killer

Saw that car down on pittwater rd on the weekend. He was sitting 100 metres in the 60 from 70 zone. I slowed down long before his radar pinged me ---- seeing that this vehicle sticks out like dog balls. I really dont mind that the police like to stick out like sore thumbs as to be for warned of their approach has certainly saved me a lot of tickets. KILLER

Thanks ZAP It's so easy when you know how --- it just slid out KILLER

I am having trouble removing the electical connector from the bulb. I cannot see what type of fitting it is because of the rubber boot. Does the plug just pull out or is there something I am missing. It just does not want to budge. Advice needed KILLER

Bet you can't wait to get it all sorted Master G --- but on the other hand, when you think it's all sorted---you will want to do more I know--I have the same problem. A donk with bling--I like it KILLER

I rang a few auto places around Sydney and the general answer I got was to break the gearbox first, then get it fixed and strengthend. The reasoning behind this line of thinking is that it will cost you a lot less money in the long run because the 4 speed box is mechanicaly weak so why modify the auto because you do not know which part of it will give out. Save your money until you break it. It does make sense. I am running 330kw at the rears with a slightly modded auto($1500) and I know that it wont last too much longer. Better to spend your money later on a broken box than to spend it now whilst your auto is still working. The chance is that what ever you do to modify the auto it will be some other part that was not modified that will break. SAVE YOUR MONEY UNTIL IT IS TIME TO DO IT. KILLER

Thanks for the info guys. You have given me quite a bit to think about. Just looking for something that wont let go all the time after 3500 rpm It's a tad annoying having to feather the loud pedal when the need for speed arises ---- especially when a ricer with an exhaust pipe that is wider than his d-ck is long wants to challenge you. KILLER

Has anybody priced the pirelli pzero tyres lately to fit 18 inch rims. I can't find much on google inthe way of costings. Thanx KILLER

ZAINO PRODUCTS ARE REALLY SCHMICK-----I SWEAR BY THEM KILLER

NO WAY THAT I'M TAKING MY BEAST PAST THE SNOWLINE WITH OR WITHOUT CHAINS ------ TRACTION------ WHAT TRACTION???? KILLER

Thanks guys for all your information-- you have given me quite a few options to mull over. (maybe I should rephrase that) Luckily for me this car is not my daily drive, so hopefully I may get a reasonably decent life from the auto or maybe I'm dreaming. I'm glad to see you guys and the auto shops are doing the R & D because when it comes to gearboxs you could fit the sum of all my knowledge in that area on the top of a pinhead. Also any idea on cost for 350rwkw auto upgrade? KILLER

I have a phase 3 ba xr6t which has just been blueprinted and fitted with internals to handle 1000 horsepower. I have been running only 310 rwkw before this latest work with a modified auto gearbox which they say is good for 320rwkw but realisticaly for how long??? Would anybody have any idea as to the cost involved in upgrading my auto to handle 400rkrw so as I can dial up my tune to about 360 to 370 rwkw and have a gearbox that's "almost bullet proof." Also what internals would they change to cope with this extra kw. My auto has had line pressure increase and valve body changes plus a few other minor modifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated KILLER

XR8OWNER where do you live? I too have standard sound and YES IT CAN BE DONE. Simply speaking you need to hook up something like a FUSION FX-45 Indash Crossover/equalizer/line driver to aftermarket amp/sub package and BOOGEY TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT. KILLER

I'm really keen on getting the NEXUS boost gauge MODEL: 6459 (30psi) with a diameter of 2'' or 52.4 mm. I was wondering if anyone else on the forum has fitted one of these gauges in the fairmont clock dash moulding or have any forum members installed a guage of similar size into that moulding. I have no idea on the size of hole in the moulding until I order one from FORD Any input would be greatly appreciated. KILLER
