  1. has not set their status

  2. xro9 I understand were your coming from , sometimes I feel like bashing sum of my workers let alone call them names. on the smugglers though where does it end, don't wear them at the beach,at the public swimming pools , if he was teaching swimming that's the attire then.
  3. since it's off topic then if he called her a ranga so what get over it , we have a ranga running the country, you don't see her having a sook do you.
  4. look not being mean but I don't think forum post's like this have a place on car forums, and what I'm noticing it's happing alot on this forum. what's happing in people's personal life I think has no place on here unless it's car related. and there is other avenue's for your problem. yes I have a son I have had problems, but I take it up with the school. I don't know post like this have no place, but I could be wrong? see what other members have to say.
  5. look alot of members will say ex cop cars are no good, but like I said I have 1 as do alot of members on here do. just get the necessary checks done service will be up there as there done every 5000ks, well mine was anyway but mine was a country car. with the amount of kms it has it not that bad. just try get price down, upside car yard should give sum sort of warranty anyway.
  6. strange feeling that the white 1 is a ex cop car, it has the same optima blue top drycell battery mine has. im pretty sure it is, if it has reverse censors it is for sure. check inner front door sill for nsw police sticker. if it's from a yard ask who was the last owner and check it. by law they have to tell you. there's nothing wrong with cop cars as I have 1 as do plenty of members do.
  7. well you don't see ls1 breaking rods and there throttle bodies are at the front, know of a couple of guys with factory manifolds and still did rods 5/6. don't like to say but like *Beep* says could it be a surge issue. when I had no surge take and with half a tank or less going up a hill would get a little surging. put surge take in and can go up same hills with less than a qtr and guess what no surge.
  8. I orded 1 from a place on ebay canada, google iwt racing development inc, getting a original garrett gt35/40 $1500 deliverd. with the dollar at a all time high no aus company can come close, just make sure you get internal gated, you have to specify it when ordering. you won't be sorry.

    Which Xr6T

    5 owners in 4 years make's you wonder. to me I say stay away and just hold of until you find the right 1. unless you really have to buy now. there's plenty in victoria in your price range if your willing to travel.
  10. in
  11. look like ratter says you have a choice, if you are not happy let your money do the talking. I can assure you if everyone went and got vcm tune or sniper tune and stopped getting xcal boxes watch how cheap they get. but and a big but is if people do stop buying and herrods stop bringing them in watch how high the prices of vcm and sniper become. I don't know what they are paying for xcal boxes but in business the cheaper you pay and the more u can sell them for the more money you make.

    oops
  13. go the monza LOL
  14. what has me wondering you remove the top half of the intake to replace withhigh performance plenum, but your bolting it to the stock bottom half of the intake. so would it not still be restrictive. and why haven't the after market shops just build a full intake plenum like the fg one piece intake manifold. I don't see the sense in having 1 half flow really well and 1 half not.
  15. I'm divorced I spend a heap then feel guilty sitting there thinking should I have spent that money, then put foot down and say yeah worth it.
  16. you can order what comp cover you want, some are free and some you pay for. my mate darren who put me on to them bought 1 from there 6 months ago when dollar was 83cents. told customs for race car no import tax. when it got here identical to ours straight bolt on no modifying at all. been on now 6 months still good. like I said ratter would like to buy in aus and support local industry, but why when you can buy a aus product overseas for less why would I throw away a extra $500 to $700.
  17. was looking to get turbo rebuilt cheapest was $850 to $1150, so a friend put me onto ebay canada, got onto a company called, iwt racing devolopment inc. brand new garrett gt3582r or as we know them gt3540. was $1281 converted and add $100 for internal gated socomes out to $1381. with the dollar so good I ordered 1. so with the price of turbo and delivered comes out to $1470 fedx will have in 8 days. will keep old one as a spare, and no will not sell. I know we should support our aus companys but at the priced they charge how can we. honeywell who are garrett charge so much when I can buy there product overseas at a cheaper rate and I get a new turbo.
  18. fail
  19. spoke to sam at tempe's and those are original simmons as the bought the rights to simmons and own them. that pic was done at 9 am this morning. rears are 22 by 10s fronts 20 by 8 the rear is mini tubbed . those rims are a prototype and should be on the market within 2 weeks. down side not cheap he said. would not give a price. but I don't think you see much change from 6grand if that's the case.

    Next Vic Cruise

    I have not done a cruise yet, but would be up for that for sure, hope it goes ahead. will be good to meet a few people on here put faces to names.
  21. you should be fine, just don't go over 2500rpm, had my car tuned once with a boost leak at 14psi then found leak fixed it major overboost 20+psi nearly killed tuner who put everthing on car, split rubber connecter after throttle body, drove 3 weeks with it hardest thing to do without sticking it. just becareful and drive like a nanna.
  22. my uncle's fg f6 aircon went yesterday as well, seems like ford needs to do a recall it looks like it's happing 2 alot of fg's. that's not all 19000kms sterring rack making noise,left rear window not working,left wheel brake pads down to half when right looks brand new, and thermo fan went on but did not turn off,fixed under warranty but what next, mind you went from a hsv to this and I think he's regreting it.
  23. if you get onto ebay there is someone selling a typoon engine and 6speed auto that has 440 rwhp for $9000 with low ks.

    depending which state im in vic and got racv to do check for me when I bought mine, had books but still got it checked was there when they done it. they did everything from compression test,all driveline,testdrove for a good 15mins, yes mine is a x cop car and he was impressed with it, and if your there when he does it pay him extra $100 cash get him to write sum problems in like diff clunk,slipping auto, then go in for the kill and get a cople of grand off, trust me racv dudes don't get paid that well so extra $100 comes in handy hope that helps.
  25. to me it seems that you blokes and girls should be driving 4cyl, if you are worried about fuel economy. im pretty sure most members on here don't buy or mod there cars to get fuel economy. one week I will get 300ks then 450ks but I don't stress bout it, if you want to save money sell your car and buy a fiesta or focus ford have really good deals on them at the moment. simple we don't buy these cars for there fuel economy.
