  1. Hi guys I went shopping today to purchase new rotors and pads for the rear of my 2009 fg xr6 turbo Ute. One shop said I needed 298mm another said 303mm. There was also a lot of confusion on which pads would fit. Basically I wanted the DBA 4505S 303mm x 16mm T3 REAR and bendix DB1376GCT pads. Am I going to have any problems with this set up? They confused the hell out of me lol. Cheers
  2. Hi guys I'm getting a custom tune done soon for my fg turbo Ute. Will I get extra power from the tune by adding a hi flow cat? My exhaust is stock and I want to keep it that way.
  3. The Ford Warranty and Service Guide states that 'A claim under the Ford Vehicle Warranty will also be rejected if a Modification is made to the vehicle by, or for you and such modification adversely affects the performance / compliance of the part in respect of which such claim is made.' I put that in the email and told them the Ford Mechanics could not even tell me how a CAI can affect Diff performance. The only reason I havnt had a custom tune was because of the warranty. Think I might book it into Real Dyno Tuning next week and get it done
  4. Thanks guys, I still have the original. I will try another dealer first. I'm sending Ford and the dealership an email now telling them what I think of them.
  5. Hey Guys. My Fg T ute has a clunky diff and Ford told me today they cant do anything about it because I have a SSinductions CAI so my drive line warranty has been voided. Has anyone else has this problem? is there anything I can do about this? Cheers Sam
  6. They dont come out till july, it says on their website various off sets to suit most cars.
  7. I was looking at the Koya Touring tek in matt black
  8. Has anyone fit 19x11 to the rear of an FG ute,or does anyone think it is possible and if so what size tyre? Cheers Sam
  9. Sorry dre im on the gold coast and want a full set. Now is a good time to buy them from tire rack in the USA I was quoted $1511.23us delivered so about $1400aus I think its a good price
  10. Hey Guys Im about to purchase Bridgestone Potenza Re-11 245/35R19 for my FG T ute. I saw on a few forums on here that they were highly recommended but no one seems to have tried them yet. So have any of you guys bought a set and are they as good as the reviews? Cheers Sam
  11. Not yet I'm saving it for the boss when he tells me that's where they all go and they should work fine.
  12. Mine are command and they just make the beeps. I paid $400 to have them installed when I bought the ute new. I thought ford were going to fit them but they got someone in to do it. An installer came over yesterday day to have a look he said that's where they fit them on all utes. I find that hard to beleive cause its 20cm lower than the recommended height according to the instructions. He took a photo of them and said he would show the boss and get back to me. I have a feeling they wont get back to me cause they know they f#@ked up and will either have to move them up and get me new bumpers or remove them, get me new bumpers and give me a refund.
  13. Thanks henz, I will show your pic to the installer.
  14. henz are yours fitted here?
  15. Hey guys I had ford fit aftermarket reverse sensors to my ute. They mounted them on the lower bumper about 30cm from the ground. The install instructions says to mount them between 50 and 80cm. They are useless they always pick up the ground and dont work at all if I have a load in the tray. Ford put me on to the installer and he said that's where they put them on all the utes and they never have problems with them. Has anyone had after market reverse sensors fitted and where abouts are they mounted? I really need some feedback so I can go back to ford and the installer and tell them where others have had them installed and if they have problems with them. Thanks Sam
  16. Hey guys whats the difference between the exhausts on the ute and the sedan? I have driven both and the sedan sounds better and feels more responsive. Sam
  17. Hey guys I just joined up and have been reading about the tail shaft problems with the FG XR6T ute. Does anyone know if ford have fixed this problem in the recent models? I pick mine up in a few weeks and I was told it was built at the start of OCT09. Also, has anyone lowered a FG ute using pedders sports ridder kit? and do you recommend it? Cheers Sam
