congrats

Been a while, put me down as a maybe lads

I've fitted a fibreglass GT kit to my XR, was an absolute bitch to get to fit properly, but the end result is pretty effective. Exposes the intercooler and makes the car look really aggressive. Got a couple of crappy iPhone pics, but you will get the idea.

Try resetting the TPS. With the ignitiion OFF, press your foot to the floor, then crank the engine for about five seconds (it shouldn't start), then try starting it without the throttle. If it starts when your foot is planted, there is a problem somewhere and I would suggest taking it to a good mechanic to read any fault codes that may exist. Also, as mentioned above, make sure the throttle body and butterfly is nice and clean. Very little amount to carby cleaner on a lint free rag usually gets them spotless pretty quick. Cheers, Ben

The F6 has longer legs then the GT335 which gives it the rolling top end speed, however, tests have shown the GT335 is quicker down the 1/4 and too 100... nothing a bit of tuning won't change though. IMO do the right things to the SC V8 and it will be a lot stronger the the T6 right through the rev range, especially in the lower rev range.

You probably could get there, how safely & reliably would be the question though. Although, I don't think the cat will flow enough so you would probably have to punch it. My BA made 350rwhp on 10psi with 42lb injectors & cat back exhaust, only other change was a KN filter. Upgraded the cooler to HDi, 4" dump and 5" cat and made 404rwhp from 12psi.

He may want the luxury of the fairmont, think G6ET Easiest if you have a complete donor car mate, change the ECU along with the engine a drive train. You will probably need to go to ford to get your ICC working. Other then that, should be a simple change over of parts.

Has the car been tuned or is it still stock? Does it happen at the same RPM? If it's been tuned and happens at the same rpm every time, could be a torque tag setting somewhere. If it's still stock, then coils and/or plugs would cause it. Take it down to a workshop and ask them to plug a scan tool in and look for codes.

If it's grinding, make sure you have enough oil in there, pretty simple to check yourself. It also may not be the diff, I had a grinding in the rear of my car that sounded like a stuffed diff, but ended up being the handbrake liner on the left hand side. It wasn't disengaging all the way and wore through the pad to steel.

You need to disguise a camry?

There's no restriction in the state forests unless the track is gated with an no access sign? What are they chasing? Unregistered/unroadworthy vehicles? They gonna need a lot of coppers to block every exit lol, there's hundreds of em at Beerburrum.
