The Vin number needs to listed on the Ford computer as retailed. So taking one off a car in car yard can be knocked back if the dealer checks. Regards M G

Top gear is back on SBS from tonite, Mondays at 7:30pm. For the way they review, test and break cars regardless of price or model. Well worth the watch if you haven't already downloaded them from the net. Regards M G

Top Gear did a similar thing where they compared car types driving behind a Virgin Atlantic 747 to show that all those movies with cars chasing planes were crap. Regards M G

I removed the Turbo badge and painted the 6 red sometime ago and I think it looks a lot better than previously, of course with the aftermarket kit I dont have the XR6 badges on the side either. Regards M G

I will always have a sunroof in whatever car I have. Its not just the air in summer its also the light all year round, Regards M G

Auto's average around the 180-190 mark, keyword average.. Manuals average around the 190-200 mark. And welcome to the nuthouse. Regards M G

Exa would love to be able to head out on Wednesday but the reports of me having my car back are premature. Its still being worked on and at this stage I do not have an exact time its going to be back on the road, I am hopeful for this week but I have a feeling I will miss Wednesday. Good luck to those that head out though Regards M G

To be honest I have yet to get the bill for the braided hoses, however I will drop you a PM with the details once I have them. The cost is wrapped into the other mods that I was getting done at the same time. Regards M G

The Bigger turbo is installed along with the new manifold and external wastegate. There have been a few unforseen problems with the new setup and as this is the first one to be put into play I am waiting patiently for them all to be wrapped up before posting up the full details.. At this stage I am expecting to see Shahin back on the road by the end of the week, maybe in time for the Saturday night cruise. Regards M G

With most of the mechanical modifications on my plans complete I have started work on some of the cosmetic ones with the installation of some braided hoses in the engine bay. Also the installation of a metal water tank. As much as its a first step it just shows up all the other parts I want to clean up in the future. Still its a start, and the braided hoses were arranged through Earls in Sydney. The metal water tank was from PWR, just a note the pricing on the site is wrong as it does not include the cap. Regards M G

If Shahin is back on the road count me in. Regards M G

Bought a LG 50a about 6-8 monhts ago and it was more feature packed than all the others for about $800 less. Have taken it around the planet twice for business and it hammers along for business/graphics/games. Try Hardly Normal (Harvey Norman). Also found the service was easy to get when I needed answers to some questions. PM XR6ISM on toshiba gear he worked for Toshiba Support until last Friday, he can let you know specs or issues on that gear. Regards M G

Its whiny enough to hear it over the quad pipes, and it syncs in well with the extra noisy fuel pump and 15" sub woofer in the boot! It be one loud loud XR6T. Regards M G

All the AWC gear is top notch, I have heard that the Carbon Fibre bonnet is a better buy over the fibreglass one though. Regards M G

Greg, Looking at doing the same thing but not going to touch the Ebay specials, partly as most of that stuff is plain crap and also as I can't say I am mechanically minded. I will let you know who is doing mine when I get the details its being arranged early next week. Good to catchup at the Titans day, the Nos mobile is top notch Regards M G

Jeez and I was just about to say I thought you might have sucked up a pidgeon at cruising altitude, that would certainly dent the blades.... I think at times you got to take a light hearted view at things, as for whether a BoV is needed, opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one. Regards M G

It was good to see a decent turn out last night, I dropped by to wave the flag and talk some crap.. No comment on the Auto driver who managed to miss a gear! I can't say any more I am sworn to secrecy... Hopefully next gathering my car will be good to go as well. Regards M G

Sorry to hear about the Turbo, I can most definitely sympathise with you. Regards M G

Not sure who deleted my other post on my Turbo issues (PM pls Mods). However as mentioned Shahin was getting new work done and there have been issues getting the new dump pipe sorted so its onto the Dyno late today and tomorrow hence a no show at tonites runs, good luck to those that do. Regards M G

As posted on Ford Forums, I will be there. Regards M G

Thanks guys MT's on the BA 17" it is.. I will have 2 rims spare so if you are interested in a couple of cheap 17" for drags etc, pm me. Regards M G

Somewhere around the $300 mark. Regards M G

Been looking around to get some Semi Slicks and have decided the MT ET Street Radials are definitely the go. However having some issues getting rims that will fit the 275's. Does anyone on the forum run these tyres on the Standard 17" BA/BF rims? If so any issues? Or if you are using a different rim what are you using. Regards & Thanks for the information. M G

Bah work means I will be out of town on the 17th, will be there in thought though and if all goes to plan should be back out there on the 31st. Regards M G

Maybe she is a midget... Regards M G
