing out on the rocker cover sending the ecu nutty

the old boy has only got about 300km's on his so he wont let me give it too much till its run in but from what ive read turning the traction controll off will let you have a bit of fun cant wait to try it see what happens unlike previous incarnations of traction controll this doesent seem to be to obtrusive and allows some fun spirited driving

yeh true the option would be good

g'day just thought id chime in my old man picked up his G6ET a couple of weeks ago and I have to say its an awesome and you can definately feel the power its optioned with the 10 spoke 19"s and is dark metalic grey (not sre of the colour name) with some nice black tint its got a definate bmw/audi feel and look about it (will post a couple of pics soon) as far as the LSD issue goes id have to say that this is not a sport model it is the refined model and as such most of the buyers of it wont be overly concearned about the ammount of drift the can get around the corner and im sure they dont want the thing hooking sideways taking off from the lights with a caravan on the back this is why ford builds the XR's and F6's cheers

g,day I gots me a 03' turbo in blueprint, lowered, hard cover, 20" advanti rims, new intercooler, F6 CAI, FRAM pannel filter CAPA flash tuner and exhaust in the pipeline nothing to outrageous just a sweet daily driver

also if it is of any help I have since fitted 20" rims to the ute and they went on no probs with no guard rolling required so if your going to upgrade rim size you should be sweet
