Yeah I think he had Nurburg's but moved them on? Eh if worm doesn't chime in I'll go the wheeldeal, Didn't realize they carried them! Checking a couple of local suppliers but Adelaide is always good for getting yourself a new exit out your body.

Great subforum you guys have going here, more decent pics of staggered combos than I can find anyplace else. Haven't been here in a while since I went PROPER turbo to turbo DIESEL, but going back to forced induction unfortunately with too many cylinders to feel the love here Anyway....Worm seems to have created a sub culture of his own and half the great looking wheels are his....Worm I still remember being in Micks workshop when you came in heck, in 2008/2009 perhaps? My rear FR19's were still ripping up the tyres on the guards of my old BA T sedan. Long time ago....don't think you quite had the wheel bug then. ANYWAY...in a more general sense. Just about to get delivery of a black GS ute and thinking a bronze set of the TSW Nurburgring or Panorama in staggered 20's would look rather sweet, or maybe even Enkei 19's, but the bronze has me I think in the TSW's. Could be a set for sale here for all I know as it's been so long I got the arse in the FS section But my main reason for posting was you guys seem to have some good leads for pricing on stuff and I was wondering if I could get a pointer or two on TSW sources. And/Or Enkei (could well still happen esp if a used set came up). Haven't got the patience to do the U.S. thing, and I'm picking her up Monday and would love to flog the GS wheels ASAP to keep the desc new or near new (hence need to get on with the show). MMMM black and bronze MMMM Thanks for any help

Hi all, rather than create a new piece of spam, I'll regurg my old thread. Im a chronic debadger, and subsequently mind changer. I've got the right location from this thread of the factory position of the XR6 and turbo badges....could anyone help out with the correct position of the 'FALCON' badge on the other side? Im short of a Falcon I trust to measure!!! On a BA / BF that is Any help appreciated And yes, I know I could leave them off but.....I AINT!

Cant have your cake and eat it too these days. Same decision we've all been making for years....my car is leased and I thought bugger it and modded it anyway. Risk vs reward.

Thanks mate. Yeah Bruce has tuned her before but too many changes without retune now so figured id take the opportunity (excuse)

Anyone had Bruce change valve springs? Cost? Ive finally grabbed a set of 968's off a member here (not after anything these wont support) but with my Mk1 BA and wanting 300rwkw'ish I assume Im knackered unless I do....Im really not hot to do actuators etc so its really getting what I can get out of what Ive got.

Make sure to get a firm payout from the lease co, mid lease there will be termination charges etc which can be pretty significant.

FTG Auto Salvages car, head over to fordforums and ye can read all about the build. I wouldnt mind this myself, but its a pricey beast.

A set in original excellent condition with no scratches or clear issues would sell for plenty......hard to find wheels in that sort of condition. Unless they've been reconditioned which often changes the look of them slightly. There is a set here in SA on EBay right now for $300. Looks like scratches and clear issues though.

If looking at your car and feeling the love is whats good for you, pick the colour that lights your fire. I had a old regency red EL that looks awesome every damn time I saw it in the drive dirty or not, makes it all worthwhile. My 'looks clean unless provoked' lightning strike BA would look just as good parked in a retirement home.

They're annoying but they are somebodies PETS. Just like your big dogs, whateva, could be some kids thing... Anyway, everybody can vent and this is a perfect place to do it, but suggestions of baiting etc aint funny, esp if you've had it happen to you.... We had a situation with a yappy dog next door. Approached the neighbours and they tried to sort it. Happened again, then once more. They ended up getting rid of the dog as they couldnt sort it and they knew next step was council. We never had to get stroppy, or unreasonable. Just worked through it. People can be remarkably understanding when they're approached.

The Borgg? The one thing I will say is when there are issues they're quick to swap them, no hassle. There just isnt enough in it to take the punt IMHO

I'd go the slight bit extra for the originals from EBay... I got the aftermarket jobbies twice...and my car is on LPG so probably fussier about spark. She runs much better on the genuine coils and the 'other' ones I had one coil fail out of the two sets. Even just buy one, its handy for troubleshooting.

I suspect xr6tego is a little, um, biased Lightning strike can look clean from a distance but I can tell you with 4 months accumulated dirt it starts to look like crap. I paid someone to clean the bastard it was so bad!

My dear brother coming from a BA turbo into a G6ET was surprised how 'in your face' the turbo is in the car. He'd never really noticed his in the BA..... But hey you need SOME aural excitement.

I dont think the OP actually asked what anybody thinks, but hell I'll jump in too I see a XR coming the opposite direction. Hertz car? XR N/A? Turbo? Eh all look the same. XR8? Looks good everytime, and stands out. Mines on my BA next week after 3 yrs of thinking about it. It just looks good.

Wow that's sexy. 10" under the rear with no rolling? Nice step up from BA/BF sedans.

Alternately, say I crapped out my BA's turbo one day.... Could it be rejiggered to get similar response characteristics to the newer XR6T turbo? I loved my drive of the FG turbo, that low down kick and 'always ready' grunt is awesome

Yassou they made a 3" stainless prior to the 3.5". Got one on my car at the mo. Bought mine off DCVIN when he was having his first sale thread.

Bargain mate, nice buy. I was watching for a set of these but gave up in the end...

Yeah its worth it. Depends which shop you go to as well, some 'generic' tunes are less generic than others, and they're the better for it (usually backed off a bit to keep it safer).... It'll tighten her up a bit and give her noticeably more poke. The BA in stock trim is a little 'subtle' Im sure you'd agree. Then wait a bit til you're convinced and get the custom tune.

Dont do it mate.... Im in the reverse position. Mines a 04 auto and has everything I want EXCEPT a clutch. Nothing like a manual....a change is not always as good as a holiday If I keep her in 12 mths I'll seriously consider doing a manual conversion. Then she'd be perfect.

Mate I'd spend the extra $50 and get a genuine set off EBay, Ive had both. If you're going that far I'd throw a new set of plugs in same time. Stock gap if stock, 0.8mm if running extra boost. I'd be surprised if between the two the problem didnt disappear. I've been down that track too.

Timbos any more news? Im interested in the outcome of this one, my BA has been perfect (albeit it had a aftermarket battery fitted by previous owner within the warranty period), but our SY Territory has been a PITA since we got it. Similar experience of repeated attempts at finding why the battery goes flat. We've just gotten used to occasionally charging it with a charger ....

Yessir, they specify that groovy factory 'always on' option. Think its a tad over $100.
