hey mate any luck with this problem. I have a similar problem with mine. changed diff bushes and still have my clunk.

Just wondering about the quality of these diff gears. does anyone have any experience with them. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-FPV-XR6-TURBO-BA-BF-DIFF-GEARS-3-7-3-73-3-9-/200534637224?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb0cbbaa8#ht_974wt_905

I launched at 3000 at my 1st outing and it wasn't enough. But I changed my t5 to t56 without changing my diff ratios. Will just have to get out and practise. Thanks for the replies

anyone have any tips for launching a manual?

You gunna be running it on the townsville strip any time in the near future?

LoL beau, nah mate not straight swap. want abit of dosh aswell

any1 wanna swap a t5 gearbox clutch and flywheel for t56 + MWA Opt3+ clutch setup

haha EJ I seen ya drivin the pink swift the other day and I thought it actually suited you much more than the T ever will

very nice work mate.

whats the go with this now ej. u getting an fg engine?

LoL

I payed 3k for my t56 that I got off slash

haha yea I know wat ya mean. my old knob used to do the same. maybe being alot more metal might mean that it takes alot more heat to get it hot so it may not heat up as much. I will find out 1 day I suppose but if it does ill just do wat I do with the old knob. just wrap a piece of paper or something around it

Nah mate was pretty easy for me to do at work. had to cut the thinner part of the stick back to about 20mm above the tapered section then run a die nut over it to suit the gear knob thread. I then cut the stick just below the tapered section to just above the first bend. vee'd it out and welded it back up. then used a linisher take the weld back flush.

My mate at work programmed and machined my up a aluminium gear knob and I cut the gearstick and shortened it. The whole set-up sits about 75mm lower than stock. these photos dont do it any justice. I couldn't see any blemishes but some off these photos make it look like there is some slight markings on the knob. looks 5x better irl but shows up any dirty marks really well let me know wat use think

true sh*t, not good. must be somethin in the air up here. everyone seems to be having problems

at what stage would you replace the fuel regulator

EJ what happend to your car mate?

mine does the same thing at the moment. also my engine code was coming up before hand and I took it to the mechanic and the error was something to do with the tps. I then replaced the tps and the engine light was still coming on after I disconnected the battery and all that. now I sometimes get revs fluctuating between 250-800rpm

they are pretty tight to clip on but that's wat stops them from coming off. u dont have to alter that number plate at all. they are a bit of a bastard to get on but just get the bottom side clipped on then push the top side hard against the number plate and push the latches over. hope that helps

Nice figures mate. give us an update on how it goes after u tested it out abit more. im heading down to the ville in 2 weeks and once I got some $$$ ill be getting a tune done

I got a job in townsville and start on the 2nd of augest so will be relocating down there shortly.

What happened to your car EJ?

yea sorry, I do realise it is water temp but it would give a indication if it is getting too hot. that is why I ask this question cos I want some opinions and reasons why ppl chose which guages

it is manual. I was thinking along the lines of fuel pressure, boost and oil pressure. wouldnt the temp gauge on the dash give u a good indication if your engine temps are getting 2 high anyway?
