Upper Intake Manifold Pics
Here's some from an older model (not a BA) but pretty sure the upper is the same anyway? The first pic is of a modified one, they're not that smooth stock I got some better pics if you want them, just need to upload them, PM me if you need.

Anyone Used Dent King Before?
I'm guessing this is a paintless dent removal joint? If so, I have used this service when my car was bottled by some scumbags I had two dents in my rear quarter panel, one was the size of a 10c peice the other was about the size of a 5c peice I had some pics but can't find them ATM, but the results were good, I could still tell were the dents were but the average eye wouldn't be able to pick it.

Ford Help Line
PS if you can get the dealer to tell them it's a manufacturing defect you'll have more of a chance to get them to pay up. Sorry about the rushed posts!

Ford Help Line
I used to work there, the thing with after warranty assistance is that Ford do not need to offer customers this service, it's completely good will, if the car is out of warranty they will enter information into a program and note down things such as intervals between services, where it was serviced, previous brand new fords and if it has been a re-occuring problem etc etc If in their eyes your loyal to ford they will in most cases pay out of good-will, loyal meaning that you have previously bought brand new fords and have had them serviced at ford.

'10 Second Manual T'
Yes please, I'd love to see that!

Bov. Sound.
It wouldn't be making much boost while it's parked as there is no load for the turbo to make boost, that's why it doesn't go off while parked.

Ba Xr6t Manifold
I looked into this for my EF a little while back, the port spacing is the same but the holes for the bolts are in different locations, I'm guessing you could probably weld a EA-AU head plate on the BA manifold but an after market log manifold will be around $500 and at that price I'd just buy one of them rather than stuffing around.

El Xr6
I've got a EF, looks like an EL XR6 lol. Anyways, about the brakes mine has DBA gold slotted and drilled rotors all round and brakes fairly decently compared to stock so you could get him to upgrade. If he gets a manual have a look under the dash at the pedal box, if you see any cracks in the welds or stress marks, expect it to break, I recently had to change one and they're a pain in the ass (dash out job) Other than that, they're great cars.

Expected 1/4 Mile With New Power?
I don't see why it shouldn't run a very low 14 or high 13 if it's genuinly got 170rwkw, I'll be watching this with interested, I also want to get into the 13's but it's damn hard with a NA 6 falcon!

Fowles Aution
Hey guys, It's been 10 months since the last reply to this thread, and I was just wondering what they're going for these days? I'm after a MK1 Auto (turbo obviously) and wanna check out the auctions, my parents bought their AU2 from auctions and it's been fine and never missed a beat. I will be going to auctions soon just to get an idea, and have ordered the booklet that pickles sell which gives you all the prices from the cars sold in the last month. PS sorry for bumping up an old thread, just thought it'd be better bumping this one than making a new one! Cheers guys

Xr6t On Gas
I think he's talking about gas injection which uses special injectors for gas, I've actually seen a XR6T taxi on gas injection so it's definetely possible, pictures are on my phone.
