Thanks for your replies.

Hi I got a price from Repco of $26 each. I've heard some people on here paid significantly less than this for these plugs. Does anyone know where I can get them? Can't see any for sale on ebay at the moment. Thanks Mark

If you have a BF MkII you have the F6 motor so at least you have the strongest motor to start with.

I wouldn't be putting 235/55 R17. If I keep my 17's I will be getting 245/45 R17 which is what the FG's come with now. The slightly bigger overall diameter will improve your speedo accuracy too.

Legally, 245 is the widest you can go on an 8" rim in 40 series.

Is your car a Mk I or II? If it's a Mk II there was also a Mk II badge under the Falcon one.

It depends what wheels and tyres you are fitting. The wheels have different offsets and the tyres have different section widths. I have 9.5 inch rears with 275's and they just touched, so I had to get the guards rolled. Used Lowdown for the guard rolling. He did a top job.

and don't forget once the mods start, to re gap your plug

The Territory front brakes certainly fit with 17" rims but I'm not so sure the Territory Turbo brakes do as the Territory Turbo runs 18" rims (even the spare I believe).

Yes, having said they looked great, I still think there are way better looking rims out there. Maybe it was the fantasy colour of the car impressing me more than the wheels.

Yep, that would be it. Remember it sat nice and low and had the little lip on the boot. Looked great!

Saw a sedan in the colour fantasy with these wheels here in the northern suburbs (anyone here?). Must say it looked the goods. Didn't think much of these wheels til I saw them that day.

Yep, sounds like the exact same problem. I note in your sig you have a wog tune as I do. My car revs high on start up as well. I know it may not be the tune, but does your car do the same thing when running the standard tune? I'm sure I have had the car stall on start up with the standard tune and that is why I took it to Ford and they said I had a TPS failure but the car still has the same problem (thanks again Ford for nothing). I have been trying to get it to stall on the standard tune but it seems to run well on the standard tune. After my experience, I probably wouldn't bother wasting time and money changing the TPS because it made no difference on my car.

Just after starting, the engine light comes on and then after a couple of seconds the car dies. Start it up again and everything is fine. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have cleaned the throttle body and Ford replaced the throttle position sensor last week (thanks for nothing - actually thanks for charging me $350 to not fix the problem) but it is still doing this. The car also seems to have a rough idle. The car has a custom tune but I'm sure I've had it stall on the standard Ford tune. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Thanks. Mark

I'm sure I recall some people here getting Dunlop SP Sport Maxx in 19" for $350
